“…Pinela and others [16] analyzed tomato and -carotene content using the same methods on four tomato cultivars and reported that the lycopene content ranged within 0.051-0.095 g kg FW and 0.004-0.022 g kg −1 FW, respectively. The differences in lycopene and -carotene were significant ( < 0.05) among some tomato varieties as shown in Table 2, which has agreed with the results from other groups [16,20]. Pise and Sabale [28] studied the effect of three seaweed extracts (Ulva fasciata, Sargassum ilicifolium, and Gracilaria corticata) on the yield and quality of T. foenum-graecum L. and found significantly higher chlorophyll, carotenoid, and phenolic contents in plant sprayed with the tested extracts.…”

The objective of the present study is to investigate nutritional and antioxidant activity of four types of organic tomato cultivars. The differences in tomato quality are also tested between groups with or without treatment using an organic biostimulator, Stimplex. Total phenolic compounds (TPC), lycopene, -carotene, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and color parameters were investigated in the current study. The results showed that there was no significant difference in TPC among cultivars regardless of Stimplex treatment. Higher lycopene and -carotene were obtained in Stimplex treated tomatoes. Lycopene and -carotene contents were significantly different among cultivars ( < 0.05). DPPH scavenging activity in controlled group was significantly higher than that in the Stimplex treated tomatoes ( < 0.05). No significant difference in reducing power was detected among cultivars treatment groups. The study showed that the darker the tomato color, the higher the lycopene and -carotene contents and the stronger the reducing power.

“…Compared with the results of Erba et al [16], our P, Ca, and Mg values were greater, our Cu and Zn lower, and the rest of the mineral elements similar. The lycopene, ascorbic acid, and phenol contents were similar to the low values reported by Figàs et al [13]. For citric acid, the contents were higher than those reported by Lahoz et al [14], while for malic acid they were lower.…”

There were no differences in glucose or fructose content whose values were similar to the maximum values reported by Figàs et al [13] and Lahoz et al [14]. While fruit and vegetable mineral element concentrations are strongly influenced by the content of those elements in the soil or nutritional solution [15], no significant differences were found in total Fe, Cu, or Zn.…”

Tomatoes have been described as a functional food because of their particular composition of different bioactive compounds. In this study, the proximate composition, minerals and trace elements, and antioxidant compounds were determined in two tomato cultivars (Mariana and Dunkan) that were grown in Gran Canaria (Spain) either conventionally or hydroponically. Although compositional data of this type require being subjected to the specific statistical techniques of compositional analysis, this approach has not usually been considered in this context. In the present case, a compositional Mann–Whitney U test of the data showed significant differences for each factor (cultivar and cultivation system) in several of the compositional variables studied. For the differences between cultivars, these parameters were the protein, Mg, lycopene, ascorbic acid, citric acid, and fumaric acid contents. For the differences between cultivation systems, they were mainly those of the mineral and trace elements group. Although one-year data are insufficient to make clear relationship among compounds because more repetitions in several localities and years are necessary, the compositional HJ-biplot (in which the links provide estimates of the linear relationship among variables) results agreed with other scientific results about linear relationship among some compounds analyzed.

“…Nutritional value of tomato fruit was significantly affected by both factors (cover materials and harvesting date), especially regarding fat and carbohydrate content. Although nutritional value of tomato fruit is highly associated with genotype and cultivar group, manipulation of growth conditions within controlled environments may help to enhance nutritional value and increase tomato fruit quality …”

The effect of covering material on the yield, quality and chemical composition of greenhouse‐grown tomato fruit

BACKGROUND During the last few decades, greenhouse technology for horticultural crops has focused on retaining optimum conditions within the greenhouse environment that could allow for a compromise between maximum yields and minimum production costs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of three greenhouse covering materials and five harvesting dates on the yield and quality parameters of hydroponically produced tomato fruit, as well as on energy consumption. RESULTS Plants had a higher growth rate at early stages for S‐PE cover material, while differences were minimized at later stages. Tocopherol content was the highest for ID‐PE material and harvesting later than 170 days after transplanting (DAT), while sugar content (fructose and glucose) was the highest for S‐PE material and 157 DAT. Organic acid content was the highest at early harvestings, especially for 7‐PE and S‐PE cover materials, while it exhibited decreasing trends at later harvesting dates. Antioxidant properties showed a varied response to cover materials and harvesting dates, while β‐carotene, carotenoids and chlorophylls were the highest for 7‐PE material. CONCLUSIONS The results showed that both cover materials and harvesting date may affect significantly tomato fruit quality, especially sugar and organic acid contents which are associated with fruit taste, as well as tocopherols which contribute to antioxidant properties and pigments that are associated with fruit ripening and earliness of marketable maturity. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry
