摘要

Recently, rapid methods have emerged as promising tools for assessing fresh crops. This research aimed to compare two sensory methods for the evaluation of the Acorazado tomato hybrid resistant to Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) cultivated under greenhouse and field conditions. Greenhouse and field settings were selected to plant the seedlings; tomatoes were harvested at 75–80% ripeness in both production systems. Generic descriptive analysis (GDA) was used to describe tomato hybrids from the greenhouse and a Rate All That Apply (RATA), for the tomato hybrids harvested in the field; physicochemical traits were evaluated in both cultivation forms. A sensory acceptance test was conducted for sensory characterization. A genotype × environment (G×E) interaction was identified in some physicochemical traits, such as total soluble solids (TSS), fructose, glucose, luminosity (L*), and the isomers of β-carotenes and lycopene. The descriptive sensory evaluation for greenhouse tomatoes showed that Ty-2 families 1 and 2 presented sourness and crunchiness and Ty-1/Ty-3 + Ty-2 family 2 − 1 and family 2–2 presented a gritty appearance, sweetness, and softness. In the field, the four hybrids showed significant differences from the commercial control regarding pulp hardness, color, and pasty texture. The drivers of liking were sweetness, softness, and skin color. Rapid sensory analysis methods (RATA) can be used instead of traditional methods (GDA) for produce such as tomatoes, which have very short ripening periods.
