VITAMIN CONTENTS.
EXPERT INVESTIGATION,
(Received 11 a.m.) LONDON, February 5.
In response to a requpest from the Empire Marketing Board, which is financing the work for five years, the Council has arranged for comprehensive investigation under the general direction of Professor Harden, of the Lister Institute, into the vitamin contents of fruit, vegetables and dairy products, and the effects of different methods of preservation and transport of these foods.
The Council lengthily reviews the progress towards artificial vitamin production, and points out that the national needs of vitamin can be met from liver fat, utilised with butter or margarine and in other ways. The Home supply can readily be supplemented if necessary from Empire produce.
It has been found that the vitamin content of fat from imported New Zealand liver is the same as from the liver of home-killed animals. —A.N.Z.
