Table 2. Zinc and phytic acid content for the rice varieties.
Country | Sample | Zinc (mg/kg) | Phytic Acid (mg/g) |
---|---|---|---|
Bolivia | Control 1 | 17.33 ± 2.42b | 0.61 ± 0.02b |
T2-10 | 22.03 ± 0.64ab | 0.86 ± 0.11ab | |
T2-11 | 24.70 ± 0.78a | 1.02 ± 0.02a | |
Colombia | Control 2 | 18.35 ± 2.05b | 2.66 ± 0.08ab |
021 | 26.77 ± 1.00a | 2.80 ± 0.00a | |
035 | 26.57 ± 0.72a | 2.45 ± 0.08b |
Values are presented as mean ± SD. Means with different superscript letters (a,b) in the same column by country are significantly different with Tukey’s test (p<0.05); n = 3 sample replicates for zinc, except control 2 in Colombia where n = 2 sample replicates; n = 2 sample replicates for phytic acid.
