Abstract

Tomato is a highly consumed food in the world because of its richness in nutrients especially carotenoids, vitamins and total phenolic. It has been proven very beneficial for the body. This study aimed to evaluate the composition of β-carotene, lycopene and total phenolic of 45 tomatoes varieties from experimental station in Burkina Faso. The content of β-carotene and lycopene was determined by HPLC while the total phenolic contents were analyzed by spectrophotometry. The lycopene content and the β-carotene content of the 45 varieties ranged from 2.41 ± 0.00 (variety 27T4) to 83.51 ± 0.22 (BT1 variety) mg /100 g of dry matter and 0.83 ± 0.00 (variety 27T4) to 26.80 ± 0.08 (Variety BT1) mg / 100 g of dry matter respectively. The total phenolic contents were between 502.84 ± 47.46 (variety 4T1) to 1181.08 ± 182. 97 (variety 25T2) mg GAG /100 g of dry matter. The 45 varieties of tomato analyzed are potential sources of lycopene, β-carotene and total phenolic. Some of the varieties can be promoted for cultivation at national level due to their high content in these three elements.
