2016

Dietary and human factors have been found to be the major factors in?uencing the bioavailability of micronutrients, such as provitamin A carotenoid (pVAC), iron, and zinc, in bioforti?ed crops. Dietary factors are related to food matrix structure and composition. Processing can improve pVAC bioavailability by disrupting the food matrix but can also result in carotenoid losses. By degrading ...
