Carotenoid content of pandanus fruit cultivars and other foods of the Republic of Kiribati
Background Kiribati, a remote atoll island country of the Pacific, has serious problems of vitamin A deficiency (VAD). Thus, it is important to identify locally grown acceptable foods that might be promoted to alleviate this problem. Pandanus fruit ( Pandanus tectorius ) is a well-liked indigenous Kiribati food with many cultivars that have orange/yellow flesh, indicative of carotenoid content. Few have been previously analysed. Aim This study wa…
Vitamin A Intake and Factors Influencing it Amongst Children and Caretakers in Kosrae, Micronesia
