# Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1764/86 of 27 May 1986 laying down minimum quality requirements for products processed from tomatoes under the production aid scheme, Division 1: Principle

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Usually between 40 and 60 % of the dry weight content in tomato derivatives consists of reducing sugars, mostly glucose and fructose in roughly equal proportions. The natural sucrose content of tomatoes is negligible. The natural sugar content is determined by the Lane and Eynon method without inversion. The Lane and Eynon method uses Fehling's solution.
