    Hugh Fisher/for the salisbury post Ivette Guzman, postdoctoral research associate at the NCSU Plants for Human Health Institute at the NCRC, talks about research she’s doing to help capture and maintain the nutrition from mangoes, along with other fruits and vegetables. Doing so could help fight malnutrition in the African nation of Zambia.

    One study underway at the N.C. Research Campus aims to capture nutrients from mangos, carrots, kale and other plants - seen here, in vials - and make them stable for long-term storage, solving a problem of malnutrition in the African nation of Zambia. Photo by Hugh Fisher.
