Undertaken in the context of the magnitude of the public health problem of vitamin A deficiency in the world, and the availability of pro-vitamin A rich fruits in Amazonia, this study evaluated the bioavailability of Vitamin A from peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) in rats using the preventive method. The results of the study indicate that peach palm is a highly bioavailability source of Vitamin A, with a relative efficiency of 250.8% when compared with the respective control groups (100%). |
