Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) currently account for nearly half of non-communicable diseases. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated the cardiovascular protective role of a diet rich in vegetables and fruits. In this context, our research outcomes have demonstrated the antiplatelet activities of fruits and vegetable extracts widely consumed, among which tomato was highlighted in our lab work. Tomato pomace, a major byproduct of tomato paste production, consists of skin and seeds and is a rich source of bioactive compounds. Tomato pomace has potent antithrombotic effects, even greater than the tomato. Given the large volumes of an industrial generation of tomato pomace, there is an opportunity to use this by-product to obtain a functional product with antiaggregant and antithrombotic properties that could be useful as an additive in health foods and thus prevent CVD. This review will focus on the platelet as the target for the antithrombotic actions exerted by the different bioactive compounds present in tomato pomace.

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of tomato pomace (TP) on the content of volatile compounds and L-carnitine and the sensory characteristics of raw fermented sausages produced with reduced nitrite. The produced sausages were divided into three experimental groups: control sample, sample with 1.5% addition of freeze-dried tomato pomace, and sample with 2.

A ten-week study was conducted to investigate the effects of the dietary inclusion of HSC as a source of PUFAs together with a natural source of antioxidants such as DT or DTP on the performance of laying hens and egg quality, as well as the lipid profile, antioxidant content and oxidative stability of egg yolk before and after storage. A total of 96 laying hens (aged between 28 and 37 weeks) were divided into three groups of 32 birds each (eight replicate cages, four birds per cage) and were assigned randomly the following dietary treatments: a standard corn-soybean meal diet (C), a diet containing 20% hempseed cake and 4% dried whole tomato (HT) and a diet containing 20% hempseed cake and 4% dried tomato pomace (HTP). The incorporation of HSC and tomato waste (DT and DTP) into the diet of hens caused increases in feed intake ( < 0.

The objective was to investigate effects of dietary tomato pomace (TP) and L-Arginine (L-Arg; 10% above nutritional recommendation) in aged male broiler breeders. Thirty male broiler breeders (Ross 308), 58 wk old, were randomly and equally allocated into five experimental groups: basal diet (C); 5% TP-supplemented (T-5); 10% TP-supplemented (T-10); 15% TP-supplemented (T-15); and L-Arg supplemented (L-10) groups. In contrast to the Control and TP-supplemented groups, sperm of L-10 roosters had higher C14:1, C16:0 and C18:1 n-9c proportions, total saturated fatty acid (FA) contents, and n-6:n-3 ratios, but a lower C22:4 n-6 content (P<0.

Oenobiol Sun Expert, a food formulation designed to enhance skin health prior to sun exposure, has been optimized by incorporating the OenoGrape Advanced Complex, which includes grape pomace extract, increased selenium content and 10% lycopene-rich tomato extract, with these constituents exhibiting high antioxidant potential. To evaluate the effects of these individual ingredients and the overall formulation at the cellular level, the AOP1 cell antioxidant efficacy assay was employed to measure the intracellular free radical scavenging activity, while the Cell Antioxidant Assay (CAA or DCFH-DA) assay was used to assess peroxidation scavenging at the plasma membrane level. The indirect antioxidant activity was examined using stably transfected cell lines containing a luciferase reporter gene controlled by the Antioxidant Response Element (ARE), which activates the endogenous antioxidant system via the Nrf2/Keap1-ARE pathway.
