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.
