The study used an experimental method consisting of 4 levels, namely without coating (K0V), 30% aloe vera coating (K30V), 50% aloe vera coating (K50V),and 70% aloe vera coating (K70V). The results showed that the coating treatment of aloe vera had an effect on the total dissolved solids (TPT) and vitamin C in storage of tomatoes, although based on statistical results it did not show significant results. The best concentration to maintaince the shelf life of tomatos is aloe vera coating 30% (K30V) treatment was the best concentration
