Cassava is an ideal vehicle for delivering provitamin A carotenoids to human populations affected by deficiency of this important micronutrient. Rapid cycling recurrent selection has proven to be very effective increasing carotenoids levels in cassava. The maximum level of total carotenoids incre...

New approaches for quantifying carotenoids content in cassava roots
Nine yellow root and one white root cassava genotypes were evaluated in ten environments in Ghana for the variability of their beta carotene content in root. The aim was to identify cassava genotypes that have high beta carotene content in storage root to combat the widespread vitamin A deficienc...

Impact of processing on the stability and bioaccessibility of Provitamin A Carotenoids in biofortified cassava roots (Manihot esculanta, Crantz)
Cassava is currently the third most important source of calories in the tropics and consumed as a staple food. Several cassava varieties have yellow flesh color, and contain moderate amounts of carotenoid or beta-carotene which is a precursor of vitamin A. Consumption of carotene rich foods is th...
