Landrace, traditional or local varieties are of great importance in family farming, as they are genetical materials preserved across generations and promote biodiversity conservation. Post-harvest knowledge can reduce losses and help the farmers make informed decisions regarding the optimal point of sale. The aim of this work was to determine the storage time of seven landrace tomato accessions collected in the Rio Grande do Sul/Brazil. For this, physical and chemical quality parameters were measured under two storage conditions: ambient (25 ºC) and refrigerated (10 ºC), at 0, 7 and 14 days of storage, evaluating the pH, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, weight, pulp firmness and color. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, and the means were compared using Tukey’s test (5 %). Refrigeration helps maintain the pulp firmness and increased total soluble solids and titratable acidity, which, together with pH was better preserved under refrigerated storage. Under these conditions, after 14 days, fruits stored in refrigeration remained within acceptable commercial quality standards, whereas those kept at room temperature had already entered the senescence process. Landrace tomatoes can be stored for 14 days in a domestic refrigerator (10 °C) without significant losses in their physicochemical parameters.
