>Define: Food

Because sugar is technically food so plain water would work in this case.

For something like a tomato the issue with dissolving it is that how could you get a massive object to be dispersed into the liquid's molecules in such a way that it remains a tomato when you took it out? If you could break apart all the cells and just have carbohydrates, proteins and fats floating around, then technically you have succeeded, but what you'd have is a nutrient paste that can't be turned back into a tomato.

I'm trying to calculate the iodine value of a food which requires even dispersion of an iodine solution through a solution to be evaluated, a mushy nutrient paste would make it hard to mix the iodine and perform the titration with sodium thiosulfate

realistically the pulp/cellulose doesn't need to be included, a tomato juice solution would just as well, but there's both fat and water soluble compounds in food which makes choosing a solvent confusing

Normal people dissolve there tomatoes, if they want for example tomato paste, in boiling hydroxide. This process is also called cocking.
