Study Summary
The objective of this study is to compare the quantity of Zn absorbed from an accurately weighed quantity (\~100 g) of minimally milled control maize (\~15 µg Zn/g maize), from biofortified maize (\~30 µg Zn/g) and from the same control maize that has been fortified (total level of \~60 µg Zn/g) when fed to young children age 24-36 months whose major habitual food staple is maize.
Primary Outcome
Absorption of zinc will be measured in young children fed a diet of control, Zn-biofortified, or Zn-fortified maize. Fractional absorption of zinc from all meals of the day will be measured by extrinsic labeling with stable isotopes of zinc. Fractional absorption of zinc will be measured by a dual isotope tracer ratio technique. Measurement of total zinc in duplicate diets on test day will allow determination of quantity of this micronutrient absorbed (mg/d).
