In the last decade, extensive studies have been conducted to quantify influence of different factors on potentially toxic elements (PTE) bioaccessibility in soil; one most important is soil size fraction. However, there no agreement about fraction and methods investigate bioaccessibility, as very few review articles are available PTE none addressed particle bioaccessibility. This study provides...

In vitro assays have been developed to determine metal bioaccessibility in contaminated soils; however, their application to Cd is limited. To assess their suitability to determine Cd relative bioavailability (RBA), Cd-RBA in 12 contaminated soils containing 3.00-296mgkg(-1) Cd were determined using a mouse model and compared with Cd bioaccessibility data based on four assays including the UBM,...

Drone brood is a little-known bee product, often treated as beekeeping waste or natural varroosis bait. Obtaining drone from beehives does not weaken the family, which why this product used medicine in Eastern European countries. The main objective of work was to design an innovative dietary supplement containing freeze-dried (DB) enriched with calcium ions (3:1). As component, inorganic carbon...

There is great interest in reaching a consensus method for vitro digestion of foods. The COST INFOGEST network researchers has developed standardized protocol, which appropriate basic digestibility studies, but may be insufficient more complex such as micronutrient bioaccessibility. In the present study, bioaccessibility phytosterols (PS) was evaluated using and modified versions protocol. prot...

The present paper reports evidence of an immunological relationship between one variety or type of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisi~e and the Type II variety of Diplococcus pn,umoni~e (Pneumococcus). The immunological interrelationships among the different yeasts have never been well established, but it is certain that all of the yeasts included by the species term Saccharomyces cerevisi~ are n...

Papaya (C. papaya) is a rich source of bioactive compounds. However, fruit content varies greatly depending on factors such as the variety and growing location. In this study, three yellow-fleshed papaya cultivars (L??ie Gold, Rainbow, Kapoho Solo) two red-fleshed (Sunset Sunrise) were harvested from different locations throughout Hawaiian Islands analyzed for their mineral carotenoid using ICP...

Traditional newborn dried blood spot screening (NDBS) has expanded in recent years to include upwards of 50 different conditions in many states. Once the screening tests are complete, the residual blood specimens (RBSs) that remain are most often available for quality assurance and public health research. The articles by Botkin et al1 and Bombard et al2 contained in this issue of Pediatrics inv...

The objective of the present study was to determine content and bioaccessibility carotenoids in 104 maize hybrids available at market. Lutein, zeaxanthin, ?- ?-cryptoxanthin, ?-carotene were determined whole grains micelles produced during standardized INFOGEST digestibility analysis, their calculated as ratio micellar grain carotenoids. Tested varied total carotenoid content, with 34% having r...
