Antioxidant nutritional quality of tomato.
Luigi Frusciante,Paola Carli,Maria Raffaella Ercolano,Rita Pernice,Antonio Di Matteo,Vincenzo Fogliano,Nicoletta Pellegrini +6 more
TL;DR: An index, called index of antioxidant nutritional quality (I(QUAN), was proposed as a tool to address the breeding programs in selecting tomato genotypes with antioxidant nutritional qualities.

Processing tomato quality as affected by irrigation scheduling
Fabio Favati,Stella Lovelli,Fernanda Galgano,Vito Miccolis,Teodoro Di Tommaso,Vincenzo Candido +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of irrigation on processing tomato quality was investigated in the years 2002 and 2003 and the results, comparing different water regimes obtained combining amount of water and irrigation interval, gave useful indications on the possibility to improve nutritional tomato quality by reducing irrigation water during tomato cropping.

Tomato and Tomato Byproducts. Human Health Benefits of Lycopene and Its Application to Meat Products: A Review
Manuel Viuda-Martos,Elena Sánchez-Zapata,Estrella Sayas-Barberá,Esther Sendra,José Ángel Pérez-Álvarez,Juana Fernández-López +5 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to present an overview of the functional and physiological properties of the principal bioactive compound present in tomato and tomato byproducts, lycopene, its addition to meat, and meat products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lycopene – a bioactive carotenoid offering multiple health benefits: a review
TL;DR: Experimental and clinical studies have confirmed lycopene's positive effects on the skeletal system and on neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of various factors of ultrasonic treatment on the extraction yield of all-trans-lycopene from red grapefruit (Citrus paradise Macf.)
TL;DR: The extraction yield of UAE showed a pronounced greater extraction yield and reduced extraction time effectively with a peak value at 30 min, whereas pulsed ultrasound with proper intervals was more efficient than continuous ultrasonication.

Tomatoes, Tomato-Based Products, Lycopene, and Cancer: Review of the Epidemiologic Literature
TL;DR: The consistency of the results across numerous studies in diverse populations, for case-control and prospective studies, and for dietary-based and blood-based investigations argues against bias or confounding as the explanation for these findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamins E and C, beta-carotene, and other carotenoids as antioxidants.
Helmut Sies,Wilhelm Stahl +1 more
TL;DR: Micronutrients need to be regenerated on oxidation in the biological setting, hence the need for further coupling to nonradical reducing systems such as glutathione-glutathione disulfide, dihydrolipoate-lipoate, or NADPH-NadP+ and NADH-NAD+.

Lycopene in tomatoes: chemical and physical properties affected by food processing
John Shi,M Le Maguer +1 more
TL;DR: Determination of the degree of lycopene isomerization during processing would provide a measure of the potential health benefits of tomato-based foods, and further research on the bioavalability, pharmacology, biochemistry, and physiology must be done to reveal the mechanism of lyCopene in human diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lycopene: Chemistry, Biology, and Implications for Human Health and Disease
TL;DR: This review will summarize the knowledge in lycopene bioavailability, tissue distribution, metabolism, excretion, and biological actions in experimental animals and humans as well as the associations between lycopenes consumption and human health.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Prospective Study of Tomato Products, Lycopene, and Prostate Cancer Risk
TL;DR: Frequent consumption of tomato products is associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer, and these associations persisted in analyses controlling for fruit and vegetable consumption and for olive oil use and were observed separately in men of Southern European or other Caucasian ancestry.
