Estimated Iron and Zinc Bioavailability in Soybean-Maize-Sorghum Ready to Use Foods: Effect of Soy Protein Concentrate and Added Phytase

Abstract: Citation: Akomo PO, Egli I, Okoth MW, Bahwere P, Cercamondi CI, et al. (2016) AbstractEfficacy and cost of nutritional supplements are critical in addressing malnutrition. Use of cheaper and locally available ingredients in manufacturing ready-to-use foods (RUF) can potentially reduce cost and increase access to supplements in resource-poor settings. Soy protein concentrate (SPC) is a cheaper source of protein and can potentially replace the more expensive milk powder in RUF. However, SPC contains phytic a… Show more

“…This phytate formed indigestible and insoluble complexes that inhibit minerals' bioavailability. The use of added or intrinsic phytase enzyme to reduce phytic acid and the use of iron in a chelated form such as sodium iron ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) reduce the impeding effect of phytic acid [74]. Mineral bioavailability can be estimated by phytate and mineral molar ratio in improving iron absorption in legume and cereal-based foods [74].…”

“…Since cereals and legumes are widely used in the preparation of complementary foods, it may be difficult for children to achieve nutritional adequacy due to dietary factors [92]. Insufficient dietary variety and reliance on plant-based cereals in terms of nutrient content and bioavailability in children, complementary foods are some of the main factors that restrict the consistency of a complementary diet [93,94].…”

“…On the other hand, and also due to poor socio‐economic conditions, resource‐constrained households in the subcontinent, majority of which are concentrated in rural areas, hardly access animal source foods such as meat and meat products, and poultry and poultry products (Boukary et al., 2016). This is notwithstanding the fact that animal‐based foods are a good source of essential micronutrients with high degree of bioavailability (Akomo et al., 2016). These situations indicate the importance of vegetables, which are easily cultivated and take a short time to mature (Rybak et al., 2018), to household nutrition and micronutrient intake in particular, among poor rural communities in the subcontinent.…”

“…Vegetables contain substantial quantities of micronutrients such as vitamin A, iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium, and phosphorus, and when consumed in adequate amounts as recommended by WHO (2003), can contribute effectively to prevention and alleviation of micronutrient‐associated medical conditions such as night blindness, iron deficiency disorders, osteoporosis (weak bones), and weak teeth (Akomo et al., 2016). Other than micronutrients, vegetables are also a good source of fiber and a variety of non‐nutrient phytochemicals (such as phenols, phytates, saponins, oxalates, and tannins), when consumed in small quantities, are believed to confer health benefits including anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, lipid lowering, and blood pressure regulation actions (Lin et al., 2018).…”
