Özet
This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the phytochemical profiles of eight tomato cultivars differing in fruit color and size. The analysis encompassed the determination of mineral composition, hormone levels, organic acids, amino acids, sugars, lycopene, vitamin C, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity. The findings demonstrated that fruit color and size significantly influence the nutritional and phytochemical quality of tomato fruits. Red-colored and small-fruited cultivars, particularly Idolini and Confetto, exhibited higher levels of lycopene, vitamin C, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity. In contrast, yellow and orange-colored cultivars such as Maggino and Operino displayed lower acidity and higher sweetness. The large-fruited cultivar Siranzo showed lower levels of minerals and phytochemicals but offered a milder and sweeter flavor profile. Red cultivars …
