Using dairy foods as a vehicle for supplementing iron seems to be advantage as ironfortified dairy foods have a relatively high iron bioavailability. In this regard, a study was designed to formulate microencapsulated whey protein-chelated iron (Fe-wp) using ferrous sulphate that could be used to fortify yoghurt and to determine the TBA values and some important sensorial attributes of the developed yoghurt. Influence of iron on survival of yoghurt culture, TBA values of yoghurt and sensory properties of yoghurt were tested by control, free iron and encapsulated iron fortification.

Plant nutrition plays a major role in quantitative and qualitative crop production in bringing sustainability and plants require seventeen essential elements for their normal growth and development. Among these, those elements required smaller in quantity is called micronutrients (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, B, Cl, Mo and Ni). Micronutrients are essentially as important as macronutrients to have better growth, yield and quality in plants.

Brucellosis is an infectious disease, has a considerable impact on animal health as well as socioeconomic impacts. It causes significant reproductive losses in sexually mature animals. The present study reports the isolation, identification and molecular detection of Brucella abortus. A total of 192 buffalo clinical samples were processed by cultural isolation on BBL Brucella agar plate with selective antibiotic supplements and direct PCR.

Zinc and iron deficiencies in human nutrition are widespread in developing countries of the world where cereal crops are the major staple food. Effects are therefore underway to develop cereal genotypes with grains denser in Zn and Fe by traditional plant breeding or using genetic engineering techniques. This approach requires a long period and adequate funds. However, the products of genetic engineering are not well accepted in many countries. Agronomic biofortification is the easiest and fastest way for biofortification of cereal grains with Zn and Fe.

Two Pseudomonas spp. are isolated from different natural sources i.e. soil rhizosphere and marine water on selective media like cetrimide agar base and King’s B medium. Pseudomonas fluorescence NCIM 5096 and other two isolated of Pseudomonas produced siderophore with the yield 71%, 72.33%, 33% of hydroxamate type, in iron free succinate medium (SM). Nutrient medium inhibited the growth of siderophore while the succinate medium gave the maximum production of siderophore. pH has important role in production of siderophore i.e.

The food and nutrition security of the population has been the matter of concern world over. Problem in attaining food and nutrition security is prominent particularly in developing world. Protein calories malnutrition is major nutritional problem of the world. To treat malnutrition among the pre-school children the formulation of locally based protein rich product is must hence attempt was made to formulate soy based food product such as soy-poha ladoo.

Micronutrient malnutrition has reached to alarming situation with billions of people suffering from Iron, Zinc and Vitamin-A deficiencies. Micronutrient supplementation, food fortification, and biofortification are the three basic approaches used to alleviate micronutrient deficiencies. In the present study ten genotypes rich in iron were used.

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) is the most important grain legume crop grown in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In India cowpea is grown as sole, mix-crop, intercrop systems. Cowpea is however, the only pulse suited to both arid and semi-arid regions and adapted better than any other pulses in high rainfall regions. As a good source of proteins, calcium and iron, it is recognized for many routine uses of food, feed, forage, fodder, vegetable and a number of dishes prepared from its grains.

Dietary antioxidants (total ascorbate, α-tocopherol and total carotenoids) and micronutrient (iron, calcium, zinc, copper and manganese) content of 25 fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) genotypes were evaluated under the present investigation. Higher α-tocopherol and total carotenoid content i.e., 43.080±1.542 mg α-tocopherol/100 g dry wt. and 4.890±0.047 g carotenoids/100 g dry wt. was observed in RMt-305. The genotype RMt-143 showed highest iron, calcium and manganese content i.e., 184.11±1.639, 781.20±4.790 and 25.65±0.695 µg/g dry wt., respectively.

One of the benefits of mungbeans is its nutritional properties. Of the seven essential micronutrients, especially iron and zinc play a vital role in human and animal health. Breeding for varieties with a potential high concentration of micronutrients should be complemented with studies of environmental effects on the accumulation of micronutrients in seeds. Our major emphasis was to see the effect of iron and zinc supplementation on seed micronutrient content and other agronomic traits.

This case underlines the importance of adequately controlling maternal vitamin B12 intake during pregnancy by means of supplementation which, in the case of vegan mothers, should be significantly greater than that usually given. Moreover, the supplementation should be continued during lactation in order to avoid the development of signs of deficiency that may be associated with persistent neurological problems in infants.

Iron deficiency prevalence rates frequently exceed 50 % in young children in low-income countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended universal supplementation of young children where anaemia rates are >40 %. However, large randomized trials have revealed that provision of iron to young children caused serious adverse effects because iron powerfully promotes microbial growth.

Although antenatal iron supplementation is beneficial to mothers, its impact on the neurodevelopment of offspring is controversial. A systematic review and meta-analysis was undertaken to assess whether routine maternal antenatal iron supplementation confers later neurodevelopmental benefit to offspring.

Adolescents constitute over 21.4 % of the population in India. This age group needs special attention as is a period of rapid transition from childhood to adulthood that normally is characterized by important psychological and social changes in the age group of 10 -19 years. The adolescents number is expected to reach 1.13 billion by the year 2025. It is during the period of adolescence that nutrient needs are the greatest.

The VLBW and SGA preterm infants showed significant catch-up growth during their first year of life. However, SGA and VLBW were risk factors for poor growth during the preterm infants’ first year of life. Prophylactic iron supplementation in preterm infants appears to reduce the prevalence of anemia.
