Technological and Organoleptic Properties of Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) Produced on Soilless Substrates in Daloa (Haut Sassandra Region, Côte d'Ivoire)
Abstract:The present study was carried out to characterise tomatoes produced on soilless substrates (cocoa, sawdust, cashew and rice husk) and to evaluate their impact on the technological and organoleptic characteristics of the tomato. A tomato crop was grown on these different substrates for three months. The tomato fruits from each substrate were subjected to chemical, technological and sensory analysis. The tomatoes of the different substrates have a high water content (94.83- 96.37%). Regarding the technological p… Show more
