Tomato

ByОлена Коновалова
TOMATOES
      Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) possess a highly diverse biochemical profile.
      They exhibit a significant vitamin and carotenoid concentration, being particularly notable for their total carotenoid content. This includes the antineoplastic carotenoid lycopene (51.5% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g), beta-carotene (13.0%), and ascorbic acid (28.0%). Tomatoes are also exceptionally rich in various mineral elements: boron (164.3% DV per 100 g), rubidium (153.0%), beryllium (120.0%), cobalt (60.0%), germanium (33.0%), lithium (29.0%), silicon (20.0%), potassium (13.0%), copper (11.0%), molybdenum (10.0%), and chromium (10.0%); they also contain appreciable levels of barium (8.0%).
      Tomatoes are further characterized by a substantial concentration of total phytosterols (12.7% DV) and glucose (16.0%). The carbohydrate fraction includes sucrose (0.7 g per 100 g) and starch (0.3 g per 100 g).
      The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 3.0% of the daily allowance.
      The concentration of oxalic acid per 100 g is minimal (2 mg), representing 0.5% of the maximum tolerable daily intake (for further details, see Rhubarb).
      It should be noted that tomatoes exhibit a high capacity for the bioaccumulation of the toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic ultratrace element beryllium (120.0% DV per 100 g), and are capable of concentrating barium.
