This is not a new problem, but one which has long needed additional study. Bruising is intensified because the damage is cumu lative, increasing with the numerous handling Operations between harvesting and retailing. Moreover, much of the bruising injury is internal, and is not visible on the outside of the tomatoes. The opinion is sometimes heard in the trade that mature-green tomatoes can withstand rough handling without becoming bruised; but tomatoes are subject to bruising at any stage after harvest. The stage of ripeness does, however, affect the appearance of the bruised area, and, of course, the riper the fruits, the easier they are d Bruising is easily overlooked because much of it is hidden damage. Unless tomatoes are pressed out of shape, soft, or water-soaked, bruis ing cannot be detected until they are cut.
