  abstract = {{T}wo non-{GMO} biofortified and one traditional pearl millet varieties were compared in abrasive decortication studies to evaluate their potential for increasing iron and zinc content. {T}he phytate-to-mineral ratios were used to estimate mineral bioavailability. {I}ron and zinc contents in the biofortified varieties {T}abi and {GB}8735 were two to threefold higher than in the traditional variety. {I}ron content reached 7.2 and 6.7 mg per 100 g {DM} in the biofortified varieties, which corresponds to the target values of biofortification programs. {Z}inc content was, respectively, 5.6 and 4.1 mg per 100 g {DM} in the {GB}8735 and {T}abi varieties. {B}ecause of the presence of phytate and other chelating factors that were only partially removed during decortication, there was no improvement in iron bioavailability in the biofortified varieties. {B}ut whatever extraction rate, phytate-to-zinc ratios ranged between 6 and 18; zinc absorption could be improved by using these biofortified varieties for food processing.},
