Abstract

Acceptability of red palm oil-incorporated food supplements among preschool children have been established through field trials in India and elsewhere. The importance of RPO supplementation among preschool children acquired much significance due to its richness in β-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. Supplementation of β-carotene through RPO for enhancing vitamin A status and preventing vitamin A deficiency, apart from re-establishing the oil's acceptability has been reported.
