“…On the contrary, studies regarding the contribution of this type of food to human mineral requirements are scarce in the scientific literature. It is known that essential elements such as Na, K, P, Ca, Mg, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Mo play a fundamental role in vital processes and are basically provided from the diet. , Padrón et al evaluated the content of some microelements, including Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Sr, V, and Zn in commercialized vegetable burgers. The authors found significant contents (in wet weight) of Cu (2.4 mg kg –1 ), Fe (13.9 mg kg –1 ), Mn (5.0 mg kg –1 ), and Zn (8.3 mg kg –1 ), showing that the analyzed vegetable burgers are potential sources of these minerals.…”
