Quantitative analysis by HPLC of adenosine in ripe tomato fruits and their processing by-products. (a) Adenosine content expressed in mg adenosine/mg dried extract and (b) correlation coefficient and related significance between adenosine content and platelet inhibition (, ). Total and aqueous extracts are obtained from tomato pulp. All the analyses were repeated at least twice starting from independent dried extracts.
