Carotenoid biotechnology in plants for nutritionally improved foods (2006, background): “Yet zeaxanthin is highly desirable, because it is preferentially accumulated and incorporated into the parts of the mammalian retina exposed to high irradiance and may thus be more useful in human diets than the readily available lutein (Demmig-Adams and Adams 2002).”
Content of redox-active compounds (ie, antioxidants) in foods consumed in the United States. (2006, background): “Plants contain high concentrations of numerous redox-active secondary metabolites (ie, antioxidants), such as polyphenols, carotenoids, tocopherols, tocotrienols, glutathione, ascorbic acid, and enzymes with antioxidant activity, which help to protect them from hazardous oxidative damage to plant ce”
A comprehensive classification system for lipids11 The evaluation of this manuscript was handled by the former Editor-in-Chief Trudy Forte. Published, JLR Papers in Press, February 16, 2005. DOI 10.1194/jlr.E400004-JLR200 (2005, background): “Carotenoids are important simple isoprenoids that function as antioxidants and as precursors of vitamin A ( 37 ).”
Bioactivity and protective effects of natural carotenoids. (2005, background): “Selected carotenoids are components of the light harvesting system in chloroplasts and play an important role in the protection of plants against photooxidative damage [7].”
