Abstract
In the present study, we have investigated the bioavailability of biotransformed organic zinc enriched dahi in vivo. The results evidence that the rats fed with zinc enriched dahi (ZED and ZEP) significantly increased (p<0.001) body weight and food intake from zero to third weeks. Analysis of zinc by AAS in body parts of different rat groups indicated that zinc content was significantly higher (p<0.001) in serum, femur bone, liver and hair of rats fed ZED/ZEP. Basal diet and inorganic zinc sulphate fed rat group excreted a greater amount of zinc in faeces. The results of in-vivo studies indicated that the bioavailability of organic zinc through dahi/probiotic dahi is high compared to its inorganic form.
期刊介绍:
The International journal of Probiotics & Prebiotics publishes on online only in an open access format. This is a broad based international, interdisciplinary peer reviewed scientific journal for critical evaluation of research on prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics. The major goal of this journal is to provide unbiased scientific data to students, researchers, healthcare providers, and the decision makers in the nutraceutical industry to help make informed choices about prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics. To this end, the journal will publish original research articles and two types of review articles. First, we will publish a review of preclinical research data coming largely from animal, cell culture and other experimental models. Such data will provide basis for future product development and/or human research initiatives. Second, we will publish a critical evaluation of current human experimental data to help deliver products with medically proven use.
