Treatment of anemia with microencapsulated ferrous fumarate plus ascorbic acid supplied as sprinkles to complementary (weaning) foods.

BACKGROUND Standard therapy for anemia in infants is ferrous sulfate drops administered 3 times/d. Adherence to treatment, however, is often poor. One likely reason for poor adherence is the unpleasant side effects associated with drops. OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate the use of a new form of iron and a delivery system to treat anemia in infants that is likely to produce better adher...

Sensory evaluation of dairy supplements enriched with reduced iron, ferrous sulfate or ferrous fumarate.

OBJECTIVE To determine the degree of liking of the Oportunidades programme dietary supplements (DS)--purees and beverages--added with different iron salts (IS): reduced iron (RI), ferrous sulphate (FS) or ferrous fumarate (FF) during 24 weeks of storage. MATERIALS AND METHODS The DS were evaluated through a hedonic scale for aroma, flavour and colour attributes; at time zero and every eight w...

A comparative study between the dispersible Ferric pyrophosphate particles and Ferrous sulfate in treatment of pediatric patients with iron deficiency anemia

Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common type of anemia related to malnutrition worldwide. It represents a major problem in developing countries, especially in Egypt. Ferric pyrophosphate (FPP) is a water-insoluble iron compound often used to fortify infant cereals and chocolate drink powders. It causes no adverse color and flavor changes to food vehicles. This study was done...

Iron absorption from rice meals cooked with fortified salt containing ferrous sulphate and ascorbic acid.

I . Iron absorption from rice-containing meals was measured by red cell utilization of radioactive Fe in sixty-six voluntcer multiparous Jndian women. 2. In all the studies salt added during the cooking process wiis used as the carrier for supplemental inorganic Fe and ascorbic acid. 3. Intrinsic Fe in the rice and supplementary inorganic Fe were absorbed to the same extent, with a wide range o...
