This review article points out that bananas are an important food for many people in the world. Thus, banana cultivars rich in provitamin A carotenoids may offer a potential food source for alleviating vitamin A deficiency, particularly in developing countries. Many factors are associated with the ...
Natural colouring substances include carotenoids that provide a spectrum of yellow and orange colours (carrot, citrus fruit skin), flavonoids that give products blue and navy-blue colours (grapes, currants, chokeberry, elder), betalains that give products a red colour (beetroot, capsicum), and ...
Landrace orange maize is rich in carotenoids and is thought to be a potentially sustainable solution for Vitamin A deficiency. This study evaluated the acceptability of landrace orange maize food products amon... Alex Arves Katola, Aliza Hannah Stark, Victoria Uchizi Ndolo, David Tryson Tembo and...
Essential oils possess antimicrobial properties that allow them to act as food preservatives because their molecules contain a variety of active natural chemical compounds like terpenes, carotenoids, curcumins, and coumarins just to name a few.
are highly preferred in soft drinks, candies, bakery products etc. which carries some adverse effects on human health such as allergic reactions, hyperactivity, carcinoma etc. An alternative is to use natural food colorant/additive from natural sources in the form of carotenoids which can be ...
The orange-fleshed sweet potato is rich in carotenoids, which can potentially be used as a natural food colorant. However, effective and safe extraction techniques are needed. The carotenoid extraction of deep orange-fleshed cultivar (Beta 1) at different moisture contents of fresh tubers using ...
Other nutraceuticals made by engineered microbes have been reviewed elsewhere21, and the list includes omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols such as resveratrol and naringenin, carotenoids such as beta-carotene or Astaxanthin, and non-proteinogenic amino acids such as GABA and beta-alanine. Other ...
