The soil environmental pollution situation has been severe in recent years, but studies on evaluating with bioavailability testing and prediction models are lacking, which makes it difficult to accurately assess the ecological risks of contaminated soil. As an important indicator of bioavailability, the bioaccessibility of cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) in the soil was analyzed in this study. The bioaccessibility content and their corresponding soil property data were screened and systematically analyzed to explore the relationship between bioaccessibility content and soil properties. Furthermore, some testing methods for bioaccessibility were summarized to analyze the relationship between bioaccessibility content, test methods, and bioavailability content. Additionally, the bioaccessibility content prediction models were established. The results showed that there was a strong correlation between the bioaccessibility content and the total content of heavy metals (<0.01) and a significant (<0.05) correlation with the soil pH. Different test methods had obvious effects on bioavailability. The proportion of bioaccessibility content determined via various test methods was as follows:in vitro gastrointestinal tract simulation>chemical reagent extraction. The proportions of bioaccessibility content of Cd and Pb in natural soil were relatively high, with mean values of 42.12% and 37.33%, respectively, indicating that Cd and Pb had higher risks of being absorbed by soil organisms. Moreover, 30 bioaccessibility prediction models for five heavy metals were constructed, which involved the soil properties and test methods. The results of this study can provide scientific information and bioaccessibility prediction models that can help in accurately assessing the ecological risks of contaminated soil.

Incorporating bioaccessibility into health risk assessments enhances the accuracy of exposure estimates for heavy metal (HM) pollution, supports targeted remediation, and informs public health and policy decisions, particularly for vulnerable populations. Because HM bioaccessibility depends on local soil and geographic characteristics, identifying its relationship with soil properties is crucial for assessing soil pollution potential. Although HM concentrations can be measured relatively easily, bioaccessibility requires complex laboratory procedures, limiting routine applications in regulatory contexts.

Plant-derived extracellular vesicles have presented great potential in drug and/or nutrition delivery, but it is still unclear whether the variety affects the physicochemical properties of plant derived extracellular vesicles. In this work, the extracellular vesicles from various oranges were first characterized, including navel orange juice (NOJ), green orange juice (GOJ), bingtang orange juice (BTOJ) and blood orange juice (BOJ). The results exhibited obvious distinctions of extracellular vesicles among different oranges, such as vesicle concentration, surface potential, lipid composition, protein content and so on.

In this study, the effects of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP)-mediated alterations in matrix composition on the bioaccessibility of carotenoids in satsuma mandarin juice were assessed. Results showed that the total carotenoid content increased significantly under HHP treatment (300-600 MPa), and the total carotenoids bioaccessibility was optimal at 600 MPa/1 min. The bioaccessibility of carotenoids in satsuma mandarin juice was positively correlated with the contents of titratable acids, total phenols and total sugars, all of which increased significantly after HHP.

This study evaluated the feasibility of using ferrous sulfate microparticles (FSM), produced through the combination of spray drying and spray chilling techniques, to fortify plant-based yogurt and increase dietary iron intake. The stability of FSM was assessed, and iron bioavailability was estimated using the standardized INFOGEST in vitro digestion method, followed by Caco-2 cell culture assays. FSM showed moisture content and water activity (Aw <0.

Background: Standard Unified BioAccessibility Research Group of Europe (BARGE) Method (UBM) protocols for metal bioaccessibility assessment face challenges due to post-acidification precipitation, causing significant methodological inconsistencies across studies. This research systematically examined precipitate formation by characterizing protein-metal interactions and identifying specific proteins involved, leading to development of an enhanced UBM method for more reliable metal bioaccessibility measurements in consumer products. We focused on precipitation caused by acid injection during sample storage for subsequent instrumental analysis.
