Background And Objective:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of raw and processed tomato consumption on plasma lycopene concentration in healthy volunteers. A cross-over dietary intervention study was employed.
Patients And Methods:
Fifteen healthy subjects were included in the study. Plasma lycopene concentration was assayed by HPLC.
Results:
Raw crushed tomato consumption did not significantly influence plasma lycopene concentration. Consumption of raw crushed tomato with olive oil and cooked tomatoes with olive oil, significantly increased blood lycopene levels.
