- W4220774906 abstract "Over 3 million people depend on sorghum as a stable crop in Africa; however, it is deficient in essential mineral micronutrients which are vital for a healthy living and balanced nutrition. In addition, the little vitamin stored in the grain gets degraded in storage. Sorghum has to be nutritionally enhanced for the people that depend on it as stable, but too poor to supplement their diets with animal proteins, fruits and vegetables. Biofortification in sorghum is an approach to improve iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) bioavailability which are bound to phytate compounds, making them unavailable for body metabolism and increase and stabilize provitamin A levels. The biofortification of sorghum is also planned to improve sorghum protein digestibility, protein profile and employs genes that have been of common use, proven to have no toxicity or allergenic effects. Sorghum biofortification was birthed with the grant award for the Global Health Challenges won by Africa Harvest and DuPont Pioneer (now Corteva Agriscience) to lead the project scientifically. Nigeria and four other African countries were drafted to conduct confined field trials that began in 2011. The objectives of the Africa Biofortified Sorghum were envisaged in stages: First is a biofortified sorghum with enhanced provitamin A. Second is the biofortified sorghum with bioavailable Zn and Fe, and the last stage is to enhance provitamin A and improve bioavailability of Zn and Fe with improved protein digestibility. This stage wise approach was adopted to ensure that the process for development and deployment of biofortified sorghum is segmented because of the cost involved." @default.
