Comparison of the bioavailability and intestinal absorption sites of phytoene, phytofluene, lycopene and β-carotene.

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.

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 ...

Carotenoid aggregates negatively impact chlorophyll levels and disrupt chloroplast development in peaches [PDF]

Molecular Horticulture
Peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) is among the most economically important fruit tree crops. Carotenoids in peach fruit have been intensively studied because of their relationship with fruit color and nutritional value.

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.

Validation of Noninvasive Cutaneous Carotenoid Measurements as Nutritional Biomarker Across Body Composition Groups. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Cutaneous 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).

Exogenous MeJA modulates postharvest tomato aroma by suppressing JAs-ethylene signaling crosstalk [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
BackgroundUntil recently, the mechanism underlying methyl jasmonate (MeJA)-mediated suppression of ethylene metabolism and its impact on quality formation in ripening tomatoes has not been fully clarified.

Therapeutic Modulation of Inflammatory Signaling via Physalis Peruviana-Derived Exosomes: A Targeted Effect on IKK/NFκB/STAT1. [PDF]

Mol Nutr Food Res
Exosomes 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 ...

The FIBRILLIN multigene family in tomato, their roles in plastoglobuli structure and metabolism. [PDF]

Plant J
Significance Statement A multiplex CRISPR/Cas approach has been used to characterise members of the FIBRILLIN (FBN) multigene family, through the generation and characterisation of independent and high‐order mutants. Molecular and biochemical characterisation has been performed, showing functional redundancy between members and the roles of FBN in ...

Improving the antinutritional profiles of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) moderately impacts carotenoid bioaccessibility but not mineral solubility [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Common beans are a common staple food with valuable nutritional qualities, but their high contents in antinutritional factors (ANFs) can decrease the bioavailability of (i) fat-soluble micronutrients including carotenoids and (ii) minerals. Our objective
