Abstract:

A method to determine both the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of lead in rice grains using in vitro digestion/
Caco-2 cell model was established. The results indicated that the bioaccessibility of lead in uncooked rice and cooked rice
in simulated gastric digestion were 61.34%–70.59% and 39.69%–47.48%, as well as 24.39%–41.79% and 13.57%–15.13%
in simulated intestinal digestion, respectively. The lead bioaccessibility of indica rice was higher than that of japonica rice,
and uncooked rice was higher than cooked rice. A Caco-2 cell model was established to evaluate the bioavailability of lead
in rice. The bioavailability of tetraethyl lead (TTEL) and inorganic lead spiked in cooked rice were 3.32% and 7.0%, while
those in spiked uncooked rice were 2.65% and 5.7%, respectively. In vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell model can be used as an
effective method to evaluate the bioavailability of lead in rice.
