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

Validation of Noninvasive Cutaneous Carotenoid Measurements as Nutritional Biomarker Across Body Composition Groups. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrCutaneous carotenoid measurements obtained non‐invasively by reflection spectroscopy (Veggie Meter and Biozoom) showed strong correlations with plasma carotenoid concentrations measured by HPLC in women across different BMI categories (Veggie Meter rs(151) = 0.697 and Biozoom rs(151) = 0.650, both p < 0.001).

Nutritional Aspects of Phytoene and Phytofluene, Carotenoid Precursors to Lycopene [PDF]
Advances in Nutrition, 2011 Epidemiological studies suggest an inverse relationship between tomato consumption and serum and tissue lycopene (LYC) levels with risk of some chronic diseases, including several cancers and cardiovascular disease. LYC, the red carotenoid found in tomatoes, is often considered to be the primary bioactive carotenoid in tomatoes that mediates health ...

Therapeutic Modulation of Inflammatory Signaling via Physalis Peruviana-Derived Exosomes: A Targeted Effect on IKK/NFκB/STAT1. [PDF]
Mol Nutr Food ResExosomes derived from Physalis peruviana contain various bioactive compounds, such as RNAs, proteins, and secondary metabolites. These exosomes have been shown to contain different types of carotenoids that may have therapeutic properties. Physalis peruviana exosomes are capable of exhibiting anti‐inflammatory effects by influencing the IKK/NFκB/STAT1 ...
