Abstract
Cassava genotypes (Manihot esculenta Crantz) with high pro-vitamin A activity have been identified as a strategy to reduce the prevalence of deficiency of this vitamin. The color variability of cassava roots, which can vary from white to red, is related to the presence of several carotenoid pigments. The present study has shown how CIELAB color measurement on cassava roots tissue can be used as a non-destructive and very fast technique to quantify the levels of carotenoids in cassava root samples, avoiding the use of more expensive analytical techniques for compound quantification, such as UV- ...
