Bioavailable Iron and Vitamin A in Newly Formulated, Extruded Corn, Soybean, Sorghum and Cowpea Fortified-Blended Foods in the In-vitro Digestion/Caco-2 Cell Model
Fortified blended foods, particularly corn-soybean blend, are food aid products distributed in developing countries. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) food aid quality review recommended developing extruded fortified blended foods using alternative commodities such as sorghum.
The authors of this study set out to determine bioavailable iron and vitamin A levels, from newly developed, extruded corn, soybean, sorghum, and cowpea fortified blended foods compared to the non-extruded traditional fortified blended foods, corn-soy blend 13 and corn-soy blend plus.
You can read the complete results and findings of the study in Current Development in Nutrition, #ASN's open-access journal.
