Description Iron and zinc deficiencies have emerged as controllable nutritional problems of concern all over the globe with
varying intensities in all age groups. Additionally, the micronutrients especially zinc is associated with maintaining
a sound immune system and hence enhancing the bioavailability of minerals to be an ideal strategy for
alleviation of deficiencies. The investigation was undertaken to study the effect of spices on the digestibility of
proteins and bioaccessibility of iron and zinc in complementary food mixes (CFM) and Indian flatbread mixes
(IFBM). CFM and IFBMs were formulated and spices were added at 1 and 2% to the matrices and their effect on
protein, iron and zinc bioaccessibility was determined. In CFMs, spices enhanced the bioaccessible iron by 3–6
fold and 1.7–2.5 fold in IFBMs and zinc bioaccessibility by 1.2–2.0 fold at 2% level in both the mixes. Thermal
treatments showed further enhancement in nutrient digestibility at sensorial acceptable levels. To the best of our
knowledge this is the first report demonstrating the beneficial role of spices on mineral bioaccessibility in CFM’s
and IFB’s. Spices in addition to enhancing the mineral bioaccessibility is also known to boost immunity which is
the need of the hour.
