Bioavailability of Phlorotannins and Carotenoids Following the Intake of Crackers Fortified With Seaweed
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Seaweed cracker: Four crackers (20 g) fortified with seaweed Himanthalia elongata
Control cracker: Four crackers (20 g) without seaweed in its composition
Study summary
The study aims to evaluate the bioavailability of phlorotannins and carotenoids from the seaweed Himanthalia elongata in healthy individuals after the consumption of a cracker fortified with this plant species. The study consists of an acute, blinded, randomized, controlled, crossover trial in which each participant consumes both the fortified cracker and a control cracker without seaweed. This design allows the comparison of the bioavailability of these compounds when incorporated into a bakery-based food matrix.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Targeted metabolic analysis of phlorotannins in blood/urine samples — 2 moths
Targeted metabolomic analysis of phlorotannins in plasma and urine samples will be conducted using HPLC-QTOF-MS. Quantification of the concentration (μM) will be carried out employing authentic commercial standards, ensuring accurate and reliable measurement of target compounds.
