Iron-Polyphenol Interaction Reduces Iron Bioavailability in Fortified Tea: Competing Complexation to Ensure Iron Bioavailability

Abstract: Tea seems to be like a logical substrate for iron fortification; however, its fortification with iron presents technical challenges as tea polyphenols form a blue complex with iron that makes both of them unavailable for absorption. The objective of this work was to develop an effective technology, to prevent the interaction of iron and polyphenols by using EDTA as a competing complexing agent. Fortified tea was prepared from premix, prepared by spraying iron and sodium EDTA into tea leaves. Iron concentration… Show more

“…High iron levels (200-250 mg/kg body weight) in drinking water may cause many ill effects and can be lethal (Prashanth et al 2015). The presence of a high level of iron in the food products also effects taste, color, and appearance due to reaction with the phenolic compounds (Dueik et al 2017). Hence, it is necessary to remove iron ions.…”

“…Each of the earthen pots gave about 10 ml of Mah ı. The Mah ı samples from M5 to M8 were prepared with added iron and were black, which can be attributed to the dark blue-black complexes of the polyphenols with iron [36]. The samples M1-M4 were prepared without the addition of iron in the form of rusted nails.…”

“…58,59 Numerous animal, in vitro, and acute intervention studies have proposed that iron stores may play a role in the beneficial vascular effects of some polyphenols. 60,61 Hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein, which facilitates the transport of oxygen to cells, as well as CO 2 , that are heavily involved in the body's respiratory exchange. 4 Iron absorbed from the gut is bound to plasma transferrin and transported to the marrow, where it is delivered to developing cells and incorporated into hemoglobin.…”
