Abstract:
1. A water-soluble iron-carbohydrate complex obtained from the reaction of (a) an aqueous iron(III) salt solution and (b) an aqueous solution of the product of the oxidation and subsequent reaction of one or more maltodextrins, wherein the oxidation is carried out with an aqueous hypochlorite solution at a pH value in the alkaline range, wherein when one maltodextrin is used its dextrose equivalent is from 5 to 20 and when a mixture of a plurality of maltodextrins is used the dextrose equivalent of the mixture is from 5 to 20 and the dextrose equivalent of the individual maltodextrins in the mixture is from 2 to 40, and the subsequent reaction is one selected from the group consisting of (a) esterification with monobasic or polybasic carboxylic acid chlorides, anhydrides, mixed anhydrides or bromides (b) esterification with a sulfating reagent or a phosphating reagent, (c) oxidation of a C (a) esters of monobasic or polybasic carboxylic acids, (b) sulfate esters or phosphate esters, (c) C2/C3 oxidation products, (d) carboxyalkylation products, (e) isocyanates, (f) ethers, (g) amides, (h) carbamates, and (i) anhydrides of inorganic acids.
