OverviewTomato is very important crop but has short shelf life. They are the major dietary source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been linked to many health benefits, and a great source of vitamins C, potassium, etc. They carry microbial flora while passing from the farm to the table. Microbial spoilage and contaminating pathogens pose a serious problem in food safety. The present work is carried out to compare & determine the total microbial load on fresh tomatoes and stored tomatoes, collected from farm level part of Vadal and vanthali with different treatments.For a better experimental analysis some factors were considered like ozone action, plastic packaging material viz. 50µ, 10 no. of holes in plastic packaging material, fixed low storage temperature i.e. 10°C and microbial analysis at 3 days of time interval.Total viable counts on N-agar plates, yeast and mould count on potato dextrose agar plates, growth of E.coli & salmonella on EMB agar plate and SS agar plate respectively analysed for Tomatoes. Through this analysis of different treatment postharvest losses caused by microbes can be minimized.
