beta-carotene and other carotenoids as antioxidants
(Amer Coll Nutrition, 1999-10-01)
Carotenoids are natural pigments which are synthesized by plants and are responsible for the bright colors of various fruits and vegetables. There are several dozen carotenoids in the foods that we eat, and most of these ...
Sources of errors in the quantitative analysis of food carotenoids by HPLC
(Archivos Latinoamericanos Nutricion, 1999-09-01)
Several factors render carotenoid determination inherently difficult. Thus, in spite of advances in analytical instrumentation, discrepancies in quantitative results on carotenoids can be encountered in the international ...
Site-specific concentrations of carotenoids in adipose tissue: relations with dietary and serum carotenoid concentrations in healthy adults
(Amer Soc Clinical Nutrition, 2009-09-01)
Background: Dietary carotenoids are related to a decreased risk of certain diseases. Serum and adipose tissue carotenoid concentrations are used as biomarkers of intake.Objectives: The objectives of this study were to ...

Effect of thermal pasteurization and concentration on carotenoid composition of Brazilian Valencia orange juice
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-01-01)
Changes in carotenoid pigment content of Brazilian Valencia orange juices due to thermal pasteurization and concentration were studied. Total carotenoid pigment content loss was not significant after thermal pasteurization ...
Correlation between carotenoid concentrations in serum and normal breast adipose tissue of women with benign breast tumor or breast cancer
(1998-11-01)
To evaluate the relationship between carotenoid concentrations in serum and breast tissue, we measured serum carotenoid concentrations and endogenous carotenoid levels in breast adipose tissue of women with benign breast ...
