Bioavailabilty
Degree to which an ingested nutrient undergoes intestinal absorption and metabolic function or utilization within the body
Influences on Bioavailability
1-release from food matrix2-absorption and distribution3-utilization
Fat soluble vitamins
A-antioxidant quenches singlet oxygen, high in liverD and KE-antioxidant, platelet aggregation
Water Soluble Vitamins
C-antioxidant, free radical intermediateB
Influences on Vitamins
1-raw materials 2-postharvesting changes3-preliminary treatments: trimming, washing, milling4-food formula 5-storage condition 6- food packaging
