Abstract
Acetaldehyde and alcohol were found in all tomato fruits under all conditions of treatment. Large fruits contained more alcohol than small fruits. The content of the above substances was greater in fruits deprived of oxygen than in those taken from the vines. Traces of methyl alcohol were found in several expts. Formic and acetic acids and formaldehyde were each found in only 1 expt.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
