Asiimwe, A.Tabu, I.M.Lemaga, B.Tumwegamire, Silver[Effect of maize intercrop plant densities on yield and <beta>-carotene contents of orange-fleshed sweetpotatoes.]Effect of maize intercrop plant densities on yield and <beta>-carotene contents of orange-fleshed sweetpotatoes.

The most commonly used method for measuring carotenoid concentration is high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Nevertheless, easier, quicker, and less costly proxy methods exist. We aimed to determine the diagnostic performance of several proxy methods: the spectrophotometer, iCheck Carot...

Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is a preventable tragedy that affects millions of people, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. A large proportion of these people rely on diets based on cassava as a source of calories. During the last two decades, significant efforts have been made to identify sources o...

Background: As one of the most widely consumed foods, bread is one of the most important agricultural products. Bread made from high-quality cassava flour is consumed in some parts of Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA). The bread has no pro-vitamin S carotenoids (pVAC) due to the use of artificial colorants...

Alamu, E.O.Maziya-Dixon, B.B.Felde, T. zumKulakow, P.A.Parkes, E.Adesokan, M.[Application of Near Infra-red Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) in screening of fresh cassava (Manihot esculenta) storage roots for provitamin A carotenoids]Application of Near Infra-red Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) in screening of fresh cassava (Manihot esculenta) storage roots for provitamin A carotenoids

Dark green leafy vegetables (DGLVs) are considered as important sources of iron and vitamin A. However, iron concentration may not indicate bioaccessibility. The objectives of this study were to compare the nutrient content and iron bioaccessibility of five sweet potato cultivars, including three...


Amagloh, F.K.Atuna, R.A.McBride, R.Carey, E.E.Christides, T.[Nutrient and total polyphenol contents of dark green leafy vegetables, and estimation of their iron bioaccessibility using the In Vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell model]Nutrient and total polyphenol contents of dark green leafy vegetables, and estimation of their iron bioaccessibility using the In Vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell model

Past research developed reliable equations to base selections for high β-carotene on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) predictions (100 genotypes d−1) rather than with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (<10 samples d−1). During recent harvest, CIAT made selections based on NIR predicti...
