Tomatoes redness

Other examples are the following [6, 133], The compound Ag2ReCl6 is orange whereas salts of ReClg are pale green [134], This indicates Ag(I)-Re(IV) MMCT. In the same way Tl20sBrg is black, although OsBr is tomato-red... 

Presents a table (Table 7) of chloropyll, carotenoid, and vitamin E levels (in pg/g dw) of green leaf tissue, vegetables, green and red fruits (tomato, red pepper), and nongreen plant foods (carrots, cauliflower). 

To a solution of 16.3 g 2,5-dimethoxy-3,4-dimethylbenzaldehyde in 50 mL nitromethane there was added 3.0 g anhydrous ammonium acetate, and the mixture was heated on the steam bath overnight. There was then added an equal volume of MeOH, and with cooling there was obtained a fine crop of yellow crystals. These were removed by filtration, washed with MeOH, and air dried to provide 4.4 g of 2,5-dimethoxy-3,4-dimethy 1-6-nitrostyrene with a mp of 120-121 °C which was not improved by recrystallization from MeOH (50 mL/g). The mother liquors of the above filtration were diluted with H20 to the point of per-manent turbidity, then set aside in a cold box. There wasachunky, granular, tomato-red crystal deposited which weighed 2.5 g when dry. It had a mp of 118-119.5 °C, which was undepressed in mixed mp with the yellow sample. Both forms had identical NMR spectra (2.20, 2.25 CH, 3.72, 3.84 OCH, 6.80 ArH 7.76, 8.28 CH=CH, with 14 cycle splitting), infrared spectra, ultra violet spectra (max. 324 nm with shoulder at 366 nm in EtOH, two peaks at 309 and 355 nm in hexane), and microanalyses. Anal. (C HlsN04) C,H,N. 

Finally, an exhaustive study of some of the variables affecting the measurement of tomato paste colour has been carried out as part of the COST 90 programme by Brimelow (1987). The effects of such factors as paste dilution, test duration, instrument aperture size and illumination area, sample temperature, standardisation hitching-post tile temperature, and the presence or absence of extraneous light were all examined. A standard colour measurement procedure was advocated for this important food commodity. As a parallel effort in this work, a new European standard tomato red tile was specified by the COST 90 colour group participants, to act as a hitching post in the measurement of tomato pastes and purees. 

Fruits with a marked de novo biosynthesis of carotenoids, referred to as carotenogenic fraits (i.e., tomato, red pepper, orange, persimmon, etc.). 

Several fruits and vegetables are known to produce tetraterpenic chromo-phores called carotenes. Red fruits and vegetables such as tomato, red pepper, red carrot, apricot, papaya, pink guava, and watermelon contain lycopene, a powerful quencher of oxygen singlet at cellular levels, known for its antioxidant potential and chemopreventive capacity against prostate cancer, atherosclerosis, and coronary heart disease [29,30]. 

This vegetable, commonly known as Irish or white potato, is grown around the world and ranks after the major grains (wheat, rice, and corn) in importance as a food. It is a member of the nightshade family of plants (Solanaceae), which includes the tomato, red pepper, tobacco plant, and eggplant. However, it is not related to the sweet potato or the yam. The scientific name Solanum is derived from the Latin word solamen, which means soothing. 

The absence of tomatoes, red peppers, and red meat. As with regular chili, there are as many styles as you can dream up, but most white chilis include chicken or other poultry, green chiles, and white beans, and some are thickened with masa or cornmeal.
