Description
Giuseppina Augimeri and co-authors review in 2026 carotenoids within the Mediterranean diet, tracing them from food to health effects. The diet is rich in plant foods carrying these pigments. The review follows their plant production, release from food during digestion, absorption, and roles as intake biomarkers and redox regulators in the human body.
Cooking and eating fats alongside raise carotenoid availability by aiding micelle formation. Skin measurements and eye pigment density give noninvasive intake markers. The compounds quench singlet oxygen, scavenge free radicals, and tune redox-sensitive signaling. The authors support more study of carotenoid-rich foods in this dietary pattern.
