Chemical compound
Tomatine (sometimes called tomatin or lycopersicin) is a glycoalkaloid, found in the stems and leaves of tomato plants, and in the fruits at much lower concentrations. Chemically pure tomatine is a white crystalline solid at standard temperature and pressure.[1][5]
Tomatine is sometimes confused with the glycoalkaloid solanine.[6]
