The Interindividual Variability of Phytofluene Bioavailability is Associated with a Combination of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms. [PDF]
Mol Nutr Food Res, 2023 ScopePhytofluene is a colorless carotenoid with potential health benefits that displays a higher bioavailability compared to carotenoids such as lutein, β‐carotene or lycopene. Several studies suggest its bioavailability displays an elevated interindividual variability.

Preliminary Data on the Safety of Phytoene- and Phytofluene-Rich Products for Human Use including Topical Application [PDF]
Journal of Toxicology, 2018 The colorless carotenoids phytoene and phytofluene are comparatively understudied compounds found in common foods (e.g., tomatoes) and in human plasma, internal tissues, and skin. Being naturally present in common foods, their intake at dietary levels is

Food Chemistry, 2017 Phytoene and phytofluene are major abundant dietary carotenoids largely ignored in the context of agro-food and health. The bioaccessibility of phytoene and phytofluene in tomato, carrot, blood orange (sanguinello cultivar), and apricot juices was analysed following simulated gastro-intestinal digestion with coffee cream as a lipid source, and compared

Phytoene and phytofluene overproduction by Dunaliella salina using the mitosis inhibitor chlorpropham [PDF]
Algal Research, 2020 The halotolerant chlorophyte microalga, Dunaliella salina, is one of the richest sources of carotenoids and will accumulate up to 10% of the dry biomass as β-carotene, depending on the integrated amount of light to which the alga is exposed during a division cycle.

Potential of golden potatoes to improve vitamin A and vitamin E status in developing countries. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the third most widely consumed plant food by humans. Its tubers are rich in starch and vitamin C, but have low or null levels of essential nutrients such as provitamin A and vitamin E.

The colourless carotenoids phytoene and phytofluene: sources, consumption, bioavailability and health effects [PDF]
Current Opinion in Food Science, 2021 Phytoene and phytofluene are rarities among carotenoids as they are colourless, have a less rigid conformation and differ in their reactivity compared to other bioavailable carotenoids. Although they have been traditionally ignored, there is an expanding interest in them as recent studies indicate that they are present in some widely consumed foods ...

A comprehensive review on the colorless carotenoids phytoene and phytofluene [PDF]
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2015 Carotenoids and their derivatives are versatile isoprenoids involved in many varied actions, hence their importance in the agri-food industry, nutrition, health and other fields. All carotenoids are derived from the colorless carotenes phytoene and phytofluene, which are oddities among carotenoids due to their distinct chemical structure.

Comparison of the bioavailability and intestinal absorption sites of phytoene, phytofluene, lycopene and β-carotene [PDF]
Food Chemistry, 2019 The mechanisms of main tomato carotenes (phytoene, phytofluene, lycopene and β-carotene) intestinal absorption are still only partly understood. We thus compared carotene bioavailability in mice after gavage with carotene-rich oil-in-water emulsions. We also determined each carotene absorption profile along the duodenal-ileal axis of the intestine to ...

Tomato-Soy Juice Reduces Inflammation and Modulates the Urinary Metabolome in Adults With Obesity. [PDF]
Mol Nutr Food ResCompared to pre‐intervention, consuming a tomato‐soy juice (54 mg lycopene, 189 mg soy isoflavones/d) reduced levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL‐5, IL‐12p70, and GM‐CSF, with TNF‐alpha trending downward), increased plasma lycopene and urinary soy isoflavone metabolites, and altered the urinary metabolome. ABSTRACT Chronic, low‐grade inflammation is a
