Stable isotope dilution techniques for assessing vitamin A status and bioefficacy of provitamin A carotenoids in humans [PDF]

Public Health Nutrition, 2005
AbstractVitamin A deficiency is a major global public health problem. Among the variety of techniques that are available for assessing human vitamin A status, evaluating the provitamin A nutritional values of foodstuffs and estimating human vitamin A requirements, isotope dilution provides the most accurate estimates.

High Methoxyl Pectin Consistently Reduces β‐Carotene Bioaccessibility Across Various Gastrointestinal Digestion Conditions

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 15, 17 August 2026.
High methoxyl pectin (HMP) significantly reduced β‐carotene bioaccessibility in vitro. This was observed at various enzyme/bile concentrations and shear forces. ABSTRACT Dietary fiber could inhibit β‐carotene bioaccessibility by restricting its release from the food matrix, interfering with digestive enzyme activities, binding bile salts, or modifying ...

Vitamin A Value of Provitamin A‐Rich Fruits and Vegetables in Mongolian Gerbils

The FASEB Journal, 2009
Fruits and vegetables are rich sources of provitamin A (pro‐VA) carotenoids. We evaluated the vitamin A (VA) bioefficacy of a whole food supplement (WFS) and its constituent green vegetables (Study 1, n=77) and a variety of fruits with varying ratios of pro‐VA carotenoids (Study 2, n=77 ...

Mechanisms of provitamin A (carotenoid) and vitamin A (retinol) transport into and out of intestinal Caco-2 cells [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
The purpose of this study was to compare the mechanisms of intestinal retinol (ROL) and carotenoid transport. When differentiated Caco-2 cells were incubated with ROL for varying times, cellular ROL plateaued within 2 h, whereas retinyl ester (RE) formation increased continuously.
