Mineralogical Characterisation to improve understanding of oral bioaccessibility of Cr and Ni in Basaltic Soils in Northern Ireland [PDF]
, 2016 Underlying bedrock is often the source of elevated levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) (including Ni and Cr) in soils, which can be at concentrations exceeding regulatory guidelines for the protection of human health.

Occurrence and Washout of Health‐Hazardous Chemicals in Children's Clothing
Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.A survey of 60 children's garments from the Swedish market showed a varying, often highly complex chemical content. The highest levels were generally found in synthetic materials and the lowest in light‐coloured cotton. Further, the washout effect by laundry and sweat migration of textile chemicals was investigated.

Synergetic effect of onion (Allium cepa), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and garlic (Allium sativum) on in vitro iron bioaccessibility from cooked dehusked mungbean [PDF]
, 2016 The usage of combination of onion (Allium cepa), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and garlic (Allium sativum) in legume preparations is vogue in North India but the amounts of these three additives need to be optimized to enhance iron bioavailability from ...

Chromium and Cobalt in Used Leather Items: A Danish Market Survey
Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.Used leather items from the Danish second‐hand market frequently release chromium(VI) and, in some cases, cobalt. Some items exceed current EU limits, highlighting a persistent but underrecognised source of exposure in the circular economy that may contribute to ongoing contact allergy despite existing regulations.

Whey protein and sphingomyelin but not casein contribute to α-tocopherol bioaccessibility in skim milk [PDF]
, 2018 Bioaccessibility, or the extent to which nutrients can be taken up by enterocytes, is an important predictor of nutrient bioavailability. Despite being fat-soluble, the relatively high bioaccessibility of α-tocopherol (α-T) is unaffected by the fat ...

A novel two-step sequential bioaccessibility test for potentially toxic elements in inhaled particulate matter transported into the gastrointestinal tract by mucociliary clearance [PDF]
, 2017 A novel two-step sequential extraction has been developed to assess the bioaccessibility of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn in airborne particulate matter following inhalation and transport into the human gastrointestinal tract by mucociliary ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Ulvan is a polysaccharide available from green seaweed with beneficial properties for various applications. The full potential of ulvan requires enzymatic degradation of the polymer, thus producing ulvan oligosaccharides. This study expands the armoury of characterised ulvan lyases.

Bioaccessibility and bioavailability of phenolic compounds
Journal of Food Bioactives, 2018 Modern epidemiological and interventional studies have demonstrated that various bioactivities including antioxidant, antiproliferative, immune-regulatory, hormonal-regulation abilities and neuro-/hepato-/cardioprotective effects result from consumption of a phenolic-rich diet.

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Carotenoids and apocarotenoids are widespread specialized metabolites, yet animals, including sponges, lack the ability to synthesize carotenoids de novo and must obtain them from dietary or microbial sources. The roles of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) in marine animals remain largely unexplored. A CCD from the marine sponge Suberites
