Tomato is also an excellent source of antioxidants, dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins. Taking antioxidants, for example, tomato has a total oxygen radical absorbance capacity at 367 µmol TE/100 g, attributed to the high levels of vitamin A and flavonoid antioxidants, such as α and ß-carotenes, xanthins and lutein.
Aside from its important economic and nutritional values, tomato is also well received as a model species for the studies on many fundamental biological events, including regulations on flowering, shoot apical meristem maintenance, fruit ripening, as well as responses to abiotic and biotic stresses (such as light, salinity, temperature and various pathogens). Moreover, tomato also provides abundant health-promoting secondary metabolites (flavonoids, phenolics, alkaloids, etc.), making it an excellent source and experimental system for investigating nutrient biosynthesis and availability in food science.
