Genetically modified (GM) crops expressing insecticidal and herbicide-tolerant traits provide a new approach to agriculture production, but concerns about food safety were often raised by the public. The present research shows the findings of the nutritional assessment of ZDAB3 expressing insecticidal Cry proteins (Cry1Ab and Cry2Ab) and EPSPS protein (G10evo-EPSPS). The key nutrients and anti-nutrients of ZDAB3 maize were examined and contrasted with those of its non-transgenic control maize grown at the same locations during three planting seasons. The values for proximates, amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, phytic acid, and trypsin inhibitor assessed for ZDAB3 were comparable to those of its non-transgenic control maize or within the range of values reported for other commercial lines. In addition, no adverse effects related to the G10evo-EPSPS protein in mammals were observed. These data indicated that the expression of Cry1Ab, Cry2Ab, and G10evo-EPSPS proteins in ZDAB3 maize does not affect the nutritional compositions, and ZDAB3 maize is equivalent to non-transgenic maize regarding those important compositions.
