Abstract

In  this  work  we  investigated  the  effect  of  variety  and  processing  on  the  content  of  carotenoids  and  lycopene  in  fruits  and Tomato  juice  from  the  fruit  after  heat  treatment.  The  experiment  included  four  varieties  are edible  tomato  for  industrial processing (Báb, Žiara PK, Šampion and Roti PK). The concentration of total carotenoids and lycopene were determined spectrophotometrically  on  UV-VIS  spectrophotometer  Jenway  at  a  wavelength  of  445  and  472  nm.  The  highest  average content  of  carotenoids  in  fruits  were  recorded  at  a  variety  Roti  PK  (7.0  mg/100 g-1)  and  lowest  in  variety  Báb (4.8 mg/100 g-1). Heat treatment had a statistically significant positive effect on the lycopene content, changes in carotenoid content were not significant. Effect of genotype (variety) for the content of the endpoint was significantly important.
