Evaluation of Zinc Bioavailability in Humans from Foliar Zinc Biofortified Wheat and from Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Zn Labels in Biofortified Wheat

Coralie Signorell, Diego Moretti, Christophe Zeder, Fabian Tay, Erick Boy, Neelam Khetarpaul, Ismail Cakmak & Michael Zimmermann · European Journal of Nutrition & Food Safety · 2015

Objectives: Zinc biofortification may be a sustainable way to improve Zn status, but questions remain on Zn bioavailability. We produced a novel biofortified wheat by Zn foliar application, and a separate wheat cultivar was intrinsically labeled with a Zn stable isotope. Goals we...

Objectives: In sub-Saharan Africa, parasitic diseases and low intake of bioavailable iron are the main causes of anemia. Anemia is further increased by inflammation during malarial infections blocking iron recycling and decreasing iron absorption. The influence of hookworm and Sc...
