Boosting Levels Of Healthful Nutrients In Watermelon

Article continues below and (thank you)
 
Whole watermelons stored at 70 degrees F. -- roughly room temperature in air-conditioned environs -- have substantially more healthful nutrients than refrigerated melons, U. S. Department of Agriculture scientists report. Watermelon is a rich source of carotenoid compounds, natural antioxidants linked to a variety of health benefits. Watermelon contains higher levels of lycopene, for instance, than any other fresh fruit or vegetable. That red pigment is found in only a few other foods, notably tomatoes.

Penelope Perkins-Veazie and Julie K. Collins realized that there was no data on changes in lycopene and other carotenoids in watermelon during storage. They analyzed carotenoid content in several popular varieties of watermelon stored for 14 days at 70 degrees, 55 degrees and 41 degrees. Their findings are scheduled for the Aug. 9 issue of the ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Compared to freshly-picked fruit, watermelon stored at 70 degrees gained 11 percent to 40 percent in lycopene and 50 percent to 139 percent in beta carotene. Carotenoids in watermelon stored at lower temperatures, in contrast, remained about the same.
