Identification of Enzymatic Cleavage Products of -Carotene-Rich Extracts of Kale and Biofortified Maize.

Provitamin A carotenoids in plant foods provide more than 80% of vitamin A intake for people in developing countries. Therefore, the conversion efficiency of -carotene to vitamin A is important, as it determines the effectiveness of plant foods as sources of vitamin A in humans. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of plant food antioxidants such as -tocopherol, -tocopherol, -tocotrienol, -tocotrienol and total -oryzanol on the cleavage of -carotene in vitro.

Getting the food list 'right': an approach for the development of nutrition-relevant food lists for household consumption and expenditure surveys.

Objective: The present paper aimed to demonstrate how 24 h dietary recall data can be used to generate a nutrition-relevant food list for household consumption and expenditure surveys (HCES) using contribution analysis and stepwise regression.

Design: The analysis used data from the 2011/12 Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey (BIHS), which is nationally representative of rural Bangladesh. A total of 325 primary sampling units (PSU=village) were surveyed through a two-stage stratified sampling approach.

Nutrition disparities and the global burden of malnutrition.

Strategies to tackle stunting, obesity, and micronutrient deficiencies must take into account the inequities in which these diseases are rooted, argue

Peanut butter increases the bioavailability and bioconversion of kale β-carotene to vitamin A.

Background And Objectives: Kale is a rich source of provitamin A- β-carotene. This study used intrinsically labeled kale [2H9] β-carotene to determine the effect of peanut butter on the bioconversion of kale β-carotene to vitamin A in preschool children.

Methods And Study Design: Preschool children (n=37; age 12-36 mo) were randomly assigned to 50 g cooked kale (1.
