Tomatoes ripen more slowly in a refrigerator due to the lower temperatures that hinder chemical reactions and ethylene gas production. In contrast, room temperature allows for better ethylene accumulation, promoting ripening. Therefore, the conditions in a refrigerator are less favorable for ripening compared to leaving tomatoes on a table at room temperature.
