CONCLUSIONS
� β-cryptoxanthin and/or main dietary phytosterols (alone and
in combination) reduced cell growth of colon cancer Caco-2
cells up to 44% due to apoptosis, possibly through the
mitochondrial pathway
� No clear dose-response was observed, neither additive nor� No clear dose-response was observed, neither additive nor
synergistic effect for mixtures, but they retain the same
antiproliferative activity as individual compounds indicating
absence of antagonistic actions
� The effects were obtained with concentrations compatible
with physiological serum levels in humans and with reported
bioavailability of these phytochemicals after regular
consumption of a beverage containing a mix of all these
molecules
FUTURE RESEARCH
Functional beverages
containing phytosterols and
β-cryptoxanthin
Colon cancer (Caco-2 cells)
• In vitro gastrointestinal digestion• In vitro colonic fermentation
