13-mineral Flashcards
(92 cards)
what are the minor components?
Minerals, vitamins and organic acids, enzymes and alcohols,Nutraceuticals
ex of Nutraceuticals
( e.g. phenolic compounds, pigments such as anthocyanines, some fatty acids, some peptides).
what is the classification based on?
distribution and amount of component
what is mineral?
inorganic species or substances that are of neither animal nor plant origin (i.e., natural compounds generally not containing a C, H, O, or N skeleton).
mineral don’t contain?
CHON skeleton
what are the dietary macro mineral?
Calcium (Ca) Magnesium (Mg) Sodium (Na) Potassium (K) Phosphorus (P) Chlorine (Cl) and Sulfur
how much does dietary macro mineral need daily?
more than 100mg/day by adult
ex of Food safety- contamination or adulteration
siliceous matter in grains/cereals. Sea food contamination with heavy metal
ex of food fraud?
vege protein VS animal protein
which mineral need to be labled?
The Food and Drug Regulations mandated labeling of Sodium, iron, and calcium contents
why label Ca Na AND Fe
their important roles in controlling hypertension, preventing anemia, and impeding the development of osteoporosis.
Fortification of some foods has allowed addition of ___?
minerals above levels ever expected naturally.
ex of fortification
1- Prepared breakfast cereals often are fortified with minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc.
2- Fortification of salt with iodine.
3- Salt is added as a preservative; this increases significantly the sodium content in foods such as processed meats, pickles, and processed cheese.

ultra trace mineral
heavy metal
what is macromineral
required at more than 100 mg per day by the adult.
what is trace mineral
are required in milli- or microgram quantities per day
what is ultra trace mineral
are being investigated for possible biological function, but they currently do not have clearly defined biochemical role
what is heavy metal
toxic to the body

evaporate whole milk has ___ calcium content, butter with salt has ___ calcium content
high
low
5 method to analysis food minerals
1- Potentiometry using ion-selective electrodes (ISEs)
2- Anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV)
3- Titrimetry
4- Colorimetric methods or spectrophotometry methods.
5- Instrumental methods:
what does Potentiometry use and base on?
ISE
Based on a sensor (transducer) that specifically bind to the dissolved ions to produce electrical potential
