The invention also provides oral compositions that comprise the primary composition in a foodstuff, in a food supplement or in a pharmaceutical preparation. ## Claims ### Claim 1 Carotenoid lycopene-containing food composition from tomato concentrate characterized in that said composition is lacking tomato taste, said composition comprising an aqua-containing component, lipid, and tomato concentrate which is processed to provide 10 or more times lowered content of aqua-soluble substances in said tomato concentrate as compared to said content in said tomato concentrate without said processing wherein: (a) aqua content in said tomato concentrate is not increased as a result of said processing; (b) as a result of said processing processed tomato concentrate has no tomato taste; (c) aqua content in said composition is from 20% to 90% of said composition by weight and lipid/aqua content ratio in said composition is from 1:1000 to 5:1. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A composition according to claim 1 wherein as a result of said processing the content of an aqua-soluble substance in tomato concentrate is lowered 10 or more times as compared to said content in said tomato concentrate without said processing and wherein an aqua-soluble substance is selected from the group consisting of an aqua-soluble mineral substance, an aqua-soluble salt, an aqua-soluble acid, an aqua-soluble sugar or a combination of any of thereof. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) A composition according to claim 1 wherein tomato concentrate is also an aqua-containing component of said composition. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) A composition according to claim 3 wherein lipid is vegetable oil. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) A composition according to claim 4 wherein as a result of said processing the content of an aqua-soluble substance in tomato concentrate is lowered 10 or more times as compared to said content in said tomato concentrate without said processing and wherein an aqua-soluble substance is selected from the group consisting of an aqua-soluble mineral substance, an aqua-soluble salt, an aqua-soluble acid, an aqua-soluble sugar or a combination of any of thereof. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) A composition according to claim 1 wherein one or more additional ingredients are added to said composition. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) A composition according to claim 1 wherein an aqua-containing component is aqua and lipid is vegetable oil. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) A composition according to claim 7 wherein as a result of said processing the content of an aqua-soluble substance in tomato concentrate is lowered 10 or more times as compared to said content in said tomato concentrate without said processing and wherein an aqua-soluble substance is selected from the group consisting of an aqua-soluble mineral substance, an aqua-soluble salt, an aqua-soluble acid, an aqua-soluble sugar or a combination of any of thereof. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) A composition according to claim 1 wherein carotenoid lycopene content in said composition is from 5 mg to 150 mg per 100 g of said composition. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) A composition according to claim 9 wherein lipid/aqua content ratio in said composition is from 1:10 to 5:1. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) A composition according to claim 1 wherein lipid/aqua content ratio in said composition is from 1:10 to 5:1. ### Claim 12 An oral composition which comprises carotenoid lycopene-containing food composition from tomato concentrate characterized in that said food composition is lacking tomato taste, said food composition comprising lipid and tomato concentrate which is processed to provide 10 or more times lowered content of aqua-soluble substances in said tomato concentrate as compared to said content in said tomato concentrate without said processing wherein: (a) the content of aqua in said tomato concentrate is not increased as a result of said processing; (b) as a result of said processing processed tomato concentrate has no tomato taste; (c) the content of said food composition in said oral composition is from 1% to 100% of said oral composition. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) An oral composition according to claim 12 wherein the content of said food composition in said oral composition is from 10% to 90% of said oral composition. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) An oral composition according to claim 13 wherein carotenoid lycopene content in said oral composition is from 5 mg to 150 mg per 100 g of said oral composition. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) An oral composition according to claim 12 wherein carotenoid lycopene content in said oral composition is from 5 mg to 150 mg per 100 g of said oral composition. ### Claim 16 Carotenoid lycopene-containing food composition from tomato concentrate characterized in that said composition is lacking tomato taste, said composition comprising vegetable oil and tomato concentrate which is processed to provide 10 or more times lowered content of aqua-soluble substances in said tomato concentrate as compared to said content in said tomato concentrate without said processing wherein: (a) aqua content in said tomato concentrate is not increased as a result of said processing; (b) as a result of said processing processed tomato concentrate has no tomato taste; (c) aqua content in said composition is from 20% to 90% of said composition by weight and lipid/aqua content ratio in said composition is from 1:1000 to 5:1. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) A composition according to claim 16 wherein one or more additional ingredients are added to said composition. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) A composition according to claim 16 wherein carotenoid lycopene content in said composition is from 5 mg to 150 mg per 100 g of said composition. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) A composition according to claim 16 wherein as a result of said processing the content of an aqua-soluble substance in tomato concentrate is lowered 10 or more times as compared to said content in said tomato concentrate without said processing and wherein an aqua-soluble substance is selected from the group consisting of an aqua-soluble mineral substance, an aqua-soluble salt, an aqua-soluble acid, an aqua-soluble sugar or a combination of any of thereof. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) A composition according to claim 16 wherein lipid/aqua content ratio in said composition is from 1:10 to 5:1.
