Popis: International audience; Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most widely grown and consumed vegetables in many countries, including Vietnam. Tomato is a nutritious food that enhances the body's resistance. This paper presents research results on some physiological indicator (pigments content), and biochemical indicators (reducing sugar content, starch, total organic acid, vitamin C, pectin, tannin, α-amylase enzyme, catalase enzyme, peroxidase enzyme) of tomatoes during growth and ripening cultivated in Vietnam, thereby determining the physiological ripening time of the fruit (the most appropriate time for fruit harvest). The results showed that significant changes occurred in pigments content, reducing sugar content, starch, total organic acid, vitamin C, pectin, tannin, α-amylase enzyme, catalase enzyme, peroxidase enzyme of tomatoes from formation to fruit ripening. Through the research process, we found that tomatoes achieve the best quality to harvest when fruits are 46 days old. The results of this study also provide additional and useful information for fresh consumption and processing as well as the use of tomatoes.
