Carotenoids are versatile isoprenoids that are important in food quality and health promotion. There is a need to establish recommended dietary intakes/nutritional reference values for carotenoids. Research on carotenoids in agro-food and health is being propelled by the two multidisciplinary international networks, the Ibero-American Network for the Study of Carotenoids as Functional Foods Ingredients (IBERCAROT; ) and the European Network to Advance Carotenoid Research and Applications in Agro-Food and Health (EUROCAROTEN; ). In this review, considerations for their safe and sustainable use in products mostly intended for health promotion are provided. Specifically, information about sources, intakes, and factors affecting bioavailability is summarized. Furthermore, their health-promoting actions and importance in public health in relation to the contribution of reducing the risk of diverse ailments are synthesized. Definitions and regulatory and safety information for carotenoid-containing products are provided. Lastly, recent trends in research in the context of sustainable healthy diets are summarized.
类胡萝卜素是多功能的类异戊二烯，在食品质量和促进健康方面具有重要意义。有必要确定类胡萝卜素的推荐膳食摄入量/营养参考值。两个多学科国际网络推动了农业食品和健康领域类胡萝卜素的研究，即伊比利亚美洲类胡萝卜素作为功能性食品成分研究网络（IBERCAROT）和欧洲推进类胡萝卜素在农业食品和健康领域研究与应用网络（EUROCAROTEN）。在本综述中，提供了关于它们在主要用于促进健康的产品中安全和可持续使用的考虑因素。具体而言，总结了有关来源、摄入量以及影响生物利用度的因素的信息。此外，综合了它们的促进健康作用以及在公共卫生方面与降低多种疾病风险贡献相关的重要性。提供了含类胡萝卜素产品的定义、监管和安全信息。最后，总结了可持续健康饮食背景下的最新研究趋势。
