Tomato products are increasing in popularity due to the discovery that lycopene, the major carotenoid pigment responsible for the red colour in tomatoes, watermelon, pink grapefruit, some papaya cultivars and other fruits, has anti-carcinogenic properties. Curiously, the bioavailability of lycopene is greater in processed/heated tomato products than in fresh items. Unlike B-carotene and other closely related carotenoids, lycopene has no pro-vitamin A activity.
