“…Lycopene is the primary pigment responsible for the red color in tomatoes (Borel et al, 2015). It comprises approximately 80-90% of the pigments present (Basuny, 2012). It is structurally different from carotene (Campos et al, 2017).…”

Food production and processing in developing countries generate high levels of waste and byproducts, causing a negative environmental impact and significant expenses. However, these biomaterials have ample potential for generating food additives which in turn will minimize malnutrition and hunger in the developing countries where it is produced. Many of these biomaterials are a source of valuable compounds such as proteins, lipids, starch, micronutrients, bioactive compounds, and dietary fibers. Additionally, antinutritional factors present in some byproducts can be minimized through biotechnological processes for use as a food additive or in the formulation of balanced foods. In this context, the use of these biomaterials is a challenge and provides great opportunity to improve food security. The purpose of this review is to project the potential of food waste and byproducts as a sustainable alternative to reduce malnutrition and hunger in developing countries.

“…Number of research studies have been published on the effects of lycopene on human health (Gerster, 1997;Agarawal & Rao, 2000). Specific health benefits include beneficial in cardiovascular diseases (Gajendragadkar et al, 2014), reduction of the risk of heart attack (Ried & Fakler, 2011) and atherosclerosis (Kohlmeier et al, 1997), reduction of blood pressure and serum cholesterol (Devaraj et al, 2008), effective suppression of oxidative stress (Devaraj et al, 2008;Kaur, Chauhan, & Sandhir, 2011), anticancer activity (van Breeman & Pajkovic, 2008;Omoni & Aluko, 2005;Salman, Bergman, Djaldetti, & Besler, 2007;Ford & Erdman Jr, 2013;Seren et al, 2008), specifically, activity against prostate cancer (Giovannucci , 2002), rectal cancer (Tang et al, 2008), pancreatic cancer (Salman, Bergman, Djaldetti, & Besler, 2007), breast cancer (Chalabi et al, 2006), and bladder cancer (Helzlsouer, Comstock, & Morris, 1989), beneficial in the treatment of male infertility (Gupta & Kumar, 2002), and beneficial in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (Kaur, Chauhan &Sandhir, 2011).…”

Numerous epidemiological studies indicate that consumption of antioxidant-rich foods is beneficial to human health and reduces the risks of dangerous diseases and premature aging. Among natural antioxidants some stand out for their powerful activity and health benefits and they are epigallocatechin gallate, quercetin, curcumin, resveratrol, hydroxytyrosol, astaxanthin, lycopene, dihydroquercetin, and lignans. Preclinical, clinical, and therapeutic studies of these antioxidants in their pure form or in their combination have shown positive health benefits. This review highlights basic information and interesting findings with their source, structure, antioxidant properties, and potential health benefits to human.

“…Moreover, significant dietary lycopene provision from tomato (around 85%) against rest of fruits and vegetables (15%) has featured tomato as viable source for scientific research (Levy and Sharoni, 2004;Chauhan et al, 2011). Lycopene, an extremely unsaturated, hydrocarbon chain carotenoid characterized as lipophilic molecule (Aghel et al, 2011;Basuny, 2012) projects its placement in a specialty class where nutrient with pharmaceutical value justifies dietary status. As a dietetic complement lycopene has already justified its potency as an antioxidant compound to compensate with nutraceutical importance and provided an option for endorsing specialty nutrition.…”

Background: The red-colored tomatoes are characterised as a mine of lycopene to manufacture food grade ingredient and projected its placement in a specialty class where nutrient with pharmaceutical value justifies dietary status. Tomato lycopene has justified its status as a potential antioxidant compensating with nutraceutical importance and provided an option for endorsing specialty nutrition. The diversity epidemiological experiments recorded noteworthy modulations in lipid profile and projected risk reduction potential of lycopene against non-communicable diseases. The progressive research efforts to monitor haematological parameters to justify efficacy of tomato lycopene against adverse effects on wellbeing of human body is required for precision governance. The present research work aims to assess the potential of lycopene rich tomato puree in monitoring the haematological parameters in hyperlipidemic Wistar rats. Methods: Wistar rats (Healthy control, high fat diet fed, HFD-Stain treated and HFD-tomato puree treated) were examined for physiological, haematological and blood biochemical parameters on 0, 14 and 28th day of experiment to assess effect of tomato puree administration on wellbeing of rats against healthy, hyperlipidemic and standard drug status. Result: The increased haemoglobin and total erythrocyte count on 14th and 28th day of experiment justifies the erythropoiesis stimulatory effect of tomato puree lycopene. Moreover, increased total leukocyte count in high fat diet-tomato puree fed rats on 14th and 28th day validates the positive effect of tomato puree lycopene to monitor healthiness in Wistar rats. The regulatory mechanism based on haematological specialty features that monitors the risk of physiological disorders and diseases outlined through animal study experimental data provided a logistic option to confirm the efficacy of tomato puree lycopene to protect wellbeing/healthiness of live entity (Wistar rats).
