Residual digestive enzymes damaged the Caco-2 monolayer and necessitated the requirements for the additional clean-up of the digesta. Several digesta cleanup treatments were examined, and the C18 column, along with AEBSF inhibitor, was selected as the most effective treatment. However, the cleanup treatment reduced lutein, zeaxanthin, and ferulic acid concentrations. The bioaccessibility of lutein from muffins was high at 92\u201394% (without clean-up) and 81\u201386% (with cleanup); however, the cellular uptake was low (7\u20139%). The bioaccessibility and cellular uptake (4\u201311%) of zeaxanthin were lower than lutein. Ferulic acid from muffins exhibited a wide range of bioaccessibility for non-cleanup (105\u2013229%) and clean-up (53\u2013133%) digesta samples; however, cellular uptake was very low (0.5\u20131.8%). Bread made from wheat\/HCS had higher lutein bioaccessibility (47\u201380%) than the control bread (42%), with an apical cellular uptake ranging from 4.3 to 9.2%. Similar to muffins, the bioaccessibility of zeaxanthin from bread was lower than lutein, while ferulic acid had a fairly high bioaccessibility at 98\u2013103% (without clean-up) and 81\u2013102% (with cleanup); however, zeaxanthin cellular uptake was low (0.2%). These results suggest that muffins and bread could boost the daily consumption of lutein, zeaxanthin, and ferulic acid, allowing for a small portion to be absorbed in the small intestine.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods12061307","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]],"date-time":"2023-03-20T02:38:27Z","timestamp":1679279907000},"page":"1307","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Bioaccessibility and Cellular Uptake of Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Ferulic Acid from Muffins and Breads Made from Hairless Canary Seed, Wheat and Corn Blends"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"El-Sayed M.","family":"Abdel-Aal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Guelph Research and Development Centre, 93 Stone Road West, Guelph, ON N1G 5C9, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iwona","family":"Rabalski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Guelph Research and Development Centre, 93 Stone Road West, Guelph, ON N1G 5C9, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Carey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Guelph Research and Development Centre, 93 Stone Road West, Guelph, ON N1G 5C9, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tamer H.","family":"Gamel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Guelph Research and Development Centre, 93 Stone Road West, Guelph, ON N1G 5C9, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Abdel-Aal, E.-S.M., Mats, L., and Rabalski, I.
