J. (AFRC Institute of Food Research, Colney Lane, Norwich NR4 7UA, Norfolk, UK) Iron and its availability.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The iron stores of full\u2010term, breast\u2010fed infants become depleted by the age of 6 months, but this may occur earlier when they are fed formula that is not fortified with iron. There is a high requirement for iron, and therefore the selection of appropriate weaning foods is critical at this time. Continued consumption of breast milk or iron\u2010fortified formulas until the age of one year will help maintain an adequate iron status, particularly in infants given diets of low iron availability. Many dietary constituents affect the availability of inorganic iron from foods, the most important ones in the case of the infant are ascorbic acid and haem iron, both of which enhance the absorption of inorganic iron. The majority of commercially\u2010prepared infant foods contain added iron and ascorbic acid, thereby providing sufficent absorbable iron for the growing infant. On the other hand, the results of the few studies that have been carried out on infants suggest that many unfortified vegetable and cereal meals contain iron of low availability. This can, however, be increased by the simultaneous intake of fruit juices high in ascorbic acid. The recent advances made in stable isotope methodology should facilitate studies on iron absorption in infants, thereby leading to a better understanding of iron availability from foods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/apa.1989.78.s361.12","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,12]],"date-time":"2018-02-12T14:50:15Z","timestamp":1518447015000},"page":"12-20","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Iron in Food and Its Availability"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"78","author":[{"given":"SUSAN J.","family":"FAIRWEATHER-TAIT","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0271-5317(87)80021-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","first-page":"425","volume-title":"Iron metabolism in man","author":"Bothwell TH","year":"1979"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/ac50001a034"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"844","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/46.5.844","article-title":"Nonradioisotopic method for measuring iron absorption from a Gambian meal","volume":"46","author":"Fairweather-Tait SJ","year":"1987","journal-title":"Am J Clin Nutr"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","first-page":"256","volume-title":"Iron metabolism in man","author":"Bothwell TH","year":"1979"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","volume-title":"Rep Health Soc Subj No 32","author":"DHSS","year":"1988"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(77)80439-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1203\/00006450-197903000-00001"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_1","first-page":"640","article-title":"Bioavailability of iron in soy-based formula and its effect on iron nutriture in infancy","volume":"78","author":"Hertrampf E","year":"1986","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_1","first-page":"95","volume-title":"Iron nutrition in infancy and childhood","author":"Lonnerdal B.","year":"1984"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"393","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0954-6820.1974.tb01030.x","article-title":"Lactoferrin and iron absorption in the small intestine","volume":"196","author":"deVet BJCM","year":"1974","journal-title":"Acta Med Scand"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1203\/00006450-198712000-00007"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005176-198311000-00021"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.1987.tb10525.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_16_1","unstructured":"1987 Academic Press Iron ER Morris W Mertz Trace elements in human and animal nutrition 110"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_17_1","first-page":"63","volume-title":"Zinc in human biology","author":"Sandstr\u00f6m B","year":"1989"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"484","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/45.2.484","article-title":"Determination of iron in stools as a method to monitor consumption of iron-fortified products in infants","volume":"45","author":"Pizzaro F","year":"1987","journal-title":"Am J Clin Nutr"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"108","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/47.1.108","article-title":"Iron intake and iron nutritional status of infants fed iron-fortified beikost with meat","volume":"47","author":"Haschke F","year":"1988","journal-title":"Am J Clin Nutr"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_20_1","first-page":"459","article-title":"Inhibition of iron absorption from human milk by baby food","volume":"134","author":"Oski FA","year":"1980","journal-title":"Am J Dis Child"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/BJN19730064"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.nu.01.070181.001011"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_23_1","first-page":"23","volume-title":"Iron metabolism in man","author":"Bothwell TH","year":"1979"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_24_1","first-page":"109","article-title":"A quantitative study of the absorption of food iron in infants and children","volume":"95","author":"Schultz J","year":"1958","journal-title":"Am J Dis Child"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/BJN19730101"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_26_1","first-page":"307","article-title":"Iron status and dietary patterns in young children","volume":"35","author":"Hercberg S","year":"1987","journal-title":"Nutr Rep Int"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_27_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"614","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/29.6.614","article-title":"Food iron absorption in man.
