Result showed that 225 grams beton which has been processed become 40 gram flour. Beton milk for about two hundred and fifty ml invite 3,4± 0,05 ppm of iron.  It will be absorbent by ileum for about 8%. Ascorbic acid 10 milligrams of beton milk assists iron absorption. It may fulfill iron requirement for pregnant women (1 mg/days). Processing technique used to make beton milk by attenuation, screening, and braises proven doesn't lessen its content.
