“…Some of the most important oxylipin volatiles in fiesh tomatoes are hexanal, cis-3-hexenal, trans-Zhexenal, cis3-hexeno1, hexanol, cis-3-pentanol, pentanal, cis-and-trans-pentenal, l-penten-3-one, l-penten-3-01, and trans-2-heptenal (Buttery and Ling 1993). While total protein decreased as maturity proceeded, several enzyme systems, including ADH, are formed to facilitate a specific change in the tomato fruit (Stein 1983). Changes in enzyme activity during ripening have been characterized for LOX (Biacs and Daood 1987;Riley et al 1996), HPL (Riley et al 1996), and ADH (Chase et al 1982).…”
