Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Increasing Zn fertilization increased Zn concentration in all wheat flour fractions.
- Intervention effect Phytic acid concentrations in wheat grain and flour were unaffected by Zn biofortification.
- Association Modeled Zn bioavailability increased with Zn application rate.
- Association Modeled disability-adjusted life years saved increased with Zn application rate.
- Observation Zn bioavailability was greater in standard and refined flour than whole grain and coarse flour.
- Observation Modeled health impact was greater for standard and refined flour than whole grain and coarse flour.
- Observation Biofortified standard and refined flour at 50 kg/ha ZnSO₄·7H₂O met the stated Zn health requirement.
- Observation Biofortified standard and refined flour reduced modeled DALYs by more than 20%.
- Intervention effect Zn biofortification did not reduce iron, manganese, or copper bioavailability in wheat flour.
