Developing Iron and Iodine Enrichment in Tomato Fruits to Meet Human Nutritional Needs
Iron (Fe) and iodine (I) are essential microelements required for a healthy life, with Fe playing a vibrant role in oxygen transport, and I is vital for cognitive development and thyroid function. Global Fe and I deficiencies affect a significant portion

ABSTRACT Food fortification can deliver essential micronutrients to populations at a large scale, thereby reducing nutritional anemia. This study aimed to review and meta‐analyze the literature on the impact of wheat flour, maize flour, rice, and oil (singly or combined) fortification on women's (10–49 years) hemoglobin and anemia.

Using agronomic biofortification to boost zinc, selenium, and iodine concentrations of food crops grown on the loess plateau in China [PDF]
Micronutrient malnutrition among humans is typically caused by micronutrient deficiency in soils and then staple food crops grown on these soils. In this study, field trials were conducted to investigate the biofortification of micronutrients in the ...

Their bioactive constituents act through antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and metabolic‐regulating mechanisms, validating their classification as functional foods. Evidence from clinical and biochemical studies largely supports these benefits, although some claims stem from preliminary or in vitro findings.
