• Abstract:

  The reddish color of the ripe tomato

  is a decoy to the attention of the consumer by

  its reddish color. The changes that take place

  in the composition of the tomato during the

  maturation have been studied through some

  quality characteristics, such as: acidity, soluble solids, sugar content, color, among

  others. The objective of this work was to characterize tomato cultivars grown and

  planted in Guarapuava / PR. The analyzes performed for this work were: soluble

  solids, titratable acidity, pH and colorimetric analysis. Among the cultivars of tomatoes

  analyzed the cultivar M2 was the one with the highest index of ºBrix, sugar and best

  harvest point, being one of the most important qualities for the tomato, because the

  higher soluble solids content, the higher the yield and the lower the preparation cost

  for the process of industrialization of pulp concentration. The studied cultivars present

  varied characteristics, being able to be destined to several products of the alimentary

  industry.
