Ferric Pyrophosphate

Features and Properties:
Iron Source:
Ferric pyrophosphate is used as a dietary iron supplement to treat or prevent iron deficiency anemia. It is often included in food fortification, especially in products where other iron compounds would affect taste or appearance.
Neutral Taste:
Unlike some other iron supplements, ferric pyrophosphate has minimal impact on the taste of food, making it suitable for use in food and beverage fortification without causing metallic flavors.
Low Absorption Rate:
Compared to other iron salts (like ferrous sulfate), ferric pyrophosphate is less soluble in water and thus has a lower bioavailability. However, newer formulations (like micronized or nanoparticulate forms) improve absorption rates, making it more effective as a supplement.
Food Fortification:
Ferric pyrophosphate is commonly added to foods like cereals, infant formula, and flour. It is used in cases where soluble iron salts are not suitable due to their effects on food color, flavor, or texture.
Used in Pharmaceuticals:
In addition to food fortification, ferric pyrophosphate is used in pharmaceuticals for treating iron deficiency anemia. It is often formulated in slow-release forms or in combination with other supplements.
Color Stability:
Ferric pyrophosphate is relatively stable and doesn’t cause significant changes in the color of food products, which makes it preferable in products where appearance is important.
