A novel, high precision multiple‐meal stable isotope method to compare iron absorption from extruded FePP‐fortified rice containing different zinc compounds, citric acid/trisodium citrate and EDTA in Ghanaian children
Abstract:Rice fortification can be a viable approach to combat iron deficiency in rice‐consuming populations, but it is crucial to identify micronutrient formulations with high iron bioavailability and acceptable sensory properties. To date, ferric phosphates are the only iron compounds resulting in sensory acceptable iron fortified rice grains.We measured fractional iron absorption (FAFe) from isotopically labeled ferric‐pyrophosphate (54FePP, 57FePP, 58FePP) in a cross‐over multiple meal absorption study. Fortified e… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
