In this study, some tomato (Lycopersicum solanum) fruits were harvested from bioremediated soil while some were bought from the market and agricultural farm. The microbial quality of the tomato fruits obtained from bioremediated soil was analyzed and compared using standard microbiological methods. The proximate composition, mineral and vitamin contents of the tomato fruits were also analyzed using standard analytical techniques. Results obtained from the microbial analyses revealed that tomato fruits from the market recorded the highest fungal loads when compared to tomatoes from other sources. Seven bacterial species isolated from the tomato fruits were Streptococcus sp., Bacillus sp., Enterobacter sp., Shigella sp., Klebsiella sp., Staphylococus aureus and Leuconostoc sp. while two fungal species isolated were Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus. The proximate composition of the tomato fruits revealed no significant difference (P < 0.05) in the fibre and ash contents of tomato fruits obtained from the market and bioremediated soil. Tomato fruits from bioremediated soil had significantly higher (P < 0.05) carbohydrate content when compared to the tomato fruits from other sources. The mineral composition of the tomato fruits obtained from bioremediated soil had the highest contents of sodium, potassium and phosphorus when compared with tomato fruits from other sources. There was no significant difference (P < 0.05) in the vitamin C content of all the tomato fruits that were analyzed. Conclusively, significant improvement in the nutrient availability of tomato fruits obtained from bioremediated soil observed in this study signifies that the concentration of organic manure improved the nutrient quality of the soil which in turns increased the nutrient contents of the tomato fruit cultivated on bioremediated soil.
