English term or phrase: to retain beta-carotene
***GM golden rice must be vacuum packed to retain beta-carotene***

The vitamin A precursor beta-carotene is only present at low levels in GM golden rice, when compared to carrots and green leafy vegetables. But it rapidly degrades to even lower levels when the rice is stored after harvest, a new study by Indian scientists has found. After just 6 months of storage in the presence of air, even at the low refrigerated temperature of 4 degrees C, the beta-carotene degraded by around 68–79%. The scientists concluded that the best way to preserve the beta-carotene content of the GM golden rice was to vacuum pack it as paddy (rice with the hull left on) – though no one eats rice in this form. Under these conditions, at 25 degrees C, just over half (54%) of the beta-carotene was retained, versus only around 20% under non-vacuum packaging (air packaging) at the same temperature. All this means it's not a practical solution to vitamin A deficiency in the developing world.


Hat jemand eine gute Idee für diese Überschrift? Je kürzer, desto besser! Hier meine vorläufige Lösung:

"Goldener Reis muss vakuumverpackt sein, um Beta-Carotin-Gehalt nicht zu verlieren"

Aber das ist mir zu lang.
