Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a health problem in Indonesia. Prevention and treatment of IDA carried out by giving fortified foods oral iron therapy. Both can use ferrous fumarate which made with reacting bivalent disodium fumarate. Bivalent be obtained from sand This study aims to synthesize Indonesian sand, Malang, Sukabumi, Cianjur area, determine its absorption through vivo body weight ga...

Iron deficiency and related iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) are the most prevalent nutritional disorders worldwide. The standard treatment involves supplementation with solid or liquid iron supplement preparations, usually based on a ferrous salt such as ferrous sulphate, ferrous fumarate, or ferrous gluconate.

Many iron fortificants have problems of imparting unacceptable colour and taste to the food product, decreasing the stability and bioavailability of iron. In this study, a novel method of developing a bioavailable iron fortificant is presented. Chelation and encapsulation are used to preserve iron in ferrous state, and also to minimize the unacceptable colour changes imparted by the fortificant...
