No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine how different meal patterns influence the absorption of beneficial plant pigments (carotenoids) from vegetables. The hypothesis is that carotenoid absorption will be lower when daily vegetables are consumed in one meal compared two smaller meals throughout the day.

Conditions

  • Carotenoid
  • Bioavailability
  • Dietary Modification

Interventions

OTHER

Meal Pattern Treatment A

In treatment A, subjects consumed 100% of salad vegetables and canola oil in the first meal and 0% in the second. Additional protein-rich "chef's salad" ingredients were distributed equally between meals.

OTHER

Meal Pattern Treatment B

In treatment B, subjects consumed 50% of salad vegetables and canola oil in the first meal and 50% in the second. Additional protein-rich "chef's salad" ingredients were distributed equally between meals.

OTHER

Meal Pattern Treatment C

In treatment C, subjects consumed 75% of vegetables and oil in the first meal and 25% in the second. Additional protein-rich "chef's salad" ingredients were distributed equally between meals.
