Abstract

Melatonin is the essential hormone that is regularly secreted by the pineal gland of mammals on a dailybasis. Melatonin is involved in many chemical, biological and physiological bio activity period in the body. The main task of melatonin is to preserve the biological clock known as 'jet lag' and to adjust its rhythm. Melatonin has antioxidant enzymes stimulating, reducing lipid peroxidation, protecting brain tissue from oxidative damage. It also prevents the proliferation of cancer cells and tumor growth. Melatonin is a compound highly soluble in water and oil. Melatonin, a bioactive compound, is found in oranges, tomatoes, strawberries, grapes, cherries, oliveoil, rice, barley and walnuts and in some medicinal and aromatic plants that constitute the source of functional food and pharmaceutical raw materials consumed for health.. The purpose of this review is to contribute to healthy nutrition and life by examining studies investigating the importance of melatonin, its functional properties, profile in foods, and the effect of food processing on melatonin content.

Özet

Melatonin memelilerin pineal bezi tarafından günlük olarak düzenli şekilde salgılanan temel hormondur. Melatonin, vücutta birçok kimyasal, biyolojik ve fizyolojik faaliyette yer almaktadır. Melatoninin asıl görevi ‘Jet lag’ olarak bilinen biyolojik saatin korunması ve ritminin ayarlanmasıdır. Melatonin antioksidan enzimleri uyarıcı, lipit peroksidasyonunu azaltıcı, beyin dokusunu oksidatif hasardan koruyucu etkiye sahiptir. Ayrıca kanser hücrelerinin çoğalmasını, tümör büyümesini engellemektedir. Melatonin suda ve yağda çözünürlüğü oldukça yüksek bir bileşiktir. Biyoaktif bir bileşik olan melatonin; portakal, domates, çilek, üzüm, kiraz, zeytinyağı, pirinç, arpa, ceviz ve sağlığa yönelik tüketilen fonksiyonel gıda ve ilaç hammaddelerinin kaynağını teşkil eden bazı tıbbi ve aromatik bitkilerde farklı bileşimlerde bulunmaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı melatoninin önemi, fonksiyonel özellikleri, gıdalardaki profili ve gıda işlemenin melatonin içeriğine etkisi konularını araştıran çalışmaları inceleyerek sağlıklı beslenme ve yaşama katkı sağlamaktır.
