A method for in vitro determination of calcium, iron and zinc availability from first-age infant formula and human milk

Oxalate Reduces Calcium Availability in the Pads of the Prickly Pear Cactus through Formation of Calcium Oxalate Crystals

“…These values were found to be similar to the 3.0 and 29.4% calcium bioavailability values determined for spinach and kale, respectively, in animal feeding trials (15). Thus, our findings along with the findings of other researchers (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) support the usefulness of this in vitro protocol for assessing mineral bioavailability.…”

Application of in vitro bioaccessibility and bioavailability methods for calcium, carotenoids, folate, iron, magnesium, polyphenols, zinc, and vitamins B6, B12, D, and E

“…It is noteworthy to point out that while conducting a literature search on in vitro bioavailability methods, more than a dozen studies focusing on the simultaneous determination of calcium, iron and zinc or iron and zinc bioavailability from foods were found (Bosscher et al, 2000, 2001a,c, 2002, 2003a,b; Jovaní et al, 2001; Sahuquillo et al, 2003; Etcheverry et al, 2004, 2005a; Lestienne et al, 2005; Frontela et al, 2009; Tako et al, 2009; Liang et al, 2010). The reason for these integrated approaches is probably based on the fact that these three minerals play an important role in adult and infant health and are susceptible to complex interactions.…”

Effects of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) on bioaccessibility, as well as antioxidant activity, mineral and starch contents in Granny Smith apple

“…This method originally developed by Miller et al (1981), was modified by Bosscher et al (2001) and Jovaní, Viadel, Laparra, Barberá, and Farré (2004). The in vitro digestion consists of a gastric and an intestinal stage.…”
