Iron deficiency is a global health issue. Enhancing iron content and bioavailability in rice, a staple food, offers a promising solution to combat this widespread nutritional problem.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Human Nutrition
  • Food Science

Background:

  • Iron deficiency is the most prevalent micronutrient deficiency worldwide.
  • Rice is a primary staple food for over half the global population.
  • Improving iron in rice is crucial for public health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate iron content across various rice varieties and milling products.
  • To assess iron bioavailability in different food forms.
  • To explore methods for enhancing iron in rice.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of iron content in black rice, common rice, red rice, sticky rice, and millet.
  • Assessment of iron in rice chaff, husk, and milled products.
  • Evaluation of iron bioavailability in vegetable-based foods.

Main Results:

  • Black rice exhibited higher iron content compared to other rice types.
  • Rice chaff and husk showed significant iron levels.
  • Milled rice, a staple, contains relatively low iron.
  • Iron bioavailability in vegetable foods is generally low (around 10%).

Conclusions:

  • Rice varieties like black rice are richer in iron.
  • Processing methods impact iron content in staple rice.
  • Strategies beyond breeding, including biochemical and physical approaches, are vital for improving iron in rice grains.
  • Addressing iron deficiency requires enhancing iron content and bioavailability in rice.
