Biofortified sweet potatoes as a tool to combat vitamin A deficiency: Effect of food processing in carotenoid content

ABSTRACT The supply of food products that present adequate nutritional quality is extremely important for maintaining the health of the population. Thus, different techniques have been used to obtain biofortified foods, with the aim of combating malnutrition caused by the absence of essential micron...
