About this document
Bioaccessibility of Micronutrients in Baby Foods by Eliana Contreras is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document evaluates the bioaccessible fractions of iron, zinc, copper, and manganese in various baby foods using an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion model. For flour-based baby foods, zinc bioaccessibility was low while copper bioaccessibility was above 50%. Iron bioaccessibility was below 35% for some samples but over 80% for wheat flour. For meat- and vegetable-based baby foods, iron bioaccessibility was over 80% for samples containing meat and chicken but only 20% for a banana-based sample. Zinc bi
