“…Lutein and zeaxanthin are bioavailable from range of food sources, which upon consumption gives efficient biological activities (Abdel-Aal et al, 2013;Fernández-García et al, 2012); but here, focus is only on egg carotenoids and benefits to human health. While the average content of lutein and zeaxanthin in the yolk is~200-300 μg, the lipid matrix allows for efficient uptake of these pigments.…”

Hen egg is a unique and important carrier of lipid soluble bioactive carotenoids -lutein and zeaxanthin. Egg yolk carotenoid profile is largely dependent on hen's feed composition. Naturally, lutein and zeaxanthin are polar carotenoids primarily deposited in human retina and provide several protective functions, i.e. protect the macula from damage by blue light, improve visual acuity, and scavenge harmful reactive oxygen species. They have also been linked with reduced risk of agerelated macular degeneration and cataracts, cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer's, and possibly different cancers. This review summarizes the latest data on content and composition of hen egg carotenoids, effect of processing, feeding systems, feed additives, bioavailability, and physiological effect of egg carotenoids on human health issues.Carotenoides de huevo de gallina (luteína y zeaxantina) e impactos nutricionales en la salud del ser humano: una revisión RESUMEN La yema de huevo es un importante y único portador de carotenoides bioactivos liposolubles: luteína y zeaxantina. El perfil de carotenoides de la yema de huevo depende notablemente de la composición alimentaria de la gallina. La luteína y la zeaxantina son carotenoides polares naturales depositados principalmente en la retina humana y que aportan diversas funciones protectoras, como por ejemplo la protección de la mácula del daño provocado por la luz azulada, la mejora de la agudeza visual y expulsan las especies dañinas reactivas al oxígeno. Estos también están relacionados con reducir el riesgo de degeneración macular producido por la edad y las cataratas, enfermedades cardiovasculares, Alzheimer, además de la posibilidad de diferentes tipos de cáncer. Este estudio resume los datos más recientes acerca del contenido y la composición de los carotenoides de la yema de huevo de gallina, el efecto del procesamiento, los sistemas de alimentación, los aditivos alimentarios, la biodisponibilidad y el efecto psicológico de los carotenoides del huevo en los problemas de salud de las personas.

“…This refers to their incorporation into micelles, which are molecular aggregates that transport fat-soluble material, making it more accessible by the intestinal epithelium. It has been shown that the percentage of carotenoid ingested versus the amount assimilated, reaches up to 10% when a raw food is consumed (Fernández-García et al, 2012). Previous attempts have been made to improve bioavailability and stability of carotenoids, of which nanoemulsions have proven to be a feasible method.…”

Red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) oleoresin contain a diversity of carotenoids, which has been associated with lower risk for different chronic diseases like various types of cancer, cardiovascular disease and age-related macular degeneration. However, they are very sensitive to pro-oxidant conditions, heat and light. Previous attempts have been made to improve bioavailability and stability of carotenoids, of which emulsions have proven to be a feasible method. Conventional (CE) and nano (NE) emulsions loaded with paprika oleoresin carotenoids (POC; 1% wt/wt) were fabricated using surfactants blend (Tween 40 and Span 20) with a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB), ranging from 12 to 15.6, and surfactant: POC ratio of 1:1 (wt/wt). POC bioaccessibility was studied using an in vitro model to simulate oral, gastric and small intestine phases of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). In general, higher HLB values produced CE's and NE's with smaller particle size and negative value of zeta potential. The smaller the droplet size, the higher was POC bioaccessibility. NE prepared with a HLB of 15.6 had a particle size of 38.93 nm and a bioaccessibility of 74%. Bioaccessibility of unemulsified POC was practically nil. Conventional and nanoemulsions protected paprika oleoresin carotenoids deterioration during simulated gastrointestinal tract.Keywords: nanoemulsions, paprika oleoresin, gastrointestinal tract, bioaccessibility. ResumenLa oleorresina de paprika (Capsicum annuum L.) contiene una diversidad de carotenoides que se han relacionado con la disminución de enfermedades crónico degenerativas, cáncer, enfermedades cardiovasculares y degeneración macular. Los carotenoides son muy sensibles a condiciones pro-oxidantes, calor y luz, por lo que algunas investigaciones se han enfocado en mejorar su biodisponibilidad y estabilidad, de las cuales las emulsiones han demostrado ser un buen método. En este trabajo, se realizaron emulsiones convencionales (CE) y nanoemulsiones (NE) de carotenoides de oleorresina de paprika (POC, 1% p/p) utilizando surfactantes (Tween 40 y Span 20) con un balance hidrófilo-lipófilo (HLB) de 12 y 15.6, a una relación surfactante: POC de 1:1 (p/p). La bioaccesibilidad se estudió utilizando un modelo gastrointestinal (GIT) para simular las fases oral, estómago e intestino delgado. Los valores más altos de HLB produjeron CE y NE con menores tamaños de partícula y potencial zeta negativo. A menor tamaño de gota, mayor fue la bioaccesibilidad, mientras que para POC no emulsificada fue prácticamente nula. La NE con HLB de 15.6 mostró un tamaño de partícula de 38.93 nm y bioaccesibilidad del 74%. Las NE y CE protegieron los carotenoides de la oleorresina de paprika al pasar el GIT simulado.

“…Among these factors, genetics, sex, hormonal status, age, and are mainly influence the absorption of carotenoids. These all factors are interrelated with each other and their degree of influence on the absorption of carotenoids is still unknown [11][12][13][14][15].…”

Carotenoids have gained consumer interest because of their unique biological functions to promote human health. They belong to a group of isoprenoid pigments with abundance in nature. These pigments play a fundamental role qualitative specification of both fruits and vegetables. Coloring property of these pigments provide an appealing character to foods. Their biological properties allow them to develop a variety of commercialized products. Such properties involve these pigments in nutraceutical industry to cure life style related disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, photosensitivity disorders and immunesensitivity. This review discusses the biological properties and role of carotenoids towards prevention and protection from life style related disorders. Yet there are several research gaps to find out the exact dozes for particular diseases.
