Ionisable Iron in Certain Indian Food-Stuffs and in Students' Dietaries

A Note on the Nutritive Values of the Dietaries of Bengal Jails

scales of diets in use in the jails of the Province of Bengal, with the optional or permissive alterations sanctioned by the Jail Code. These scales of diet have been in force since the year 1881, and are reproduced with slight variations in the revised Jail Code. In all thirty-two variations of diet are here given, and their respective chemical values calculated both in terms of nitrogen and c...

Ionisable Iron in Cows' and Mothers' Milk

Lxxxiii. the Ionisable Iron in Foods. by Leslie Shackleton and Robert

SINcE it is now generally agreed that "haematin" iron in foods is largely unavailable for haemoglobin formation, and therefore is probably not absorbed [Elvehjem et al., 1933; Lintzel, 1931], it is clear that a knowledge of the total iron in a foodstuff may be of little use from a dietetic standpoint. A knowledge of the ionisable iron is probably of much more value, although it cannot be assume...

Iron content, bioavailability & factors affecting iron status of Indians.

Repeated surveys have shown that the magnitude of nutritional anaemia is of public health concern in India. Though reduced intake of iron is a major aetiological factor, low intake or an imbalance in the consumption of other haematopoietic nutrients, their utilization; increased nutrient loss and/or demand also contribute to nutritional anaemia. In India, cereals and millets form the bulk of th...

Study on the accumulation of heavy metals (cadmium, copper, iron, tin, arsenic, lead and mercury) in the Indian white shrimp (Penaeus indicus) muscle tissue in Chabahar Bay, Bris and Pasabandar

Shrimps are one of the most important seafood sources for humans. Heavy metals accumulated in the body of shrimp can be transmitted to humans in the food chain. The present study was done in 2017 to compare the accumulation of heavy metals Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Tin (Sn), Arsenic (As) and Mercury (Hg) in edible tissue of Indian white shrimp in the fishing grounds of th...
