Description

General description

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for validation of methods for determining proximates, sugars, dietary fiber, vitamins, elements, and amino acids in fortified breakfast cereals and similar materials. This SRM can also be used for quality assurance when assigning values to in-house reference materials. The SRM is a wheat-based fortified breakfast cereal prepared by a commercial manufacturer. A unit of SRM 3233 consists of one bottle containing approximately 60 g of material and sealed inside an aluminized pouch. For more information, please refer to the SDS and COA.

Application

• Vitamin D fortification in breakfast cereals: A systematic review and meta-analysis focused on the effectiveness of using fortified breakfast cereals as vehicles for improving vitamin D status, providing essential insights for nutritional science and public health strategies (Cashman and O′Neill, 2024).


• Protein fortification for the aging population: Research discusses the design implications for protein-fortified foods, including cereals, aimed at increasing protein intake among the elderly, highlighting its significance in maintaining muscle mass and overall health (Norton et al., 2022).


• Strategies for achieving recommended vitamin D intakes: An article outlines various fortification strategies, including the use of fortified cereals, to meet the recommended dietary intakes of vitamin D, essential for bone health and disease prevention (López-Sobaler et al., 2022).


• Critical appraisal of ultraprocessed fortification alternatives: A critical review evaluates ultraprocessed products, including fortified cereals, as alternatives for food fortification in Latin America, discussing their impact on nutrition and public health (Kroker-Lobos et al., 2022).


• Impact of fortified foods on iron status: A study investigates the association between the consumption of iron-fortified foods, such as cereals, and serum ferritin levels among women of childbearing age, emphasizing the importance of fortified foods in preventing iron deficiency (Nyakundi et al., 2022).
