Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

During the pectin period the apparent absorption of Fe decreased significantly, while that of P, Ca, Mg and Zn remained unchanged.

In addition, dietary factors such as amino acids and protein sources (Martinez et al., 1981), pectin content, phytate (Morris and Ellis, 1982) and the other minerals (Elvehjem and Hart, 1932; Hedges and Kornegay, 1973; Suttle and Mills, 1966) may also influence the bioavailability of iron.
