Bioavailability of iron and zinc as affected by phytic acid content in rice grain
2017-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Phytic acid (PA) is considered as an anti‐nutritional factor (ANF) present in cereals and legumes and bind to cationic minerals including iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), thus reducing their bioavailability in both ruminants and nonruminants. The present study was aimed at finding the impact of PA on bioavailability of Fe and Zn. Six rice cultivars with contrasting PA were evaluated for total phosphorus (P), PA, Fe, and Z...
