ABSTRACT:
Orange carrots have a beta-carotene content of 75-150 ppm. Orange carrots are commonly used in strained baby foods. The high beta-carotene content of orange carrots results in a high vitamin A statement on the product label and causes the product to have an orange color. White carrots and yellow carrots have a beta-carotene content of less than 10 ppm. White carrots and/or yellow carrots can be used in lieu of, or in combination with, orange carrots to control beta-carotene levels and the color of baby foods. White sweet potatoes can be used in lieu of, or in combination with, white carrots, orange carrots and orange sweet potatoes to control beta-carotene levels and the color of baby foods. The term white sweet potatoes refers to tubers of light colored flesh of the species Ipomea batata, of the morning glory family, Convolvulaceae.
