Influence of various ingredients on mineral bioaccessibility in infant formula and whole milk

Bioavailability evaluation of calcium, magnesium and zinc in Brazilian cheese through a combined model of in vitro digestion and Caco-2 cells

“…Zn solubility after in vitro digestion of cheese pizza has been found to be 17.4 % (Singh et al, 2016), a similar result to that observed in the present study. Higher values have been reported in other dairy products, above 80 % in UHT milks (Fioravanti et al, 2020) and above 60 % in whole, semi-skimmed and skimmed UHT milks (Lacerda Sanches et al, 2020).…”

“…Scarce information is found in scientific literature concerning Mg bioaccessibility in cheese, but more investigations have been developed for other dairy products. Recent research has established Mg solubility after digestion for infant formulas and milks greater than 60 % (Fioravanti et al, 2020); or even above 70 % in whole, semi-skimmed and skimmed UHT milks (Lacerda Sanches et al, 2020). Trials performed in young and adult rats have shown that Mg absorption is lower in cheese than for other dairy products (Delisle et al, 1995).…”

Structural changes and calcium bioaccessibility of calcium fortified milk containing CaCO3 loaded solid‐in‐oil‐in‐water emulsion during simulated in vitro digestion

“…6). The bioaccessibility of CHCM1.25 was lower than that of PM1.00, which may be due to the fact that the additional calcium source (milk mineral salts) was affected during the processing [pasteurized or ultra‐high temperature processing (UHT)] of CHCM1.25, resulting in a decrease in total calcium bioaccessibility 32 . In contrast, CFM1.25 with the same calcium content as CHCM1.25 had greater bioaccessibility because the added CaCO 3 loaded S/O/W emulsion contained WPI, which formed a soluble whey protein peptide calcium chelate after digestion in the small intestine 25 …”

Prebiotics in New-Born and Children’s Health

“…The purpose of this mixture is to emulate the impact that human milk has on the gut microbiome as a prebiotic [7]. For almost two decades, infants' nutritional products have been supplemented with complex prebiotic oligosaccharides that are derived from non-human sources rather than those derived from humans [7,90]. Even though there are many pre-clinical and clinical studies that have been conducted to evaluate the characteristics of GOSs and FOSs, their positive benefits are yet unknown [15,27].…”
