Partially-gelatinised starches by high hydrostatic pressure as oligoelement carriers
Zinc deficiency is a world wide problem, centred on the lower income population, though not restricted to it. Food supplementation with magnesium is also considered of interest for correcting deficiencies in this oligoelement. Highpressure partially gelatinised starch is proposed as a vehicle for inclusion of these metals in food products.
