Notes:
Stable iron-containing syrups were developed to provide a liquid iron source that could be conveniently added to foods. Iron-fortified syrups were prepared by combining either corn syrup or sucrose, or both, with water, heating to boiling, cooling to 180–200°F and blending in an aqueous iron solution. Syrups were all-sucrose (67% solids); blends of 15% sugar (sucrose) with either regular or high-conversion corn syrups (75% solids). Iron sources were ferric ammonium citrate, ferrous sulfate, ferric choline citrate and ferrous gluconate at the available iron level of 0.015% (100 mg/pint). These iron-fortified syrups were stable during storage for 2 months at 120°F, 6 months at 100°F and 1 year at 77° except for combinations of ferrous forms with blends containing either 15% sugar and regular corn syrup or ferrous sulfate in all-sugar. Although flavor evaluations indicate that iron is readily detectable, iron-fortified syrups had satisfactory flavors before and after storage. These fortified syrups seem suitable for enrichment of infant formulas
