Under the current dietary practices, the intake levels of phytate, fiber, plant proteins, etc., which may possibly i n h i b i t zinc absorption, are not a source of undue concern for the majority of the population. However, as our awareness of the concepts of nutrient economics and nutrient density, and of matters of health as they might relate to foods of plant origin increases, more of the zinc i n our diet could originate from cereal-based and other plant foods. Consequently, the t o t a l and b i o available zinc content of our diet may become compromised. This may have serious health implications especially when a steady decline i n our c a l o r i c intake i s being witnessed. Health measures encompassing f o r t i f i c a t i o n of foods with zinc, the processing of foods to control the levels of suspected inhibitors of zinc absorption, and long-term studies to examine the effect of "adaptation" (to changed dietary regimens) are some of the areas which demand our immediate attention. Zinc deficiency i n man was f i r s t recognized i n the early I960 s (1). Since that time, research concerning the role of zinc in health and disease has been intense. Evidence that a sizable segment of the U.S. population may be deficient i n zinc, at least marginally (2), has contributed to the interest i n zinc research. Although the major sources of zinc i n the diet are foods of animal o r i g i n , p a r t i c u l a r l y meats, shellfishes and cheese (3,b), cereal-based foods also make important contributions. 1

The current c e r e a l f o r t i f i c a t i o n (enrichment) p r a c t i c e r e stores some of the n u t r i e n t s (zinc not included) l o s t during m i l l i n g . In 1974, however, the Food and N u t r i t i o n Board (5) proposed an expansion of the current program to i n c l u d e a t o t a l of 10 micron u t r i e n t s (zinc i n c l u d e d ) . The proposed l e v e l of z i n c (Table II) would almost completely r e s t o r e z i n c to the l e v e l present i n whole grains. Although great changes i n d i e t a r y h a b i t s are c u r r e n t l y being witnessed, r e f i n e d products are l i k e l y to remain the mainstay of our d i e t .

Another study ( 1 0 ) tested cookies made with egg albumin with phytate added or not. The a d d i t i o n of phytate (Table V) s i g n i f i c a n t l y reduced the b i o a v a i l a b i l i t y of zinc as determined based on the z i n c content of femur (Table V I ) . The reduced BV was comparable to BVs obtained with cookies made with the soy p r o t e i n products. In these s t u d i e s , the l e v e l of p r o t e i n and z i n c i n a l l t e s t products was e q u a l i z e d . In the albumin-based cookies, however, the zinc o r i g i n a t e d almost e n t i r e l y from the added source (zinc c h l o r i d e ) , while i n the soybased cookies the added source made only a p a r t i a l c o n t r i b u t i o n .

In cereal-based products where appreciable phytate h y d r o l y s i s occurs during p r o c e s s i n g , b i o a v a i l a b i l i t y of z i n c seems to improve. T h i s was observed i n a study ( 1 1 ) where breads, made with or without soy (Table V I I ) , contained added phytate. In these breads, phytate was almost completely hy drolyzed during processing. The breadmaking process a l s o s i g n i f i c a n t l y improved the apparent absorption of zinc (Table V I I ) . Rein hold et_ a l . ( 1 2 ) studied the a v a i l a b i l i t y of z i n c i n leavened and unleavened wholemeal wheaten breads and concluded that leavening (hydrolyzes phytate) markedly increased the b i o u t i l i z a t i o n of z i n c i n bread. Morris and E l l i s ( 1 3 ) examined the e f f e c t of d e p h y t i n i z ing wheat bran on z i n c u t i l i z a t i o n by r a t s and demonstrated that i t i s f e a s i b l e to g r e a t l y overcome the phytate e f f e c t through dep h y t i n i z a t i o n (Table V I I I ) .

In s t u d i e s w i t h préadolescent g i r l s , P r i c e e£^ a l . (18) observed that the absorption of z i n c from mixed d i e t (plant and animal foods) was somewhat higher than that from p l a n t foods (Table X ) . The r e s u l t s may be somewhat confounded by the d i f f e r e n c e s i n d i e t a r y p r o t e i n l e v e l s . In a recent study, Sandstrom et^ a l .

In another study, Sandstrom eit a l . (19) compared the e f f e c t of hamburger, the bun and the combination of the two on changes i n p l a s ma z i n c i n human s u b j e c t s . They found that meat alone d i d not appear to i n h i b i t z i n c absorption but the bun (with or without meat) caused a r e d u c t i o n i n plasma z i n c response. The bun i s u s u a l l y q u i t e low i n f i b e r and phytate but contains about 10% p r o t e i n . E f f e c t of c e r t a i n m i c r o n u t r i e n t s . The e f f e c t of m i c r o n u t r i e n t s on z i n c u t i l i z a t i o n has r e c e i v e d l i t t l e a t t e n t i o n . Van Campen (20) demonstrated i n v i t r o that z i n c and copper are mutually a n t a g o n i s t i c during the absorptive process. Calcium a l s o aggrevates z i n c d e f i c i e n c y when added to d i e t s based on p l a n t products that might a l s o contain appreciable amount of phytate. For example, the r e l a t i v e BV of z i n c i n a l k a l i - t r e a t e d corn (calcium hydroxide) i s reported to be low compared to b o i l e d or raw corn ( 9 ) . When the d i e t i s f r e e of or low i n phytates, z i n c absorption i n humans consuming high or low calcium l e v e l s appears not to be a f f e c t e d (21). Solomons (22) r e p o r t s a s i g n i f i c a n t reduct i o n i n z i n c absorption i n humans i n the presence of nonheme ( i n organic) i r o n (Table X I ) ; heme i r o n seems to have no such e f f e c t . Duncan and Hurley (23) s t u d i e d the i n t e r a c t i o n between z i n c and v i t a m i n A i n pregnant and f e t a l r a t s and found that plasma v i t a m i n A i n both animals was s i g n i f i c a n t l y reduced by low i n t a k e s of e i ther z i n c or v i t a m i n A. Over the range of doses commonly consumed by man, a s c o r b i c a c i d was shown (24) to have no demonstratable e f f e c t , u n l i k e that on i r o n , on the absorption of i n o r g a n i c z i n c i n man.
