All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The common tomato of our garden belongs to the natural order Solanaceae and the genus Lycopersicum. The name from lykos, a wolf, and persica a peach, is given to it because of the supposed aphrodisiacal qualities, and the beauty of the fruit. By culture and use it is a vegetable, botanically it is a fruit and among the fruits, it is a berry being indehiscent, pulpy, with one or more seeds that are not stones.

Thermal Degradation Of Pigments And Relative Biochemical Changes In Cherries And Apricots, K. B. Dalal
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The extent and nature of biochemical changes that take place in canned fruits during storage temperatures above freezing have been reviewed and discussed by Pederson, et al. (1947). These changes include loss in nutritive value, e.g. ascorbic acid, thiamine (Brenner, et al., 1948) and deterioration of color (Tressler, et al., 1955). Bauernfeind (1953) reported that canned peaches, apricots, and sweet cherries, after a few months of storage at 70°F, frequently undergo changes such as destruction of anthocyanin and carotenoid pigments with the subsequent formation of brown colored compounds. Darkening of fruit-color eventually results in their unacceptability at …
