DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2017.08.110
Abstract: The determination of iron in fortified foods is mandatory by many global regulatory agencies. However, the spectroscopic techniques require elevated investments limiting their applicability especially in developing countries. Therefore, simple, viable and analytical methods with… read more here.
