ResumoNeste trabalho foi avaliado o efeito da temperatura de secagem nos conteúdos de compostos fenólicos totais, licopeno e ácido ascórbico, na cor e na qualidade sensorial do tomate seco. Tomates cultivar Dominador foram secos a 55, 65, 75 e 85 ºC. A cor instrumental do tomate seco foi determinada separadamente nos lados da polpa e da casca. Na análise sensorial afetiva, foram analisados os atributos aparência, cor, aroma, sabor e textura. O índice de aceitabilidade e a intenção de compra também foram considerados. De acordo com os resultados, concentrações crescentes de compostos fenólicos totais e licopeno foram verificadas com o aumento da temperatura de secagem do tomate entre 55 e 75 ºC. Diminuição significativa no conteúdo de ácido ascórbico foi verificada durante a secagem, cujos valores variaram de 38,82 ± 2,47 mg 100 g -1 após secagem a 55 ºC, caindo para 21,68 ± 1,30 mg 100 g -1 a 85 ºC. Decréscimos significativos nos valores de a* e L* foram verificados em ambos os lados da fatia do tomate seco (polpa e da casca), mostrando que o aumento da temperatura causa perda de cor vermelha e escurecimento do tomate seco. De acordo com a análise sensorial, dentre as temperaturas testadas na secagem do tomate a que apresentou melhores resultados foi 75 ºC. Este estudo mostrou que a secagem convencional de tomate com ar aquecido a 75 ºC é a mais recomendada entre as temperaturas testadas. Palavras-chave: Lycopersicon esculentum, ácido ascórbico, fenólicos totais, licopeno AbstractThis study evaluated the effect of drying temperature on the total phenolic compounds, lycopene and ascorbic acid contents, color and sensory quality of dried tomato. Tomatoes cv. Dominador were dried at 55, 65, 75 and 85 °C. The instrumental color of dried tomato was determined separately on the sides of pulp and peel. In affective sensory analysis appearance, color, aroma, flavor and texture attributes were considered. Acceptance index and purchase intent were also evaluated. According to the results, increasing concentrations of phenolic compounds and lycopene were observed with increased drying temperature to 75 °C. Significant decrease in ascorbic acid content was observed during drying, which ranged from 38.82 ± 2.47 mg 100 g -1 after drying at 55 °C, dropping to 21.68 ± 1.30 mg 100 g -1 at 85 °C. Significant decrease in values of a* and L* were observed on both sides of the dried tomato slices (pulp and peel), showing that the increase in temperature causes loss of red color and browning of dried tomato. According to sensory analysis, among the temperatures tested in drying tomatoes the one that showed best results was 75 °C. This study showed that drying-conventional tomato with air heated to 75 °C is the most recommended among the temperatures tested.
