    Sammanfattning : Carrots are a cold-weather crop well suited for cultivation in the south of Sweden. Carrots are generally rather inexpensive, with a market price below € 1 /kg (Sweden, 2003), whereas fresh carrot juice has a price of around € 5 /kg. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Provitamin A Carotenoids in Orange-Fleshed Sweet Potato

    Författare :Anton Bengtsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    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

  7. 5. Content and In Vitro Accessibility of Provitamin. A Carotenoids in Some Tanzanian Vegetables and Fruits Effects of Traditional Processing and Preparation, and Influence on Vitamin A Status

    Författare :Generose Ishengoma Mulokozi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
