Abstract

Bio-fortification is a process that increases the concentration of micronutrients in plants while
they are in the growth stage. Adding nutrients to food during their processing is less natural in terms of
biofortification. Zinc and iron as micronutrients are particularly important for human health, and common
wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a major component of the human diet, and therefore all research to increase zinc
and iron concentrations during the cultivation of wheat, and afterwards in the flour, is quite significant. The
first goal, is to develop a model that will enable obtaining information on wheat and flour. The second goal is to
raise the model to a higher level, i.e. to incorporate the self-explanatory aspect. Some results are given from the
outputs of model obtained from this research on the production of wheat and flour with zinc and iron of the
variety Treska. New modelling concept for Soil-foliar biofortification of wheat with zinc and iron is obtained.
The benefits can be threefold: a benefit for companies through greater profit, a benefit for citizens through the
consumption of healthy and quality food products and finally, a benefit for the state. The model will allow
companies engaged in the production of wheat and flour to obtain a wealth of information on methods for
increasing zinc and iron in wheat and flour, as well as other important information.
