Weight loss was limited in tomatoes treated with melatonin and salicylic acid, preventing spoilage during storage.
Tomatoes treated with the SA + ML combination showed less decline in nutritional value compared to untreated fruits.
Applications of melatonin and salicylic acid were assessed during 24 days of cold storage, with significant results seen by day 16.
Sa and ML applications support extending shelf life and maintaining quality, yet some effectiveness diminished by day 24.
