Abstract: The processing parameters of concentrated tomato juice by orthogonal experiments including soluble solid content, sterilized time, and preservative quantity were studied. The result showed that: additing 0.7% NaCl was helpful for improving the ratio of expressing juice.The optimum processing conditions were: vacuum pressure 87~93kPa at 50℃; soluble solid content 23%, sterilized time 10min and no-preservative needed. The lycopene content was 97.20g/100g and VC 5.85mg/100g.

Key words: Concentrate tomato juice, lycopene, stability
