An in uitro method for the estimation of iron bioavailability was subjected to an interlaboratory trial. The method involved a simulated gastrointestinal digestion using pepsin for the gastric stage followed by pancreatin and bile salts for the intestinal stage. The proportion of iron diffused throu
Selectedprocessed foods were digested in vitro under simulated physiological conditions. The proportion of iron diffusing across a semi-permeable membrane was used as an index of bioavailability. Certain food processing procedures appeared to greatly enhance the proportion of diffusible iron. Many o
## Abstract This article reviews the __in vitro__ digestion models developed to assess the stability of food allergens during digestion. It is hypothesised that food allergens must exhibit sufficient gastroβintestinal stability to reach the intestinal mucosa where absorption and sensitisation (deve
Lipoprotein oxidation is a process thought to be involved in atherogenesis. Dietary antioxidants that prevent or inhibit oxidative damage to lipoproteins may help to prevent atherosclerosis. Both black and green teas can be major dietary sources of Γ½avonoids and other phenolics with antioxidant acti
