- Abstract
- This research studies tomatoes grown in polluted
soils to ascertain their phytochemical and nutritive
features. Pulp and seeds from tomatoes grown in muddy
soils were analyzed for their antioxidant power and their
toxicity because of the possibility that heavy metals
were present in the soils. An antioxidant assay on
methanol extracts was made by using DDPH, while an
ABTS [2,2?-Azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic
acid)] assay was used to evaluate the antioxidant activity
of lipophilic fractions. Results of the antioxidant
assay showed that the tomatoes maintained a high level
of antioxidant activity especially in the lipophilic fractions
which contain the most representative compounds.
Cytotoxic activity was performed on HeLa, PDAC, and
A375 cell lines by [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-phenyl-
2H-tetrazolium bromide] (MTT) assay. Results
showed that neither the seeds, nor the pulp, of the
extracts was cytotoxic. The presence of heavy metals
was evaluated by using spectroscopy of atomic absorption
with a graphite oven. Test results show the absence
of heavy metals and these results have an interesting
scientific role because they provide useful information
for promoting food safety. (literal)
