Fruit quality of 29 tomato accesses from the Vegetable Germplasm Bank of the Universidade Federal de Viçosa and three commercial cultivars, Santa Clara, Débora Plus and Fanny were evaluated for the characteristics soluble solids (SS), acidity (AT), pH and SS/AT ratio (flavor fruits indicator). The accesses showed significant variation for the evaluated characteristics, except for the pH. The accesses BGH-700, BGH-2000, BGH-2008, BGH-2013, BGH-2014 and BGH-2017 stood out for the SS content, which were higher than 4.2 ºBrix and the SS content of the commercial cultivars. Acidity of the accesses BGH-2013, BGH-2019, BGH-2020 and BGH-2033 was higher, above 0.57%. The commercial cultivars were classified into the group with the lowest acidity, with values under 0.46%. The accesses BGH-700, BGH-2000, BGH-2008 and the commercial cultivar Débora Plus stood out for the SS/AT ratio, with values of 11.1, 11.9 and 10.9, and 10.0, respectively.
