Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed how the levels of lycopene, a beneficial compound in tomatoes, vary between different tomato cultivars under various conditions of growth and storage.
- Lycopene accumulates more quickly and in greater amounts in processing tomatoes compared to fresh market tomatoes, with significant retention of this compound during storage.
- The findings highlight the potential for using a portable sensor to non-destructively assess lycopene levels in tomatoes, which can aid producers focusing on the health and nutraceutical markets.
