Maturity and Temperature Influence on Lycopene Distribution during Filtration Processing of Red-fleshed Watermelons
(Oklahoma State University, 2005-12-01)
Our objectives were to evaluate filtration processing and extraction steps necessary for purification of lycopene from red-fleshed watermelons. Maturity and temperature influence on lycopene segregation during processing ...
Quantifying antioxidant activity of lycopene and influence of watermelon maturity on tissue ultrastructure and lycopene distribution
(2006-07)
Scope and Method of Study: Lycopene, a lipophilic antioxidant, plays a crucial role in biological systems. Watermelon, a natural source of lycopene (~48.7µg/g), could be a useful ingredient in functional foods. Correlating ...
