Abstract
The iron contents of Brazilian infant diets cooked in iron utensils and in aluminum utensils were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The increase of iron in diets cooked in iron utensils was 6 to 39 times greater than in diets cooked in aluminum utensils. The pH and moisture of the diets cooked in the two types of utensils did not differ in a statistically significant manner. On the basis of these results, it was estimated that the increase in daily iron supply obtained by cooking the diet in iron utensils would be sufficient to satisfy the iron requirements of nursing infants.
