FERROUS GLYCINATE (PROCESSED WITH CITRIC ACID)

Chemical and Technical Assessment 61st JECFA 1 (5) FERROUS GLYCINATE ( processed with CITRIC acid ) Chemical and Technical Assessment (CTA) First draft prepared by Inge Meyland FAO 2004 1 Summary This substance has not previously been evaluated by JECFA. FERROUS GLYCINATE is an iron (II) chelate of the amino acid glycine. It is manufactured by reaction of reduced iron with glycine in presence of CITRIC acid . At chemical equilibrium over 97% of the FERROUS ions are chelated. The resulting product is spray dried without previous removal of the CITRIC acid to obtain a powder.
