Ferric Pyrophosphate Forms Soluble Iron Coordination Complexes with Zinc Compounds and Solubilizing Agents in Extruded Rice and Predicts Increased Iron Solubility and Bioavailability in Young Women.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Co-extrusion of ferric pyrophosphate (FePP) with solubilizers, citric acid/trisodium citrate (CA/TSC), or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) sharply increases iron absorption. Whether this can protect against the inhibition of iron absorption by phytic acid (PA) is unclear. Sodium pyrophosphate (NaPP) may be a new enhancer of iron absorption from FePP.

Objectives

Our objectives were to 1) investigate the ligand coordination of iron, zinc, and solubilizers in extruded rice and test associations with iron solubility and absorption, 2) assess whether co-extrusion of FePP + CA/TSC rice can protect against inhibition of iron absorption by PA; 3) determine the effect of zinc oxide (ZnO) compared with zinc sulfate (ZnSO₄), and 4) quantify iron absorption f
