TL;DR: The rise in popularity of the tomato during the 20th century to become the world's fourth most significant fruit, making an important contribution to human nutrition.
Abstract: It is proposed to describe briefly the rise in popularity of the tomato during the 20th century to become the world's fourth most significant fruit, making an important contribution to human nutrition. The grading standards for fruit used in various major tomato-producing countries will be outlined. A major part of the review will be devoted to describing changes in composition during the maturation, ripening, preservation, and storage of good quality tomatoes especially as regards carbohydrates, organic and amino acids, proteins, steroids, pigments, minerals, and the lipids, volatiles, and other minor constituents. A range within which composition should normally fall will be given. Additionally, the effects on composition of environment, cultivar, nutrition, and physiological disorders inter alia will be described. How new growing methods and genetic manipulation could influence the tomato of the future will also be considered.

TL;DR: A large number of both normally occurring and foreign compounds of an aromatic nature are hydroxylated in the animal body to yield products with phenolic properties, the pathways by which these products are produced are poorly understood, but several may be postulated.

TL;DR: It is shown that, in uremia, CML and pentosidine production is determined both by an increased oxidative stress and the availability of precursors such as oxiAA, which suggests that AGE, that is, C ML andpentosidine, production is accelerated under oxidative stress, even in the absence of glucose.
