Study Notes
Fortification of Breakfast Cereals
- Fortification includes essential minerals such as Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), and Zinc (Zn).
- Considered important to enhance nutritional value in breakfast cereals.
Mineral Stability
- Minerals, like ash, exhibit low volatility and do not decompose at high temperatures.
- Certain food processing methods can lead to the loss of minerals.
Titration Method
- Titration involves measuring the concentration of an analyte using a reagent that forms a complex with it.
- The strength of the interaction between the analyte and the titrant surpasses that of the indicator and titrant interaction.
- Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is commonly used as a titrant.
Ash Content and Mineral Analysis
- Ash content refers to the inorganic residue remaining after complete combustion or oxidation of organic matter in food.
- Mineral content measures specific inorganic components' quantities in food, which aids in quality assessment.
Health Considerations
- Sodium (Na) intake is linked to hypertension, making monitoring important in dietary choices.
