Iron deficiency reaches epidemic proportions in infants, particularly those of low socioeconomic status.1 In an attempt to decrease the frequency of this deficiency, iron fortification of infant cereals and cow's milk formulas has been advocated.2 Although the prevention of iron deficiency is a valid nutritional goal, concern has recently been voiced about possible detrimental effects of iron supplementation.3,1 This concern has been based on studies indicating an association between hyperferremia and serious infection,3,6 and also by denionstrations that the bacteriostatic properties of serum and milk can be abolished by the addition of iron.7,8 These findings have been extrapolated into suggestions that the iron supplementation of cow's milk formulas might predispose the infants consuming them to an increased risk of bacterial infection and even that ironcontaining formulas might be contraindicated.4

Purpose Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the most major micronutrient deficiencies worldwide. Food fortification is one strategy for reducing IDA in the population despite concern regarding the gut pathogenic bacteria overgrowth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of iron encapsulation in banana peel matrix on iron status and gut microbiota composition in iron deficiency anemia. Design/methodology/approach Anemia was induced in 35 male Sprague Dawley rats of age two weeks by the administration of iron-free diet for two weeks. Rats then randomly divided into control, iron-fortified tempeh (temFe) dose 10 and 20 ppm, iron matrix-fortified tempeh dose 10 and 20 ppm and iron matrix fortified tempeh dose 10 and 20 ppm with probiotic mixture. Blood was drawn at Weeks 2 and 6 for hemoglobin and serum iron analysis. Rats were sacrificed at the end of Week 6, and cecal contents were collected for Lactobacillus, Bifidobacteria and Enterobactericeae analysis. Findings Hemoglobin and serum iron were significantly increased (p < 0.05) in all iron-fortified group with the highest value found in iron matrix dose 20 ppm (10.71 ± 0.15 g/dl and 335.83 ± 2.17 µg/dl, respectively). The cecal Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria did not differ significantly between groups. Cecal Enterobactericeae was significantly different (p < 0.05) among groups with the lowest level in the temFe-20 (2.65 ± 0.78 log CFU) group. Research limitations/implications The use of commercial inoculum instead of pure Rhizopus oligosporus mold for developing the fortified tempeh may impact the effect of product on cecal gut microbiota composition, as different molds and lactic acid bacteria can grow in tempeh when using commercial inoculum. Social implications In Indonesia, iron fortification is conducted primarily in noodles and flour that limits the impact of iron fortification for reducing IDA in population. Iron fortification in food that was daily consumed by people, that is, tempeh, is potential strategy in reducing IDA in population. Originality/value Tempeh fortification using encapsulated iron improved iron status and gut microbiota composition in iron deficiency anemia.

The Impact

Abstract BackgroundHigh body iron stores have been associated with risk for non-communicable diseases (NCD) like diabetes (high fasting blood sugar, FBS), hypertension (HTN) or dyslipidaemia (high total cholesterol, TC) in adults, but not in adolescent children. This is relevant to iron supplementation and food iron fortification programs that are directed at Indian children. MethodsThe association of NCD with serum ferritin (SF) was examined using logistic additive models, adjusted for confounders such as age, Body Mass Index, C-Reactive Protein, haemoglobin and sex, in adolescent (10-19 years old) participants of the Indian Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey. The interaction of these associations with wealth and co-existing prediabetes was also examined. A scenario analysis was also done to understand the impact of iron fortification of cereals on the prevalence NCD among adolescents.ResultsThe odds ratio (OR) of high FBS, HTN and TC were 1.05 (95% CI 1.01-1.08), 1.02 (95% CI: 1.001-1.03) and 1.04 (95% CI: 1.01-1.06) respectively for every 10µg/L increase in SF. The odds for high TC increased with co-existing prediabetes. The scenario analysis showed that providing 10 mg of iron/day by fortification could increase the prevalence of high FBS by 2%-14% across states of India. Similar increments in HTN and TC can also be expected.ConclusionsHigh SF is associated with a significant risk for NCD in adolescents, and this is dependent on the wealth class, and on co-existing prediabetes. This should be considered when evaluating the benefits and harms of enhancing iron intake in anaemia prevention programs.

Growth Development

Seventy-four full-term and 42 premature infants were studied from birth to 9 months of age in relation to intake of iron. All were maintained on a vitamin-supplemented milk diet, and approximately a third had iron supplementation of 12 mg in 32 fluid ounces of milk intake. Significant differences between groups as regards growth, development or number of illnesses were not apparent. The infants fed supplemental iron had higher values for hemoglobin, hematocrit and serum iron, after 3 to 3½ months of age, and these values continued to be significantly higher throughout the 9-month period of observation. Among the infants who received no iron supplement, 2 full-term and 16 premature infants developed evidence of anemia, which responded quickly when the infants were changed to the iron-fortified formula. No signs of toxicity or difficulty were noted in the iron-supplemented group, nor of lack of acceptability by the infants of any formula used in the study.
