abstract = {Hidden hunger is recognized as a global public health issue affecting especially at-risk population in developing
countries. Food fortification is an effective tool to combat this problem. In this study, we investigated the re-use
of blood meal (BM) and hydrolyzed blood meal (HBM) on Fe-Zn-Cu-Mn-Se levels, antioxidant capacity (AOC)
and organoleptic characteristics of baby-lettuces. The experiment involved baby-lettuces’ cultivation on amen
ded soils with BM and HBM in comparison to urea as control. Baby-lettuces without cultivation were also
analyzed. Zn content significantly increased with both intervention treatments, while Mn and Se decreased (p <
0.001). Fe diminished with HBM application (p = 0.003). Baby-lettuces had significantly higher content for all
minerals. AOC was mainly liberated during the in vitro fermentation process. BM and HBM impact positively on
Zn content, without altering organoleptic perception, and total AOC measured by ABTS method in lettuce. Babylettuces are important sources for Fe-Cu-Mn in diet.},
