1 beta-lactoglobulin as a vector for beta-carotene food fortification. beta Carotene beta-lactoglobulin Bos taurus
2 In vivo experiments were conducted by force-feeding mice with retinol or beta-carotene associated with either beta-Lg or oil-in-water emulsion, with subsequent determination of both vitamin A intestinal mucosa and plasma contents. beta Carotene beta-lactoglobulin Bos taurus
3 We showed that beta-Lg was as efficient as emulsion to promote beta-carotene, but not retinol, absorption in mice. beta Carotene beta-lactoglobulin Bos taurus
4 Overall, we showed that beta-Lg would be a good vector for beta-carotene food fortification. beta Carotene beta-lactoglobulin Bos taurus
