European Database of Carotenoid Levels in Foods. Factors Affecting Carotenoid Content
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021)
Many studies indicate that diets including carotenoid-rich foods have positive effects on human health. Some of these compounds are precursors of the essential nutrient vitamin A. The present work is aimed at implementing ...

Effect of regulated deficit irrigation on quality parameters, carotenoids and phenolics of diverse tomato varieties (Solanum lycopersicum L.)
(Elsevier, 2017)
This study aims to evaluate the effects of regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) and of cluster position (CI: first and second cluster; CII: third and fourth cluster; CIII: fifth and sixth cluster) on fruit quality parameters, ...

A novel and enhanced approach for the assessment of the total carotenoid content of foods based on multipoint spectroscopic measurements
(Elsevier, 2011-06-15)
We have devised a more sensible approach to estimate the carotenoid content of orange juices, which can be regarded as a model system of food with intricate carotenoid pattern. For this purpose spectroscopic information ...

A Computer Simulation Insight into the Formation of Apocarotenoids: Study of the Carotenoid Oxygenases BCO1 and BCO2 and Their Interaction with Putative Substrates
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
Carotenoids are isoprenoid pigments, and sources of vitamin A in humans. The first metabolic pathway for their synthesis is mediated by the enzymes β,β-carotene-15,15′-dioxygenase (BCO1) and β,β-carotene-9′,10′-dioxygenase ...

A global perspective on carotenoids: metabolism, biotechnology, and benefits for nutrition and health.
(Elsevier, 2018-04-04)
Carotenoids are lipophilic isoprenoid compounds synthesized by all photosynthetic organisms and some non-photosynthetic bacteria and fungi. With some notable exceptions, animals (including humans) do not produce carotenoids ...
