Research on Nutritional Composition of Tomatoes Fruit (Solanum Lycopersicum L.) Grown in Vietnam

Abstract

Tomatoes are consumed worldwide as fresh vegetables because of their high content of essential nutrients. Some physiological and biochemical indicators of ripe tomatoes grown in Vietnam were analyzed to determine the nutritional components. Research results show that tomatoes should be harvested 46 days after anthesis (DAA) to ensure the yield and nutritional value of the fruit during storage. At this time, the fruit contains many main nutrients such as reducing sugars, vitamin C, amino acids, organic acids, mineral elements.
