ABSTRACT

Cow milk and dairy products supply essential inorganic elements for humans, and constitute the most important source of bioavailable calcium in our diet. In order to obtain data about mineral nutrient composition of dairy products that are produced and sold in Argentina, the contents of Ca, P, Mg, Na, K, Fe, Zn and Cu in whole and low fat fluid milk, dried milk and yogurt were analyzed. P was assessed by a colorimetric method, and the other elements by atomic absorption spectroscopy. In raw milk, the mineral content shows a certain degree of variability, in addition to the variability introduced by the different processing conditions, in order to meet the requirements prescribed by trade regulations and to produce dairy products. In all cases, skimming increases the concentration of mineral nutrients, which is especially remarkable in Ca contained in skimmed milk powder. In yogurt, added milk solids like dried milk or evaporated milk appreciably increase the mineral content, even more so if ultrafiltrates are used. These ultrafiltrates increase the Ca/P ratio, which probably improves Ca bioavailability. The results obtained in these analyses provide data that are not yet available from the National Table of Food Composition, and which prove necessary and fundamental for nutritional and dietary evaluation.

ABSTRACT

La vitamina C incluye dos formas activas, ácido ascórbico (AA) y ácido dehidroascórbico (ADHA), que funcionan como un sistema redox interconvertible. El nivel de vitamina C en vegetales está condicionado por factores de orden climático y agronómico, por el manejo poscosecha y las condiciones de almacenamiento. Por tratarse de un nutriente extremadamente lábil, se producen pérdidas o deterioro durante su procesamiento. En los vegetales recién cosechados la vitamina se encuentra mayormente como AA, pero gradualmente pasa a ADHA, su forma oxidada. El ADHA es muy inestable y al escindirse su anillo lactónico se pierde la actividad vitamínica. A los efectos de determinar el nivel de vitamina C en jugos de limón fresco y procesado, tal cual lo adquiere el consumidor, se analizó el contenido de vitamina C y de sus formas biológicamente activas, en muestras tomadas al azar en supermercados y negocios minoristas. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que en los jugos analizados, los tiempos de poscosecha, las condiciones de almacenamiento y el procesado influyen notablemente sobre el contenido de la vitamina
