Research Project:
VITAMIN A VALUE OF GOLDEN RICE IN A U.S. POPULATION
Location: Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging
Project Number: 1950-51000-065-04
Project Type:
Grant
Start Date: Sep 15, 2006
End Date: Mar 14, 2008
Objective:
Conduct pilot study to
1) Determine beta-carotene response kinetics following a meal of golden rice;
2) Determine retinol kinetics from the golden rice and from the labeled vitamin A dose; and
3) Determine vitamin A value of golden rice beta-carotene in adults with normal or marginal vitamin A status.
Approach:
Use high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography/electron capture negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry (GC/ECNCI-MS, to measure retinol enrichment in the circulation), and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) to determine the absorption and conversion of beta-Carotene from golden rice after consumption of cooked golden rice.
