Batata-doce biofortificada como alternativa no combate à deficiência de vitamina a em crianças

Abstract: A fome oculta ocorre quando o consumo e/ou absorção de micronutrientes é insuficiente para sustentar o correto desenvolvimento. A carência de vitamina A pode causar deficiência visual, aumento do risco de desenvolvimento de doenças graves e morte em crianças. O β‑caroteno (precursor da vitamina A) é um carotenoide presente em cultivares de batata-doce biofortificadas (BDB), que apresentam polpa alaranjada. Foram investigados materiais de domínio público, em bases de dados digitais, buscando assuntos relacion… Show more

“…Most of the ethnovarieties presented white pulp, except for Matrinxã, which has a different aspect in the pulp coloration and is similar to the color of a fish (Table 3). The yellow coloration is related to carotenoid contents, especially β-carotene, which is a precursor of vitamin A and represents a nutritional benefit (Fagundes et al 2021). The genetic breeding programs of cassava for cooking are focused on the selection of varieties with this characteristic, and aim at the nutritional improvement of the reserve roots (Silva et al 2014).…”

“…The number of ethnovarieties sampled in this study confirms this fact, since a significant number of ethnovarieties has been cultivated for less than 5 years, i.e., they have been recently introduced into the community. Oler &Amorozo (2017) andFigueredo et al (2019) emphasize the importance of this flow of setts, which guarantees the expansion of the collection through new introductions and also guarantees the genetic variability of the species. This suggests that the inclusion of setts followed by clonal propagation is important for the maintenance and expansion of genetic diversity in cultivated varieties (Alves-Pereira et al 2017).…”
