Summary: | Mould amount is one of the most important quality factors for tomato and tomato products. Determination of the amount of mould in tomato and tomato products carry out by the method of HMC (Howard mould count). It is important to determine the amount of mould of the final product by the way of hygienic production. Maximum level of mould amount range between 40-60 % (positive area) depending on the standards of different countries. In recent years, the level of ergosterol started to use a quality factor instead of mould amount in tomato products. |
