Excerpt from Judging Quality of Tomatoes for Processing by Objective Color Evaluation: With Subjective Estimation of Defects
Another shortcoming in the grading system is the abrupt change in prices made nec essary by only three separations for color. This often results in an inequitable return to the grower. It has been deemed impractical, if not impossible, for the inspector to make additional subdivisions on the basis of color.
Sampling is another major problem in the application of the grading system for fresh tomatoes for processing. Procedure calls for a minimum sample of 3 hampers bushel) from an average load of 50 to 450 hampers. The conclusion that such a sample is representative is hardly valid. Selections at random are also unlikely, for in practice, hampers are usually selected from the uppermost portions of a load.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a new method for grading tomatoes objectively for color and defects, making payments for loads of tomatoes more equitable for both processors and growers. The author, a food technologist with the Agricultural Marketing Service of the US Department of Agriculture, conducted research that sought to address the limitations of the previous tomato grading system. The book provides a detailed description of the research methods, techniques, and statistical analysis used to evaluate the new tomato grading system. This method combines objective color measurement by use of photoelectric instruments, and subjective estimation of defects. In addition to summarizing the research, the book also discusses the historical context of tomato grading, explores the role of sampling in grading accuracy, and suggests how the new grading method could impact tomato juice manufacturers and producers of other blended products.
