Tomato - characteristics, processing and future trends in automation for smallholder processing industry: a short review

Tomato is one of a globally important warm-season vegetable crop. Overall, the whole fruit is edible. It contains sorbitol, phenylalanine, putrescine and vitamins such as B1, B2, and B3. Tomato also contains carotenoids such as α‐carotene, β‐carotene, lycopene, and xanthophylls. In addition, they al...
