Abstract
Zinc availability from common cereals, legumes and their combinations were studied using different availability indicators. The level of HCl -soluble zinc ranged from 46.3-81.9%. Phytate/zinc molar ratio was les s than 20 for cereal-legume combinations, while phytate x calcium/zinc molar ratio for cereals and cereal-legume combinations was less than 50 mM/100 g. No association was observed among HCl-soluble zinc, phyta te/zinc and phytate x calcium/zinc ratios.
