Table 1 Shows the Phyto-chemical composition of raw
and thermally processed tomato [Var.UC82B] samples. The
lycopene content of the tomato pulp significantly increased
[P < 0.05] when boiled or fried. The available lycopene
content progressively increased as boiling or frying period
was increased from 2 to 30 min. Figure 1 exhibits the
lycopene content of both boiled and fried tomato samples.
