| Abstract | |
Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) established, by resolution RDC Nº344, mandatory fortification of wheat flour and corn flour with iron and folic acid. However, to ensure the efficiency of the fortification program, it is important to get information about iron consumption from fortified food and guarantee the quality of the products. The aim of this study was to validate and apply a methodology for iron determination by flame atomic absorption in pasta and cake produced with wheat flour fortified with iron. In addition, humidity, acidity and peroxide index were determined to check the quality of the products. In order to assess the efficiency of the mineralization, residual carbon was determined by inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. The results revealed that the mineralization was efficient and the method demonstrated accuracy, precision, linearity and adequate detection limit and quantification limit. The results of iron determination showed that the iron content of dried pasta, instant noodle, pizza dough, samosa dough, orange cake and fresh lasagna sheets ranged from 2,5 to 7,1 mg 100 g-1 (on average 5,0 mg 100 g-1), from 2,4 to 5,5 mg 100 g-1 (on average 4,3 mg 100 g-1), from 2,0 mg 100 g-1 to 5,5 mg 100 g-1 (on average 3,8 mg 100 g-1), from 1,0 to 4,9 mg 100 g-1 (on average 2,9 mg 100 g-1), from 1,1 to 3,1 mg 100 g-1 (on average 2,1 mg 100 g-1) and from 0,7 to 4,7 mg 100 g-1 (on average 2,9 mg 100 g-1),respectively. The humidity of dried pasta, instant noodle, pizza dough, samosa dough, pizza dough, fresh lasagna sheets and orange cake ranged from 9,5% to 12,3%, from 3,3% to 7,1%, from 19,5% e 29,6%, from 25,7% to 31,3%, from 26,6% to 33,1% e from 16,3% to 26,5%, respectively. The acidity of dried pasta, instant noodle, pizza dough, samosa dough, fresh lasagna sheets and orange cake ranged from 1,4 to 3,2 mL of 1 mol L-1 NaOH solution 100 g-1, from 0,3 to 1,0 mL of 1 mol L-1 NaOH solution 100 g-1, from 2,9 to 4,6 mL 1mol L-1 NaOH solution 100 g-1, from 0,9 to 6,6 mL 1mol L-1 NaOH solution 100 g-1, from 1,7 to 3,7 mL de solução 1 mol L-1 de NaOH 100 g-1 and from 1,3 to 2,5 mL 1mol L-1 NaOH solution 100 g-1, respectively. The peroxide index of instant noodle ranged from 4,0 mEq kg-1 to 12,0 mEq kg-1. The results reveal that samples had good physicochemical quality, however there was a wide variation in the products (AU) | |
