Once I open canned tomatoes and transfer it to a glass jar, what is the rate of deterioration of their lycopene content?

yes, there are such sites - we don't take this kind of question because there are thousands of foods out there and the answer is the same for all of them.– rumtscho ♦Nov 30, 2020 at 14:04

Your edit makes this question different from the suggested duplicate, but unfortunately we do not answer questions about nutrient composition (or how it changes over time).– EricaNov 30, 2020 at 17:47

Hi musiclvr56, we actually do answer questions about nutrient composition, in the very narrow case if you can tell us an exact nutrient you are interested in (this is a rare exception which Erica may have forgotten before commenting). This means we cannot extend the question to multiple unnamed nutrients, or to a general statement like "after X days, it stops being healthy", since this is absolutely undefinable. I can edit and reopen - I know that it might be so narrowed down as for the answers to be useless for you, but it is all we can take on our site.– rumtscho ♦Nov 30, 2020 at 18:39

I did a quick literature search, and I can't find a study that measures lycopene degredation after a can or jar is opened. There's lots about loss or gain during processing, but nobody seems to care about the jar once it's opened.– FuzzyChefNov 30, 2020 at 23:57
