Spectroelectrochemical Studies of Interactions between Vitamin A and Nanocolloidal Silver
The electrochemical stability of retinyl palmitate (RP) known as Vitamin A in mixed water/ethyl alcohol solutions containing NaCl or NaNO3, in the absence and presence of silver nanoparticles (nAg) was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) recorded on ...

An Encapsulated Vitamin A Palmitate Powder With Improved Stability for Use in Food Fortification
Food fortification is hindered by the instability of vitamin A. Encapsulating vitamin A palmitate (VAP) in a basic methacrylate copolymer (BMC) and spray drying to form PFH‐VAP resulted in a substantial stability advantage over comparator material when incorporated into bouillon and stored at 40°C/75% RH.

Lipoprotein lipase expression level influences tissue clearance of chylomicron retinyl ester
Approximately 25% of postprandial retinoid is cleared from the circulation by extrahepatic tissues. Little is known about physiologic factors important to this uptake. We hypothesized that lipoprotein lipase (LpL) contributes to extrahepatic clearance of

In Zambia, mandatory sugar fortification with vitamin A has been implemented, but its impact on vitamin A intake and status is uncertain. Modelling of dietary data from lactating women suggests that the potential impacts of sugar fortification on VA intakes are limited if the programme is not implemented as planned.
