Development of new generation cakes fortified with zinc oxide nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to develop new generation cakes that were fortified with calcined ZnO nanoparticles (C_ZnO), uncalcined ZnO nanoparticles (UC_ZnO), beads (B(C_ZnO)) synthesized by encapsulating the C_ZnO with sodium alginate (SA), and the beads (B(UC_ZnO)) synthesized by encapsulating the UC_ZnO with sodium alginate (SA) and investigated the zinc (Zn) release in fortified cakes in simulated body fluids (SBF). The present study represents a novel method for increasing intestinal absorption and bioavailability of dietary zinc with zinc nanoparticles for use in the preparation of Zn fortified cakes as a dietary supplement to compensate for zinc deficiency in humans. The results revealed that a rapid increase in the release time and
