Suitability of Tomato for Processing
Solanum lycopersicum L. var. lycopersicum
A comprehensive index of tomato quality focused on industrial efficiency, incorporating biochemical fruit parameters and morphological features for mechanized harvesting.
In the reference 58 varieties crop Tomato, where this is mentioned in the description.
Key criteria for suitability include high dry matter content measured in degrees Brix, an optimal sugar-to-acid balance, and intense coloration due to high lycopene content. Viscosity parameters, determined by pectin and fiber content, play an important role as they dictate the yield of finished products such as tomato paste or juice.
Technological efficiency also depends on the morphological characteristics of the variety: uniformity of fruit ripening, absence of green shoulders, and the ability of fruits to undergo 'jointless' abscission, which is critical for mechanized harvesting. High fruit firmness and resistance to cracking ensure the preservation of quality during transport to processing plants and subsequent thermal treatment.
