Soy-based beverages are one of the most consumed plant-based beverages, which have been used as a substitute for dairy products. Soy is a source of several nutrients (vitamins, minerals, and phenolic compounds, etc.) and its consumption is usually associated with several benefits, such as the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and osteoporosis.

- Magnetic nanoparticles (MNps) have promising applications in biomedicine, such as drug delivery and MRI imaging, but their safety and potential toxicity remain under-researched due to varying surface modifications.
- The study focused on synthesizing citrate-coated magnetite nanoparticles (IONps) and assessed their toxic effects using both in vitro and in vivo models, finding that they did not significantly impact cell viability or cause adverse effects in animal testing.
- Despite a slight increase in iron levels in the liver, the nanoparticles demonstrated a simple and effective production method, showing potential as safe and effective drug delivery systems.
Unlabelled: To guarantee the adequate intake of nutrients a variety of food supplementation (including infant formulas) has been used to ensure the nutrition of infants. Considering that the total concentration of nutrients is not enough to determine whether the food provides all the nutritional needs, the objective of this study was to evaluate the total concentration and bioaccessibility of some elements in thirty commercial infant formulas consumed in Brazil. A standardized in vitro gastrointestinal digestion method was used to obtain the soluble fraction of each mineral, which was analyzed by ICP OES after microwave oxidative digestion to obtain the bioaccessibility values.

The peptide-iron complexes microparticles were obtained by spray drying and added in three dry formulations (tangerine, strawberry, and chocolate flavors). The peptides isolated by iron ion affinity (IMAC-Fe III) had their biological activity predicted by BIOPEP® database and were evaluated by molecular coupling.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTea is one of the most consumed non-alcoholic beverages in world and it has been frequently associated to health benefits. Besides its nutrient composition, non-essential trace elements associated with toxic effects may also be present. Ever since food components undergo biotransformation process along gastrointestinal tract after ingestion, it is important to evaluate both total and bioavailable content of trace elements.
