“…Fruits and vegetables, major sources of carotenoids and of provitamin A intake among populations (3), and in this study, vegetables make a higher contribution to vitamin A intake than fruits (37.7% vs. 18.5%), as is also observed in the Spanish (32.9% and 4.4% from vegetables and fruits, respectively) (34) and Brazilian populations (70.3% and 21.5% from vegetables and fruits, respectively) (35). Guineos (bananas) (Cavendish and Gross Michell) and plantain (Musa paradisiaca) were widely consumed, the first is mainly consumed raw and the second cooked.…”

“…This difference can be attributed to the socioeconomic level of the participants, since those in the present study were from upper middle class and those in the national survey were representative of the population and, as the socioeconomic level increases, the availability of total vitamin A is greater, and the larger the proportion of vitamin A from animal sources, something that occurs in all developed countries (e.g. in Spain, 58% of animal origen) (34).…”

“…The mean intake of α-carotene and β-carotene in this group of Dominican patients was much greater than that of the Spanish population (269.2 and 1458.9 μg/day, respectively) (34), and that observed in the United States (USA) (451 and 2,500 μg/d, respectively) (37). However, the consumption of β-cryptoxhantin in those subjects (215 µg/d), is lower than that of the Spanish population (322.4 μg/d) (34), but greater than that of the USA (82 μg/d) (37). β-cryptoxhantin intake from fruit and vegetables in these subjects is lower than that in the Brazilian population (59,8 vs. 126,2 µg/d), and that of α-carotene and β-carotene in this study (699,7 and 2538,8 μg/d, respectively), is much higher than that in the Brazilian population (162.6 and 917.5 μg/d, respectively) (35).…”

“…β-cryptoxhantin intake from fruit and vegetables in these subjects is lower than that in the Brazilian population (59,8 vs. 126,2 µg/d), and that of α-carotene and β-carotene in this study (699,7 and 2538,8 μg/d, respectively), is much higher than that in the Brazilian population (162.6 and 917.5 μg/d, respectively) (35). The amount of β-carotene present in the total diet of these subjects represents more than 2.5 times the amount consumed of the other two provitamin-A carotenoids, as occurred in the Spanish (34). In this study, β-carotene is provided mainly by vegetables (68.1%); however, α-carotene and β-cryptoxanthin are mainly supplied by fruits (60.2% and 72%, respectively), orange juice being the major contributor to the β-cryptoxanthin intake.…”

Durán-Cabral M, Fernández-Jalao I, Estévez-Santiago R, Olmedilla-Alonso B. Assessment of individual carotenoid and vitamin A dietary intake in overweight and obese Dominican subjects. AbstractIntroduction: Carotenoids are plant pigment with important biological activities in humans, such as provitamin-A among others. At present, there are no individual carotenoid intake data in the Dominican population, which is at risk of vitamin A defi ciency and has an important percentage of overweight and obese individual s.Objective: To assess the individual components of vitamin A intake (retinol, α-carotene, β-carotene and β-cryptoxanthin) and that of other relevant dietary carotenoids like lutein, zeaxanthin and lycopene of Dominican daily food intake. Methods: Fifty overweigth and obese subjects (22-69 y). Individual carotenoid intake, from whole diet and from the ingestion of fruits and vegetables, was determined using three 24 h diet recalls and a specifi c carotenoid database. Retinol, macronutrient and energy intake were calculated using DIAL ® software.

Carotenoids are natural pigments and antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables such as carrot, tomato, orange, mango, yellow corn, pumpkin, and mamey. In this study, we evaluated the antioxidant potential of mamey ( Pouteria sapota ) carotenoids and compared them to carrot ( Daucus carota ) carotenoids. The carotenoids were extracted from mamey and carrot, and their antioxidant capacity were determined via in vitro (ABTS method) and in vivo assays (resistance against oxidative stress in Caenorhabditis elegans ). The carotenoid contents in mamey and carrot were 4.42 ± 0.12 and 5.47 ± 0.04 mg β-carotene/100 g, respectively. Despite the differences between the carotenoid contents in both products (p < 0.05), the in vitro antioxidant capacity results showed no significant differences between the extracts (p > 0.05). The mamey and carrot carotenoid extracts decreased the oxidative damage in C. elegans by 20–30% and 30–40%, respectively. Both extracts increased the resistance and enhanced the survival of the nematodes, and showed better effects than pure β-carotene, probably owing to the complex mixture in the carotenoid extracts. These results suggest that mamey is a good alternative source of carotenoids and that it protects against oxidative stress in C. elegans . The protective effect of mamey carotenoids was similar to the effect of carrot carotenoids.
