Effect of the consumption of a fruit and vegetable soup with high in vitro carotenoid bioaccessibility on serum carotenoid concentrations and markers of oxidative stress in young men

Abstract: The soup contributed to increasing the concentration of each carotenoid by more than 100% after 3 and 4 weeks of consumption, the maximum increase being observed after 4 weeks. Oxidative markers did not show any variation except for GPx. Serum lycopene half-life was longer than that of β-carotene, which may be important for studies evaluating both carotenoids.

“…Serum carotenoids, a family of lipophilic plant pigments with potent antioxidant activity, are considered a reliable biomarker of fruit and vegetable intake [31]. Serum responses to carotenoids have been reported to depend on a variety of factors, including the amount consumed, food matrix, and half-life variability of individual carotenoids [32]. The predominant carotenoids in human sera are α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin [33].…”

“…The soups, used for the in vitro studies and two separate human studies [25,26] were produced by Unilever, the Netherlands within the "Healthy Structuring" project, supported by the European Commission. The project aimed to formulate validated processing solutions to improve the nutritional, structural and sensorial quality of readyto-eat fruit and vegetable products.…”

“…Epidemiological evidence has shown an inverse correlation between regular consumption of fruits and vegetables and the prevalence of chronic diseases, with the protective effect being attributed to antioxidant nutrients in these foods (6,7). In this sense, the intake of these compounds appears to be a strategy for preventing lipid peroxidation and atherosclerosis (8).…”
