Samples of amylose-free cassava starch now available
In
2007, CIAT's Cassava Improvement Project identified a recessive mutation
among its self-fertilized materials that was characterized by producing
an amylose-free starch, also referred to as 'waxy' starch.
Given the importance of this finding for the starch production sector, the Cassava Improvement Project has decided to prepare a Collaborative Agreement on Cassava Starch through which samples of this 'waxy' starch, extracted by CIAT from the same genetic material in which the mutation was identified, is made available to the starch production sector.
MAIN (Model for Assessing the Impact of Nutritional Interventions)
MAIN,
a user-friendly system for the empirical estimation of the DALYs framework,
is available. It is used to evaluate the potential benefits and costs
of developing the nutritional intervention to reduce deficiencies of vitamin
A, iron, and/or zinc.
