← HistoryWhich consequence occurs when ancient nixtamalization becomes incomplete?
A)Decreased iron bioavailability results✓
B)Increased aflatoxin contamination risk
C)Protein denaturation rate drops
D)Fiber digestion becomes accelerated
💡 Explanation
Incomplete nixtamalization reduces phytate degradation; therefore, diminished phytates inhibit iron absorption in the digestive process, because phytates bind to iron molecules rather than make them bioavailable.
