|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Vitamin and mineral composition of ethephon treated tomatoes were studied, and the results are summarized as follow:
1. Ascorbic acid, carotene (total and beta-carotene), thiamin and riboflavin contents in tomato fruits were not adversely affected by ethephon treatment 1 week before harvest, and these results were consistent for two consecutive years. Riboflavin content of tomatoes in 1979 was significantly higher than that in 1978, and this difference could be due to enviornmental factors.
2. Mineral content in tomato fruits were not significantly affected by ethephon treatment 1 week before harvest. Calcium and manganese contents in treated tomatoes significantly varied from year to year.
