DTA
DTA, or Dried Tomato Antioxidant, typically refers to the measurement of antioxidant compounds preserved in dried tomatoes. Antioxidants are natural molecules that help protect your cells from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals. By drying tomatoes, many of their beneficial antioxidants, like lycopene, are concentrated, making dried tomatoes a rich source of these health-promoting compounds. DTA provides a way to assess the antioxidant strength and health benefits of dried tomatoes, helping consumers and producers understand their nutritional value and potential role in supporting overall health.
