BACKGROUND: Lyophilized meat powder with iron-fortified wheat flour can be used to produce an infant porridge with bioavailable iron, but its acceptability and safety are unknown.
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the acceptability and safety of porridges containing lyophilized meat powder and iron-fortifie...
Iron deficiency is a major public health problem worldwide, with the highest burden among children. The objective of this randomized efficacy feeding trial was to determine the effects of consuming iron-biofortified beans (Fe-Beans) on the iron status in children, compared to control beans (Contr...

A Randomized Feeding Trial of Iron-Biofortified Beans in School Children in Mexico
Background
Child undernutrition is persistently high in the central Andes of Peru, and numerous smallholder households fail to meet their basic needs of energy, iron and zinc. Food-based approaches assume household-level nutrition can be improved following agricultural interventions. This study ...

The challenge of achieving basal energy, iron and zinc provision for home consumption through family farming in the Andes: a comparison of coverage through contemporary production systems and selected agricultural interventions
La biofortificación es considerada, en muchos países del mundo y de América Latina, como una estrategia complementaria para la prevención y control de las deficiencias de micronutrientes. Cultivos biofortificados como el arroz y el maíz tienen contenidos más altos de zinc (Zn) y de proteína de al...

Over the past 15 years, biofortification, the process of breeding nutrients into food crops, has gained ample recognition as a cost-effective, complementary, feasible means of delivering micronutrients to populations that may have limited access to diverse diets, supplements, or commercially fort...

Background
Large genome-wide association (GWA) studies of European ancestry individuals have identified multiple genetic variants influencing iron status. Studies on the generalizability of these associations to African ancestry populations have been limited. These studies are important given int...
