Lycopene dietary supplements (in oil) may be more efficiently absorbed than lycopene from food. [4] Lycopene is not an essential nutrient for humans, but is commonly found in the diet mainly from dishes prepared from tomatoes. [4] The median and 99th percentile of dietary lycopene intake have been estimated to be 5.2 and 123 mg/d, respectively ...
To date, no X-ray crystal structure of lycopene has been reported. UV spectra of lycopene in hexane. A typical carotenoid, lycopene displays three absorbance maxima. A peak at 360 nm would indicate the presence of certain cis-isomers
Lycopene β-cyclase (EC 5.5.1.19, CrtL, CrtL-b, CrtY) is an enzyme with systematic name carotenoid beta-end group lyase (decyclizing). [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] This ...
Among carotenoids such as the tomato phytochemical, lycopene, the US Food and Drug Administration found insufficient evidence for its effects on any of several cancer types, resulting in limited language for how products containing lycopene can be described on labels.
Rose hips contain the carotenoids beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] A meta-analysis of human studies examining the potential for rose hip extracts to reduce arthritis pain concluded there was a small effect requiring further analysis of safety and efficacy in clinical trials . [ 8 ]
These PLU codes were introduced in 1990 to streamline produce identification for retailers and consumers. They typically range between 3000 and 4999, though there are exceptions. (As the IFPS ...
α-Zeacarotene (alpha-zeacarotene) is a form of carotene with a β-ionone ring at one end and a ζ-ionone ring at the opposite end. It is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of various carotenoids and plays a crucial role in the metabolic pathway leading to the production of lycopene and other important carotenoids.
Lycopane (C 40 H 82; 2,6,10,14,19,23,27,31-octamethyldotriacontane), a 40 carbon alkane isoprenoid, is a widely present biomarker that is often found in anoxic settings. It has been identified in anoxically deposited lacustrine sediments (such as the Messel formation [1] and the Condor oil shale deposit [2]).
