“…It is considered to be an efficient scavenger of free radicals and thus to be an efficient antioxidant [2]. The majority of studies on lycopene have been carried out on lycopene extracted from tomato [3] and there are relatively few studies on lycopene from guava.…”

“…The fruit can be eaten raw, cooked or processed, and several varieties are produced in Martinique, including Centeno Prolific, Red Supreme Ruby, Beausejour and the Cuban clone Cuba Enana. Psidium guajava L. has been shown to release more lycopene than tomato [3] and to be easily absorbed by the body. Pink guava is thus a major source of lycopene [4], and also of vitamin C [5] and polyphenols [6], but little information is available on extraction techniques.…”

The aim of this study was to optimize the extraction and characterization of lycopene, a carotenoid, from a tropical fruit, Psidium guajava L. and to demonstrate its health benefits. Deionised water, mixed with organic solvents, was used for extraction, and the depletion stage was reached in order to define the number of extractions needed to extract most of the lycopene. Optimum extraction was achieved with petroleum ether combined with guava puree:deionised water ratio of 40% using 15 ml of water. Four extractions were a satisfactory compromise to maximize the amount of lycopene recovered and to minimize the use of organic solvent. Excellent purification of lycopene was obtained by HPLC-VIS detection (470 nm) with acetonitrile/methanol/tetrahydrofuran mobile phase. Characterization was confirmed by FTIR analysis. A modification of the DPPH test made it possible to assess the EC 50 , thereby ranking lycopene among good antioxidants. As Psidium guajava is already widely used in the food industry, these results support claims for health benefits for products derived from guava.

“…The consumption of 100 g of tomato provides up to 20 calories (Ali et al, 2020), representing about 1% of daily needs. Additionally, tomatoes provide a wide range of beneficial effects, such as reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes (Giovannucci, 1999;Lairon et al, 2005;Lecerf, 2006;Battu, 2014;Cheng et al, 2017 andAli et al, 2020). These beneficial effects result from antioxidant and micronutrients roles such as lycopene, minerals, fibers, and vitamins, which are essential for the functioning of the body and its resistance to diseases.…”

In Burkina Faso, dietary patterns lack diversification and is characterized by a low consumption of vegetables. This is attributable to rooted eating habits, limited accessibility to vegetables, and a lack of awareness regarding the positive health effects and overall well-being associated with vegetable consumption. Raising consumers' awareness about the benefits of high intake of vegetables such as tomatoes can boost vegetable demand and supply. This review aims to highlight the nutritional characteristics and health benefits of tomato consumption, as well as its socio-economic importance for the population, especially women and youth. The literature revealed that tomato is recognized as a good source of carbohydrates, proteins, fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, amino acids and phenolic compounds and has therapeutic properties that can treat diarrhea and hypertension. A number of studies have reported that tomato's consumption help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes. Furthermore, tomato cultivation generates substantial income for producers and so reduces seasonal unemployment and poverty in many regions. Additionally, tomato cultivation can contribute to the resilience of populations to tackle the effects of climate change by enhancing food and nutritional security.

“…Sa peau et ses graines sont riches en fibres (Sawadogo et al, 2015). De nombreuses études épidémiologiques ont montré que la consommation de fruits et légumes comme la tomate joue un rôle dans la prévention des maladies chroniques, diminue la mortalité due au cancer et les maladies cardiovasculaires (Lecerf, 2006 ;Chanforan, 2010). La localité de Meskine à Maroua, bien que considérée comme une zone céréalière du Cameroun, abrite aujourd'hui de grandes superficies destinées au maraîchage en général et à la culture de la tomate en particulier.…”

La localité de Meskine à Maroua, longtemps considérée comme une zone céréalière de l’Extrême-nord du Cameroun, est devenue, de nos jours, une région de production de tomate par excellence. Les producteurs de cette culture font face à plusieurs contraintes parmi lesquelles les activités des insectes ravageurs. Dans le but de contribuer à l’amélioration de la production de cette culture, la présente étude a permis d’établir une liste des insectes ravageurs et utiles pullulant dans les champs de tomate. Les insectes, collectés par aspiration et par fauchage, ont été identifiés dans les laboratoires de Zoologie appliquée des universités de Ngaoundéré et Yaoundé I au Cameroun. L’inventaire a montré que les insectes inféodés à la culture de la tomate dans la localité de Meskine à Maroua sont représentés par huit (8) ordres, vingt-une (21) familles et vingt-deux (22) genres. Ces insectes. Bien que la majorité de ces insectes soit des ravageurs, on note la présence de quelques prédateurs et pollinisateurs. La détermination de l’entomofaune de la culture de tomate dans cette localité est un outil qui peut ainsi servir à la conception de stratégies de lutte contre les ravageurs. Mots clés: Lycopersicon esculentum, insectes ravageurs, insectes prédateurs, Maroua. English Title: Entomofauna associated to the tomato crops (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) in the locality of Meskine, Far North region, Cameroon Meskine in the Far North region, Cameroon has long been considered as cereal zone production. This locality has become today a region of tomato production per excellence. Farmers in this locality are faced to many constrains among which activities of insect pests. In order to improve the production of this crop, the present study allows us to establish a list of potential insect pests and benefit insects of tomato crops. Insects collected using aspirator and sweep net were identified in the laboratories of applied Zoology at the Universities of Ngaoundéré and Yaoundé I, Cameroon. The results of our study showed that, insects associated to tomatoes in the locality of Meskine were from eight (8) orders, twenty-one (21) families and twenty-two (22) genera. Although the majority of these insects were represented by potential insect pests, some predators and pollinators were recorded. The establishment of the lists of harmful and benefits insects associated to the tomato crop in this locality can therefore be used to design strategies for the management of insect pests.Keywords: Lycopersicon esculentum, insect pests, predator insects, Maroua
