ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES AGAINST FREE RADICALS As main reference the antioxidant is just a molecule that inhibits the oxidation of other molecules. Accordind to chemistry, the oxidation process is a reaction that transfers electrons or hydrogen from a substance to an oxidizing agent. The oxidation reactions produce "free radicals". High quantities of free radicals could be very dangerous in human body, because their extreme reactivity can participate in deleterious reactions damaging our cells. The main targets of destructive action, of free radicals, are the cellular components such as membrane lipids, nucleic acids and proteins. The antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions. They do this by being oxidized themselves, so antioxidants are often reducing agents such as thiols, ascorbic acid, or polyphenols. |

LYCOPENE IS ONE OF THE MOST STRONGER ANTIOXIDANTS ABLE TO CONTRAST FREE RADICALS |
MAIN PROPERTIES OF LYCOPENE Like other carotenoids, lycopene has a strong antioxidant power. The antioxidants are able to contrast the destructive action of free radicals in the human body (which are seriously dangerous for the cells and tissues); they carry out a basic protective and preventive function against various diseases. Free radicals are by-products of cellular metabolic processes of the body. They play an important role in a number of biological processes, some of which are necessary for life, such as the intracellular killing of bacteria. However, high quantities of free radicals could be very dangerous for the human body. Because of their extreme reactivity, free radicals can participate in deleterious side reactions resulting in cell damage. The targets of the destructive action of free radicals are the cellular components such as membrane lipids, nucleic acids and proteins. |
DURUM WHEAT BY PRODUCTS AS NATURAL SOURCES OF VALUABLE NUTRIENTS |
SCIENTIFIC REVIEW REPORT This review reports the use of wheat milling by-products for the extraction of high quality oil and vitamin E including our results on the exploitation of durum wheat bran as a valuable source of important healthful compounds. Wheat oil can be used as an ingredient in food, pharmaceutical or cosmetic preparations because it contains important bioactive compounds such as vitamin E, carotenoids and unsaturated fatty acids. Different methods are used for oil recovery from plant materials, such as solvent extraction, mechanical pressing or the ecofriendly supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction technology. By using SC-CO2, we obtained an oil from durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) bran and optimized the extraction conditions to increase oil and vitamin E yields. Wheat bran, which is composed of pericarp, aleurone layer and germ, is discarded during the early stages of durum wheat milling processes to obtain a final product (semolina) that is stable over time. Maximum oil and vitamin E yields were obtained when a durum wheat bran matrix with particle size of *30 mesh and a moisture content of 2.6 % was used. The optimal conditions for oil extraction were: 300–350 bar, 60–70 C, and 4 l min-1 gaseous CO2 flow rate for 1 h. / Mariana Durante, Marcello Lenucci, Leonardo Rescio (Pierre srl), Giovanni Mita and Sofia caretto |

THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION (vitamin E forms, carotenoids, quinones, lipids and fatty acids) of the SC-CO2 extracted oil was analyzed and compared to that of the oil extracted by Soxhlet using hexane as solvent. The findings here reported highlight the importance of durum wheat bran as a rich source of valuable natural nutrients |

IMPORTANCE
OF LYCOPENE |
|
Since the human body cannot synthesize lycopene , it must be introduced eating fruits and vegetables or dietary supplements. Most of the commercially available supplements contain lycopene which has been chemically synthesized or extracted from red-ripe tomatoes by the use of chemical solvents. In both cases, the final product contains residuals of solvents, which are toxic for the body |
|
CANCER AND FREE RADICALS Many types of cancers are probably the result of interactions between free radicals and DNA, resulting in mutations that can adversely affect the cell cycle and potentially lead to malignancy. Free radicals may also be involved in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, arthritis, diabete mellitus, dermatitis and other degenerative diseases. OXIDATION OF THE SKIN DUE TO FREE RADICALS Some of the symptoms of aging such as atherosclerosis are also attributed to the oxidation of many of the chemicals constituting the body induced by free radicals. |
|
FREE RADICALS
ARE PART OF OUR LIFE Since free radicals are required for life,
the body has a number of mechanisms to reduce their negative action and
to repair damage which does occur such as the enzymes superoxide
dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase.
These endogenous systems need to be supported by the introduction of
exogenous antioxidants with the diet which can play a key role in
strengthening these defence mechanisms. |
|
SYNTHETIC
LYCOPENE is obtained by a chemical process, which involves chemical
solvents and synthetic raw materials. This process gives a final product
containing toxic and dangerous chemicals. |

LYCOPENE SOURCES Lycopene is a carotenoid, a group of compounds present in many fresh fruits and vegetables. There are more than 750 types of carotenoids in nature; however, only 20 of these have been found in human blood and tissues. The carotenoid most often present in human blood is lycopene ,followed by b -carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin. |
|
RED RIPE TOMATOES
THE MAIN SOURCE OF LYCOPENE and their derivatives are the main natural source of
lycopene giving approximately 85% of all lycopene in the human body. The
amount of lycopene in tomatoes depends the quality of fruit, the
environment and cultivation procedures. Usually, the content of lycopene
in red-ripe tomatoes is 30-80 mg/kg of fresh product, but it could be
more than 150-300 mg/kg in some selected species obtained by traditional
hybridization techniques. |
