At the end of the experiment (treatment + ripening period),ORAC and TEAC assays showed that hyperbaric and low tempera-ture treatments did not significantly (P > 0.05) affect LAA (Table 6).LAA slightly, but not significantly (P > 0.05), increased between day9 and day 14 (Table 6). However, when considering the entire ripen-ing period, a significant increase in LAA (P < 0.05) was observed fortomatoes previously subjected to hyperbaric treatment at 0.5, 0.7and 0.9 MPa.
