Abstract

Traditional crop varieties are useful sources of desirable characteristics for developing new cultivars with improved nutritive and sensory attributes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the fruit-quality parameters in three traditional tomato genotypes: pink, yellow and dark colors. The results showed that yellow-colored tomatoes had the highest TSS/TTA ratio and antioxidative activity, but the lowest content of lycopene and β-carotene. The genotypic differences in the carotenoid components were also confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. The advantage of the yellow-tomato genotype related to fruit-quality compounds compared to the other genotypes indicated its potential in a breeding program.
Keywords: colored fruit tomatoes; Raman spectroscopy; fruit quality; carotenoids colored fruit tomatoes; Raman spectroscopy; fruit quality; carotenoids
