Determination of bioactive compounds as marker of cultivation techniques: conventional, organic and hydroponic cases

In the recent years, two culvaon techniques have been developed that differ from convenonal agriculture: hydroponic and organic. The hydroponic methods use several substrates like the stone wool or coconut fibers for substute the soil. Organic aim is to reduce the environmental impact (on water, land and air) of agricultural pracces. The aim of the present work is to evaluate the quality parameters of tomatoes coming from convenonal, organic and hydroponic culvaon. The parameters selected was total phenolic compounds, anoxidant capacity and biogenic amines.
