TLDR
L'Einkorn is a ble diploide (Triticum monococcum L) contenant des taux eleves de proteines and presentant une pigmentation jaune as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
L'Einkorn est un ble diploide (Triticum monococcum L.) contenant des taux eleves de proteines et presentant une pigmentation jaune. Il permettrait la fabrication de produits de cuissons enrichis en carotenoides et en proteines. Des bles riches en carotenoides, et plus particulierement en luteine, sont etudies, en vue de produire des produits cerealiers possedant des activites fonctionnelles.read more

Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary sources of lutein and zeaxanthin carotenoids and their role in eye health.
TL;DR: Recent scientific evidences supporting the benefits of lutein and zexanthin in preventing the onset of two major age-related eye diseases with diets rich in these carotenoids are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carotenoids and tocols of einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum ssp. monococcum L.)
TL;DR: Einkorns from different geographical areas had diverse average total carotenoid and tocol values; two geographic gradients were observed, possibly reflecting the original routes of spread of einkorn into Europe from the Middle East.

Wheat lipoxygenase activity induces greater loss of carotenoids than vitamin E during breadmaking.
Fanny Leenhardt,Bernard Lyan,Edmond Rock,Aline Boussard,Jacques Potus,Elisabeth Chanliaud,Christian Remesy +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that carotenoids are more susceptible to oxidation by endogenous lipoxygenase than vitamin E during breadmaking, and could be improved by selecting suitable cereal genotypes, if this potential is preserved by milling and baking processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do “ancient” wheat species differ from modern bread wheat in their contents of bioactive components?
TL;DR: Analysis of ancient wheat species suggested to have health benefits when compared with modern cultivars of bread and durum wheat does not support the suggestion that ancient wheats are generally more “healthy” than modern wheats.

Phytochemical profile of main antioxidants in different fractions of purple and blue wheat, and black barley
S. Siebenhandl,Heinrich Grausgruber,Nicoletta Pellegrini,Daniele Del Rio,Vincenzo Fogliano,Rita Pernice,Emmerich Berghofer +6 more
TL;DR: The results showed that fractionation has a significant influence on the antioxidant properties, TPC, anthocyanin and carotenoid contents, and phenolic acid composition, and suggest the possibility to improve the antioxidant release from cereal-based food through selection of postharvest treatments.

Dietary Carotenoids, Vitamins A, C, and E, and Advanced Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Johanna M. Seddon,Umed A. Ajani,Robert D. Sperduto,Rita Hiller,Norman P. Blair,Thomas C. Burton,Marilyn D. Farber,Evangelos S. Gragoudas,Julia A. Haller,Dayton T. Miller,Lawrence A. Yannuzzi,Walter C. Willett +11 more
TL;DR: Increasing the consumption of foods rich in certain carotenoids, in particular dark green, leafy vegetables, may decrease the risk of developing advanced or exudative AMD, the most visually disabling form of macular degeneration among older people.

Lutein, zeaxanthin, and the macular pigment.
John T. Landrum,Richard A. Bone +1 more
TL;DR: Prospects for future research in the study of macular pigment require new initiatives that will probe more accurately into the localization of these carotenoids in the retina, identify possible transport proteins and mechanisms, and prove the veracity of the photoprotection hypothesis for the macular pigments.

Macular pigment in donor eyes with and without AMD: a case-control study.
Richard A. Bone,John T. Landrum,Susan T. Mayne,Christina M. Gomez,Susan E. Tibor,Ewa E. Twaroska +5 more
TL;DR: The results are consistent with a theoretical model that proposes an inverse association between risk of AMD and the amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin in the retina and are inconsistent with a model that attributes a loss of L and Z inThe retina to the destructive effects of AMD.

A prospective study of carotenoid intake and risk of cataract extraction in US men
Lisa E. Brown,Eric B. Rimm,Johanna M. Seddon,Edward Giovannucci,Lisa Chasan-Taber,Donna Spiegelman,Walter C. Willett,Susan E. Hankinson +7 more
TL;DR: Lutein and zeaxanthin may decrease the risk of cataracts severe enough to require extraction, although this relation appears modest in magnitude, adding support for recommendations to consume vegetables and fruit high in carotenoids daily.

A prospective study of carotenoid and vitamin A intakes and risk of cataract extraction in US women

TL;DR: Lutein and zeaxanthin and foods rich in these carotenoids may decrease the risk of cataracts severe enough to require extraction, and increasing frequency of intakes of spinach and kale, foodsrich in lutein, was associated with a moderate decrease in risk ofCataract.
