Authors:   F.J. López-Andréu, A. Lamela, R.M. Esteban, J.G. Collado
Abstract:
In relation to a study of the tomato fruit maturation process, the quality parameters (mineral composition, moisture, sugars, pectic substances, acidity, ascorbic acid and carotenoids) of seven maturation stages of tomato fruits were studied.

On the basis of the results obtained from the analysis of such quality parameters, we can indicate a new maturation diagrams to accurately determine the maturation stage for any fruit of tomato cv. Vemone.
