| Flavour and firmness are important quality criteria for tomatoes [1]. Tomato flavour is mainly attributed to the content of sugar and acid and volatile compounds. Many factors determine tomato flavour e.g. cultivar, growing system, maturity, harvest time and post-harvest treatments [1, 2]. In Denmark, organic tomatoes are grown directly in the soil. It is difficult, however, to provide enough organic manure, to prevent leaching out of nutrients and to control soil-born diseases in a soil system. Recently, Sørensen and Thorup-Kristensen [3] reported results on two alternative systems in which plants were grown in compost and nutrients and water was re-circulated. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of growing system (open, confined and... |

| In the project “Organic food and health – a multigeneration animal experiment” that was carried out from 2001-2004 as a part of the Danish Research Centre for Organic Farming II programme, focus was on the health beneficial effect of vegetable food as affected by different cultivation systems, including organic and conventional cultivation systems. Vegetable based feed compositions produced from vegetables that were harvested from the different cultivation systems were tested in animal experiments in which the health status of rats was evaluated. In order to evaluate the food quality of vegetables as affected by the cultivation system, a sensory analysis was carried out on selected vegetables (carrot, pea and kale) that were cultivated in three different... |
