Cytological and molecular characterization of carotenoid accumulation in normal and high-lycopene mutant oranges

Scientific Reports, 2017
Ripe Cara Cara sweet orange contains 25 times as much carotenoids in flesh as Newhall sweet orange, due to high accumulation of carotenes, mainly phytoene, lycopene and phytofluene.

Whey- and Soy Protein Isolates Added to a Carrot-Tomato Juice Alter Carotenoid Bioavailability in Healthy Adults

Antioxidants, 2021
Recent findings suggested that proteins can differentially affect carotenoid bioaccessibility during gastro-intestinal digestion. In this crossover, randomized human trial, we aimed to confirm that proteins, specifically whey- and soy-protein isolates ...

Phytoene and Phytofluene Isolated from a Tomato Extract are Readily Incorporated in Mixed Micelles and Absorbed by Caco‐2 Cells, as Compared to Lycopene, and SR‐BI is Involved in their Cellular Uptake

Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2018
SCOPE Absorption mechanisms of phytoene (PT) and phytofluene (PTF) are poorly known. The main objectives of the study are to measure their micellization and intestinal cell uptake efficiencies and to compare them to those of commonly consumed carotenoids.

Genetic Determinants of Interindividual Differences in Provitamin A Carotenoid Concentrations in Human Adipose Tissue

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
Periumbilical adipose tissue provitamin A carotenoids (proVA CAR) were quantified in 43 healthy adult males to investigate genetic factors associated with their tissue concentrations. β‐Carotene was the most abundant adipose tissue proVA CAR, followed by α‐carotene and β‐cryptoxanthin, with marked interindividual variability.
