ABSTRACT: Phytic acid, a potent inhibitor of mineral and trace element absorption, occurs in all cereal grains legume seeds. The possibility to increase phytase activity and/or reduce the phytic acid content by soaking germination was investigated wide range seeds, but not found be effective. Germination, soaking, increased 3 5‐fold some while influence on insignificant most materials tested. High apparent untreated whole grain rye, wheat, triticale, buckwheat, barley. Their usefulness as...
A stable isotope technique has been developed which uses 57 Fe and 58 as labels enables the simultaneous measurement of absorption from two test meals in infants. The method was evaluated by measuring a commercial whey-adjusted infant formula nine healthy infants aged 13–25 weeks. Each fed 210 ml formula, labelled with either or Fe, on four consecutive mornings, random order. total content each feed 2.5 mg Fe; 0 6 plus 1.9 normal isotopic composition. Isotopic enrichment erythrocytes...
AIMS This study had 2 aims: to report data on the incidence of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes in Kuwaiti children aged 0-14 years during 2011 2013 and compare recent with those collected 1992 1997. METHODS All newly diagnosed patients were registered through Childhood-Onset Diabetes eRegistry (CODeR) 2011-2013, based DiaMond protocol used 1992-1997. RESULTS A total 515 (247 boys 268 girls) from January 31 December 2013. Data ascertainment 96.7%. The mean age ± SD at diagnosis was 8.7 3.4...
Ferric pyrophosphate is a water-insoluble Fe compound used to fortify infant cereals and chocolate-drink powders as it causes no organoleptic changes the food vehicle. However, only of low absorption in man. Recently, an innovative ferric has been developed (Sunactive Fe™) based on small-particle-size (average size 0·3 μm) mixed with emulsifiers, so that remains suspension liquid products. The aim present studies was compare micronised, dispersible ferrous sulfate cereal yoghurt drink. Two...
