[In Hungarian. / En hongrois.]

Type of article: Article

Summary

IN THE FIRST SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS, THE CAROTENOID CONTENT WAS DETERMINED IN FRUITS OF THE SAME VARIETY AT 3 DIFFERENT STAGES OF RIPENESS AND IN THE SECOND SERIES IN 3 DIFFERENT FULLY RIPE TOMATO CULTIVARS. THE SAMPLES FROZEN AT 243 K (-30 DEG C) AND STORED AT 253 K (-20 DEG C) WERE ANALYZED FOR THEIR CAROTENOID CONTENT. THE FIRST SERIES WAS TESTED 8 TIMES DURING A STORAGE PERIOD OF ABOUT 6 MONTHS, AND THE SECOND SERIES 10 TIMES DURING 1 YEAR. THE CAROTENOID CONTENT WAS FOUND TO HAVE DECREASED DURING FROZEN STORAGE. THE DECREASE WAS MORE SUBSTANTIAL IN CUBES OF LESS RIPE TOMATOES AND WAS IN CLOSE LINEAR CORRELATION WITH THE STORAGE PERIOD.
