Ferric Pyrophosphate CAS:10058-44-3 Manufacturer Supplier

Ferric pyrophosphate is an important kind of compounds insoluble in water and also poorly soluble in dilute acid. It does not modify organoleptic characteristics of foods because of its white colour and low reactivity, making it suitable for many difficult-to-fortify food vehicles, such as salt, cereals, infant formulas, and rice. It has been demonstrated to be an effective iron fortificant from efficacy studies. However, the poor solubility of ferric pyrophosphate in gastric juice limits its bioavailability, which furthemore reduces its nutritional value. The relative bioavailability value (RBV) of ferric pyrophosphate was reported to be only about 50% from human studies.

Application and Effect

Ferric Pyrophosphate is a nutrient supplement, tan or yellowish white in color, prepared by reacting sodium pyrophosphate with ferric citrate. the ingredient may be used in infant formula. it is also termed iron (iii) pyrophosphate.Iron(III) Pyrophosphate can be used as an iron supplement for people with iron deficiencies. Ferric pyrophosphate is an iron replacement product, is a mixed-ligand iron complex in which iron (III) is bound to pyrophosphate and citrate. It is widely used to fortify cereal flours and infant cereals, dispersible ferric pyrophosphate is as well absorbed as ferrous sulfate in adults. pyrophosphate ions participate in the ion transfer processes. These ions, as chelating agents, would release iron from transferrin and form a ferric pyrophosphate complex, and that pyrophosphate alone has the ability to mediate iron exchange from transferring to ferritin. Ferric pyrophosphate citrate should only be added to the bicarbonate concentrate; do not add to acid concentrate mixtures. Ferric pyrophosphate citrate is not intended for use in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis; it has not been studied in patients receiving home hemodialysis.
