IMPFT140K Principles of mineral functionality in food and nutrition
Overview
This standard is about the principles of mineral functionality the intake, value and usefulness of minerals to the body.
This standard is for you if you need a broad understanding of the functionality of minerals, their functional use and their storage or control in the body. You need to understand how minerals are absorbed into the body and the problems which result from over consumption or deficiency.
Knowledge and understanding
You need to know and understand:
1 the reference intake of potassium and sodium as part of a balanced diet
2 the quantity and location of potassium and sodium in the body
3 what the biochemical functions of potassium and sodium in the body are
4 how potassium and sodium balance is maintained in the body
5 the medical problems resulting from excess sodium intake
6 the reference intake of calcium and phosphorus as part of a balanced diet
7 the quantity and location of calcium and phosphorus in the body
8 what the biochemical functions of calcium and phosphorus in the body are
9 the medical problems resulting from lack of calcium intake or assimilation
10 the reference intake of iron as part of a balanced diet
11 the quantity and location of iron in the body
12 what the biochemical functions of iron in the body are
13 the medical problems resulting from lack of iron intake or assimilation
14 the reference intake of trace elements as part of a balanced diet
15 the quantity and location of trace elements in the body
16 what the biochemical functions of trace elements in the body are
17 the medical problems resulting from lack of trace element intake or assimilation
18 how minerals are absorbed across the wall of the alimentary system into the blood
19 why the absorption of minerals is enhanced or prohibited depending upon the presence of other substance
20 the storage and inability to store minerals by organs and tissues of the body
