“…Sweet corn is a relatively abundant dietary source of carotenoids and tocopherols, phytochemicals that have the antioxidant capacity to protect cells against oxidative stress and from the occurrence of other degenerative diseases. Carotenoid consumption is associated with many potential health benefits, such as cancer chemo-protection (Tanaka, Shnimizu & Moriwaki, 2012), prevention of cardiovascular disease (Agarwal, Parameswari, Vasanthi & Das, 2012), prevention of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (Bone, Landrum, Dixon, Chen & Llerena, 2000;More, Thakre & Khodke, 2018;Ozata, 2019), decreased risk of several degenerative diseases (Obulesu, Dowlathabad & Bramhachari, 2011;Wegner & Khoramnia, 2011), protecting cells from the destructive effects of free radicals (Santocono, Zurria, Berrettini, Fedeli & Falcion, 2007). Vitamin E is known as a powerful antioxidant and has anticancer (Saini & Keum, 2016), antihypertensive (Kizhakekuttu & Widlansky, 2010), nephroprotective (Tsuduki, Kuriyama, Nakagawa and Miyazawa, 2013), neuroprotective (Rashid, Ahsan, Siddiqui & Siddiqui, 2015), anti-inflammatory activity (Mocchegiani et al, 2014).…”
