  Bangladesh is rich in genetic diversity of crops specially rice. Thousands of rice cultivars including indigenous, locally popular, aromatic and modern HYVs are available in Bangladesh for many years. Rice is a potential source of micronutrient specially zinc, iron etc and bioavailability of these minerals exclusively depend on the content of Phytic acid (PA) and relative molar ratio of Phytate to minerals accordingly. We aimed to explore for such valuable information for popular rice varieties specially BRRI HYVs in Bangladesh. We profiled mineral composition for Zn, Fe, Ca, P and anti-nutrient components such as PA and molar ratio of PA to minerals for 68 HYVs including Aus, Aman and Boro seasons in Bangladesh. Our date reveals that BRRI dhan43 possess the highest Zn content of 38.4 ppm followed by Fe (17 ppm), Ca (68.1 ppm) and P (2.5 gKg-1) at clean rice condition. We also noticed.. Read More»
