- Functional foods: benefits, concerns and challenges-a position paper from the american council on science and health. (2002, neutral): “Tomatoes and tomato products are also being investigated for their role in cancer chemoprevention and are unique because they are the most significant dietary source of lycopene, a non-provitamin A carotenoid that is also a potent antioxidant (53).”
- Factors Influencing the Chemical Stability of Carotenoids in Foods (2010, background): “, 1996), breast (Shi, 2000), cervix, colon, esophagus, skin, pancreas, bladder, and stomach (Wilcox et al., 2003; Nguyen and Schwartz, 1999; Clinton, 1998).”
- Tomato lycopene and its role in human health and chronic diseases. (2000, background): “The biological activities of carotenoids such as βcarotene are related in general to their ability to form vitamin A within the body.(19) Since lycopene lacks the β-ionone ring structure, it cannot form vitamin A.”
- The role of carotenoids in the prevention of human pathologies. (2004, background): “The high concentration of lycopene in blood correlates with reduced risk of prostate cancer [40–43], digestive tract cancers [44–46], pancreatic cancer [47] cervical intraepithelial neoplasia [48] and myocardial infarction [17,49].”
- Role of Antioxidant Lycopene in Cancer and Heart Disease (2000, background): “Release of lycopene from the food matrix due to processing, presence of dietary lipids and heatinduced isomerization from all trans to cis conformation enhance lycopene bioavailability [1,17].”
- HarvestPlus Handbook for Carotenoid Analysis. (2004, background): “The effects of lycopene on human health have drawn considerable interest in recent years (Clinton 1998, Gerster 1997, Giovannucci 1999, Sies and Stahl 1998, Stahl and Sies 1996), the current evidence being stronger for lycopene protection against lung, stomach, and prostrate cancer.”
