Cultivar choice provides options for local production of organic and conventionally produced tomatoes with higher quality and antioxidant content

Abstract: Compared to production practices and environmental effects of years that are generally beyond the control of small-scale producers, choice of cultivar provides the simplest and most effective means of increasing antioxidant properties. Knowledge of tomato cultivars with naturally higher antioxidant levels could assist smaller-scale producers to grow fruit that may provide a competitive advantage and the opportunity to capitalize on the increasing popularity of locally grown, high-quality fresh produce.

“…Nevertheless some researchers found higher antioxidant activity values in organic compared to conventional crops (Aldrich et al, 2010;Arbos et al, 2010;Borguini et al, 2013). We expected that the highest antioxidant activity, among fruits, will be measured in raspberries.…”

“…Weibel et al (2000) showed that fruit quality of organic apples were either similar or slightly better than that of conventional ones. According to literature data, the organic crops presented higher antioxidant activity than conventional ones (Worthington, 2001;Wang et al, 2008;Aldrich et al, 2010;Arbos et al, 2010;Crinnion, 2010;Lairon, 2010;Borguini et al, 2013). This can be attributed to the fact that organic farming uses less phytopharmacheuticals and plant therefore develop several defense mechanisms (Koleva et al, 2002;Borguini et al, 2013).…”

“…Esta influencia del ambiente, determina la herabilidad y el éxito en la selección en los programas de mejora. Se ha visto que la localidad y el ciclo de cultivo, junto el cultivar y el estado de maduración del fruto influyen en el contenido de antioxidantes (Anza et al, 2006;Garcia y Barrett, 2006;Kumar et al, 2007;Aldrich et al, 2010).…”

“…Esta influencia del ambiente, determina la herabilidad y el éxito en la selección en los programas de mejora. Se ha visto que la localidad y el ciclo de cultivo, junto el cultivar y el estado de maduración del fruto influyen en el contenido de antioxidantes (Anza et al, 2006; Garcia y Barrett, 2006;Kumar et al, 2007;Aldrich et al, 2010).El efecto que tienen la radiación y la temperatura sobre el contenido de carotenoides en el tomate es significativo. Temperaturas por debajo de 12ºC inhiben fuertemente la biosíntesis de licopeno, mientras que temperaturas sobre 32ºC la detiene totalmente (Leoni, 1992).…”
