Opti'Tom aims to develop and confirm, at pilot and industrial scale, stoichiokinetic models describing changes in micronutrients contents in tomato-based products during processing. Two kinds of processes were studied such as production of tomato paste from fresh tomatoes and sauces from tomato paste. Several pilot trials were conducted and the data (amounts of microconstituents, schedules of the processes) were exploited to develop a software in order to optimize the current manufacturing processes.
