Carotenoid profile of tomato sauces: effect of cooking time and content of extra virgin olive oil Vallverdú i Queralt, Anna Regueiro, Jorge Rinaldi de Alvarenga, José Fernando Torrado, Xavier Lamuela Raventós, Rosa Ma. Antioxidants Cromatografia de líquids d'alta resolució Espectrometria de masses amb ionització per electroesprai Antioxidants High performance liquid chromatography Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry The consumption of carotenoid-rich vegetables such as tomatoes and tomato sauces is associated with reduced risk of several chronic diseases. The predominant carotenoids in tomato products are in the (all-E) configuration, but (Z) isomers can be formed during thermal processing. The effect of cooking time (15, 30, 45 and 60 min) and the addition of extra virgin olive oil (5% and 10%) on the carotenoid extractability of tomato sauces was monitored using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) and LC-ultraviolet detection (LC-UV). The thermal treatment and the addition of extra virgin olive oil increased the levels of antioxidant activity, total carotenoids, Z-lycopene isomers, α-carotene and β-carotene. These results are of particular nutritional benefit since higher lycopene intake has been associated with a reduced risk of lethal prostate and a reduction of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Moreover, β-carotene has been reported to suppress the up-regulation of heme oxygenase-1 gene expression in a dose dependent manner and to suppress UVA-induced HO-1 gene expression in cultured FEK4. 2020-03-05T17:30:59Z 2020-03-05T17:30:59Z 2015-04-28 2020-03-05T17:30:59Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 1661-6596 https://hdl.handle.net/2445/152114 651825 25927580 eng Reproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms16059588 International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2015, vol. 16, num. 5, p. 9588-9599 https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms16059588 cc-by (c) Vallverdú i Queralt, Anna et al., 2015 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess 12 p. application/pdf MDPI Articles publicats en revistes (Nutrició, Ciències de l'Alimentació i Gastronomia)
