Tomato Industry Interest in Measuring Lycopene: How Spectrophotometers Can Help

Posted on Dec 19, 2025 by HunterLab

Lycopene is found in tomato products. It is the natural chemical that gives tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables their distinctive red color. The outer skin of the tomato contains the highest concentration of lycopene, though the exact amount depends on the tomato species, where it was grown, and its ripeness.

Traditionally, lycopene has been extracted from tomato skin (also called tomato pomace) or paste/purée and a correlation to lycopene concentration developed based on HLPC or spectrophotometric transmission measurements using a 10 mm path length cell.

Today, the tomato industry is interested in measuring lycopene. Customers know its health benefits, and measuring lycopene can communicate the advantages of tomato-containing products. Fortunately, today's spectrophotometers can help producers accurately quantify the color of tomatoes and tomato products, providing important information about lycopene content.

Can the color of Fresh Spaghetti Sauce be measured with Tomato Scores?

Posted on Dec 19, 2025 by HunterLab

PREGUNTAS FRECUENTES: "Tenemos otra pregunta. Nuestra norma actual para la salsa de espagueti fresca es utilizar el ajuste TK.

Parece como si el producto fuera más bien naranja en comparación con nuestro producto de tomate triturado que se ejecuta en el ajuste TS resultando en un color más bajo.

¿Cuál cree que es el ajuste adecuado para la salsa Spaghetti?

La otra cosa que noté es que el registro de calibración no tiene un resultado TK documentado".

Can the color of Fresh Spaghetti Sauce be measured with Tomato Scores?

FAQ: "Wir haben eine weitere Frage. Unser derzeitiger Standard für frische Spaghetti-Sauce ist die Einstellung TK.

Es scheint, als ob das Produkt eher orange ist, verglichen mit unserem Produkt aus zerkleinerten Tomaten, das auf der TS-Einstellung betrieben wird, was zu einer geringeren Farbe führt.

Was ist Ihrer Meinung nach die richtige Einstellung für Spaghetti-Soße?

Außerdem ist mir aufgefallen, dass im Kalibrierungsdatensatz kein TK-Ergebnis dokumentiert ist."
