50 g of Commercial Rice was cooked and 4 mg iron from Ferrous sulphate was added Prior to give to participants. Rice meal consumed with mixed vegetable Sauce.
Commercial Rice was mixed with cold-extruded fortified Rice (mixing Ratio: 100:1) Rice meal consumed with mixed vegetable Sauce.
Commercial Rice was mixed with warm-extruded fortified Rice (mixing Ratio: 100:1) Rice meal consumed with mixed vegetable Sauce.
Commercial Rice was mixed with hot-extruded fortified Rice (mixing Ratio: 100:1) Rice meal consumed with mixed vegetable Sauce.
