In this case, the researchers increased the flavonol and anthocyanin content of tomatoes.
The flavonol group of polyphenols contained aglyconic quercetin and myricetin, traces of kaempferol as well as their various glycosides.
Quercetin is a flavonol widely present in fruits and vegetables, particularly onions and apples.
