Abstract

Biofortified transgenic foods contribute as a future, promising, innovative, profitable and sustainable tool to supply the need for micronutrients to a population without diverse diets by providing micronutrient alternatives. Major food crops are characterized by poor sources of micronutrients essential for human growth. The objective is to inform about the main biofortified transgenic foods with the potential to reduce hidden hunger. Search equations in English and bibliometric analysis of the terms transgenic foods and biofortification were used, finding a total of one thousand records, mainly the categories of cereals, vegetables, fruits and tubers. The reference source corresponds to the databases of the BAC (Agricultural Library of Colombia). The manuscript deals with aspects of the contribution of transgenic crops in biofortification. Success stories stand out, such as those of corn enriched in quality proteins in lysine and tryptophan, orange sweet potato rich in vitamin A. It expands on the different transgenic foods, especially vegetables, fruits, tubers and cereals, which supply the nutritional needs of the population. Transgenic foods have to face obstacles due to the limitations of acceptance among consumers and even governments, with different procedures and regulations for regulatory approval that are costly and slow. But their future potential stands out due to their ability to eliminate micronutrient malnutrition among billions of poor people, especially in developing countries with hidden hunger trends.
