Analysis of Antioxidant Compounds and Hydroxymethylfurfural in Processing Tomato Cultivars

-1 79.7 to 155.0 mg·kg -1 79.7 to 155.0 mg·kg fresh weight. There was a signifi cant difference between the lycopene concentrations of fruit harvested at two different dates. The values were higher at the second harvest, probably due to the cooler weather conditions preceding that harvest. Total polyphenols correlated strongly with TAS but the other antioxidants did not have any relationship to TAS. GDD were strongly and positively correlated with hydroxymethylfurfural content in fresh tomatoes.
