Background: Tomatoes and lycopene have been associated with the prevention of chronic diseases. Tetra-cis lycopene from tangerine tomatoes has been reported to be more bioavailable than the all-trans isomer found in red tomatoes. Therefore, tangerine tomatoes might contain
Tangerine tomatoes, unlike red tomatoes, accumulate cis-lycopenes instead of the all-trans isomer. cis-Lycopene is the predominating isomeric form of lycopene found in blood and tissues. Our objective was to understand how thermal processing and lipid concentration affect carotenoid isomerisation
1. The incorporation of [2-(14)C,(5R)-5-(3)H(1)]mevalonic acid and [2-(14)C,5-(3)H(2)]-mevalonic acid into phytoene, phytofluene, zeta-carotene, neurosporene, alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-carotene and lycopene by slices of fruit from two tomato mutants (delta and tangerine) and into alpha- and
Juices from the traditional red tomato and a unique tangerine tomato variety are being investigated as health promoting foods in human clinical trials. However, it is unknown how the tangerine and red tomato juices differ in biologically relevant phytochemicals beyond carotenoids. Here
