Comparison of Beta-cryptoxanthin Bioavailability From Biofortified Maize in Humans

University of Wisconsin, Madison·interventional·Posted Jun 15, 2016·Updated Jan 24, 2019

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Whole grain high-BCX maize, Refined grain high-BCX maize, and 1 other intervention for β-cryptoxanthin Bioavailability From Biofortified Maize in Humans. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine how well the body absorbs the carotenoid beta-cryptoxanthin (BCX) from a type of corn that has been naturally bred (not genetically engineered) to contain higher amounts of BCX than traditional breeds of corn. Because this new type of corn contains higher amounts of BCX, it appears more orange in color than traditional types of corn. Understanding how well the body can absorb the BCX from the corn may help companies develop food products that may have improved nutritional quality.

Interventions

Whole grain high-BCX maizeother

The whole grain orange maize will be milled and prepared into muffins to be consumed daily. Muffins will contain a target of 500 µg beta-cryptoxanthin per day.

Refined grain high-BCX maizeother

The refined grain orange maize will be degermed, milled, and prepared into muffins to be consumed daily. Muffins will contain a target of 500 µg beta-cryptoxanthin per day.

Whole grain white maizeother

The whole grain white maize will be milled and prepared into muffins to be consumed daily. Muffins will contain minimal beta-cryptoxanthin, matched for dry maize weight.
