The conversion of beta-carotene into vitamin A. The relationship between the vitamin A activity of the yellow carotenes of plants and the colorless growth factor in liver oils became clearer after Moore demonstrated that carotene was metabolized in the animal body to form vitamin A, w... J Gl...
Seventy edible wild forest green leafy vegetables (GLV) collected and consumed by tribals of Andhra Pradesh, India were analyzed for total carotenoids (TC) and beta carotene (BC) contents using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The vitamin A activity expressed as retinol equivalents (RE...
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to determine the vitamin A equivalence of spirulina beta-carotene in humans. DESIGN: Spirulina was grown in a 23 atom% (2)H(2)O cultural solution. Spirulina beta-carotene showed the greatest enrichment as [(2)H(10)]trans beta-carotene. Ten ...
The cleavage of β-carotene yields two molecules of vitamin A. To create the first generation of golden rice, gene delivery was used to introduce an entire biosynthetic pathway into the plant cells using promoters that are specific to the endosperm (Figure 18.10). The endosperm was chosen ...
In addition, the research team of Dr. Lietz furnished the first indications that approximately 40 percent of all Europeans possess a gene variant that restricts the amount of beta-carotene their bodies can convert into vitamin A. Many experts doubt that the current conversion factor of 1:6 (to...

The present study was carried out to determine the conversion factor of synthetic (2)H-labelled beta-carotene to vitamin A in Chinese adults by using a stable-isotope dilution technique. Fifteen healthy volunteers aged 50-60 years were recruited for a 55 d ...

non-absorbable fat and can therefore be utilized by the body. Fortification of products containing the non-digestible, non-absorbable fat with the water-soluble, bioavailable form of beta-carotene requires a lower usage level of the vitamin precursor to offset the effects of lowered serum levels,...
