Suitability of tomato for processing

Solanum lycopersicum L.

The set of tomato fruit characteristics that determine their efficiency for use in the production of pastes, juices, and canned goods. The main criteria are the levels of dry matter, composition of pectins, acids, lycopene, as well as technological properties for mechanical harvesting.

In the reference 812 varieties crop Tomato, where this is mentioned in the description.

A key indicator of tomato suitability for industrial processing is the dry matter content, which includes soluble solids (Brix) that determine juice quality, and total dry matter that influences viscosity and finished product yield. Important factors include the concentration of pectin substances to achieve consistency, organic acids for taste balance and product safety, and lycopene, which provides the necessary color intensity.

Technological requirements include uniform ripening, which enables mechanical harvesting of the fruit in a single pass. Morphological characteristics, such as size, shape, and high skin and flesh firmness, are critical for ensuring the integrity of the crop during transport to processing plants and for whole-peel canning.
