Lycopene, an efficient antioxidant and singlet oxygen quencher, is mainly delivered within the human diet out of tomatoes and tomato products. Processing liberates this carotenoid from complexes with proteins and thus makes it more bioavailable. Rosehip, a wild fruit which is used more often recently to produce mark, jams and juices, showed remarkable contents of lycopene (12.9-35.2 mg/100 g) with an unexpected isomer pattern.
