Iron
Iron sources with high solubility and
stable sources in microdispersion
Stabilized Iron Sources
Our mineral salts not only add value to our customers’ products by giving them specific nutritional properties, but also they pave the way for focusing their business on special nutritional needs and better positioning in the market.
By incorporating essential minerals, standard products become a functional alternative for specific market segments.
stabilized ferrous gluconate
Bioferroso A.A.S.®
Iron source with high solubility

High Solubility
The high solubility allows mineral sources to be incorporated in small volumes as product constituents.
The high solubility facilitates the incorporation of the mineral sources into the food process.
stabilized ferric pyrophosphatee
Ferric Pyrophosphate
A.A.S.® HS (Fe 5.5%)
Iron source with high solubility

High Solubility
The high solubility allows mineral sources to be incorporated in small volumes as product constituents.
The high solubility facilitates the incorporation of the mineral sources into the food process.
stabilized ferric pyrophosphate
Ferric Pyrophosphate
A.A.S.® (Fe 15.0%)
Iron source stable in microdispersions

Stable in microdispersion
Stability in micro-dispersion allows mineral sources not to precipitate, thus not altering the taste while undergoing thermic processes without any inconvenience.
microencapsulated
stabilized ferric pyrophosphatee
Ferric Pyrophosphate
A.A.S.® (Fe 15.0%)
Iron source stable in microdispersions

Stable in microdispersion
Stability in micro-dispersion allows mineral sources not to precipitate, thus not altering the taste while undergoing thermic processes without any inconvenience.

Nutritional Definitions
Forbes&Erdman, Ann. Rev. Nutr. 1983, 3, 213Bioavailability
Proportion of a nutrient that is
digested/absorbed and metabolized
through normal pathways.
In nutrition sciences the bioavailability of an essential metal is determined by its metabolic utilization. For this purpose the concept of "total utilization" defines the fraction of a nutrient that is ultimately used in metabolism after its digestion, absorption, and distribution.Schümann&Elsenhans, J. Trace Elem. Biol. 2002, 16/3, 139
Bioavailability is defined as the efficiency with which a dietary component is used systematically through normal metabolic pathways. It is expressed as a percentage of intakes and is known to be influenced by dietary and host factors.Aggett, Am.J.Clin.Nutr. 2010, 91(S), 1433S
