Abstract
⺠Different chromoplast types were confirmed for tomato, carrot, mango and papaya. ⺠Differences in carotenoid bioaccessibility were related to chromoplast types. ⺠β-Carotene bioaccessibility from foods: mango > papaya > tomato > carrot. ⺠Carotenoid bioaccessibility: lutein > β-cryptoxanthin > β-carotene > lycopene. ⺠Lipid addition enhanced bioaccessibility, irrespective of food source/carotenoid.
