Abstract

The natural red pigment compound of tomato is lycopene which is responsible for red pigment in some fruits and vegetables. We have determined the lycopene concentration from the measured absorbance in fresh tomatoes with and without peel with different concentrations using spectrophotometric method. The measured lycopene contents vary from 3 to 33.5 mg/kg for spectral range of 444 to 560 nm. For qualitative analyses, optical coherence tomography (OCT) was utilized for vital visualization of plant tissues in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill). The obtained OCT slices permitted the morphological and practical condition of plant tissues to be surveyed in vitro. The OCT technique permitted plant morphological structures to be related to more prominent confidence. The morphological and practical condition of tissues can be checked with a time resolution of 1–4 s in intact plants, without expelling them from the habitat.

快速无创的生物光子技术用于番茄和番茄制品中番茄红素的形态和功能状态研究

摘要

番茄的天然红色素化合物是番茄红素，番茄红素是某些水果和蔬菜中的红色素。我们使用分光光度法从带皮和不带皮的新鲜番茄中测得的吸光度确定了番茄红素的浓度。对于444至560nm的光谱范围，测得的番茄红素含量为3至33.5mg / kg。对于定性分析，光学相干断层扫描（OCT）用于番茄（Lycopersicon esculentum Mill）中植物组织的生命可视化。所获得的OCT切片可以对植物组织的形态和实际条件进行体外调查。OCT技术使植物形态结构与更突出的可信度相关。完整植物的组织形态和实用条件可以在1到4 s的时间分辨率下进行检查，而不必将它们从栖息地中驱逐出去。
