Abstract
Lycopene is a major carotenoid in human blood and tissues.
In contrast to beta-carotene it exhibits no provitamin A activity.
The most important dietary sources of lycopene for the human are tomatoes and tomato products.
Dietary lycopene is absorbed and distributed in the human organism.
Its bioavailability depends on various factors such as food processing or coingestion of fat.
Differences in lycopene bioavailability are observed when fresh tomatoes vs. tomato paste are used as a source, with higher lycopene levels in chylomicrons after consumption of tomato paste.
