Abstract: (96 Views)
Nowadays, the demand for healthy and quality products has increased among consumers, and the use of selenium nanoparticles has beneficial effects in delaying aging and maintaining the quality of horticultural products due to its antioxidant properties. This research was carried out with the aim of investigating the effect of selenium nanoparticles on the quality and shelf life of cherry tomato fruit in a factorial experiment in the form of a completely random statistical design with three replications. First, cherry tomato seeds were cultivated in pots containing perlite and vermiculite (1-2) after disinfection. Then, the seedlings were sprayed with selenium nanoparticles (2, 4, 6 and 8 mg l-1) at flower formation 3 times with an interval 10 days. After harvesting, the containers containing 5 fruits were placed in a refrigerator with a temperature of 4±1°C and a humidity of 85-90%. Sampling and evaluation of traits were done on the day of the experiment, 7, 14 and 21 days after harvesting. The results showed that the highest percentage of fruit relative fresh weight and cell membrane stability index, amount of soluble solids and titratable acidity, total carotenoid and chlorophyll content, amount of vitamin C and total antioxidant activity in the treatment of selenium nanoparticles was 4 mg l-1 and the highest amount pH and total phenol were obtained in the treatment of selenium nanoparticles of 2 mg l-1. Also, the maximum and minimum storage life of fruits were observed with 29.5 and 18.3 days respectively in the treatment of selenium nanoparticles 4 mg l-1 and 8 mg l-1. According to the results obtained from this research, the use of selenium nanoparticles with concentrations of 2 mg l-1 is an effective treatment for maintaining the quality and shelf life of Roma cherry tomatoes.
