In South America, Brazil leads the production of tomatoes for processing, and this agricultural product is considered to be of great economic importance, both for its representativeness in planted area and the amount produced (Instituto Adolfo Lutz, 2008). Brazil is among the ten largest producers of processing tomato, with the highest production in the State of Goiás, and the Cerrado Region is responsible for 99% of production and processing. Furthermore, it is the most industrialized vegetable in the form of several by-products, such as juices, dehydrated fruit, extracts, ketchup and ready-made sauces (Mattietto et al., 2010; Stratakos & Delgado-Pando et al., 2016; Tomas et al., 2017).
