Gravy powder, dry mix

Dry mix for reconstitution as sauce to be served with meat. Typical ingredients may include wheat flour, salt, colour, spices and vegetable protein. Does not include products labelled as salt reduced or low salt.

Fat and fatty acids were determined in 7 individual samples of dry gravy powder (3x Maggi, 1x Gravox, 1x Homebrand, 1x Greens and 1x Farmland) purchased in NSW and NZ in 2009 (2008 TFA program). I and Na were determined in 5 individual samples of dry gravy powder (1x Maggi, 1x Gravox, 1x Homebrand, 1x Greens and 1x Farmland) purchased in NSW as part of the same program. Proximates, vitamins and minerals were determined in a composite sample of 3 brands of gravy powder (2x Gravox, 2x Homebrand and 2x Bistro) purchased in Adelaide in 1987 (AGAL- Cereal and Cereal Products). Cu, Mn, P, Sl, Se, S, F, ATOC, B6, pantothenate and biotin were determined in a composite sample of 3 brands of gravy powder (2x Bistro, 2x Bi-Lo, 4x Gravox) purchased in Adelaide (1993 Cereal Catch up Program). Fat Factor is a mean of white wheat flour and oil. Note: low sum of proximates most likely due to no value for maltodextrins. Composition of products also vary between brands.
