  1. The effect of food processing on the bioaccessibility of cadmium and micronutrients from whole wheat porridge

    • Cereal Chemistry

    • Abstract Background and Objectives Wheat porridge contributes to the intake of micronutrients but can also be a route of the toxic heavy metal, cadmium. This study aimed to determine the effect of processing on micronutrients, cadmium dialyzability, and cellular bioaccessibility. Findings Cadmium (0.21%), magnesium (0.19%), iron (0.17%), and zinc (0.07%) presented low bioaccessibility from raw whole wheat flour.
