The Utilization for Hemoglobin Regeneration of the Iron in Salts Used in the Enrichment of Flour and Bread

Abstract
The availability of the iron in sodium iron pyrophosphate, ferrum reductum and ferric phytate for hemoglobin regeneration in anemic rats was compared in paired-feeding experiments with that of ferric chloride. The total storage of iron in rats on the various test diets was also determined by carcass analysis. The results of the experiments, involving a total of thirty-five pairs of rats, would seem to justify the following conclusions:
