Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of chemical preservatives and storage conditions on tomato pulp. Tomato pulps were prepared by using various concentrations of sodium benzoate (0.05 and 0.1%) and potassium metabi-sulphate (0.05 and 0.1%). The were also stored at 25°C, 4°C and -10°C and analyzed lycopene, beta-carotene, ascorbic acid, acidity and total soluble solid (TSS). Results show that acidity was increased whereas lycopene, beta-carotene, TSS and ascorbic acid were decreased during storage period. These changes were more pronounced at 25°C than at 4°C and -10°C. Pulps treated with higher concentration of sodium benzoate were found minimal changes of chemical constituents at lower temperature as to higher temperature. The results revealed that higher concentration of sodium benzoate and storage at -10°C might be a better way for long term preservation of tomato pulp.
