Texture parameters for the turning and red-ripe fruit in both experiments.

Data are means ±standard deviation (three independent replicates). Means followed by different letters indicate significant differences among the varieties within each storage time (lowercase letters) and among the storage times within variety (uppercase letters) (p <0.05; Tukey-Kramer’s tests). Fp, force required to puncture tomato skin (N); Dp, fruit deformation before skin rupture (mm); Wp, mechanical work necessary to reach the breaking point (N.mm). ni, not included in experiment. For varieties codes, see S1 Table.
