The flavonoid biosnythesis is one of the best studied specialized metabolism pathways in plants. Flavonoids are produced by almost all land plants, but specific branches of this pathway are not present in all species. Flavonol biosynthesis, flavone biosynthesis, anthocyanin biosnythesis, and proanthocy...
Prominent examples of phytocompounds include polyphenols, flavonoids, and carotenoids61. (b) Probiotic micro-organisms Live bacteria known as probiotics are said to have health advantages when ingested. Typically, they may be discovered in fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut. Probiotics...
7,8 These nutrients include lutein and zeaxanthin (macular xanthophylls), provitamin A carotenoids (beta- and alpha-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin), vitamin A, retinol, alpha-tocopherol (a form of vitamin E), and vitamin C. Biologic plausibility of nutrient-AMD relationships is discussed in a ...
A taxonomic classification that accurately captures evolutionary history is essential for conservation. Genomics provides powerful tools for delimiting species and understanding their evolutionary relationships. This allows for a more accurate and detail
thus providing an unreliable evaluation of food intake [33]. Therefore, reliable nutritional biomarkers are urgently needed to obtain a more objective and quantitative measure of nutrient intake [33,34]. For instance, carotenoids and vitamin C detected in plasma or serum have been suggested as biom...

The non-conventional yeast Rhodotorula toruloides is an emerging host organism in biotechnology by merit of its natural capacity to accumulate high levels of carotenoids and intracellular storage lipids from a variety of carbon sources. While the number
Where FBW = body weight final (g), IBW = body weight initial (g), T = duration of the trial in days, WG = wet weight gain (g) and FI = estimated feed intake (g). *PER does not include consideration of the protein contained in the carbohydrate sources added as the consumption of...
The microbiome composition of living organisms is closely linked to essential functions determining the fitness of the host for thriving and adapting to a particular ecosystem. Although multiple factors, including the developmental stage, the diet, and h
Carrot (Daucus carotaL., 2n = 2x = 18) is known for being among the richest sources of dietary provitamin A carotenoids, α- and β-carotene. Carrot is grown globally, and production has risen steadily during the past 50 years1, with extensive adaptation to Asia, Europe and the...
