Results of the BfR MEAL Study: The food type has a stronger impact on calcium, potassium and phosphorus levels than factors such as seasonality, regionality and type of production
Published in “Food Chemistry”. The BfR MEAL Study aims to provide representative levels of chemical substances in foods consumed by the population in Germany for dietary exposure assessment. Calcium, potassium and phosphorus (Ca, K, P) are essential to obtain physiological functions in humans. Levels were investigated in 356 foods. Foods were purchased representatively, prepared as typically […]
Livelli di fosforo, potassio e calcio nei prodotti alimentari biologici e convenzionali: una ricerca tedesca
Uno studio tedesco, BfR MEAL , ha analizzato 356 prodotti alimentari e ha trovato livelli simili di fosforo (P), potassio (K) e calcio (Ca) tra prodotti biologici e non biologici (convenzionali). Differenze significative sono emerse per le olive: Ca più basso, forse dovuto all’additivo cloruro di calcio usato nel sistema convenzionale, K più alto, forse […]
