Bioavailability of Petit-Suisse Cheese as Food Vehicle for Iron Fortification Estimated by the Prophylactic Method.

Bioavailability of Petit-Suisse cheese as food vehicle for iron fortification estimated by the prophylactic method.

Microencapsulated ferrous sulfate (SFE-171) and ferric orthophosphate in Petit-Suisse cheese were examined for iron bioavailability by the prophylactic method. The iron sources were industrially added to different samples of Petit-Suisse cheese, which were mixed with other food components in our laboratory before use. A reference standard diet inclusive of nonmicroencapsulated ferrous sulfate a...

Sugar as a vehicle for iron fortification: further studies.

The data presented confirm the advantages of sugar as a vehicle for iron fortification over other vehicles used in the past. The absorption comparison between ferric and ferrous salts added to sugar demonstrated that Fe(III)-EDTA Complex and ferrous sulfate exhibited the highest absorption, while ferric ammonium citrate was poorly absorbed. It was also found that Fe(III)-EDTA reacts slowly with...

Estimated folate intakes: data updated to reflect food fortification, increased bioavailability, and dietary supplement use.

BACKGROUND There is a critical need to estimate dietary folate intakes for nutrition monitoring and food safety evaluations, but available intake data are seriously limited by several factors. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to update 2 national food consumption surveys to reflect folate intakes as a result of the recently initiated food fortification program and to correct folate intakes for the...
