The aim was to evaluate the effect of ripening on the commercial quality, mineral composition, bioactive compounds, and antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of five differently coloured cherry tomato accessions. The bioactive compounds were quantified using rapid-resolution liquid chromatography, and antioxidant activity was measured by microplate spectrophotometry. The results showed significant differences among accessions and ripeness stages. Thus, the highest concentrations were 5263.7 mg\/100 g DW for potassium, 469.3 mg\/100 g DW for vitamin C, and 5866.5 mg\/100 g DW for total organic acids, 46.2 mg\/100 g DW for anthocyanins, 1073.7 mg\/100 g DW for total carotenoids, 1447.7 mg\/100 g DW for total phenolic compound, and 4.7 mmol TE\/100 g DW for DPPH antioxidant activity. The crude ethanolic extracts showed moderate inhibitory effects against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Streptococcus mutans, with minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 1.95 to 83.96 mg\/mL. However, no activity was observed against Candida albicans or Candida tropicalis. Taken together, these results demonstrate the high nutritional and functional potential of cherry tomatoes grown in Ecuador.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods15173083","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]],"date-time":"2026-09-01T03:19:26Z","timestamp":1788232766000},"page":"3083","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Profile of the Bioactive Compounds, Minerals, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Properties of Coloured Cherry Tomatoes at Different Stages of Ripeness"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4495-3500","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena","family":"Coyago-Cruz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Carrera de Ingenier\u00eda en Biotecnolog\u00eda, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica Salesiana, Sede Quito, Campus El Gir\u00f3n, Quito 170143, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5903-6735","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriela","family":"M\u00e9ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carrera de Ingenier\u00eda en Biotecnolog\u00eda, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica Salesiana, Sede Quito, Campus El Gir\u00f3n, Quito 170143, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-1916-3910","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Josselyn","family":"Tenelema","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carrera de Ingenier\u00eda en Biotecnolog\u00eda, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica Salesiana, Sede Quito, Campus El Gir\u00f3n, Quito 170143, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-1807-0715","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Micaela","family":"Benalc\u00e1zar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carrera de Ingenier\u00eda en Biotecnolog\u00eda, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica Salesiana, Sede Quito, Campus El Gir\u00f3n, Quito 170143, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7620-9140","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge","family":"Heredia-Moya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica (CENBIO), Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud Eugenio Espejo, Universidad UTE, Quito 170527, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Woo, M., Hwan, J., Eun, C., Ho, S., Min, S., Ryul, H., Su, D., Tilahun, S., and Soon, C.
