Primary outcomePrimary: Pharmacokinetics of Carotenoid Absorption From Papaya, Carrot and Tomato — 163; 62; 64; 174 nmol*h/L
Summary
The goal of this study is to determine if papaya fruits are an exceptionally good food source for carotenoids in humans, particularly when compared more common carotenoid sources like carrots and tomatoes. This objective will be accomplished by quantitation of the immediate post-prandial plasma concentrations of parent carotenoids and vitamin A metabolites from subjects who consumed a meal containing fresh papaya, tomato, and carrot.
