2. 1. Milk Folates: Characterisation and Availability

   Author : Karin Wigertz; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; availability; ileostomy model; in vitro; HPLC; folate-binding protein; Milk; folates; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik;

   Abstract : With the ultimate goal to study milk folate bioavailability, a reverse-phase HPLC technique was developed and compared with a radioprotein binding assay. All methods showed similar ranges for folates in cow’s milk, with the variation attributed to seasonal variations and the use of different starter cultures. READ MORE

4. 2. On Folates in Yeasts -Exploring Yeasts as Vehicles for Biofortification of Folates in Food
