Table 19: Results of folate contribution by the minor folate compounds in the SPIFAN II samples
obtained by the analysis with and without conjugase treatment. Total folate and Minor Folate
(mcg/100g) calculated as sum of the detected folate compounds as folic acid in reconstitute
beverages/RTF liquid samples. Averages and precision (as % RSD) of replicates analyzed on
separate 3 days (total n=9).

Minor folate contents in the SPIFAN II samples based on the analysis which did not employ conjugase
treatment during the extraction was found to be negligible and they did not contribute to total folate
found in these samples.
Minor folate contents in the SPIFAN II samples based on the analysis which employed conjugase
during the extraction was found to be negligible in most of the samples. Two of the samples, both of
which are soy based formula were found to have a small amount of minor folate which contributed to
