The effects of temperature, Fe and ascorbate fortification, and O2 concentration on the stabilities of folic acid (FA) and 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-CH3-THF) were examined in liquid model food systems. Small retort pouches were used as reaction vessels, and the model systems were processed at 100.degree. C, 120.degree. and 140.degree. C. A cation-exchange procedure was devised to provide sample extract purification before quantitation using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). FA and 5-CH3-THF were very stable under these conditions. Lactose, protein, Fe and ascorbate were all capable of reducing the O2 partial pressure within the model systems, enhancing the stability of FA and 5-CH3-THF. FA and 5-CH3-THF degradation was not O2 or 1st-order, but possibly 2nd-order, as a result of limiting O2 concentrations.
