Abstract

Abstract:

Zinc bioavailability in 10 wheat flour varieties was assessed by using an in vitro/Caco-2 cell culture model to provide scientific foundation for further human trials and reach nutritional purpose in wheat breeding. Zn bioavailability (Zn BV) was defined as the percentage of the amount of zinc applied to Caco-2 cell monolayer and was consumed by the cells. Significant differences were detected in Zn BV among 10 wheat flour varieties, among which Zhongyou 9507 from Anyang had the highest Zn BV, which would be further tested in human trials for nutritional function study.

Key words: wheat, wheat flour, in vitro/ Caco-2 cell culture model, zinc, bioavailability
