Iron Minerals

Iron (Fe) is an essential trace mineral required for oxygen transport in hemoglobin and energy metabolism.

8 taxa 21 entries

Phosphorus Minerals

Phosphorus (P) is an essential major mineral found in foods primarily as phosphate ions (PO₄³⁻). It plays a central role in bone and tooth formation, cellular energy metabolism through ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and the structure of DNA, RNA, and cell membranes. In food systems it commonly appears as phosphate salts such as calcium phosphate, sodium phosphate, and potassium phosphate used for fortification, buffering, emulsification, and leavening.
