Opis: Carotenoids in Nutrition - Agnieszka Kaczor, Malgorzata Baranska

Carotenoids are an essential component of the human diet. Bioactive by nature, they are rich in antioxidants, promote vitamin A activity and lower the development of chronic illnesses. As such they are an area of growing interest to researchers and scientists who are working to design, develop and launch new functional food products, dietary supplements and other nutritional solutions. Carotenoids: Nutrition, Analysis and Technology is an up-to-date overview of the key areas of carotenoids in nutrition, therapy and technology. In the first section, the authors present a functional food perspective, outlining the therapeutic applications of the bioactive pigments. The second part is dedicated to the spectroscopic analysis of carotenoids, providing in-depth scientific methods and real research findings. In the final section, various technological applications of carotenoids are considered, including biotechnology and future prospects. Written by international experts in the field, this comprehensive book will be of interest to food scientists and researchers, nutritionists and health food companies. It will be of particular use to anyone involved in the spectroscopic analysis of carotenoids and other related bioactives.List of Contributors xi 1 Carotenoids: Overview of Nomenclature, Structures, Occurrence, and Functions 1 Agnieszka Kaczor, Malgorzata Baranska, and Krzysztof Czamara 1.1 Introduction 1 1.2 Nomenclature and structures 2 1.3 Occurrence and functions 7 1.3.1 Functions in plants 7 1.3.2 Antioxidants in humans 8 1.3.3 Role in visual and cognitive function 8 1.3.4 Carotenoids in human skin 8 1.3.5 Signaling function 9 1.3.6 Industrial applications 9 1.3.7 Carotenoids of specified properties 9 References 10 Part I Therapy 15 2 The Role of Antioxidants in Prevention of Premature Skin Aging 17 Jurgen Lademann, Maxim Evgen evich Darvin, Fanny Knorr, Sascha Jung, Leonhard Zastrow, and Martina Claudia Meinke 2.1 Introduction 17 2.2 State of the art 17 2.2.1 Solar radiation and skin aging 17 2.2.2 Carotenoids and the antioxidants of the human skin 18 2.2.3 Factors influencing the antioxidant status of the skin 20 2.2.4 Antioxidants and sun protection 21 2.2.5 Antioxidants and skin aging 22 2.2.6 Investigations into the antioxidant status of high school students 22 2.2.7 Accumulation of antioxidants in human skin by systemic and topical application 23 2.2.8 Ethnic influences on the antioxidant status 24 2.2.9 The antioxidant status in pregnant women and neonates 25 2.3 Summary 26 Conclusions 26 References 27 3 Antitumor Activity of Dietary Carotenoids, and Prospects for Applications in Therapy: Carotenoids and Cancer by Raman Imaging 31 Halina Abramczyk and Jakub Surmacki 3.1 Results 33 3.2 Conclusions 38 3.3 Perspectives 38 References 39 4 Photoprotection and Radiation Protection by Dietary Carotenoids 43 Fritz Boehm, Ruth Edge, Terence George Truscott, and Christian Witt 4.1 Introduction 43 4.2 Carotenoids and singlet oxygen 44 4.2.1 Organic solvents 44 4.2.2 Cell models 46 4.2.3 Cells 47 4.3 Radicals 48 4.3.1 Radical cations 48 4.3.2 Carotenoid radical adducts 49 4.3.3 Neutral radicals 50 4.3.4 Radical anions 51 4.3.5 The interaction of CARs with the superoxide radical and its protonated conjugated acid 51 4.4 Future prospects and challenges 53 4.5 Conclusion 53 Acknowledgments 54 References 54 5 Macular Carotenoids: Human Health Aspects 59 Aruna Gorusupudi and Paul S.
