Abstract

Nine different tomatoe varieties Lycopersicum esculentum grown in Erdemli Sarikaya Mersin, Turkey were harvested at maturity, and some quality characteristics of the tomatoes such as total carotenoid compound, ascorbic acid, total soluble solids and color properties were determined. The total solids content 8.58 g/100g and ascorbic acid content 397.74 mg/kg of the tomato cultivar of the M10 cluster type were found the highest among the varieties studied. The M4 beef type F1 had the highest total carotenoid 72.77 mg/kg and lycopene contents 42.71 mg/kg . The M7 beef-type F1 had the highest a* 24.41 and C* 29.14 values. In terms of quality criteria, promising results were obtained for the varieties with lesser importance for cultivation

Abstract

Erdemli Sarıkaya yöresinde Mersin yetiştirilen dokuz farklı domates Lycopersicum esculentum çeşidinin olgunluk döneminde toplam karotenoid, karotenoid bileşen, askorbik asit, toplam kuru madde ve renk özellikleri incelenmiştir. Toplam kurumadde değeri ve askorbik asit içeriği bakımından en yüksek değerler M10 salkım tipidomates çeşidinde belirlenmiş olup ve bu değerler sırasıyla 8.58 g/100g ile 397.74 mg/kg olarak tespit edilmiştir. Toplam karotenoid 72.77 mg/kg ve likopen içeriğine 42.71 mg/kg ait en yüksek değerler de M4 beef tipi’nde F1 tespit edilmiştir. M7 beef tipi F1 en yüksek CIE a* ve C* değeri sırasıyla 24.41 ve 29.14’tür. Yetiştiricilik bakımından öne çıkmayan çeşitlerde de kalite kriterleri bakımından ümit verici sonuçlar elde edilmiştir
