PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a tomato powder enriched with cis-type lycopene and a tomato powder enriched with cis-type lycopene by efficiently cis-isomerizing lycopene without using a chemical such as an organic solvent. And a method for producing a tomato powder extract. SOLUTION: A tomato powder enriched with cis-type lycopene contains 20% by mass or more of cis-type lycopene when the whole lycopene is 100% by mass. The method for producing tomato powder enriched with cis-type lycopene is to heat tomato powder obtained by pulverizing tomato fruits at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of all-trans lycopene in a powder state without adding a medium for dissolving lycopene. Includes steps. [Selection diagram] Fig. 3
