Abstract

Iron deficiency anemia remains a major global health problem, with a prevalence reaching 40% among children aged 6–59 months, 37% among pregnant women, and 30% among women of reproductive age. Low iron bioavailability is a key limiting factor affecting the effectiveness of nutritional interventions. This review aimed to analyze various in vivo methods used to evaluate iron bioavailability from food sources and to assess the effectiveness of fortification, biofortification, and food processing modifications. A narrative review approach was conducted through literature searches in Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Wiley, MDPI, and Garuda databases for original research articles published between January 2016 and March 2026, with March 2026 as the search cutoff to ensure inclusion of fully indexed publications only. Of the 24 identified articles, 8 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that in vivo studies employed various parameters, including hemoglobin regeneration efficiency, relative biological value, fractional iron absorption, hemoglobin concentration, serum ferritin, and organ iron retention. Notably, iron bioavailability was not always proportional to total iron content in food, as biofortification and fermentation strategies improved physiological iron utilization primarily by reducing inhibitory compounds such as phytate, rather than by increasing total iron content. Food matrix, chemical form of iron, and physiological status of subjects were identified as the most critical determinants of iron absorption effectiveness.

Abstract

This study evaluates the integration of Internet of Things (IoT)-based temperature monitoring and high-barrier mono-material Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) as a strategy to reduce food loss in cold chain systems. The research assesses the technical, environmental, and economic implications of implementing real-time temperature control alongside recyclable packaging materials. The results indicate that IoT-based monitoring reduces spoilage by enabling rapid detection of temperature deviations and corrective actions during storage and transportation. In parallel, high-barrier mono-material MAP maintains internal gas composition, extending shelf life and stabilizing product quality throughout distribution. Life cycle and techno-economic considerations suggest that although initial investment and material costs may increase, reductions in food loss and improved sell-through can offset expenses, particularly for high-value perishable products. Overall, the integration of digital monitoring and barrier packaging provides a preventive and preservative approach that enhances cold chain performance, reduces waste, and supports environmental sustainability.
