  2. 1. Iron absorption and iron status related to diet : an experimental and epidemiological study

    Author : Per Tidehag; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; iron status; iron absorption; bioavailability; dietary fiber; phytate; calcium; radioiron; diet;

    Abstract : The absorption of iron from the diet is a major determinant of the iron status of an individual. Accurate measures of iron absorption are thus essential in the determination of the effects of diet composition on iron absorption and status. READ MORE

  4. 2. Iron absorption in man - diet modification and fortification

    Author : Michael Hoppe; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Iron absorption; Serum iron; Relative bioavailability; Elemental iron; Iron bioavailability; Iron fortification; Dietary modification; Developing countries;

    Abstract : Background: Iron (Fe) deficiency is globally the most common form of nutrient deficiency. The approach to combat this problem can be divided into two major strategies a): increasing the dietary Fe bioavailability by diet modification, or b): increasing the Fe intake through fortification.

  5. 3. Cereal- and Microbial Phytases. Phytate Degradation, Mineral Binding and Absorption

    Author : Maria Türk; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mineral binding; iron absorption; cereals; phytate degradation; phytase; dietary phytases; S cerevisiae; A niger;

    Abstract : Cereal foods contain large amounts of phytate (myo-inositol hexaphosphate; IP6), which is the major storage form of phosphorus, in the plant. IP6 possesses a high potential for chelating minerals, such as Fe 2+, Zn2+, Mg2+ and Ca2+. READ MORE

  6. 4. Phytosterols. Effect of intake on cholesterol absorption and colorectal cancer risk

    Author : Lena Normén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : phytosterols; phytostanols; soy sterols; sitostanol; ester; gas-liquid chromatography; GLC; cholesterol absorption; sterol excretion; fruit; vegetables; cereals; colon cancer; rectal cancer; dietary fiber;

    Abstract : Phytosterols are lipid components of all food items of plant origin. They are effective in decreasing plasma cholesterol concentrations, but have also been suggested to protect against colorectal cancer. READ MORE

  7. 5. Absorption and accumulation of cadmium from cereal grains

    Author : Anncatherine Moberg Wing; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : cadmium accumulation; cereal grains; dietary fiber; iron status; pregnancy;

    Abstract : Cadmium (Cd) is a potentially toxic trace element. Cereal grains contribute one-third to one-half of the Cd exposure via the diet. Among cereal grains, wheat generally contains the highest Cd concentration and the bran and germ fractions contain more Cd than the endosperm. READ MORE
