The influence of dietary pectin on iron absorption and retention was studied in rats. Basal diet with low and normal iron levels were fed with and without addition of 2% citrus pectin. After 40 days rats were fasted for 24 hours and were given 59Fe in dilute HCl with or without 2% pectin by gavage. Whole-body counting techniques were employed to monitor 59Fe absorption and turnover. Rats maintained on low iron diet absorbed and retained a much higher proportion of 59Fe than rats maintained on normal level of iron. Dietary pectin at the level fed in this study had no influence on iron uptake and/or turnover in rats.
