The lycopene content in hydroponic and non-hydroponic ripe tomatoes increased from 36 micro g/g fresh weight to maximum amounts after 14 days storage at 22 deg C, reaching 89.75 plus or minus 4.51 and 115.13 plus or minus 2.08 micro g/g fresh weight for hydroponic and non-hydroponic tomatoes respectively. Non-hydroponic tomatoes showed also a significant increase (P<0.05) in red colour when stored at 22 deg C. Storage at 4 deg C suppressed lycopene formation and red colour development in both cultivars.
