Sponsor's own description
Since no quantitative information currently exists on how effectively the pro-vitamin A carotenoid (pVAC) β-cryptoxanthin (βCX) is converted to vitamin A (VA) in humans, this proof of principle study aims to compare the efficacy of both βCX and β-carotene (βC) to yield VA from biofortified maize. This data is critical before the breeding strategy for biofortified maize is directed towards high βCX-containing varieties in order to reduce VA deficiency in low-income countries.
