The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of commercially available global traditional seasonings on the thermal Z-isomerization of tomato lycopene. On heating at 80 °C for 1 h, the total Z-isomer content of lycopene present in tomato puree containing 5% olive oil increased from 5.5% to 32.3%. When several seasonings were individually added to the mixture of tomato puree and 5% olive oil, the thermal Z-isomerization of lycopene was significantly increased. For instance, when 10% jerk sauce, tapenade, and Dijon mustard were added to the tomato mixture, the total Z-isomer content following heating increased to 58.7%, 50.2%, and 47.3%, respectively. The results indicated that certain food ingredients like escallion (Allium fistulosum L.), caper (Capparis spinosa L.), and mustard (Brassica juncea L.) have a Z-isomerization promoting effect. In addition, when heating was performed in the absence of those seasonings, the 13Z-isomer was mainly increased. On the other hand, in the presence of the above seasonings, the 5Z-isomer, which has higher functionality and storage stability than other Z-isomers, was significantly increased. Our finding that some seasonings have a Z-isomerization promoting effect is applicable to the production of tomato-based dishes containing higher proportions of lycopene Z-isomers, which have greater bioavailability.

1. Introduction Tomatoes are one of the most popular vegetables in the world and the daily consumption of tomato-rich foods offers multiple health benefits, such as decreased risk of several cancers and atherosclerosis (Capanoglu, Beekwilder, Boyacioglu, De Vos, & Hall, 2010). Lycopene (C40H56) is an acyclic carotenoid with 11 conjugated double bonds and plays a major role in the above health promoting benefits (Perveen et al., 2015). However, the bioavailability of carotenoids including lycopene is very low. For example, Ryan, O'Connell, O'Sullivan, Aherne, and O'Brien (2008) reported that the lycopene bioavailability of raw and cooked tomatoes was less than 10%, as evaluated using an in vitro digestion model. Recently, the use of Z-isomerization of carotenoids to increase their bioavailability has been studied extensively (Honda et al., 2019b). To illustrate, the oral administration of tangerine tomato juice (total Z-isomer content of lycopene: 94%) and red tomato juice (total Zisomer content of lycopene: 10%) in humans clearly showed that the



lycopene bioavailability of the tangerine tomato juice was approximately 8.5 times higher than that of the red tomato juice (Cooperstone et al., 2015). Furthermore, many in vitro and in vivo studies have indicated that Z-isomers of lycopene were more bioavailable than the allE-isomer (Honda, Maeda, Fukaya, & Goto, 2018a; Honda et al., 2019b). Tomatoes are often used as a seasoning throughout the world, especially in Europe. In addition, tomatoes are highly compatible with other seasonings and are commonly combined, e.g., pizza sauce with tomatoes and tapenade, pasta sauce with tomatoes and colatura di alici, and dipping sauce with tomatoes and aioli, which have traditionally consumed in Europe. Recent researches indicated that certain food ingredients, such as onion (Allium cepa L.) (Rinaldi de Alvarenga et al., 2017; Honda et al., 2019; Yu, Gleize, Zhang, Caris-Veyrat, & Renard, 2019) and garlic (Allium sativum L.) (Honda et al., 2018b), enhance the thermal Z-isomerization of (all-E)-lycopene in tomatoes. However, the effects of the presence of different seasonings on the thermal Z-isomerization of lycopene have not been investigated. Here, we

investigated the effects of the addition of 35 commercially available global traditional seasonings on the thermal Z-isomerization of (all-E)lycopene in tomato puree. The results from the present study are expected to have significant implications in formulating tasty and healthy home cooking recipes using tomatoes with significantly higher lycopene bioavailability. 2. Materials and methods 2.1. Materials Tomato puree (lycopene content, 12 mg/100 g; total Z-isomer content, 5.5%) and pure olive oil were purchased from Kagome Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan) and Nisshin Oillio Group, Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan), respectively. The seasonings used in this study are summarized in Supplementary Material Table S1 along with the main materials and suppliers. Analytical-grade acetone was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Co., Ltd. (Poole, Dorset, UK) and HPLC-grade hexane was purchased from Kanto Chemical Co., Inc. (Tokyo, Japan). N,N-Diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) was purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan). 2.2. Thermal Z-isomerization of lycopene The samples were prepared so that the ratio of tomato puree, seasoning, and olive oil was 85:10:5 (w/w/w). As vegetable oils act as a mediator of the E/Z-isomerization reaction of carotenoids, 5% olive oil was added to the mixture (Honda et al., 2017b). The mixture was homogenized using a food processor and an approximately 20-g sample was transferred to a 100-mL screw-capped glass bottle. The headspace was then purged with nitrogen gas and the glass bottle was tightly capped immediately to minimize oxygen exposure and prevent water evaporation. Thermal treatment was carried out in a water bath at 80 °C for 1 h in the dark. 2.3. Lycopene extraction Fig. 1. Normal-phase HPLC chromatograms of (A) untreated tomato puree and thermally treated tomato puree (B) containing 5% olive oil, (C) 5% olive oil and 10% Dijon mustard, and (D) 5% olive oil and 10% jerk sauce at 80 °C for 1 h (5Z)-, (9Z)-, and (13Z)-Lycopene designated in the chromatograms were identified according to previous studies (Hengartner, U., Bernhard, K., Meyer, K., Englert, G., & Glinz, 1992; (Honda et al., 2015b) and 2017a). The peaks (1–15) were tentatively identified as shown in Table 1.

Lycopene isomers were extracted from thermally treated samples using acetone according to a previously described method (Honda et al., 2017b). In brief, 1 g of the sample was weighed and added to 30 mL of acetone. The extraction was performed by sonication for 10 min at < 10 °C to prevent E/Z-isomerization during the extraction. The extraction residue was removed by vacuum filtration using filter paper (number 2; Advantec Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) and the residue was rinsed by acetone until the filtrate was colorless. Subsequently, the extraction solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the extract containing lycopene isomers was obtained. The extract was dissolved in 10 mL of hexane and filtered through a 0.22-μm PTFE membrane filter (Osaka Chemical Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan) for analysis using normal-phase HPLC.

2.4. HPLC analysis

2.5. Statistical analysis

The profile of lycopene isomers was analysed by normal-phase HPLC (Shimadzu Prominence system; Shimadzu Co., Ltd., Kyoto, Japan) with three Nucleosil 300-5 columns connected in tandem (3 × 250 mm length, 4.6 mm inner diameter, 5 mm particle size; GL Sciences Inc., Tokyo, Japan) and a diode array detector (SPD-M20A; Shimadzu Co., Ltd., Kyoto, Japan) according to a previous method (Honda et al., 2017b). Hexane containing 0.075% of DIPEA was used as the mobile phase. The column temperature and the mobile phase flow rate were maintained at 35 °C and 1 mL/min, respectively. Quantification of lycopene isomers in the samples was performed using peak area integration at 460 nm, where the differences in the molar extinction coefficients among the isomers are relatively small (Honda et al., 2015b and 2017a). The peaks of lycopene isomers were identified by

All data were collected in triplicate and are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. For the studies of the effect of food ingredients and catalysts on the thermal Z-isomerization of lycopene, Dunnett's test (p < 0.05 or p < 0.001) was used to evaluate statistical significance compared to the control group using JMP software (version 14.1.0; SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). 3. Results and discussion 3.1. Profile of lycopene isomers obtained after thermal treatment Representative chromatograms of the untreated and thermally treated samples are shown in Fig. 1.

seasoning (control), the total Z-isomer content increased to 32.3%. On the other hand, some seasonings significantly enhanced Z-isomerization. For example, when pickled caper and kneaded wasabi were added, the total Z-isomer content was found to be more than twice that of the control. The results indicated that caper (Capparis spinosa L.) and wasabi (Eutrema japonicum) enhanced thermal Z-isomerization. Thus, the presence of caper in tapenade is probably a major reason for the enhanced thermal Z-isomerization. Caper has traditionally been used in tomato dishes; however, this is the first report that caper enhances the thermal Z-isomerization of lycopene. Thermal Z-isomerization was notably promoted when jerk sauce, which is traditionally used in Jamaica, was added. The main constituent of this seasoning is escallion (Allium fistulosum L.), which is likely to be one of the causal food ingredients having a Z-isomerization promoting effect of (all-E)-lycopene. Several studies also reported that the food ingredients of Allium plants, such as onion and garlic, enhance the thermal Z-isomerization of lycopene (Rinaldi de Alvarenga et al., 2017; Honda et al., 2018b; Yu et al., 2019). Furthermore, seasonings that contain garlic as the main ingredient, such as black bean sauce, aioli, and gochujang (Table S1), promoted the thermal Z-isomerization of (all-E)-lycopene. These results indicate that most Allium plants can enhance this process. Dijon mustard, which contains mustard (Brassica juncea L.) as the main component, exhibited the Z-isomerization promoting effect. A few studies have also indicated that Brassica plants, such as broccoli and cabbage, promote thermal isomerization of (all-E)-lycopene (Honda et al., 2019; Takemura, Honda, & Fukaya, 2019). In addition, some fish sauces such as nuocmam and shottsuru, yeast extracts such as marmite and vegemite, and cooking liquors such as mirin and red wine enhanced thermal Z-isomerization. The relative proportion of the 5Z-isomer, which is characterized by high functionality and storage stability among the Z-isomers (Honda et al., 2018a; Müller et al., 2011; Murakami et al., 2018), is shown in Fig. 2B. The 5Z-isomer content following heating was generally consistent with an increased degree of the total Z-isomer content. Of the 35 seasonings investigated, the top five that promoted 5Z-isomerization of lycopene following heating were as follows: jerk sauce (18.3%) > pickled caper (16.6%) > kneaded wasabi (16.2%) > tapenade (12.4%) > black bean sauce (10.7%) (Supplementary Table S2). From the above results, some causative components that promote thermal Z-isomerization can be deduced. We recently reported that

lycopene content in the sample was detected to be in all-E-configuration (Fig. 1A), whereas the percentage of Z-isomers increased following heating at 80 °C for 1 h (Fig. 1B), as described in previous reports (Honda et al., 2017b and 2017c). The addition of some seasonings such as jerk sauce and Dijon mustard clearly enhanced the thermal Z-isomerization and substantially changed the lycopene isomer profile in comparison to the profile in the absence of seasonings (see details in section 3.2.) (Fig. 1C and D). (13Z)-Lycopene was mainly increased in the thermally treated sample without seasoning (Fig. 1B, Table S2). On the other hand, the 9Z- and 5Z-isomers were predominantly increased in the presence of certain seasonings (Fig. 1C and D, Table S2). Several studies have shown that, among lycopene isomers, (5Z)-lycopene is likely to have higher bioavailability and antioxidant activity than the other isomers (Honda et al., 2018a; Müller et al., 2011). Moreover, the 5Z-isomer has the highest storage stability of the mono-Z-isomers and its stability is similar to the all-E-isomer (Honda et al., 2017a; Murakami et al., 2018). Namely, (13Z)- and (9Z)-lycopene are isomerized to the all-E-isomer during storage under the influence of heat and light, whereas (5Z)-lycopene is stable against heat and light (Murakami et al., 2018). To expand product storage life is essential from an industrial viewpoint and thus, it is very important to clarify the seasoning(s) that can increase the 5Z-isomer. Since (5Z)-lycopene has the highest activation energy (Ea) from the all-E-isomer to the mono-Zisomers (Honda et al., 2017a), its production from the all-E-isomer requires significant thermal energy. However, the addition of several seasonings, such as jerk sauce, resulted in the 5Z-isomer being the predominant Z-isomer produced (Fig. 1 D). This suggests that such seasonings are likely to contain catalysts like iron(III) chloride and diallyl disulfide, which lower the activation energy (Ea) for the production of (5Z)-lycopene from the all-E-isomer (Honda et al., 2018b; Honda, Kawana, Takehara, & Inoue, 2015a; Yu et al., 2019). 3.2. Effect of seasonings on thermal Z-isomerization of tomato lycopene The impact of 35 commercially available global traditional seasonings (Table S1) on thermal Z-isomerization of (all-E)-lycopene contained in tomato puree was investigated. After heating at 80 °C for 1 h, lycopene was not decomposed to any significant extent. (Table S2). The total Z-isomer content of lycopene following heating is shown in Fig. 2A. When the thermal treatment was performed in the absence of

dissolved in ethanol (0.6 mg/L at 20 °C; Murakami et al., 2017). Our findings on the effect of the addition of seasonings on the thermal Zisomerization of lycopene are important, not only for the food and beverage manufacturing industries, but also for developing more nutritious home cooking recipes.

diallyl disulfide, which is frequently found in plants of the Allium species, enhanced thermal Z-isomerization of (all-E)-lycopene (Honda et al., 2018b). Thus, it is thought that polysulfides would be a causative component of the seasonings containing escallion (Allium fistulosum L.) and garlic (Allium sativum L.), e.g., jerk sauce and aioli. Moreover, disulfide compounds are produced by the Maillard reaction (Xu, Liu, Zhao, & Gao, 2008). Since the Maillard reaction occurs during the fermentation of fish sauce and yeast extract, the causative components of those seasonings are suggested to be the disulfide compounds. In fact, several studies have reported that fish sauce (nam-pla) and yeast extract contain diallyl disulphide (Lin et al., 2014; Yongsawatdigul, Rodtong, & Raksakulthai, 2007). This study revealed that caper, wasabi, and mustard might promote the Z-isomerization reaction. Our recent study shows that isothiocyanates promote the thermal Z-isomerization of (allE)-lycopene (Honda et al., 2019), and these food ingredients commonly contain considerable quantities of isothiocyanates such as allyl isothiocyanate and benzyl isothiocyanate (Jordt et al., 2004). Thus, it is proposed that the presence of isothiocyanates accounts for the ability of pickled caper, kneaded wasabi, tapenade, and Dijon mustard to promote the thermal Z-isomerization of (all-E)-lycopene. Cooking alcohols also promoted this process, with ethanol being one of the causative components. Several studies have reported that the presence of a mediator(s), i.e., organic solvents and oils, enhanced thermal Z-isomerization of (all-E)-carotenoids (Honda et al., 2015b and 2017b). Namely, E/Z-isomerization reaction of carotenoids is more facile in a dissolved state. Although the solubility is low, (all-E)-lycopene can be

4. Conclusions The effect of 35 global traditional seasonings on thermal Z-isomerization of (all-E)-lycopene contained in tomato puree was investigated. Several seasonings, e.g., jerk sauce, tapenade, aioli, and Dijon mustard, notably promoted the Z-isomerization. We attribute this to the presence of causal food ingredients such as escallion (Allium fistulosum L.), caper (Capparis spinosa L.), garlic (Allium sativum L.), and mustard (Brassica juncea L.), which contain disulfide compounds and isothiocyanates that lower the activation energy, and therefore, enhance the Z-isomerization process. These findings are important, not only for the production of high value-added processed tomato products, but also for optimal nutrition when cooking at home.
