GENERIC ALGORITHM SOLUTION IN ESTIMATION OF THE IRON ABSORPTION POTENTIAL FROM COMPLEX SCHOOL MEALS

New analytical tools to study iron bioavailability are proposed in this article. An algorithm was devised to predict dietary iron abortion from school meals based on the contents of dietary factors that have the ability to promote or inhibit heme or non-heme iron absorption. The highest absorption r...

description New analytical tools to study iron bioavailability are proposed in this article. An algorithm was devised to predict dietary iron abortion from school meals based on the contents of dietary factors that have the ability to promote or inhibit heme or non-heme iron absorption. The highest absorption rate of iron from representative meals was observed in the presence of ascorbic acid (27,73%) or meat ingredients (27,70%), and the lowest absorption rate – in the presence of Ca (12,40%), tannins (5,83%) and polyphenols (5,36%). Relationships between quantities of total iron intake from foods (dialyzable iron, in vitro assay) and the value of nutritional factors in those are described as exponential equations allowing calculations at any stationary state. In elaborated formula the rate of iron absorbance can be predicted considering one, two or three nutritional factors at the same time. The results emphasize the fact that it is important to understand the meal composition for the correct estimation of iron bioavailability.
