Recently, there has been increased interest in colored foods because their unique pigments in fruits and vegetables originate from phytochemicals with antioxidant, anticancer, and antibacterial properties. Consequently, various colored cherry tomatoes have been developed. This study analyzed the lycopene, ascorbic acid, polyphenol, and antioxidant content and activity of 12 cultivars of colored cherry tomatoes harvested in Korea. The red colored cherry tomato cultivars 'DOTORI RED TY', 'KT RED TY', and 'BLACK JOY200' showed significantly higher levels of lycopene, a major antioxidant compound in tomato. Total flavonoid analysis showed that 'DOTORI RED TY', 'TY Item', and 'TY Sispen' had significantly higher concentrations, and a similar trend was observed in total phenolics. The major polyphenols in cherry tomatoes were identified as chlorogenic acid, rutin, and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate, with 'TY Sispen' showing significantly higher contents of chlorogenic acid and rutin, while 'DOTORI RED TY' exhibited higher levels of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate.

最近，人们对有色食品的兴趣有所增加，因为水果和蔬菜中的独特色素源自具有抗氧化、抗癌和抗菌特性的植物化学物质。因此，已培育出各种有色樱桃番茄。本研究分析了韩国收获的12个有色樱桃番茄品种的番茄红素、抗坏血酸、多酚以及抗氧化剂含量和活性。红色樱桃番茄品种“DOTORI RED TY”、“KT RED TY”和“BLACK JOY200”的番茄红素含量显著更高，番茄红素是番茄中的一种主要抗氧化化合物。总黄酮分析表明，“DOTORI RED TY”、“TY Item”和“TY Sispen”的浓度显著更高，总酚类物质也呈现类似趋势。樱桃番茄中的主要多酚被鉴定为绿原酸、芦丁和（-）-表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯，“TY Sispen”的绿原酸和芦丁含量显著更高，而“DOTORI RED TY”的（-）-表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯含量更高。
