• Although this review draws heavily on work with β-carotene, this is because as yet
there is little work on lycopene. However, the methods are applicable to the carotenoids in
general and are currently being used to measure lycopene bioavailability from raw and
processed tomatoes (Modem, FAIR CT97-3100)
• Future studies will have to look at the isomerisation and metabolism of carotenoids to
get further insight in possible protection mechanisms. As recently observed with regard to the
antioxidant activity, there are differences between the isomers.
