Phytic acid (PA) in soy foods acts as an antinutrient through chelate minerals and proteins, yet it may also contribute to system stability. To improve mineral bioaccessibility and balancing physical stability, soymilk with varied PA levels was fabricated by modulating phytase treatment (0-15 U/g). The physical properties, mineral bioaccessibility, and microrheology of soymilk were investigated. Results showed that moderate enzymolysis (retaining 65.17 % PA) increased bioaccessible calcium content by 28.61 % without stability loss, whereas complete PA removal maximized iron and zinc bioaccessibility by 43.21 % and 74.01 % but induced instability. Furthermore, PA degradation increased particle mobility in soymilk and the soluble content of α subunits and basic peptide. Spatial distribution analysis demonstrated preferential hydrolysis of free/soluble PA promoted mineral release. Negative correlations between PA distribution and bioaccessible mineral contents were established. These findings emphasise PA's dual role in balancing mineral bioaccessibility and colloidal stability, providing formulation strategies for high nutritional plant-based products.

The correlation between Pb species formation and bioaccessibility in alkaline, smelter-impacted soil co-contaminated with other toxic trace elements after treatment with phosphorus-containing amendments was investigated. The soil was collected near a former copper smelter, El Paso, Texas. It contained Pb (3200 ± 142 mg kg), As (254 ± 14 mg kg), and Cd (110 ± 8 mg kg).

Although selenium (Se)-enriched soils represent a scarce resource, heavy metal contamination has restricted their utilization. The Huigu Town region, recognized as one of China's naturally Se-enriched areas, was selected for this study. We collected 30 paired rice grain and paddy soil samples to investigate the concentrations of heavy metal(loid)s (Se, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn), pollution levels, and health risks within the soil-rice system.

The metals and metalloids (metal[loid]s) in the newly formed soil-slag mixing systems (SSMS), formed by the invasion of smelting slag into contaminated soils, may pose potential risks to environment and residents near the smelter sites. In this study, sequential extraction, leaching tests and in vitro bioaccessibility assays were conducted to assess the ecological and human health risk of metal(loid)s in SSMS. The results indicated that the contaminated soils and smelting slags were composed of more than 80 % silicate and oxide minerals, which served as the host phases for metal(loid)s in SSMS.

In recent years, global consumption of seaweed has been on the rise, yet there is a lack of accurate methods for assessing the health risks associated with its consumption. This gap could pose a threat to public safety or lead to wasted resources by government regulatory bodies. In this study, animal models and an innovative PBET (IPBET) were used to determine the bioavailability and bioaccessibility of arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) in various seaweeds, followed by an in vivo-in vitro correlation (IVIVC) analysis.

Minerals control on the oral bioavailability of arsenic (As) in soil has been evidenced in human health risk assessments. However, little is known about the metabolism of soil mineral-associated As by human gut microbiota. This study evaluated the relative bioavailability (RBA) and bioaccessibility of As in As(V)-sorbed Aluminum (Al) oxides (α-AlO and γ-AlO), affected by gut microbiota and Fe(III).
