title: Vitamin A - application technology.
abstract: The availability of synthetic vitamin A and its esters in unlimited quantities, has enabled populations around the world, consuming inadequate amounts of this vital micro-nutrient and hence subject to potential loss of sight or other manifestations of vitamin A deficiency, to have hope for a better future life. A technology exists for the preparation of synthetic vitamin A in various application forms. Many commonly-consumed foods may be used as carriers or vehicles of vitamin A to assure deficient populations of a sufficient intake of this antixerophthalmic and anti-infective vitamin.
