Flavonoids
also have a wide range of other potential benefits (Hollman et al., 1996; Nijveldt et al., 2001).
Tomato and tomato products are a rich source of flavonols and Stewart et al.
(2000) have shown
that tomato flavonols were able to withstand industrial processing methods, being detected in a
variety of tomato-based products. Flavonol contents have been found to vary according to fruit
variety, size, and country of origin, with cherry tomatoes originating from warm, sunny climates
containing the highest concentrations. Stewart et al. (2000) also found that 98% of the flavonols
detected in tomatoes were found to occur in the skin. So it might be expected that small sized
tomatoes will contain higher levels when compared to larger tomatoes. Light has also been shown
to be one of the major environmental controls on the synthesis of flavonols (Parr and Bolwell,
2000).
