Abstract(s)
A vitamina C tem um papel crucial no crescimento e desenvolvimento
saudáveis de bebés. As fórmulas infantis são muito consumidas por esta
faixa etária e como tal, é de extrema importância garantir que esta vitamina
esteja presente em concentrações adequadas. No presente trabalho de
investigação, determinou-se o teor de vitamina C total, ácido L-ascórbico
e ácido desidroascórbico em fórmulas infantis e compararam-se os resultados
obtidos com os limites estabelecidos no Regulamento Delegado
(UE) 2016/127. Em 2016, foram adquiridas 7 fórmulas infantis, 4 fórmulas
para lactentes e 3 fórmulas de transição. Os teores totais de vitamina C determinados
variaram entre 65,4 ± 0,28 e 134 ± 1,27 mg/100 g de amostra,
encontrando-se dentro dos limites estabelecidos pela legislação em vigor.
Uma vez que este tipo de produtos alimentares é muito importante na
alimentação de consumidores de uma faixa etária tão jovem e tão vulnerável
como são os lactentes, impõe-se a sua regulamentação, segurança e
controlo da qualidade.
Vitamin C plays a very important role in the healthy growth and development of babies. Infant and follow-on formulas are frequently consumed by this age group and it is extremely important to ensure that this vitamin is present in adequate concentrations in this type of products. This research aimed to determine the total vitamin C, L-ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid contents in infant foods, and compare the results obtained with the limits established in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/127. In 2016, 7 infant foods, 4 infant formulas and 3 follow-on formulas, were acquired. All vitamin C contents obtained for the analysed samples, ranged from 65.4 ± 0.28 to 134 ± 1.27 mg/100 g of sample, and were within the established limits. Since this type of food products is very important to a group of consumers belonging to an age group as young and as vulnerable as the infants, regulation, safety and quality control of this type of products is of extreme importance.
