Calcium bioavailability dietary phytate

Many other dietary factors have been reported to affect calcium bioavailability. Phytate, fiber, cellulose, uronic acids, sodium alginate, oxalate, fat (only in the presence of steatorrhea), and alcohol have been reported to decrease calcium bioavailability (15). Lactose and medium chain triglyceride increase it (15). FTuoride also affects calcium retention primarily by stimulating bone formation thereby decreasing calcium excretion (33-38). The effects of fluoride on calcium utilization have been variable (34,38,39). [Pg.24]

Our studies do not resolve the question of phytate vs fiber for the effect of wheat bran on dietary calcium bioavailability. Phytate level clearly affected apparent absorption of calcium in HS-II in the presence of an amount of the water insoluble fraction of dephytinized bran equivalent to 12 g of untreated bran and the phytate supplied as sodium phytate. An additional trial using untreated bran and the same amount of fiber as the water insoluble fraction with sodium phytate could resolve the question of fiber vs phytate. In HS-I, the balances were positive when a relatively large amount of bran, 36 g/day, was consumed. Calcium intakes were possibly higher than most men consume, but under the dietary conditions imposed for 15 days, the phytate and fiber of 36 g of bran did not express an adverse effect on calcium balance. [Pg.73]

Wheat bran has been the fiber source most commonly used to study effects of dietary fiber on calcium absorption in controlled laboratory studies. However, wheat bran and other forms of fiber as they occur in food products present several disadvantages in terms of definition and by concurrently altering intakes of other substances or materials known or suspected of having an adverse effect on the bioavailability of calcium such as phytates and oxalates (5,13,17,22-28). Several studies have been conducted which have sought to separate or compare the effects of phytate and fiber... [Pg.175]

Oberleas (.9) first suggested that the molar ratio of phytate to zinc might be useful for prediction of the zinc bioavailability from phytate-rich foods. Molar ratios of greater than 20 1 seemed to be indicative of poorly available zinc. O Dell (10), Morris and Ellis (11) and Davies and Olpin (12) have all pointed out the importance of the calcium content of the diet to the phytate to zinc molar ratio. Higher dietary calcium clearly depresses zinc bioavailability at phytate to zinc molar ratios of less than 20 1 in diets fed to rats. [Pg.174]

As pointed out earlier in this review, increasing the level of dietary calcium decreases the zinc bioavailability from phytate-containing foods. Presumably the mechanism is through the formation of chemical complexes containing zinc, phytate and calcium which are insoluble at intestinal pH and nonabsorbable (24). Recently, our laboratories used slope ratio techniques to compare the bioavailability of zinc contained in calcium sulfate-and in magnesium chloride-precipitated soybean curd (Tofu) to that of zinc added as the carbonate to egg white diets by slope ratio techniques (25). Total dietary calcium level in all diets was adjusted to 0.7% with calcium carbonate. The results (not shown) indicated that the relative availability of zinc from both tofu preparations was 51% as measured by weight gain and 36-39% for bone zinc. These results are similar to those reported for full fat soy flour (16) in Table I. [Pg.178]

Two metabolic balance studies were conducted using healthy adult men to study the effect of phytate on bioavailability of dietary calcium. Dietary treatments were each 15 days in duration. In the first study, a mean daily calcium balance of 208+58 (SD) mg was observed when 2.0 g of phytate from 36 g of whole wheat bran was consumed daily with 1100 mg of calcium, phytate/calcium molar ratio 0.11. Calcium balance was 184+87 mg when 36 g of dephytinized bran was consumed with the same intake of calcium, phytate/calcium molar ratio 0.01. In the second study, calcium intake was 740 mg/day. [Pg.65]

Apparent absorption (intake minus fecal excretion) of calcium decreased when the diet contained muffins with added sodium phytate to increase the molar ratio of phytate/calcium from 0.04 to 0.14 and 0.24. One-half of the men excreted more calcium in feces than was consumed when the high phytate diet was consumed. People consuming diets with molar ratios of phytate/calcium exceeding 0.2 may be at risk of calcium deficiency because of low bioavailability of dietary calcium unless physiological adjustments can be accomplished that maintain homeostasis. [Pg.65]

The results of dietary zinc analysis need to be considered in terms of the availability of the zinc in the food for intestinal absorption. The zinc content of whole meals and the total daily zinc intake are not sufficient information on their own, without knowledge of factors which inhibit or promote intestinal absorption (O Dell, 1984). Free ionic zinc probably does not exist in the intestinal tract, zinc being bound to molecular species such as protein, amino acids, phytic acid, citrate and others. The bioavailability of the metal is determined by the nature of these zinc binding ligands. When the zinc complex is insolubie as in Zn-phytate, the uptake from diet is poor, whereas zinc-protein or zinc-amino acid complexes are more easily dissociated and are a good source of available zinc. Other dietary components affect zinc absorption such as the amount of iron, calcium and phosphate. [Pg.547]
