Literature review and critical analysis
The aim of this Concerted Action is to examine the scientific literature on antioxidant
content and their degradation. Several antioxidants are present in tomatoes (carotenoids,
vitamin C, polyphenols, vitamin E), although, thanks to its specificity, lycopene has been the
main centre of attention. The HA-RCPL will be carried out with a critical examination of
what is reported in the scientific literature on the matter.

Comments and Topics
It can be assumed that there is no degradation or oxidation of lycopene if normal
conditions of handling and transport are used. In the case of fruit crushing, there is obviously
a loss of tomatoes and a quantitative loss of lycopene. All other causes of lycopene reduction
are precluded if the preventive measures indicated are respected.
