Portable Devices for Measurement of Vitamin A Concentrations in Edible Oil: Field Readiness of Available Options.

ABSTRACT: Vitamin A (VA) deficiency continues to be a major global health issue, despite measures to increase VA intake via consumption of staple foods such as edible oil. Portable quantitative and semiquantitative devices or test kits for internal quality control have the potential to overcome some of the limitations of traditional methods of testing, such as centralized laboratory, expensive equipment, and specially trained staff. This landscape analysis and comprehensive systematic mini-review catalogs and summarizes evidence on the analytical performance of portable quantitative and semiquantitative devices and test kits for the analysis of VA in edible oil. Studies or reports detailing the usability and validation of portable devices and/or test kits, as well as studies comparing device/test ki
