According to a study conducted by the USDA's Agricultural Research Service, titled "Composition of Orange, Yellow and Red Fleshed Watermelon", orange or yellow fleshed watermelons have little or no lycopene when compared with red fleshed watermelons.

The study, which was published in December 2002, found that red fleshed watermelons contained significantly higher levels of lycopene (63 to 68 Fg/g) than those levels found in orange or yellow fleshed watermelons (0.1 to 4.2 Fg/g).
