To fulfil the growing demands of the industry the producers must use the most suitable genotypes for the given conditions. In the experiment six genotypes (‘Heinz 1015 F 1 ‘,‘Heinz 9478 F 1 ‘,‘Kecskeméti 407‘,‘NUN254 F 1 ‘,‘Prestomech F 1 ‘ and ‘Rustico F 1 ‘) were evaluated for different quality parameters: fruit shape index (length/diameter), firmness (g cm -2 ), force needed to tear the skin (kg -1 ) and consistency of tomato puree (g*sec). According to the results, the ‘Heinz 1015 F 1 ‘ and ‘Heinz 9478 F 1 ‘ were the most suitable genotypes for industrial processing in the mean of fruit quality. Strong positive correlation between consistency of juice and fruit shape index (r=0.891) and firmness of berry (r=0.882) was confirmed. The results have proved the necessity of these quality parameter measurements, which are important for the evaluation of raw material.application/pdfindustrial tomatotomato genotypesrheological evaluationtomato juicefolyóiratcikkOpen AccessInternational Journal of Horticultural Sciencehttps://doi.org/10.31421/IJHS/26/2020/7922International Journal of Horticultural Science26Int. j. hortic. sci.2676-931X
