CAROTENOIDS IN FOODS

open access: yesInternational Conference on Technics, Technologies and Education, 2018
Carotenoids are pigments giving the yellow, orange and red colours to the fruits, vegetables, as well as products manufacturing from them. They belong to bio-active compound, being of special interest for the food scientists, nutritionists and food industry due to its positive effect on human health. They function as secondary antioxidants in the food,

MdDSK2a‐Like‐MdMTA Module Functions in Apple Cold Response via Regulating ROS Detoxification and Cell Wall Deposition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Under cold stress, MdDSK2a‐like is degraded via the 26S proteasome pathway, thereby alleviating the degradation of MdMTA induced by the 26S proteasome and autophagy pathways mediated by MdDSK2a‐like. The accumulated MdMTA increases the m6A levels of cold‐responsive genes, thereby contributing to increased ROS detoxification, deposition of cell wall, as

Long-term strict raw food diet is associated with favourable plasma b-carotene and low plasma lycopene concentrations in Germans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Dietary carotenoids are associated with a reduced risk of chronic diseases. Raw food diets are predominantly plant-based diets that are practised with the intention of preventing chronic diseases by virtue of their high content of beneficial nutritive ...

Characterization of cassava ORANGE proteins and their capability to increase provitamin A carotenoids accumulation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) biofortification with provitamin A carotenoids is an ongoing process that aims to alleviate vitamin A deficiency. The moderate content of provitamin A carotenoids achieved so far limits the contribution to providing ...
