520 _aBackground: One goal of HarvestPlus is to increase the Zn content of crops by selective plant breeding. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of moderately high-Zn wheat by measuring Zn absorption from a quantity of wheat (300 g) likely to be consumed daily by adult women who depend on wheat as a major food staple. Study Design: Randomized double blind cross-over design within extraction groups (95% and 80%). 28 healthy women were randomized to consume tortillas prepared from either high or control Zn wheat on day 1 or 2 as their primary source of energy and Zn. Total absorbed Zn (TAZ, mg) from high Zn wheat tortillas was compared with control wheat tortillas and with the predicted TAZ from a model of TAZ as a function of total ingested Zn (TIZ, mg) and phytate (TIP, mg) at 2 extraction levels. TIZ was measured by extrinsic labeling with stable Zn isotopes and a dual isotope tracer ratio technique. Salient data, means (SD), are given in the table. Conclusion: A significant increase in TAZ is achieved with selection of moderately high Zn wheat. The increase in absorbed Zn is compatible with that predicted from a model of TAZ as a function of TIZ and TIP. Variation in extraction between 95% and 80% does not alter TAZ.
