In vitro bioavailability of zinc and iron in wheat grain

In vitro bioavailability of Zn and Fe in wheat grain was examined in 17 wheat genotypes. Average Zn concentration in whole grain was 25.28 mg kg -1 while average Zn concentration in samples after in vitro digestion was 4.84 mg kg -1. The average Fe concentration in whole grain samples was 46.36 mg kg -1 while in samples after in vitro digestion average Fe concentration was 11.42 mg kg -1. A high variability in Zn and Fe bioavailability among examined wheat genotypes was observed. Based on hierarchical clustering, genotypes with different patterns of Zn and Fe in vitro bioavailability could be selected for further research on Zn and Fe in vitro bioavailability.
