Table 3.
Amounts of vitamin D (cholecalciferol) and calcium required to achieve target fortification levels
Vitamin D | Value | Ca | Value |
---|---|---|---|
Estimated loss during flour processing | 15 % | Estimated loss during flour processing | 5 % |
Amount remaining (100 %−15 %) | 85 % | Amount remaining (100 %−5 %) | 95 % |
Estimated loss during bread processing | 30 % | Estimated loss during bread processing | 5 % |
Amount lost (85 %×30 %) | 26 % | Amount lost (95 %×5 %) | 5 % |
Amount remaining (85 %−26 %) | 59 % | Amount remaining (95 %−5 %) | 90 % |
Target fortification level per 100 g of bread (20 µg (800 IU)/1·8) | 11·1 µg (444 IU) | Target fortification level per 100 g of bread (200 mg/1·8) | 111 mg |
Amount required to achieve target fortification level (11·1 µg (444 IU)/59 %) | 18·65 µg (746 IU) | Amount required to achieve target fortification level (111 mg/90 %) | 123 mg |
