Ferrous picolinate: a novel fortificant for sensitive dairy products (opens in new tab)

Ferrous picolinate is introduced as a novel iron fortificant designed to overcome the challenges of iron supplementation in polyphenol-rich dairy products. This study evaluates its stability and bioaccessibility in ambient milky desserts containing 25% fruit, stored under accelerated shelf-life conditions for 4 months. Colorimetric analysis demonstrated that ferrous picolinate does not alter the color of polyphenol-rich desserts, outperforming conventional fortificants. Furthermore, in vitro ...
