Food Grade Iron - IMP
Iron Powders have multiple applications in various fields. There are mainly three types of elemental forms of iron powders, Food grade iron, Atomized powder, and Electrolyte iron powder. Each type of powder is used in various applications depending on their physical and chemical properties. Reduced iron powder with FCC grade plays a vital role in today’s food and nutrition industry. It is usually produced by reducing the oxide part such as iron ore, rolled steel scales, etc, which by using solid or gaseous reducer such as coke, charcoal, water gas, reformed natural gas, ammonia, or hydrogen decomposition to generate the sponge iron.
However, IMP has a certain unique process to make the most stable form of food and pharma grade of reduced iron powders. We use pure form of iron to make the pure for reduced iron powder with world-class Equipements and manufacturing facility located in Pune, India.
IMP is one of the renowned manufacturers of reduced iron powder which exhibits excellent bioavailability and high purity as compared to other reduced iron powders. IMP is the only reduced iron powder manufacturer to have ISO 9001, ISO14001, ISO 22000 & OHSAS 18001 and have implemented HACCP & GMP principles in their work to render the best of the product. Let’s have a look at the top 5 features of reduced iron powder that makes it worth buying.
Excellent Bioavailability:
is a term used in nutritional & environmental sciences and pharmacology that refers to the degree and rate at which an administered drug is absorbed by the body’s circulatory system. Iron metabolism differs from other minerals because the iron balance in the human body is regulated by absorption only because there is no physiologic mechanism for iron excretion. According to isotope studies, iron bioavailability has been estimated to be in the range of 14-18% for mixed diets and 5-12% for vegetarian diets in subjects with no iron storesIf a substance or element has great bioavailability that means it has a high absorption rate. With high bioavailability, reduced iron powder can be used as an effective iron fortificant
