BACKGROUND: Human studies have demonstrated that processing of tomato can greatly increase lycopene bioavailability. However, the difference between processing methods is not widely investigated. In the current study different thermal treatments of tomato were evaluated with regard to their impact o

## Abstract Tomatoes may have a great impact in the prevention of some types of cancer. This protective effect has been attributed to lycopene. The biosynthesis of lycopene is affected by environmental conditions. If the temperature of the fruits exceeds 30 °C, the synthesis of lycopene is inhibite
Topical delivery of lycopene is a convenient way to supplement cutaneous levels of antioxidants. In this study, lycopene was incorporated (0.05%, w/w) in two microemulsions containing BRIJ-propylene glycol (2:1, w/w, surfactant blend) but different oil phases: mono/diglycerides of capric and capryli
