Description

Plant foods are the major source of vitamin A for most of the world's poor population, but low bioefficacy of provitamin A carotenoids from these foods severely limits the supply of vitamin A. Enhancement of this bioefficacy is required to increase the efficacy and effectiveness of dietary interventions aimed at controlling vitamin A deficiency disorders in developing countries
