“…Ascorbic acid content in organically fertilized tomatoes ranges between 29% and 31% [23,34], which is higher than the results obtained from tomatoes that were fertilized with mineral solutions. Similarly, ascorbic acid content in tomatoes cultivated with an organic substrate was higher than hydroponically cultivated tomatoes [35].…”

“…Tomatoes grown by the conventional or organic agricultural practices did not show any significant difference in the carotenoid content [23].Thus, the absence of any difference between the organic and conventional tomatoes could be due to the control over the ripening, transportation and storage conditions [54].…”

The effect of shielding solar ultraviolet B radiation on the accumulation of some flavonoids and their precursor hydroxycinnamic acids in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) was evaluated by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). In particular, flesh and peel of two tomato hybrids, DRW 5981 and Esperanza, were separately analyzed. The hybrids have been chosen for their different responses to the light, since it was previously reported that they show different pigmentation and opposite behavior under UV-B in terms of carotenoids and ascorbic acid content at different ripening stages. To determine the effect of UV-B radiation during tomato ripening, we also measured the expression of some flavonoid biosynthetic genes by realtime reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. The results allowed us to conclude that UV-B radiation deeply and differentially affects the content of the considered flavonoids and hydroxycinnamic acids as well as the expression of some of their biosynthetic genes in both flesh and peel during the ripening process. On the other hand, the collected data clearly showed that this influence varies between different genotypes. We conclude that the use of specific plastic covers able to eliminate UV-B radiation may be an environmentally friendly approach to modulate the expression of structural genes and, in turn, to enhance healthy antioxidant compounds in fruits of specific tomato cultivars.

“…When individual polyphenols are considered, a more complex situation is pointed out. Only rutin and naringenin contents are higher under organic management, while the content of chlorogenic acid, the most abundant component, is higher under conventional management [74]. For two cultivars along 3 years [70], quercetin and kaempferol amounts are higher with organic farming than with conventional one with the exception of quercetin amount in 2005 (higher in conventional farming).…”

relevance of scientific studies on this subject. Taking into account the reviews published since 2008, a general overlook on the research topics can emphasize the main current fields in which the research is presently developed. The different subjects which may be inferred are: problems in the analytical assays of polyphenols [1][2][3][4][5], polyphenols composition of fruits and vegetables [6][7][8][9][10], the fate of polyphenols in postharvest technology [11, 12], chemistry and biochemistry [13][14][15][16], polyphenols and food [17][18][19][20][21], polyphenols and health [22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. From this short survey which takes into account only partly the last years, the great number and variety of researches on these plants metabolites can be pointed out. There is a lack of reviews on the relations between polyphenols content, fertilization and agriculture practice, with the exception of a recent review on the possibility of differentiating organic practice by means of secondary plant metabolites in carrots [29], and the review of Stefanelli et al. [18] focused on horticulture quality under minimal nitrogen and water supply.The aim of this review is concerned with the relationships between polyphenols content, fertilization and agricultural practice correlated to soil management. Effect of nitrogen and/or potassium fertilizationAs summed up by Nguyen and Niemeyer [30], the carbon/nitrogen balance (CNB) pathways can be taken into account when studying the effect of nitrogen fertilization on phenolic content. Phenylalanine is the rate-limiting precursor for phenylpropanoid synthesis (e.g., lignin, flavonoids and condensed tannins), and at the same time, it is an essential amino acid for protein synthesis. Plant growth is heavily dependent on protein synthesis for the manufacture of photosynthetic, biosynthetic and regulatory enzymes, as well as for structural protein, and phenolic synthesis Abstract The review deals with polyphenol content of vegetables and fruits under different experimental conditions. The effect of fertilizers, mainly nitrogen containing fertilizers, on qualitative and especially quantitative content of the polyphenols mixture, was reviewed. Soil nitrogen affects both anthocyanins and flavonoids content, and generally, a higher polyphenolic content is observed when less nitrogen fertilizer is added to the soil. Also the effect of different agricultural management (conventional, organic, biodynamic, integrate) is reviewed with respect to polyphenols. In this case, a major effect has pointed out in the case of vegetables, while agricultural practice affects in a minimal way fruits polyphenols content. The effect of different management is, however, hardly pointed out, since many environmental factors are involved and affect polyphenols biosynthetic pathway.
