Lycopene is more bioavailable from tomato paste than from fresh tomatoes.
Lycopene bioavailability from a single dose of fresh tomatoes or tomato paste (23 mg lycopene) ingested together with 15 g corn oil was compared by analyzing carotenoid concentrations in the chylomicron fraction. The lycopene isomer pattern was the same in both fresh tomatoes and tomato paste. The triacylglycerol response in chylomicrons was not significantly different after both treatments. In...
متن کاملCarotenoid Content of Thermally Processed Tomato-Based Food Products
Tomato-based food products such as tomato paste, tomato sauce, and tomato-based soups are rich in carotenoid compounds and are frequently consumed in the United States. Foods such as these, which are high in carotenoid content, are of interest because of the demonstrated association between consumption of fruits and vegetables and reduced risk of lung and other epithelial cancers in humans. Lim...
متن کاملProcessing effects on lycopene content and antioxidant activity of tomatoes.
Consumption of tomato products has been associated with decreased risk of some cancer types, and the tomato antioxidant, lycopene, is thought to play an important role in the observed health effects. In this study, four carotenoids, trans-lycopene, phytofluene, phytoene, and zeta-carotene, were quantified in tomato products. Samples of raw tomatoes, tomato juice after hot break scalder, and fin...
متن کاملCharacterizing the lipid-lowering effects and antioxidant mechanisms of tomato paste.
Lycopene is known to decrease cardiovascular risks. The objective of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms of tomato paste containing approximately 0.1% lycopene in regulating lipid metabolism and oxidation. Hamsters fed 3% or 9% tomato paste containing 0.2% cholesterol were subjected to total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), and ...
متن کاملDifferential effects of lycopene consumed in tomato paste and lycopene in the form of a purified extract on target genes of cancer prostatic cells.
BACKGROUND Prospective studies indicate that tomato consumers are protected against prostate cancer. Lycopene has been hypothesized to be responsible for tomato health benefits. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to differentiate the effects of tomato matrix from those of lycopene by using lycopene-rich red tomatoes, lycopene-free yellow tomatoes, and purified lycopene. DESIGN Thirty healthy men (aged 5...
