Review of flavonoids and other phenolics from fruits of different tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cultivars

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Tomato, one of the most important vegetables worldwide, contains a range of flavonoids and phenolic acids in addition to lycopene, which are regarded as potentially useful compounds with respect to health benefits. Composition data in fresh tomatoes vary due to genetic and environmental factors and cultural practices. Breeding programs aim to produce tomatoes with enhanced levels of flavonoids and other phenolics.

“…In recent times, both the fresh and different processed tomato products have gained consumers' interest because of their potential antioxidant activity. Tomatoes are good sources of basic nutrients and different bioactive ingredients like carotenoids, lycopene and other flavonoids, phenolic acids and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) (Slimestad &Verheul, 2009;Veillet et al, 2009). Tomato is the best source of antioxidant vitamins like vitamins A, C and E, along with its huge amount of lycopene and polyphenols which are non-nutritive antioxidants (Chang et al, 2006).…”

“…Since the level of bioactive compounds can vary with genotype (Slimestad and Verheul, 2009) it was considered necessary to study the antioxidant compounds content in the tomato fruits of the tested cultivars in order to determine their health benefit attributes.…”
