Carotenoid Content and Consumption of Luxembourgish Fruits and Vegetables

摘要

Carotenoid intake has been associated with decreased incidence of several chronic di-seases. While data on carotenoid content in foods and consumption is available for some countries, no data is present for Luxembourg.rnThe aim of the present investigation was to develop methods allowing for rapid de-termination of carotenoids in frequently consumed fruits and vegetables and to link the results to Luxembourgish food disap-pearance.
