(Dnline) vitamins A, B1, B2, B5 and C, fibers and minerals, besides its low caloric power (Alvarenga & Coelho, 2013). High quality fruit production depends on environmental factors such as light and weather, besides farming practices, and genetic variability among the materials is a strategy for crop improvement (Causse et al., 2003). Horticultural products quality is associated with its integrity, flavor and texture, interrelated to other physical, chemical and nutritional properties (Chitarra & Chitarra, 2005). Quality and quantity attributes such as sugar quantity, soluble solid rates, acidity, pH and firmness are common in tomatoes consumed in houses and also for the fruits directed to industrial processing, and they may be compared between progenies (Quilot-Turion & Causse, 2014). Fruit shape and size, as well as its firmness, pericarp thickness, humidity rate, juice viscosity, soluble solid and total titratable acidity relation promote variations on physicochemical and nutritional quality of tomato product fruit (Siddiqui et al., 2015). According to Riahi et al. (2009), Olahy et al. (2011), Domínguez et al. (2012) quality attributes like fruit color and firmness, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, vitamin C, lycopene, phenolic compounds, are dependent of the cultivar. Dther factors which influence those variables are environmental conditions, fertilization, agronomic practices of farming and after-harvest storage (
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
