According to UNICEF, 40 to 60 percent of children and young people in developing nations are affected by a lack of vitamin A. This makes it the most widespread form of malnutrition. Micro-encapsulated vitamin A that is added to staple foods such as oil, sugar or flour is a fundamental contribution to solving this problem.
BASF Corporate Communications started a regular bilingual Podcast service in April 2007 to report on BASF's innovations and research and development activities in an easy-to-understand, informative and entertaining way.
Listen to the audio reportage with Dr. Andreas Blüthner (Global Coordinator BASF Micronutrient Initiatives) and Dr. Lutz End (Research "Formulation Technologies Nutrition" at BASF).
