Iron and Zinc in Traditional Rice Varieties by velu sen is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the variation in iron and zinc content among 159 traditional rice genotypes, revealing significant differences in micronutrient density, with iron concentration ranging from 6.9 to 22.3 mg/kg and zinc from 14.5 to 35.3 mg/kg in brown rice. The research highlights the substantial loss of iron (16 to 97.4%) compared to zinc (1 to 45%) during the polishing process, and establishes a moderate positive correlation between the two micronutrients. The findings emphasize the potential for br
