FooDB Name

Iron

Description

Iron, also known as 26FE or fer, belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as homogeneous transition metal compounds. These are inorganic compounds containing only metal atoms,with the largest atom being a transition metal atom. Iron is possibly neutral. Iron is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as corn salad, mugworts, and common thymes and in a lower concentration in soy yogurts, breakfast sandwichs, and cuttlefish. Iron has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as caseins, spotted seals, shea tree, asian pears, and drippings. This could make iron a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
