Status and Dietary Intake of Phytoene and Phytofluene in Spanish Adults and the Effect of a Four-Week Dietary Intervention with Lutein-Rich Fruits or Vegetables

Nutrients, 2022
Phytoene (PT) and phytofluene (PTF) are colourless carotenoids presents in the human diet and in blood, faeces and tissues and are biologically active. However, there is very little data on these carotenoids.

Protective effects of colorless carotenoid precursors against UV-induced lipid oxidation in liposomes compared to lycopene [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Consuming tomato-extracts can reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases. As lycopene supplementation alone had a weaker impact, the protective effect may be influenced by the colorless carotenoids phytoene and phytofluene.

Bioconversion of carotenoids into high-value crocins using a marine sponge carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Carotenoids and apocarotenoids are widespread specialized metabolites, yet animals, including sponges, lack the ability to synthesize carotenoids de novo and must obtain them from dietary or microbial sources. The roles of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) in marine animals remain largely unexplored. A CCD from the marine sponge Suberites

The Colourless Carotenoids Phytoene and Phytofluene: Sources, Consumption, Bioavailability and Health Effects

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

Dietary carotenoids and breast cancer risk: evidence from a large population-based incident case-control study [PDF]

Nutrition & Metabolism
Background Although mechanistic studies suggest protective roles for carotenoids against breast cancer (BC), human studies yield inconsistent findings. Few have comprehensively evaluated dietary intake of individual and grouped carotenoids in relation to

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
