BACKGROUND: Tomatoes are a significant product of the Mediterranean region and a crucial component of the Mediterraneandiet. The formulation of dried tomato products enriched with proteins and bioactive compounds could be a strategic approachto promote adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Six different novel tomato products were analyzed using different proteinenrichment sources (pea proteins and leaf proteins) and drying technologies (hot-air dryer, microwave vacuum dryer, and con-ventional dryer). The novelty of this approach lies in combining product-specific criteria with global societal factors across theirlife cycles. Using 21 criteria and an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) survey of experts, the social sustainability score for eachproduct was determined through a multi-criteria assessment.RESULTS: The tomato product's life cycles have minimal regional impacts on unemployment, access to drinking water, sanita-tion, or excessive working hours. However, they affect discrimination, migrant labor, children's education, and access to hospi-tal beds significantly. The study identified nutritional quality as the top criterion, with the most sustainable design being atomato bar enriched with pea protein and processed using microwave vacuum drying.CONCLUSION: The study revealed that integrating sensory and nutrient compounds into social sustainability assessmentsimproves food sustainability and provides a practical roadmap for social life cycle assessments of food products. It emphasizedthe importance of considering global social issues when reformulating Mediterranean products to ensure long-term adherenceto the Mediterranean diet. Incorporating social factors into sustainability scores can also enhance the effectiveness of productinformation for conscious customers.
