Abstract Plant-based products are an excellent source of dietary phenolic compounds, such as herbal drinks, juices, dried fruits, etc. Wedang uwuh is one the drinks that made from a mixture plants. In previous studies, it has been reported boiling time affects total content and antioxidant capacity wedang uwuh. However, there no research on effects digestion stability components in This study a...

Carotenes are a group of fat-soluble pigments in many fruits and vegetables associated with several important biological effects, like protection against the development of some forms of cancer and cardiovascular disease. The carotene bioavailability in plant foods, i.e. the fraction of ingested carotenes taken up and utilised in the body, is often increased by processing. The increased bioavai...

There are numerous Cr(III)-contaminated sites on Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Energy (DOE) lands that are awaiting possible clean up and closure. Ingestion of contaminated soil by children is the risk driver that generally motivates the likelihood of site remediation. The purpose of this study was to develop a simple statistical model based on common soil properties to estimate...

BACKGROUND Food acidulants, β-carotene-rich vegetables and sulfur compound-rich Allium spices are known to improve zinc bioaccessibility from food grains. This animal study evaluated the positive influence of these promoters of zinc bioaccessibility on zinc status during zinc repletion in Wistar rats previously rendered zinc-deficient by feeding a zinc-deficient semi-synthetic diet for 4 weeks....

The objective of this study was to investigate the concentrations, seasonal variations, bioaccessibility, and associated human daily intake of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in in- and out-house dust collected in Shanghai, China. The PBDE concentrations varied from 131.6 to 3,886.7 ng g(-1) (with an average of 948.2 ng g(-1)) in in-house dust and from 8.7 to 3,116.3 ng g(-1) (with an av...

A review of in vitro bioaccessibility and bioavailability methods for polyphenols and selected nutrients is presented. The review focuses on in vitro solubility, dialyzability, the dynamic gastrointestinal model (TIM)™, and Caco-2 cell models, the latter primarily for uptake and transport, and a discussion of how these methods have been applied to generate data for a range of nutrients, caroten...

In herbal markets, an overwhelming majority the Dendrobium nobile are sold in dried strips form, and this product type would lead to incomplete release of active ingredient. To increase bioaccessibility nobile, we obtained powders different particle sizes by shear-breaking superfine-grinding further compare its sensory properties, physical leaching rate ingredients antioxidant activity vitro. T...

BACKGROUND The particle size and structure of masticated almonds have a significant impact on nutrient release (bioaccessibility) and digestion kinetics. OBJECTIVES The goals of this study were to quantify the effects of mastication on the bioaccessibility of intracellular lipid of almond tissue and examine microstructural characteristics of masticated almonds. DESIGN In a randomized, subje...

1 This paper presents a multi-laboratory comparison study of in vitro models assessing 2 bioaccessibility of soil-bound lead in the human gastrointestinal tract under simulated fasted 3 and fed conditions. Oral bioavailability data from a previous human in vivo study on the same 4 soil served as a reference point. In general, the bioaccessible lead fraction was significantly 5 (P<0.05) differen...
