Soybean sprouts biofortified with ZnSO4 solution at 10 or 20 µg Zn mL(-1) contained appreciable quantities of Zn and had good Zn bioaccessibility, indicating that Zn-enriched soybean sprouts may serve as a suitable dietary Zn source to improve the Zn intake of Zn-deficient populations.

The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) phenomena of some hydroxyl compounds in the presence of tris(2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(III)[Ru(bpy)32+] have been found.. The experiments were performed in a flow injection system equipped with a thin-layer electrolysis cell. A three-electrode system with a working electrode of a glassy carbon disk (22.1 mm2), was used for potentiosatic control of the electrolytic system. The ECL behaviors of sucrose, fructose, glucose, mannose, glycerol, ascorbic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, some monohydric alcohols and polyhydric alcohols, have been discussed. The ECL reaction mechanisms of these compounds and Ru(bpy)32+ were also discussed.
