Analysis of Nutrients and Volatile Compounds in Cherry Tomatoes Stored at Different Temperatures

Monitoring of the quality change of cherry tomatoes during storage is very important for the quality control of cherry tomatoes. In this study, the soluble solids content (SSC), reducing sugars (RSs), titratable acids (TAs), ascorbic acid (AA) and lycopene of cherry tomatoes during storage at 0, 4,...

description Monitoring of the quality change of cherry tomatoes during storage is very important for the quality control of cherry tomatoes. In this study, the soluble solids content (SSC), reducing sugars (RSs), titratable acids (TAs), ascorbic acid (AA) and lycopene of cherry tomatoes during storage at 0, 4, 10 or 25 °C were measured, and the kinetic models were established. The results showed that the zero-order reaction combined with the Arrhenius kinetic model could be used for the prediction of changes in SS, RS and AA content. The first-order reaction combined with the Arrhenius kinetic model could be used for the prediction of changes in the TA and lycopene content. The volatile compounds of cherry tomatoes were simultaneously determined by the gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and electronic nose (E-nose). A total of 104 volatile compounds were identified by GC–MS. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) showed that there were 13 different metabolites among cherry tomatoes with different freshness. The accuracies of Fisher’s models based on E-nose for discriminating freshness of cherry tomatoes stored at 0, 4, 10 and 25 °C were 96%, 100%, 92% and 90%, respectively. This study provides a theoretical basis for the quality control of cherry tomatoes during storage.
