Resumo(s)
Consumption of cherry tomato fruits has been increasing due to the rising public demand for convenience and awareness of fruit's health benefits. Carotenoids, natural pigments synthesized by plants and microorganisms but not by animals, contribute to the different colours of tomato fruits and are recognized as playing an important role in several biological functions. In this work, we studied some carotenoid contents (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, lycopene and beta-carotene) of five cherry tomato cultivars (red cherry chucha, red cherry, striped cherry, yellow cherry, and red cherry cacho).
