STUDY OF ZINC ABSORPTION IN THE SOYBEAN FERMENTED WEANING FOOD / 营养学报

ABSTRACT

The absorptioa of zinc in the fermented soybean weaning food was studied using methed of neutron activation analysis of a stable isotope 70Zn. The results indicated that the rate of zinc absorption (38.7%), activity of alkaline phosphatase in serum (102.3V/L) and the increment of weight (0.5kg) of the infants (7-18m) eating the soybean fermented weaning food were higher than those eating the nonfermented soybean weaning food (30.9%, 71.0V/L, 0.4kg) and the traditional grain weaning food (rice gruel and noodle) (27.5%, 61.5V/L, 0.4kg)
