Is the zinc content of 1gram dry TVP equal to the amount of zinc in 1 gram rehydrated TVP?

Question

im just wondering whether the amount of zinc decreases in the rehydrated TVP due to water...because water increases the bulk of the TVP right?

Answer 1

Yes, you are correct. However, if you take 1 gram of dry TVP and reconstitute it, the rehydrated TVP will have approximately the same nutritional content of the dry... you'll just have a greater volume. (Nutrition doesn't go away; it just is dispersed over a bigger quantity.)
