The experiment included four varieties are edible tomato for industrial processing (Báb, Žiara PK, &Scaron;ampion and Roti PK). The concentration of total carotenoids and lycopene were determined spectrophotometrically on UV-VIS spectrophotometer Jenway at a wavelength of 445 and 472 nm. The highest average content of carotenoids in fruits were recorded at a variety Roti PK (7.0 mg/100 g<sup>-1</sup>) and lowest in variety Báb <br /> (4.8 mg/100 g<sup>-1</sup>). Heat treatment had a statistically significant positive effect on the lycopene content, changes in carotenoid content were not significant. Effect of genotype (variety) for the content of the endpoint was significantly important.<br /><br /><strong>doi:10.5219/195</strong></span></p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>
