Lycopene Z-isomerization and degradation in a series of hydrophobic natural deep eutectic solvents (HNDES) was firstly studied. The highest lycopene retention (about 84.6%) was found in HNDES composed of thymol and menthol (TM), and fatty acid-based HNDES promoted lycopene Z-isomerization (about 70% for total Z-isomers) and degradation. The addition of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), diallyl disulfide (DADS) and capric acid into TM promoted Z-isomerization of lycopene (80% for total Z-isomers), especially 5Z-isomer (>30%), while lycopene remaining rate in TM/-capric acid was below 20%. During lycopene extraction from tomato power and watermelon juice by TM, the ratios of Z-isomer significantly (p < 0.05) increased especially with AITC and DADS (up to about 80%), and extraction yields increased even > 100% with capric acid. Lycopene in TM/-capric acid extracts showed low degradation with Z-isomers increasing during storage. TM with capric acid could simultaneously promote lycopene Z-isomerization and extraction.

Isothiocyanate-functionalized silica as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for carotenoid isomerization.

Food Chem

Department of Materials Process Engineering, Nagoya University, Furo-cho, Nagoya, Aichi 464-8603, Japan; Super Critical Technology Centre Co. Ltd., Hanowari, Ooaza Izumi, Kuwana-shi, Mie 511-0838, Japan.

Daily consumption of carotenoids is associated with multiple health benefits, but their bioavailability is generally extremely low. In this context, the Z-isomerization is receiving attention as a method for increasing carotenoid bioavailability because this approach is superior to conventional physical approaches. Here we investigated the feasibility of using isothiocyanate-functionalized silica (Si-NCS) as a heterogeneous catalyst for carotenoid isomerization.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of extraction conditions (temperature, pressure, and entrainer content) on the total Z-isomer ratio and recovery of lycopene in the extracts obtained after supercritical CO (SC-CO) extraction of lycopene from tomato powder, with a particular focus on high-temperature conditions (≥ 80°C). The results showed that high-temperature SC-CO extraction promoted the thermal isomerization of lycopene in a temperature-dependent manner up to 120℃. For example, when lycopene extraction was carried out at 80, 100, 120, and 140°C and a pressure of 30 MPa with an entrainer, ethanol, for 180 min, the total Z-isomer ratios obtained were 25.

Recent investigations have demonstrated that some food ingredients and vegetable oils, such as onion, garlic, and sesame oil, enhanced thermal Z-isomerization of (all-E)-lycopene in tomatoes. However, the synergistic effects of these ingredients and oils have not yet been investigated. This study aims at clarifying how the combined use of lycopene Z-isomerization-promoting food ingredients and vegetable oils impacts thermal Z-isomerization of (all-E)-lycopene in tomato puree.

Since lycopene -isomers exhibit greater bioavailability and biological activity than the naturally occurring all--isomer, efficient manufacturing methods for ()-lycopene-rich materials are urgently needed. Herein, a method was developed for -isomerization of (all-)-lycopene in tomato oleoresin using heat treatment and a natural catalyst, viz. allyl isothiocyanate (AITC).
