Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) 

 in Tomatoes and Tomato Products 



By Walter A. Maclinn and Carl R. Fellers 



The tomato is one of the richest and most widely used sources of vitamin C. 

 Yet much remains to be learned of the influence of inherited and external factors 

 on its vitamin content. This study was undertaken in the hope of filling in 

 some of these gaps in our knowledge.
