Iron-citrate complexes and free radicals generation: is citric acid an innocent additive in foods and drinks?.
The generation of free radicals (Fenton chem.) from various iron citrate complexes has been studied. Spin trapping methods have been used. The results can question concerning the innocence of added citric acid in foods and cold drinks. We concluded that in absence of pathol. situation citric acid is probably not dangerous but it may become dangerous in situation of oxidative stress and/or iron overload. [on SciFinder(R)]
