Editors Preedy (nutritional biochemistry, King's College, UK) and Watson (health promotion services, U. of Arizona) and their collection of international experts make the most of this humble fruit, its cellular and metabolic effects, and methods of analyzing its components. Although primarily considered for its culinary applications, in fact the tomato and related products contain a considerable number of anti-oxidants and bioactive compounds. As they reveal these important characteristics in these 29 articles the experts examine field trials of genetically modified tomatoes, post-harvest ripening, flavor, antioxidant activity, carotenoids, lectin, the role of purple acid phosphatases, the nutritional characterization of juices, safe control of insects spider mites control, DNA strand breaks, components as modulators of prostate carcinogenesis and other glandular diseases, transgenic tomato products, gene expression, vitamins and micronutrients, and analysis of tomato seeds in forensic evidence.
