Why is it important?
The obtained data will expand the opportunity for food and nutrition scientists to evaluate content of the examined elements in grain products and dietary consumption of the examined elements. The obtained results will be provided to the National Food Composition database - information will be available for stakeholders involved in the area of nutrition and health making policy.
Perspectives
Such research was done for the first time in Latvia for different sorts of grain bred in Latvia. Interdisciplinary research involved experts from food chemistry, agriculture and food technology.
