Abstract
Iron and zinc deficiencies have emerged as controllable nutritional problems of concern all over the globe with varying intensities in all age groups. Additionally, the micronutrients especially zinc is associated with maintaining a sound immune system and hence enhancing the bioavailability of minerals to be an ideal strategy for alleviation of deficiencies. The investigation was undertaken to study the effect of spices on the digestibility of proteins and bioaccessibility of iron and zinc in complementary food mixes (CFM) and Indian flatbread mixes (IFBM). CFM and IFBMs were formulated and spices were added at 1 and 2% to the matrices and their effect on protein, iron and zinc bioaccessibility was determined. In CFMs, spices enhanced the bioaccessible iron by 3–6 fold and 1.7–2.5 fold in IFBMs and zinc bioaccessibility by 1.2–2.0 fold at 2% level in both the mixes. Thermal treatments showed further enhancement in nutrient digestibility at sensorial acceptable levels. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report demonstrating the beneficial role of spices on mineral bioaccessibility in CFM’s and IFB’s. Spices in addition to enhancing the mineral bioaccessibility is also known to boost immunity which is the need of the hour.
