[EN] Carotenoids are lipophilic isoprenoids with roles in photosynthesis and signaling. Dietary carotenoids are nutritionally relevant as precursors of retinoids (including vitamin A). These pigments also provide health ...
[EN] This study investigated the influence of the intermittent drying conditions on drying kinetics and on color and carotenoid retention of mangoes. The drying conditions were 95°C (40 min) and 80°C (40 min) in the first ...
[EN] BACKGROUND: Tomatoes are an important source of antioxidants (carotenoids, vitamin C, etc.) owing to their high level of consumption. There is great interest in developing cultivars with increased levels of lycopene, ...
[EN] Isoprenoids are a wide family of metabolites including high-value chemicals, flavors, pigments, and drugs. Isoprenoids are particularly abundant and diverse in plants. The methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway ...
[EN] The present study was conducted to determine the major bioactive lipid components of the seed oils of
nine pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cultivars grown in Spain, namely fatty acids, vitamin E and sterol
compositions. ...
[EN] Mediterranean herbs, specially thyme and rosemary, are important ingredients in food preparation and more recently have been studied as natural sources of bioactive compounds. This study aimed to study the effect of ...
[EN] The effect of controlled deficit irrigation (CDI) on the accumulation of carotenoids, polyphenols and l-ascorbic acid was studied in conventional and high lycopene tomato cultivars. Plants were initially irrigated to ...
[EN] The effect of conventional integrated pest management and organic farming production systems on theagronomic performance and quality of standard and high lycopene tomato cvs. has been evaluated fortwo years in two of ...
[EN] Plant carotenoids are essential for photosynthesis and photoprotection and provide colors in the yellow to red range to non-photosynthetic organs such as petals and ripe fruits. They are also the precursors of ...
