“…In-vitro tests can be used to screen the potential candidates, and then, clinical trials are required to quantify the target bacteria and demonstrate the prebiotic effect. As highlighted by early research, the most common microorganisms shown to "selectively" utilize prebiotics were Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus [16][17][18][19]. However, due to the limitations of culture methods, the evidence was insufficient to demonstrate the changes in the gut microbial ecosystem that could utilize the prebiotic substrates.…”

The consumer awareness towards healthier diets and the impact of nutrition on health has triggered an increase in the production and commercialization of foods with health claims. The scientific literature classifies these food products as functional foods, with a role in promoting health and preventing diseases, and they had a market share of almost 200 million EUR in 2019. Prebiotics are considered functional foods, referring to substrates that are selectively utilized by host microorganisms conferring a health benefit, as defined by the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics. Several health benefits are associated with the consumption of prebiotics; however, specific requirements must demonstrate the causality between the specific ingredient and the claimed effect. Health claims associated with food products are assessed in the European Union and need to be supported by rigorous scientific evidence before being authorized and permitted on the market. Consumers’ perception of this topic is influenced by the various stakeholders involved. The current work aimed to study the consumers’ perception and interest and to assess the knowledge on the prebiotic concept in Romania. The consumer interest level was quantified by using the web-based data tool Google Trends, and a questionnaire-based investigation was designed. The collected data were analyzed with the help of the SPSS program, and crosstabulation was used to identify the influence of socio-demographic characteristics on diet choice and awareness of prebiotics. A total of 303 persons answered the online applied questionnaire, grouped as young consumers (15–24 years old) and adults (25–64 years old). Even if most responders were familiar with the term of prebiotics (74% of total responders), some results were contradictory regarding their knowledge. The work emphasized the need to carry out educational campaigns and inform consumers on the relationship between certain food ingredients and health outcomes in a clear way and based on a rigorous assessment of the scientific evidence.

“…Response Surface Methodology (RSM), Plackett-Burman design (PBD), and the bioreactor optimized the production of carotenoids from Rhodotorula ATL72 [20,21]. This study aimed to use the biotechnological process as optimization and a bioreactor to enhance the production of carotenoids by Rhodotorula ATL72.…”

Rhodotorula yeasts which are known as carotenogenic yeasts have a great industrial value due to their ability to produce carotenoids. In particular, the isolated yeast Rhodotorula sp. (strain ATL72) has been reported to be a promising producer of high concentrations of carotenoids. A combination of central composite design (CCD) and Plackett–Burman (PB) design was used to optimize carotenoids produced by this yeast. The optimum production of carotenoids was completed when the yeast was grown in a production medium composed of 3.7 g/L malt extract, 7.7 g/L fructose, 9 g/L urea, 35 g/L NaCl, and 1 g/L yeast extract at 27.5 °C, pH 6.7, and 180 rpm. Two batch runs in 1L and 7L bioreactors were conducted which increased the productivity of carotenoid concentration from 21.5 mg/L after 98h of incubation at the level of the shake flask to 229.9 mg/L after 47 h of incubation at the level of 7 L bioreactor. The carotenoid pigment was extracted in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), acetone, petroleum ether, and sodium chloride, and subsequently identified and characterized using the following: UV-visible scanning, thin layer chromatography, and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

“…Carotenoids are lipophilic isoprenoid compounds, classified as cyclic or acyclic according to the presence or absence of an end ring on their structure (68)(69)(70)(71). The most common carotenoids found in blood plasma are lycopene, β-carotene, and lutein (72).…”

“…Several health benefits have been attributed to carotenoids like immunomodulators ( 73 , 74 ), improving eye ( 75 , 76 ), heart health ( 77 ), protecting skin from UV damage, improving brain functions during childhood ( 78 ), cancer prevention ( 79 ), among others ( 69 ). In the Solanum genus, S. lycopersicum has been an outstanding source of carotenoids, lycopene being the most common ( 2 , 70 ). Thus, the tomato fruit and its products are the principal sources of lycopene for humans ( 71 ).…”

Solanum Fruits: Phytochemicals, Bioaccessibility and Bioavailability, and Their Relationship With Their Health-Promoting Effects

The Solanum genus is the largest in the Solanaceae family containing around 2,000 species. There is a great number of edibles obtained from this genus, and globally, the most common are tomato (S. lycopersicum), potato (S. tuberosum), and eggplant (S. melongena). Other fruits are common in specific regions and countries, for instance, S. nigrum, S. torvum, S. betaceum, and S. stramonifolium. Various reports have shown that flavonoids, phenolic acids, alkaloids, saponins, and other molecules can be found in these plants. These molecules are associated with various health-promoting properties against many non-communicable diseases, the main causes of death globally. Nonetheless, the transformations of the structure of antioxidants caused by cooking methods and gastrointestinal digestion impact their potential benefits and must be considered. This review provides information about antioxidant compounds, their bioaccessibility and bioavailability, and their health-promoting effects. Bioaccessibility and bioavailability studies must be considered when evaluating the bioactive properties of health-promoting molecules like those from the Solanum genus.
