Al-okbiFood Sciences and Nutrition Department, National Research Centre, Dokki, Giza, Egypt.In the present research, two iron concentrates prepared from fruit and vegetable juices in addition to other plant foods products expected to be rich in iron and nutrients that enhance iron absorption have been chemically and biologically evaluated. Iron and Zn and other mineral and phytochemicals that have been claimed to reduce iron absorption (Ca, polyphenols and tannins) and micronutrients that reported to enhance iron absorption (Vitamin C, toccopherols and carotenoids) have been determined. The efficiency and safety of iron concentrates were evaluated in iron deficiency model of rats. Thanaa E. Hamed, Doha A. Mohamed, Abeer A. Afifi, Sahar Y. Al-okbi.
