CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
INTRODUCTION:
Tomato fruits are any fruit of the numerous cultivated varieties of Solanum Lycopersicum (formerly Lycopersicon Esculentum), a plant of the nightshade family (Solanaceae); this fruit vary in diameter from 1.5 to 7.5 cm. or more and are usually red, scarlet, or yellow; they vary in shape from almost spherical through oval and elongated to pear-shaped. The fruit is a soft, succulent berry, containing two to many cells of small seeds surrounded by jellylike pulp. Most of the tomato’s vitamin C is found in this pulp. The tomato is used in salads, served as a cooked vegetable, used as an ingredient of various prepared dishes, and pickled. Callus is skin disease, horny thickening of the skin on the foot or toes, produced by repeated friction or pressure. Extensive proliferation of the stratum corneum, the horny layer of the epidermis results in a conical callus with its broad end on the surface and its point directed inward; the dense centre of this cone presses on sensory nerves, causing pain when direct pressure is applied. The corn’s surface is usually hard and shiny, but callus between the toes may be soft and soggy from perspiration. Hoping to find a solution, the researcher did a study on how to abolish these calluses in an efficient and convenient way using tomato fruits (Lycopersicon Esculentum) as a callus remover. It is inexpensive and easy to find so it is economical. Based on concept, the researcher believes that this study will benefit people; especially the less privileged. The researcher also believes that this study hopefully contribute to the improvement of humanity.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study focuses on the efficacy or effectiveness of tomato fruits as a callus remover.
