#### 2.2.1. Weight Loss and Decay

Figure 2 illustrates the effects of the EP application (vapor and dipping) on the weight loss and decay of tomato fruits. Dipping application with 0.4% EP resulted in increased weight loss on the 12th day and up to the last day of storage (0.98 and 1.02%, respectively) (Figure 2B), while no differences on weight loss were observed after vapor application (Figure 2A). No significant differences (*p* > 0.05) regarding the decay of tomato fruits were reported throughout storage for both application methods (Figure 2C,D).

**Figure 2.** Effects of vapor (**A**,**C**) or dipping (**B**,**D**) application with eco-product (EP) at different concentrations (0%, 0.4% and 0.8%), chlorine (0.02%) or control (application of water) on weight loss (%) and decay (scale 1–10) of tomato fruits stored up to 14 days at 11 ◦C. In each day, means (±SE) followed by different Latin letters significantly differ according to Duncan's MRT (*p* = 0.05). ns: not significant.
