Abstract


Malnutrition affects over one billion people worldwide and thus one out of six humans is malnourished. Though the green revolution solved the problem of malnutrition to the great extent, people living in developing and under-developed countries still face micronutrient malnutrition, which is a result of imbalanced diet and intake of insufficient micronutrients. Iron and zinc deficiencies together contributing to loss to GDP is at least US$ 5 billion in China and India alone.
