Understanding retention of carotenoids after different processing methods is important. This study was conducted to quantify dry matter content and carotenoids found in different sections of the cassava roots from six clones and to assess true retention of carotenoids after 30 min of boiling. Ret...

Rapid-cycling recurrent selection has been implemented to produce cassava varieties that deliver provitamin A carotenoids to human populations that are affected by vitamin A deficiency. Rapid-cycling
selection relies on quantification in just one plant per genotype. This study was conducted to a...

Peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) has had a central place in the livelihoods of people in
the Americas since pre-Columbian times, notably for its edible fruits and multi-purpose
wood. The botanical taxon includes both domesticated and wild varieties. Domesticated var
gasipaes is believed to der...
