    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; orange-fleshed sweet potato; food processing; high-performance liquid chromatography; β-carotene; β-carotene uptake; Caco-2 cells; provitamin A carotenoids; vitamin A deficiency; iron;

    Sammanfattning : Vitamin A deficiency is a major nutritional disorder in a large number of developing countries. The disorder is mainly caused by an inadequate intake of preformed vitamin A and provitamin A carotenoids from the diet. It is also recognized that vitamin A deficiency and iron deficiency tend to coexist in many population groups. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Improving vitamin A nutrition in low-income countries. In vitro bioaccessibility of provitamin A carotenoids in biofortified orange-fleshed sweet potato

    Författare :Anton Bengtsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioaccessibility; β-carotene; biofortification; provitamin A carotenoids; coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy; vitamin A deficiency; food processing; orange-fleshed sweet potato; in vitro digestion; Caco-2 cells;

    Sammanfattning : Vitamin A deficiency is a major nutritional disorder in a large number of low-income countries that is caused by an inadequate intake of preformed vitamin A and provitamin A carotenoids in the diet. The objective of the present thesis was to evaluate orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) as a biofortified food source of provitamin A carotenoids with a potential to be included in a diet for alleviating vitamin A deficiency.

  4. 3. Technological Aspects of Preparing Porridges Made from Local Crops in Mozambique

    Författare :Irene Carvalho; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Child malnutrition; consistency; complementary porridge; developing countries; energy density; carotenoids;

    Sammanfattning : Child malnutrition is one of the major health problems in many developing countries and involves many sectors such as health, agriculture and research. Malnutrition in infants usually develops during the introduction of complementary foods, due to a deficit of nutrients, low energy density and the poor bioavailability of vitamins and minerals leading, in turn, to an increase in the risk of disease and infant mortality.
