Research Papers that Mention the Interaction
“Plasma and breast milk alpha- and beta-carotene concentrations increased in response to red palm oil supplementation and were different (P < 0.001) from the control group at both 1 and 3 mo postpartum.”
Xanthophyll and hydrocarbon carotenoid patterns differ in plasma and breast milk of women supplemented with red palm oil during pregnancy and lactation.“The vitamin A values of red palm oil obtained under these conditions, a mean of 0.17 mg retinol absorbed per mg beta-carotene consumed (beta-carotene : retinol equivalency of 5.7:1) is higher than that of all other vegetable sources we have evaluated to date.”
“However, the addition of 10% (v/w) palm oil during cooking helped increasing the bioaccessible beta-carotene contents after digestion in all cooking methods, compared to those without palm oil addition (p<0.05).”
“The findings of this study suggested that the addition of 10% (v/w) palm oil during cooking could improve the bioaccessible beta-carotene contents in the sweet leaf, especially when the sweet leaf was cooked by microwave.”
