“…Similarly to what was seen in the unripe pulp, eight ripe pulp of the analyzed cultivars showed higher mean β-carotene concentrations than those of α-carotene (Table 1), which was also observed by Englberger et al (2003;2010), Ekesa et al (2012) and Lokesh et al (2014) (cultivars not evaluated in this current study). However, Wall (2006) and Newilah et al (2009) found higher á-carotene concentrations than those of β-carotene (cultivars not evaluated in this study).…”

Este estudo objetivou caracterizar a dinâmica, além das mudanças estruturais e florísticas em uma comunidade arbAvaliou-se a ocorrência e aconcentração de carotenoides na polpa e na casca dos frutos de 14 cultivares de bananeira e um de plátano em dois estádios de maturação. Luteína, α-caroteno, β-caroteno, β-criptoxantina e licopeno foram quantificados por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (CLAE), carotenoides totais por espectrofotometria. Na polpa verde, a banana 'Ouro' destacou-se com concentração de luteína 13 vezes maior que a da 'Marmelo'. Para α-caroteno e β-caroteno, o plátano 'Terrinha' se destacou com concentração média de 1.195,30 e 1.126,11 µg (100 g MF -1 ), respectivamente. Os carotenoides totais oscilaram de 159,66 a 2.553,51 µg (100 g MF -1 ), para 'Caipira' e 'Terrinha', respectivamente. Na polpa madura, houve acréscimo de 36% no teor médio de luteína em relação à polpa verde e redução de 7,3 e 8,5% nos teores médios de α-caroteno e de β-caroteno, respectivamente. A concentração média de carotenoides totais na polpa madura foi 17% superior à da polpa verde. Na casca verde houve predominância da luteína, embora a 'Terrinha' tenha se destacado com concentrações de α-caroteno e β-caroteno superior às dos demais cultivares. A concentração de luteína praticamente não se alterou com o amadurecimento dos frutos, no entanto houve discreta redução nas concentrações de α-caroteno e β-caroteno.Palavras-chave: Musa spp.; provitamina A; luteína; α-caroteno; β-caroteno. ABSTRACT RESUMOCarotenoids in the pulp and peel of bananas from 15 cultivars in two ripening stages 1 The current study aims to evaluate the occurrence and concentration of carotenoids in the pulp and peel of 14 banana and one plantain cultivars in two ripening stages. We analyzed the occurrence and content of lutein, α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, and lycopene -by high performance liquid chromatography with UV-visible detection, the content of total carotenoids by spectrophotometry. In the unripe pulp, the 'Ouro' cultivar stood out with lutein concentration 13 times higher than that of the 'Marmelo'. As for á-carotene and β-carotene, 'Terrinha' plantain stood out with mean concentration of 1195.30 and 1126.11 µg (100 g MF -1 ), respectively. Total carotenoids ranged from 159.66 to 2553.51 µg (100 g MF -1 ) in 'Caipira' and 'Terrinha', respectively. In the ripe pulp there was 36% increase in the lutein content in comparison to the unripe pulp and there was 7.3 and 8.5% reduction in α-carotene and β-carotene levels, respectively. The total carotenoid concentration in the ripe pulp was 17% higher than that found in the unripe pulp. The unripe peel showed lutein predominance, although 'Terrinha' stood out with higher α-carotene and µ-carotene concentrations than those found in the other cultivars. Lutein concentration hardly changed due to fruit ripening; however, there was slight reduction in α-carotene and β-carotene concentrations.

“…Studies on the contribution of local food intake to meet micronutrient recommendations reported nutrient adequacy of diversified diets (Hatloy et al 1998;Roos et al 2003), the proportion of micronutrient intake supplied from local foods (Ogle et al 2001c;Kuhnlein et al 2006;Singh and Garg 2006;Roche et al 2008), and the percentage of recommended intake covered by the usual consumption of local foods (Ogle et al 2001a;Englberger et al 2006;Roos et al 2007a, b;Englberger et al 2008;Davey et al 2009;Englberger et al 2009Englberger et al , 2010b. Both studies evaluating micronutrient adequacy of local diets were based on actual intake, one used mean adequacy (Hatloy et al 1998) and the other nutrient contribution ratios (Roos et al 2003) to report the results.…”

The sustainable use of natural and agricultural biodiversity in the diet can be instrumental to preserve existing food biodiversity, address malnutrition, and mitigate adverse effects of dietary changes worldwide. This systematic review of literature summarizes the current evidence on the contribution of plant and animal biodiversity to human diets in terms of energy intake, micronutrient intake, and dietary diversification. Peer-reviewed studies were searched in ten databases using pre-defined search terms. Only original studies assessing food biodiversity and dietary intake were included, resulting in a total of 34 studies. 7, 14, and 17 studies reported information in relation to energy intake, micronutrient intake, and dietary diversification, respectively. In general, locally available foods were found to be important sources of energy, micronutrients, and dietary diversification in the diet of particularly rural and forest communities of highly biodiverse ecosystems. The current evidence shows local food biodiversity as important contributor of nutritious diets. Findings are, however, limited to populations living in highly biodiverse areas. Research on the contribution of biodiversity in diets of industrialized and urban settings needs more attention. Instruments are needed that would more appropriately measure the dietary contribution of local biodiversity.

“…However, these efforts are complicated by the fact that is often a great variation in the nutrient content of foods from the same species. For example, different varieties of banana can have 150-fold differences in carotenoid content [34][35][36]. Similarly, Ref.…”

While micronutrient deficiencies are exacerbated by infection, the underlying problems of poor dietary quality, low dietary diversity and inadequate consumption of micronutrient-rich foods must be addressed to improve global rates of malnutrition [5,6]. In the face of dietary transitions [7], increasingly globalized and homogenized food systems [8][9][10][11][12] and unfavorable food environments [5], the nutrition and public health community need to make use of every tool in the tool box to promote healthy diets and reduce rates of micronutrient deficiencies globally [6,13]. Many experts are calling for greater attention to biodiversity of traditional and under-utilized foods as an important tool in the fight against micronutrient malnutrition [14][15][16][17][18][19]. The push for more research on biodiverse foods for nutrition calls for interdisciplinary research that links species and biological information (through proper botanical, species and varietal identification of under-utilized foods) with the nutrient content of those foods. The belief is that better demonstration of the potential of traditional and underutilized for nutrition, will help support their incorporation into nutrition programming and education.Close to three million deaths annually are attributed to insufficient vegetable consumption [20][21][22], and few populations globally meet the FAO/WHO recommended intake of 400 grams of fruit and vegetables per person per day [23,24], including in many Sub-Saharan African countries [25]. In this context, African Leafy Vegetables (ALVs) are an important type of traditional and under-utilized food. Because ALV are often wild, or easy to cultivate, they are readily available and affordable, as well as culturally appropriate [26]. ALVs have been used for generations; however, their use is reported to be declining in many settings, perhaps due to cultural stigmas associated with their consumption [26]. In some settings, there are signs of a reversal of this trend [27]. ALVs are incredibly diverse and represent a major portion of the vegetables consumed in many African settings [26,[28][29][30][31][32]. ALVs are a key source of micronutrients for many populations and in many cases, contain more micronutrients than introduced vegetables such as spinach or cabbage [32]. For example, in South Africa, 20 traditional wild vegetables provide close to 10% of the recommended intake in minerals [33]. AbstractGeneration of improved data on biodiverse foods for nutrition required that nutrient composition data be paired with proper botanical identification of species. This study assessed the nutrient content of ten wild vegetable species within and outside forested area in Burkina Faso. The ten-vegetable species included: Adansonia digitata L., Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Del., Boerhavia diffusa L., Ceiba pentandra (L.) Gaertn., Cerathoteca sesamoides Endl., Crataeva religiosa Sieber, Ficus ovata Vahl, Moringa oleifera Lam., Strycnos spinosa Lam. and Vitex doniana Sweet. Additionally, the nutrient content for each ...
