Abstract

V diplomskem delu smo opisali vsebnosti furanokumarinov v različnih vrstah zelenjave in sadja ter kateri dejavniki vplivajo na povečanje njihove vsebnosti in kakšno tveganje predstavljajo za zdravje. Na podlagi dosedanjih raziskav smo ugotovili, da imajo največje vsebnosti furanokumarinov predstavniki iz družin Apiacae in Rutaceae, predvsem zelena, pastinak in citrusi. Pomembna tehnološka pristopa, ki sledita pridelavi, sta pravilno skladiščenje in predelava pridelka, saj se ob neustrezni temperaturi skladiščenja in poškodbah tkiva vsebnosti furanokumarinov znatno povečajo. Preučevanje furanokumarinov je zelo pomembno, saj se vsakodnevno znajdejo na našem jedilniku in imajo neposredne vplive na zdravje ljudi. Nekatere študije navajajo njihovo rakotvornost in pojav fitofotodermatitisa, pri čemer je najbolj skrb vzbujajoča njihova hitra absorpcija in porazdelitev po telesu. Glede na nekatere študije, opravljene na živalih, naj bi se furanokumarini v plazmi pojavili že po 2–15 minutah, in sicer z možnostjo detekcije v jetrih, ledvicah, nadledvičnih žlezah, krvi, črevesju, maščobi, mišicah in koži. Spet druge študije navajajo njihove pozitivne učinke pri zdravljenju nekaterih oblik raka.

Secondary title: Presence of furanocoumarins in vegetables and fruit and their effect on human health
Secondary abstract: In diploma thesis, we have described the content of furanocoumarins in different types of vegetables and fruit, which factors influence the increase in their content and what risk they pose to health. Previous studies show that the highest content of furanocoumarins is found in the families of Apiacae and Rutaceae, mainly celery, parsnip and citrus fruits. Important technological approaches that follow cultivation are proper storage and processing of the crop since in the event of an inappropriate storage temperature and tissue damage the content of furanocoumarins increases considerably. Study of furanocoumarins is very significant since they are found on our menu daily and have direct effects on human health. Some studies indicate their carcinogenicity and occurrence of phytophotodermatitis, in this respect the most alarming being their rapid absorption and distribution across the body. According to some studies conducted on animals furanocoumarins appear in plasma after 2 to 15 minutes and are possible to detect in liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, blood, intestines, fat, muscles and skin. On the other hand some studies indicate their positive effects in treatment of certain forms of cancer.
