Profile and bioavailability analysis of myo-inositol phosphates in rye bread supplemented with phytases: a study using an in vitro method and Caco-2 monolayers

Abstract

Commercial preparations of 6-phytase A alone and in combination with phytase B were used in rye breadmaking. Determination of bioavailability of myo-inositol phosphates from bread was performed by an in vitro digestion method followed by the measurement of an uptake by Caco-2 cells in culture. In bread supplemented with a combination of 6-phytase A and phytase B, a significant reduction in phytate content was observed from 3.62 μmol/g in the control to 0.7 μmol/g. Bioavailability of phytate estimated by an in vitro method simulating digestion in the human alimentary tract was 9% in the bread supplemented with phytase B, 7% (6-phytase A) and 50% in the control bread. In cell culture, the bioaccessibilities of inositol triphosphates from bread baked with the addition of 6-phytase A was higher by 36% as compared to the samples baked with phytase B and by 32% in breads baked with combination of both phytases.
