''Folate From Strawbeeries'' A Sustainable Solution for Anemia, Prevention and Treatment

It is estimated that > 2 billion people globally are affected by the deficiency of ≥ 1 micronutrients.Micronutrient deficiency affects people of all age groups but children and women are the most vulnerable.Folic acid, also known as folate or Vitamin B9, is a member of the B vitamin family and it is a water-soluble vitamin an essential cofactor for enzymes involved in DNA and RNA synthesis. More specifically, folic acid is required by the body for the synthesis of purines, pyrimidines, and methionine before incorporation into DNA or protein.strawberry, (genus Fragaria), genus of more than 20 species of flowering plants in the rose family (Rosaceae) and it is an edible fruit.The strawberry (Fragaria X ananassa, Duch.) represents a relevant source of micronutrients, such as minerals, vitamin C, folate and phenolic substances, most of which are natural antioxidants and contribute to the high nutritional quality of the fruit. In this research article we extract the folate from strawberries for the folate deficiency prevention and treatment.
