植物铁蛋白——新型的补铁功能因子

Plant ferritin:a new type of iron supplement

铁是人体所必需的营养元素,铁缺乏严重影响着全球近一半人的健康。传统的补铁制剂由于受到小分子螯合剂的干扰,导致补铁效果不理想;同时也会对人体产生毒副作用逐渐被禁止使用,因此,寻找安全、高效的补铁制剂势在必行。研究表明,铁蛋白广泛存在于生物体细胞中,具有良好的补铁功能,如果能将其开发成补铁产品将会为缺铁患者带来福音。从植物体中开发铁蛋白不仅来源广泛,而且符合绿色、安全的消费理念,已经成为21世纪各国学者研究的热点。在介绍植物铁蛋白研究现状的基础上,重点从营养学的角度综述了植物铁蛋白作为新型补铁功能因子的研究进展。

Iron is an essential nutritional element for human beings.Iron deficiency has been seriously affected the health of nearly half the world＇s population.Traditional preparation of iron supplementation has a poor effect of iron supplement,on account of the affection by small molecular chelated.Meanwhile,it has been gradually prohibited because of its side-effects on human health.It is imperative to look for a safe and efficient preparation of iron supplementation.Research shows that ferritin widely exists in biological somatic cells,and they are of good iron activity,which indicates it a good way to develop iron supplementation products from plants.Extraction ferritin from the plant body does not only have a wide origin,but also accords with the consumption concept of green safe.It has already become a hot spot for researchers in the 21st century.This paper presents a review of the research status of plant ferritin,with emphasis on the research progress of using plant ferritin as a new type of iron supplementation.
