Scientific evidence shows that the normal beta carotene (precursor of vitamin A) content of cow milk, carrot juice and carotene enriched milk is 0.45, 60 and 5.9 micrograms per ml respectively. There was no significant reduction in beta carotene content of the carotene enriched milk (vitaminized or carrot enriched milk) when stored at 5°C during one week storage.
