Iron fortification of infant cereals: a proposal for the use of ferrous fumarate or ferrous succinate13 (original) (raw)

ABSTRACI' Hemoglobin-repletion tests in rats, organoleptic studies, and iron-absorption studies in humans were used to search for Fe sources with high bioavailability that could be added to infant cereals as alternatives to the Fe compounds currently used for fortification. From rat and organoleptic studies on 1 1 alternative Fe sources, ferrous fumarate, ferrous succi- nate, and ferric saccharate were selected
