Scientists from Cornell University have discovered that Tomato Juice has super anti-microbial properties that can kill Salmonella Typhi, the bacteria responsible for Typhoid fever. The researchers identified two antimicrobial peptides in tomato juice that impair the bacterial membrane, eliminating the pathogens. This finding may help explain why there have been no instances of Salmonella contamination involving tomatoes or tomato juice since February 2018. The researchers hope that this discovery will encourage the public to consume more tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables.
