Abstract This article focused on the content of lycopene in fresh and dried tomatoes and tomato pomace, as well as in tomato paste at different harvest times (harvest 1 – August and harvest 2 – September). The lycopene content of tomatoes and tomato products was evaluated by using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that the highest content of lycopene was estimated in the tomato paste independent of the time of harvest (211.73 mg/100 g dm in August and 184.29 mg/100 g dm in September) and the lowest content in fresh pomace (20.45 and 16.11 mg/100 g dm in August and September, respectively). Good sources of lycopene are tomato by-products, in particularly dried tomato pomace (25.11 mg/100 g dm – harvest 1 and 19.30 mg/100 g dm – harvest 2). This study showed that tomato waste can be considered as a promising source of lycopene for the production of functional foods.

番茄和番茄制品中的番茄红素

摘要 本文重点研究了不同收获时期（收获期1-8月和收获期2-9月）的鲜番茄、干番茄和番茄渣以及番茄酱中番茄红素的含量。番茄和番茄制品的番茄红素含量通过高效液相色谱 (HPLC) 进行评估。结果表明，番茄酱中番茄红素的含量最高，与收获时间无关（8 月为 211.73 mg/100 g dm，9 月为 184.29 mg/100 g dm），而新鲜果渣中的含量最低（20.45 和8 月和 9 月分别为 16.11 mg/100 g dm2)。番茄红素的良好来源是番茄副产品，尤其是干番茄渣（25.11 mg/100 g dm – 收获 1 和 19.30 mg/100 g dm – 收获 2）。
