The vitamin and mineral content of mature breast milk from 54 Saudi mothers was examined. All measurements of vitamins A, E, B, and B 2 in milk were determined by HPLC. Minerals were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The mean vitamin A concentration in milk was 82.01 ± 35.9 µg/100 ml. Milk vitamin E, B 1 and B 2 concentrations were 0.84 ± 0.70, 0.027 ± 0.005 and 0.02 ± 0.003 mg/100 ml respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
