Determination of iron in milk and other biological materials

“…THE accurate determination of iron in milk has acquired greater importance on account of the recent work on nutritional anemia. As reported in the literature, the iron content of milk varies widely, but in an excellent review of the subject, Nottbohm and Weisswange (21) point out that this variation should be attributed less to the milk itself than to the inaccuracy of the method of analysis.
