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

Combinatorial Tuning of Multigene Biosynthetic Pathways based on RNA Interference
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Small RNA sequencing identifies candidate endogenous Pol III promoters, and subsequent fluorescence screening measures knockdown efficiency to assess promoter strength. Combining promoter strength and shRNA target position enables fine‐grained RNAi regulation of multigene pathways. This strategy enhances β‐carotene production in Schizochytrium sp.

Bacterial Geosmin Biosynthesis is Compartmentalized Inside a Two‐Component Protein Shell
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reports the discovery that geosmin biosynthesis is compartmentalized inside a two‐component protein shell in many bacteria. Sequestration of geosmin synthase inside a Family 2B encapsulin nanocompartment improves geosmin yield and increases enzyme stability as compared to the free enzyme.

You are what you eat : Within-subject increases in fruit and vegetable consumption confer beneficial skin-color changes [PDF]
, 2012 R Whitehead was funded by an ESRC Studentship.Background: Fruit and vegetable consumption and ingestion of carotenoids have been found to be associated with human skin-color (yellowness) in a recent cross-sectional study. This carotenoid-based coloration

Agronomic and Nutritional Perspectives on Vegetable Crops in Africa
AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.Vegetable production plays a key role in food security, nutrition, and livelihoods across Africa. Moreover, African indigenous vegetables emerge as underutilized yet highly valuable crops, rich in macro‐ and micronutrients, as well as bioactive compounds with an array of health benefits.

Synthesis of antioxidant carotenoids in microalgae in response to physiological stress
, 2017 Carotenoids act as potential antioxidants, quenching energy of excited singlet oxygen and scavenging free radicals. Among microalgae, Haematococcus, Chlamydomonas, Chlorella, Dunaliella and diatoms and dinoflagellates, such as Phaeodactylum and ...

Functional characterization of various algal carotenoid ketolases reveals that ketolating zeaxanthin efficiently is essential for high production of astaxanthin in transgenic Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2011 Extending the carotenoid pathway to astaxanthin in plants is of scientific and industrial interest. However, expression of a microbial beta-carotene ketolase (BKT) that catalyses the formation of ketocarotenoids in transgenic plants typically results in ...
