摘要
Within the scientific agricultural community it is widely known that the total micronutrient content of soils is not a useful measure of the amount of 'available' micronutrients to plants. Thus, soil tests have been developed to determine the amounts of micronutrients in soils available to plants for growth. This same concept applies to plant foods eaten by humans because not all of the micronutrients in plant foods are available (i.e, bioavailable) for absorption and or utilization. Antinutrients and promoter substances within plant foods that can either inhibit or enhance the absorption and/or utilization of micronutrients when eaten. As a result, numerous techniques have been developed to determine the amounts of bioavailable micronutrients present in plant foods when consumed in mixed diets with other dietary constituents that can interact and affect the micronutrient bioavailability. Unfortunately, micronutrient bioavailability to humans fed mixed diets is still a confusing and complex issue fur the human nutrition community. Our understanding of the processes that control micronutrient bioavailability from mixed diets containing plant foods is relatively limited and still evolving. It remains the subject of extensive research in many human nutrition laboratories globally. This article reviews some of the numerous methodologies that have arisen to account for the bioavailability of micronutrients in plant foods when eaten by humans. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
