in Fig. 4. The incubation with 25% ethanol or 4.5% acetate was estimated
to induce about 85% reduction of a-tomatine in the
untreated tomatoes when the concentration of a-tomatine in the
processed tomatoes was calculated on the basis of the dose–response
curve as shown in Fig. 1. According to the above calculation,
the incubation with 10% sugar solution or the heat treatment
