An increase in de-tinning activity, and hence a decrease in shelf life, has occurred in South African tomato paste during recent years.Corrosion rate is shown to be related to the variety of tomato used in the manufacture of paste and to its maturity.Of the changes in composition associated with these factors, total waterinsoluble solids appear to be particularly associated with variations in corrosion rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
