In this experiment, the changes in the components of carbohydrate and their enzyme activities were investigated to study the conversion of sugars in tomato under sub-atmospheric pressure storage .The results obtained are as follows: The soluble sugars in tomato fruits were, for the most part, fructose and glucose together with small quantity of sucrose and maltose. The content of fructose increased throughout the storage, while that of glucose increased at an early stage but decreased at the latter part, and that of sucrose decreased drastically with progress of storage. The activity of ${alpha}-amylase$ and invertase playing important roles in conversion of sugars showed a rapid increase at onset of respiration climacteric, resulting that the content of total soluble sugar showed a tendency to decrease strikingly, whereas those of starch and sucrose to decrease rapidly. Thus, the effect of temperature was more pronounced than that of pressure.
