Summary

The investigators studies will compare iron, respectively iron and zinc bioavailability from fortified rice produced from different fortification techniques using stable isotopic labels. Study 1 aims to compare the iron bioavailability from hot and cold extruded rice, in Study 2 the iron and zinc bioavailability from rice using one coating technique and hot extrusion will be compared.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Fortified rice

Study 1: Hot or cold extruded rice fortified test meals fortified with Ferric Pyrophosphate and Zinc oxide will be administered - subjects serve as their own controls. Study 2: Hot extruded rice or coated rice fortified with Ferric Pyrophosphate and Zinc Oxide will be administered. Regular rice fortified with Ferrous Sulfate (FeSO4) will act as a control in study 2.
