| dc.description.abstract | The effect of different packages and storage conditions on the retention of pro-vitamin A carotenoids(pVAC) in ogi powder produced from yellow-seeded maize was investigated to study its storage stability onmicronutrient retention. The ogi powder produced was packaged in a high-density polyethylene bag (HDPE), apolypropylene woven sack (PP), and a polyvinyl chloride container (PVC), and stored in different conditions for 12weeks with sampling done at three-week intervals for pVACanalysis. At the end of the storage period, ogi powderpackaged in HDPE stored outside the storage box had the highest percentage retention (31.32%) of trans-β-caroteneand that packaged in PVC container stored in the lighted compartment had the least (21.57%). Therefore, HDPEcould be a good package for the retention of trans-β-carotene (which is the most bioactive) in ogi powder whenstored at a temperature of 27°C and relative humidity of 73%. | |
