The Spanish market offers a significant number of folic acid (FA) voluntarily fortified foods. We analysed FA and (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid ((6S)-5-CH3-H4PteGlu) content in ready-to-eat cereals (RTEC) (n=68) and cow's milk (n=25) by a previously validated affinity chromatography-HPLC method. Contribution to potential FA intakes for children aged 2-13years, was assessed using food consumption data from a representative nationwide study, folate Recommended Dietary Intakes (RDI), and Upper Levels (UL). Results showed that at all food fortification levels obtained, fortified products provided more than tenfold FA than (6S)-5-CH3-H4PteGlu. For RTEC, the high fortification level provided 6-21%, per serving, of RDI and ⩽32% of ULs at 90th percentile of RTEC consumption (P90). Milk products fortified at the higher level reached on average 54-136% of RDI per serving and only exceeded UL at P90 of milk consumption in children aged 2-5years.
西班牙市场提供了大量的叶酸(FA)自愿强化食品。我们采用经先前验证的亲和层析-HPLC 方法,分析了即食谷物(RTEC)(n=68)和牛奶(n=25)中的 FA 和(6S)-5-甲基四氢叶酸((6S)-5-CH3-H4PteGlu)含量。利用全国代表性研究的食物消费数据、叶酸推荐膳食摄入量(RDI)和上限(UL),评估了这些产品对 2-13 岁儿童潜在 FA 摄入量的贡献。结果表明,在所有获得的强化水平下,强化产品提供的 FA 是(6S)-5-CH3-H4PteGlu 的十倍以上。对于 RTEC,高强化水平提供了每份 6-21%的 RDI,以及在 RTEC 消费 90 百分位(P90)时 ⩽32%的 UL(90 百分位时的上限)。强化水平较高的奶制品平均每份提供 54-136%的 RDI,且仅在 2-5 岁儿童的牛奶消费 P90 时超过 UL。
