Abstract

Quality and safety attributes, like colour (CIELab parameters), texture (Maximum force – MF), total phenolics content (TPC), peroxidase activity (POD), microbial count and moulds & yeasts (Log10 cfu g-1) were determined on heat treated mature-green tomatoes at temperature ranging of 40 to 50 ºC and different times. Heat treatments (HT) did not affect significantly (p>0.05) the tomatoes colour. In terms of texture, a reduction of 10% MF was observed at 50 ºC_15min...
