Shelf life and quality of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) fruits as affected by neem leaf extract dipping and beeswax coating

The data was generated to investigate the effect of Beeswax (BW) coating and Neem leaf extract (NLE) dipping on the shelf life and quality of tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) over a storage period of 36 days. A factorial combination of four levels of Neem plant extract (control, 15%, 20% and 25%) and four levels of beeswax coating (control, 3%, 6% and 9%) storage treatments with three replications were applied on fully matured green tomatoes in the study. The treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design. The average storage room air temperature and relative humidity varied from 15.2 ºC to 20.4 ºC and 55.53% to 69.46% RH during 36 days of storage period at Haramaya University from February to April 2020. Data were recorded on 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, and 36 days after storage. Data on physiological loss in weight, chemical compositions (total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, and ascorbic acid), decay (%), percentage marketability, and shelf life were...

本数据集旨在探究蜂蜡（Beeswax, BW）涂膜与印楝叶提取物（Neem leaf extract, NLE）浸渍处理对番茄（*Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.*）在36天贮藏周期内的货架寿命与品质的影响。本研究以完全成熟的青番茄为试验材料，设置4个印楝提取物浓度梯度（对照组、15%、20%、25%）与4个蜂蜡涂膜浓度梯度（对照组、3%、6%、9%）的析因处理组合，每组设置3次重复，所有处理采用完全随机区组设计进行排布。试验于2020年2月至4月在哈拉玛雅大学（Haramaya University）开展，36天贮藏期间，库房空气温度介于15.2℃至20.4℃之间，相对湿度（Relative Humidity, RH）为55.53%至69.46%。分别于贮藏后第4、8、12、16、20、24、28、32及36天采集数据，测定指标包括失重率（生理重量损失）、化学成分（总可溶性固形物、pH值、可滴定酸度及抗坏血酸含量）、腐烂率（%）、商品果百分率及货架寿命等……
