Effect of Fluridone on Roots and Leaf Buds Development in Stem Cuttings of Salix babylonica (L.) ‘Tortuosa’ and Related Metabolic and Physiological Traits [PDF]

Molecules
The herbicide fluridone (1-methyl-3-phenyl-5-[3-trifluoromethyl (phenyl)]-4(1H)-pyridone) interferes with carotenoid biosynthesis in plants by inhibiting the conversion of phytoene to phytofluene.

Tomato-Soy Juice Reduces Inflammation and Modulates the Urinary Metabolome in Adults With Obesity. [PDF]

Mol Nutr Food Res
Compared 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

Antioxidants and Techno-Functional Components of Squash (<i>Cucurbita moschata</i> L.) Pulp Powder From Tunisia. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
This study evaluates the nutritional profile and antioxidant potential of squash pulp powder. The powder, rich in phenolic compounds, vitamin A, and essential nutrients, demonstrates strong antioxidant activity (IC50 = 1.667 μg/mL). Techno‐functional analysis and sensory evaluation confirm its suitability as a functional food additive.

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.

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.

Stereoisomers of Colourless Carotenoids from the Marine Microalga Dunaliella salina

Molecules, 2020
Carotenoids comprise a diverse range of naturally occurring stereoisomers, which differ in their physico-chemical properties. Their biosynthesis begins with phytoene, which is a rarity among carotenoids because it is colourless.

Evaluation of Cellular Uptake and Removal of Chlorpropham in the Treatment of Dunaliella salina for Phytoene Production

Marine Drugs, 2022
Chlorpropham is a carbamate herbicide that inhibits cell division and has been widely used as a potato sprout suppressant. Recently we showed that the microalga Dunaliella salina treated with chlorpropham massively accumulated the colourless carotenoids ...
