THE TOMATO (Lycopersicon esculentum) is a New World plant, originally found in Peru and carried back to Spain from whence it quickly spread to Italy (pommidoro) and France, where it was known as the pomme d'amour and thought to have aphrodisiac properties (this is the first recorded confusion between the placebo effect and the tomato effectdescribed herein). By 1560, the tomato was becoming a s...

The aim of this study was to measure the gas permeability of edible films using a homemade experimental apparatus and to determine the respiration rate of tomatoes (L. esculentun var. Cerasiforme) without (NC) and with (CC) edible coating at different temperatures. Permeability was determined using an experimental device according to the ASTM D1434 method and the apparatus was validated using p...

A sustained increase in Salmonella enterica serovar Virchow notifications in South Eastern Australia between September 1997 and May 1998 instigated a case-control study and environmental investigations. Cases were defined as having locally acquired culture-confirmed S. Virchow phage-type 8 infection and diarrhoeal disease. Matched controls were selected by progressive digit dialling based on ca...

ROM the progeny of crosses between normal canning tomatoes, LycoperF sicon esculentum Mill., and the wild species L. hirsutum Humb. and Bonpl., LINCOLN et al. (1943) and KOHLER et al. (1947) isolated a new tomato type which was distinguished from normal tomatoes by producing orange fruits in which most of the carotene produced was beta-carotene. From the study of a cross between the red canning...

The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the spread of Salmonella Enteritidis to different cutting boards (wood, triclosan-treated plastic, glass, and stainless steel) from contaminated poultry skin (5 log CFU/g) and then to tomatoes and to analyze the effect of different protocols used to clean these surfaces to control contamination. The following procedures were simulated: (1) no...

background; fluoride is an essential nutrient for the human body. the major routes of fluoride intake include food and drinking water, though the absorption of fluoride from food is much easier. the aim of this study was to evaluate the amount of fluoride in the soil and tomato and onion crops on farms of zanjan. methods; three farms of each crop (tomato and onion) were selected randomly. each ...

In the present study, we utilised an in vitro digestion procedure to deliver molecules contained in tomatoes to cultured cells and to analyse potential mechanisms underlying the antitumoural effects of tomatoes reported in the literature. Ripe tomatoes underwent in vitro simulated digestion and the aqueous fraction obtained was delivered to HT-29 and HCT-116 colon adenocarcinoma cells. The amou...

Tomatoes are an important part of the diet. Lycopene, the predominant carotenoid in tomatoes, is hypothesised to mainly mediate the health benefits of tomato products. Anticancer activity of tomato products and lycopene has been suggested by numerous studies. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of ingestion of three different tomato-based foodstuffs on plasma contents of ...
