Abstract
Five compounds having a striking effect on the color of Marsh seedless grapefruit are reported. The compounds, namely [β-(diethylamino)-ethoxy]-benzene, [γ-(diethylamino)-propoxy]-benzene, [δ-(diethylamino)-butoxy]-benzene, 4-[β-(diethylamino)-ethoxy]-benzaldehyde, and diethylaminoethyl anisolate caused a 5- to 12-fold increase in the carotene content. Lycopene, not normally accumulated, became the major pigment. The mode of action appears to be similar to that of CPTA.
