Influence of Organic versus Conventional Agricultural Practice on the Antioxidant Microconstituent Content of Tomatoes and Derived Purees; Consequences on Antioxidant Plasma Status in Humans

Abstract: The present study aims first to compare the antioxidant microconstituent contents between organically and conventionally grown tomatoes and, second, to evaluate whether the consumption of purees made of these tomatoes can differently affect the plasma levels of antioxidant microconstituents in humans. When results were expressed as fresh matter, organic tomatoes had higher vitamin C, carotenoids, and polyphenol contents (except for chlorogenic acid) than conventional tomatoes. When results were expressed as dr… Show more

“…Ascorbic acid content in organically fertilized tomatoes ranges between 29% and 31% [23,34], which is higher than the results obtained from tomatoes that were fertilized with mineral solutions. Similarly, ascorbic acid content in tomatoes cultivated with an organic substrate was higher than hydroponically cultivated tomatoes [35].…”

“…Tomatoes grown by the conventional or organic agricultural practices did not show any significant difference in the carotenoid content [23].Thus, the absence of any difference between the organic and conventional tomatoes could be due to the control over the ripening, transportation and storage conditions [54].…”

“…These data are at least 1 order of magnitude higher than those commonly reported for tomato whole fruits (35,36), but several authors already reported similar levels of phenolic compounds for tomato peel (37,38).…”

“…When individual polyphenols are considered, a more complex situation is pointed out. Only rutin and naringenin contents are higher under organic management, while the content of chlorogenic acid, the most abundant component, is higher under conventional management [74]. For two cultivars along 3 years [70], quercetin and kaempferol amounts are higher with organic farming than with conventional one with the exception of quercetin amount in 2005 (higher in conventional farming).…”
