In vitro availability of minerals from oat products

The content of macroelements P, Mg and Ca and microelements Mn, Fe, Zn and Cu was determined in 10 commercially sold oat products made by different technological processes (dehulling, instantinising, extrusion, flaking). Phosphorus was the most prevalent of the macroelements (from 240.8 ± 2.2 to 845.5 ± 8.1 mg per 100 g), followed by magnesium (from 73.2 ± 0.7 to 271.9 ± 2.7 mg per 100 g) and calcium (from 30.69 ± 0.01 to 112.7 ± 0.3 mg per 100 g). The Ca/P ratio ranged from 1:5.3 in crushed oat to 1:8.2 in oat flakes. Regarding the microelements, manganese was present at the highest concentrations (from 2.62 ± 0.02 to 8.69 ± 0.01 mg per 100 g). The content of iron was similar and that of zinc not much lower, whereas the amount of copper was considerably smaller (from 0.23 ± 0.002 to 0.59 ± 0.002 mg per 100 g). The highest concentrations of mineral elements were found in instant oat bran flakes and the lowest in extruded oat and corn crisps containing 50% corn grouts. Samples of the products analysed were subjected to in vitro enzymatic digestion, simulating the digestive process occurring in the human alimentary tract. The supernatants thus obtained were analysed for their content of the previously determined mineral components; the percentage of minerals released from the products was calculated. The following sequence of mineral components released was observed: Cu (57.2–95.6%) > P (39.7–60.9%) > Ca (18.2–39.5%) > Mg (16.4–39.8%) > Mn (6.4–24.7%) > Fe (6.5–29%) > Zn (11–17.2%). The Ca/P ratio in the supernatant worsened from 1:8.2 in crushed oat to 1:23.3 in extruded oat and corn crisps. Crushed oat released the highest amounts of mineral elements during enzymatic hydrolysis, with oat grouts coming second. As regards the other products, it is difficult to establish their relative sequence in the release of minerals. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry     

Mineral composition of frozen green asparagus

The contents of macroelements (Ca, Mg, Na, K y P) and trace elements (Cu, Fe, Zn and Mn) of frozen green asparagus were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry to investigate the possible changes during 45 and 90 days frozen storage at –18 °C. A significant decrease of mineral concentrations was observed at 45 days of frozen storage. After 90 days, modifications were not observed, except for Cu and P concentrations. The asparagus thickness factor resulted in significant differences in the Cu, Fe, Zn, Ca and K contents. Frozen storage time involved smaller percentages of mineral retention in the <11 mm spear for Ni, Ca, Mg, K and P, and, for the rest of mineral elements, the frozen storage effect was similar for both thicknesses (<11 mm and >14 mm). The highest mineral concentration was found in the apical portion or tip of green asparagus, except for Mn, Cr and K. Mineral retention percentages after frozen storage time were similar in both portions (apical and basal) of the spear.     

Speciation of bioaccessible (heme,ferrous and ferric) iron from school menus

A spectrophotometric method using batho-phenantroline as reagent has been optimized for iron speciation [ionic Fe(II) and Fe(III)] in the mineral soluble (bioaccessible) fraction obtained from the in vitro digestion of food dishes. The effect of the precipitant and reducing reagents, and the amount of sodium nitrite added was studied. Heme-Fe was estimated by subtraction of ionic Fe from the total bioaccessible Fe (determined by atomic absorption spectrometry). The method was applied to 13 dishes included in school menus. Soluble Fe was mainly in ionic form (49–100%). With the exception of spinach and potato omelets, a significant linear correlation (r=0.92) was obtained between Fe(II) and bioaccessible Fe. The Fe(II)/Fe(III) ratio increased with increasing meat protein content in the dish. In the analyzed dishes, heme-Fe content depended on meat content and also on the processing procedure applied.     

Characterization and prediction by near-infrared reflectance of mineral composition of rocket (Eruca vesicaria subsp. sativa and Eruca vesicaria subsp. vesicaria)

BACKGROUND: Minerals are essential for human nutrition and must be obtained from our diet. Crucifer vegetables are a good source of these nutrients. Our objectives were to determine the genetic variability for mineral content and to evaluate the use of near‐infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) for prediction of ashes and minerals among and within the rocket species Eruca vesicaria subsp. sativa and vesicaria. The minerals studied were iron (Fe), copper (Cu), sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn). RESULTS: The maximum mean values obtained for all the accessions (mean ± SE) were 235.5 ± 1.5 mg ashes kg^?1, 273.3 ± 4.2 mg Fe kg^?1, 18.1 ± 0.4 mg Cu kg^?1, 2.8 ± 0.1 g Na kg^?1, 71.6 ± 1.0 g K kg^?1, 64.6 ± 1.2 g Ca kg^?1, 6.8 ± 0.1 g mg kg^?1, 101.6 ± 1.2 mg Mn kg^?1, and 67.1 ± 0.4 mg Zn kg^?1 of dry weight. CONCLUSION: The statistical analysis showed significant differences for all the minerals, except Ca, for each accession studied individually and for accessions grouped within countries. The results indicate that NIRS can be used as a rapid screening method for determining total mineral, Fe, Na, K, and Zn in rocket. Copyright © 2011 Society of Chemical Industry     

MINERAL COMPOSITION OF MEDLAR (MESPILUS GERMANICA) FRUIT AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF MATURITY

Abstract The mineral composition of medlar fruit collected (June 15 - October 8) in Turkey at five stages of development was studied. In the fruit, 32 minerals were analyzed and 16 minerals (Al, Ba, Ca, Cu, Co, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, P, Sr, Ti and Zn) were present at detectable levels. The ripe medlar fruit was richest in potassium (7370 μg/g dry wt), calcium (1780 μg/g dry wt), phosphorus (1080 μg/g dry wt), magnesium (661 μg/g dry wt) and sodium (183 μg/g dry wt). During the fruit development, Al, Ba, Fe, Mn, P, Sr, and Zn were highest in August (unripe fruits) while the concentrations of K, Ca, Mg and Cu gradually decreased throughout development. The ripe medlar fruit is an important source of nutritionally needed minerals and trace elements, in particular Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na and Zn, for human populations in southeastern Europe, Turkey and Iran.     

Bioaccessible nutrients and bioactive components from fortified products prepared using finger millet (Eleusine coracana)

BACKGROUND: Finger millet (Eleusine coracana), a staple food in semi‐arid parts of the world, is a rich source of nutrients and bioactive components comparable to rice and wheat but with higher fibre content. Unprocessed and processed finger millet (whole flour (WFM), sieved flour (SFM), wafers and vermicelli with altered matrices (added Fe or Zn or reduced fibre)) were analysed for chemical composition, bioaccessible Fe, Zn and Ca, in vitro digestible starch (IVSD) and protein (IVPD) and bioactive components (polyphenols and flavonoids). RESULTS: WFM and SFM flours differed significantly in their composition. Sieving decreased the content of both nutrients and antinutrients in WFM but increased their digestibility/bioaccessibility. WFM products with Zn and Fe showed highest IVPD, whereas SFM products with Fe showed highest IVSD. Products with externally added Fe and Zn showed maximum bioaccessibility of Fe and Zn respectively. WFM had the highest levels of total polyphenols and flavonoids, 4.18 and 15.85 g kg^?1 respectively; however, bioaccessibility was highest in SFM vermicelli. CONCLUSION: The availability of nutrients and bioactive components was influenced by both processing methods and compositional alterations of the food matrix in finger millet products, and bioaccessibility of all constituents was higher in vermicelli (wet matrix) than in wafers (dry matrix).

Calcium,iron, zinc and copper transport and uptake by Caco-2 cells in school meals: Influence of protein and mineral interactions

A combined in vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell culture system is used to estimate calcium, iron, zinc and copper transported and cell uptake (retention plus transport) corresponding to 8 dishes usually distributed to a Spanish school lunchroom, with an evaluation of the influence of proteins and mineral interactions. Mineral uptake percentages were as follows: Ca (3.3–56.3), Fe (7.8–67.4), Zn (5.6–54.9), Cu (14.6–96.6). The protein content of the menus analyzed (22.9–162.9 mg/g) exerts a positive influence upon iron uptake (r = 0.938), and a negative influence upon calcium uptake (r = −0.755) – with no influence upon the uptakes of either Zn or Cu. Mineral interactions are observed at dietary concentrations in the school menus studied. A negative and positive interaction is seen between soluble iron after in vitro digestion and Zn transported (r = −0.733) and Cu retention (r = 0.800), respectively. Solubilized Zn exerts a negative influence upon iron retained (r = −0.831).     

First-milking colostrum mineral concentrations and yields: Comparison to second milking and associations with serum mineral concentrations,parity, and yield in multiparous Jersey cows

This observational study described first-milking colostrum mineral concentrations and total yields, and evaluated its associations with cow serum mineral concentrations, parity, and first postpartum milking yield in 100 multiparous Jersey cows from a single herd fed a negative dietary cation-anion difference diet prepartum. Additionally, first- and second-milking colostrum mineral concentrations and total yields were compared in a subset of 65 cows. Serum minerals (Ca, P, Mg, Na, K, Zn, Fe, Cu) were assessed before first milking. Cows were milked at 9 h and 4 min ± 3 h and 32 min and at 21 h and 11 min ± 3 h and 43 min postpartum (± standard deviation); yields were recorded and samples collected for mineral concentrations assessment (Ca, P, Mg, Na, K, Zn, Fe, Cu). Linear regression was used to evaluate the associations between first-milking colostrum mineral concentrations and total yields and cows' serum mineral concentrations, parity, first-milking colostrum yield, and calving-to-milking interval. The most abundant minerals in first-milking colostrum were (least squares mean ± standard error of the mean) Ca (55.71 ± 13.52 mmol/L; 8.75 ± 5.74 g) and P (41.91 ± 13.01 mmol/L; 5.26 ± 3.72 g), followed by Na (39.65 ± 13.23 mmol/L; 3.08 ± 1.77 g), K (36.47 ± 7.57 mmol/L; 5.79 ± 4.20 g), Mg (13.43 ± 3.09 mmol/L; 1.25 ± 0.78 g), Zn (272.12 ± 113.34 μmol/L; 71.98 ± 55.34 mg), Fe (12.51 ± 3.79 μmol/L; 2.56 ± 1.55 mg), and Cu (3.34 ± 1.22 μmol/L; 0.77 ± 0.56 mg). Higher concentrations of Ca, Mg, Na, Zn, Fe, and Cu, and total yields of Mg, Zn, Fe, and Cu were observed at first- compared with second-milking colostrum. Serum and first-milking colostrum Cu concentrations were positively associated, but no significant associations were observed between other minerals' serum and first-milking colostrum concentrations or total yields. Parity was associated with first-milking colostrum Ca, P, K, and Fe concentrations and yields; younger multiparous cows had higher concentrations and total yields of these minerals. Linear (Fe), quadratic (P, Na, and K), and cubic (Mg, Zn, and Cu) associations were observed between first-milking colostrum mineral concentrations and yield. In all cases, mineral total yields were linearly associated with first-milking colostrum yield. In conclusion, variation in first-milking colostrum mineral concentrations and total yields across cows could be partially explained by cow parity and colostrum yield. Further research including primiparous and cows under different management settings is needed to expand the knowledge and understanding of colostrum mineral concentrations and total yields in dairy cows.     

The composition of Indian foods—mineral composition and intakes of Indian vegetarian populations

The trace element (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) and Ca and P contents of cereals, legume grains, vegetables, milk products and oilseeds commonly consumed by Indian vegetarians were determined. Green leafy vegetables contained the highest amounts of Fe, Mn and Cu (15–171, 90–133 and 4–21 mg kg^?1, respectively); buffalo milk, buttermilk and curd contained most zinc (53–63 mg kg^?J). Legumes contained the highest levels of P, whilst buffalo milk and curd, and leafy vegetables possessed most Ca. The levels of these elements in prepared foods and diets were entirely consistent with the above findings. In general, the mineral intakes of the populations of children (4–9 years), adolescents (10–19), adults (20–45) and older adults (45–60) examined in this study were lower for Zn and Ca, similar for Fe and Ca, and higher for Mn and P than the recently prescribed Indian Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs). It is likely that other constituents of cereals and pulses, such as fibre and phytate, will greatly reduce the bioavailability of trace minerals and Ca in Indian vegetarian diets. In contrast to earlier studies, no significant overall differences were observed between populations from farming and non-farming backgrounds.     

NUTRITIONAL ESTIMATION OF CHANGES IN MINERAL CONTENT DURING FROZEN STORAGE OF WHITE ASPARAGUS

Nine essential elements (copper, iron, zinc, manganese, calcium, magnesium, sodium potassium and phosphorous) were determined in white asparagus (Asparagus officinalis, L.) by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry in order to examine the possible variations in mineral content caused by frozen storage at ?18C for 45 and 90 days. Statistically significant differences were determined during frozen storage for all the mineral elements investigated, except for Ca, Mg, Na and P which did not exhibit any significant differences (p>0.05) and, together with Zn, showed no significant modifications under frozen storage. A diminution in Cu, Fe, Mn and K concentrations was observed during the frozen storage time. Statistically significant differences were established between thicknesses of the asparagus spear in the content of Cu, Fe, Zn, Ca, Na and K and it was seen that the thickness of the asparagus did not fit any specific model. Between portions, all the elements studied displayed statistically significant differences in their concentrations, except for Ca and K (p>0.05) and, for all the minerals elements analyzed, the highest levels were found in the apical portion of the asparagus spear, except for Na with a higher content in the basal portion. White asparagus is an adequate food source of mineral elements, except for Na, and frozen storage does not cause any great variations in the percentages of mineral RDAs (Recommended Dietary Allowances) supplied.     

Determination of mineral contents of wild-grown edible mushrooms

The aim of this study was to determine the mineral contents of wild edible mushrooms. The phosphorus (P), iron (Fe), calcium (Ca), zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), sodium (Na), copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn) contents of thirty wild-grown common edible mushrooms, collected from Erzurum province, Turkey, were analyzed. The minimum and maximum macronutrient contents of mushrooms were determined as mg/g dw for Mg (0.90–4.54), Ca (0.17–8.80), K (12.6–29.1), Na (0.03–4.85) and P (0.64–4.49), while minimum and maximum micronutrient contents of mushrooms were determined as mg/kg dw for Zn (26.7–185), Fe (50.1–842), Cu (9.23–107) and Mn (5.54–135). The potassium content was found to be higher than those of the other minerals in all the mushrooms. The K, P and Cu concentrations were determined to be highest in Suillus granulatus.     

Comparison of mineral and trace element contents in onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.)

BACKGROUND: P, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn and Se were determined in five traditional onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.) from Tenerife (Guayonje, San Juan de la Rambla, Carrizal Alto, Carrizal Bajo and Masca) and a commercial cultivar (Texas Early Grano 502) grown under the same agronomic, soil and climatic conditions in order to find out differences between these cultivars. RESULTS: Carrizal Alto presented the highest K content and lowest P, Na, Fe, Zn, Mn and Se. Texas cultivar had the highest P, Mg and Se contents, and the lowest contents of Ca, Cu and Mn. There were clear differences in the mineral and trace elements contents between the two seed origins of San Juan de la Rambla cultivar. Many correlations were found between the parameters analyzed, emphasizing the Fe? Zn and Ca? Mn correlations. CONCLUSION: There were differences in the mineral and trace element composition between the onion cultivars. The environment and agronomic practices could affect the genetic information of the seeds, determining changes in the mineral and trace element composition. Linear discriminant analysis is a useful tool for differentiating onion samples according to cultivar and seed origin. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry     

Minerals in Selected Variety Breads Commercially Produced in Four Major U.S. Cities

Nine mineral elements (Ca, P, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Na and K) were determined in 10 types, up to four brands of each type, of variety breads purchased from four major U.S. cities. Calcium content of test breads varied appreciably among cities and among brands within a city. In contrast, such variations in the content of Mg, Zn, Cu, and Mn in breads were minimal. Phosphorus was the most abundant mineral in all products. Iron content averaged the highest (3.76 mg/100g) in pumpernickel bread. Sodium in test breads except tortillas averaged between 474 to 734 mg/100g. Four slices of breads tested provide appreciable amounts of various minerals to-wards our daily need.     

Study on the behavior of the trace metal and macro minerals in Mytilus galloprovincialis as a bioindicator species: the case of Marmara Sea, Turkey

Sea food is a major source of animal protein. Marine foods are very rich sources of mineral components. The total content of minerals in the raw flesh of marine fish and invertebrates is in the range of 0.6–1.5% wet weight. The contents of Na, K, Ca, Mg and P are up to 1 mg/100 g, whereas those of Fe, Zn, I are less than 1 mg/100 g. Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were investigated for macro and trace element composition throughout the year. Ranges of moisture, ash, protein and fat contents were 79.76–87.46 g/100 g, 1.06–2.06 g/100 g, 7.28–12.65 g/100 g and 0.33–3.49 g/100 g, respectively. While the highest protein and fat values were found in the summer (July–August), the highest moisture and ash contents were found in the winter (December–January). The contents of highest Na, K, Ca were found in the summer. Cadmium, lead and copper were found to be below the legislative limits throughout year. High levels of mercury were found in January and October. It should be discussed whether mussel may provide an alternative source of mineral for healthy nutrition.     

Mineral composition in four varieties of avocado (Persea gratissima, L.) from the island of Tenerife

The contents of macroelements (Na, K, Ca, Mg, and P) and microelements (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, and B) of four varieties of avocado obtained and consumed in the island of Tenerife, Canary Islands, have been determined. The samples mineral contents of the different avocado varieties showed significant differences. Thus, the concentration levels of Ca, Mg, and Mn are higher in the Hass variety; those of K, Fe, and Zn, in the Orotava variety; those of Na and B in the Hass and Fuerte varieties; that of P in the Arona and Hass varieties; and that of Cu in the Arona and Fuerte varieties. The area of origin of Hass avocado also influences the mineral content of the samples: those from the north of Tenerife show higher contents of K, Ca, P, Fe, Cu, Zn, and B, and those from the south, of Na, Mg, and Mn.     

Multi‐element characterisation of carob,fig and almond liqueurs by MP‐AES

Carob pod, fig and almond liqueurs are produced in various Mediterranean regions. This work reports the mineral content of these traditional beverages and evaluates the influence of the raw material. Twenty‐five fruit liqueurs from 16 producers were analysed. A simple open‐vessel sample mineralization by wet digestion using nitric acid–hydrogen peroxide (1:1) was used before spectrometric analysis. Nine essential elements (Cu, Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe, Zn, Mn and P) and two non‐essentials (Cd and Pb) were quantified by microwave plasma–atomic emission spectrometry (MP‐AES). Carob liqueur presented the broader profile of minerals and was the only fruit liqueur containing iron (72.7% of samples), phosphorous, manganese and low levels of lead (in two of the 11 samples). Conversely, almond liqueurs contained the lowest mineral content with only five elements detected. Fruit liqueurs showed variability in mineral content even within the same liqueur, presumably as a consequence of the different manufacturing processes. Despite this variability, application of principal component analysis to essential mineral concentrations (K, Na, Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe and Zn) resulted in satisfactory classification (PC1 and PC2 accounting for 78.5% of the total variance) of the Portuguese liqueurs evaluated.

Chemical composition of shell and flesh of three prawn samples from Lagos lagoon

The protein, ash, fibre and individual mineral ion contents of three species of prawn taken from the Lagos lagoon were determined. The median liveweights of Macrobrachium vollenhovenii (Herklots), Palaemon species A (Powell) and Penaeus notialis were respectively, 25.52 g (shell + head 16.76 g; flesh 9.26 g), 3.15 g (shell + head 1.71 g; flesh 1.44 g) and 5.11 g (shell + head 2.14 g; flesh 2.96 g). All (shell + head) samples had high protein, ash and fibre contents but only the protein content was high in the flesh, which had low or undetectable quantities of fibre. The fat and carbohydrates contents were generally low. In M vollenhovenii the (shell + head) was a better source of Mg, Zn, Cu and K than the flesh, which was a better source of Ca, Ni, P, Fe, Co and Na. In P species A the (shell + head) was a better source of Ca, Mg, P, Cu, Co, Na and K than the flesh (higher in Zn and Ni). In P notialis the (shell + head) was the better source of Ca, Zn, P, Fe and Co and the flesh the better source of Mg, Ni, Fe, Na and K. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry     

Mineral composition of lamb carcasses from the United States and New Zealand

The mineral composition-iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), potassium (K), fluoride (F), and phosphorus (P) (New Zealand lamb only)-of lean tissue from lamb retail cuts was studied. Twenty-four US lamb carcasses of different ages (5 to 11 months), geographical regions (Texas, Colorado and Montana) and USDA quality grades (Prime and Choice) and 27 New Zealand lamb carcasses from three weight groups (11 to 12·5 kg, 13 to 14·5 kg, and 16·5 to 18 kg), age rangining from 7 to 8 months, were selected for use in this study. Mineral concentrations were influenced more by retail cut and age than by quality grade or weigth group. Foreshank and shoulder cuts from both the US and New Zealand group consistently had the highest (P < 0·05) Zn content among the cuts. The K content of the muscle in US lambs increased as age increased, while the level of Ca and Zn in New Zealand lambs decreased as carcass weight increased. Except for Ca, the mineral concentrations of the lean tissue from US lambs were higher than the New Zealand lambs, although the differences were not always significant. US lambs had approximately 20%, 30% and 37% more Fe, Zn and Mg, respectively, but 27% less Ca than lean tissue from the New Zealand lambs.
