- Intervention effect Radioactivity of lycopene from labelled mevalonate was low in pericarp sections of tomatoes stored longer at higher temperatures.
- Intervention effect Radioactivity of β-carotene was high in pericarp sections of tomatoes stored longer at higher temperatures.
- Association Specific radioactivity of carotenes decreased along phytoene, lycopene and β-carotene in all fruit sections at each storage temperature.
