Carotenoid profiling of tropical root crop chemotypes from Vanuatu, South Pacific

2010-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Tropical root and tuber crops are staple foods in developing countries where they are the main source of carbohydrates and a potential source of secondary metabolites such as carotenoids. Enhancing carotenoid content has considerable potential for improving human nutrition in these areas. Except for cassava and sweet potato, carotenoid content has not been evaluated in large germplasm collections. We describe a si...
