Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control
Control wheat used for meal, level of zinc is usual
Control
wheat flour is used as control comparator.
fortification
Fortification Wheat is fortified before testmeal administration. Zinc level is comparable to WHO recommendation
Fortification
Wheat flour is fortified before testmeal preparation
Biofortified
Biofortification Biofortified wheat is used for testmeal administration. Zinc concentration is around 30% higher than control
Biofortified wheat
Wheat was grown by foliar Zn application and is therefore biofortified
