Speciation analysis of selenomethylcysteine (SeMeCys), selenomethionine (SeMet) and selenocystine (SeCys) has been performed using a direct amino acid analysis method with high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) coupled with integrated pulsed amperometric detection (IPAD). Three selenoamino acids could be baseline-separated from 19 amino acids using gradient elution conditions for amino acids and determined under new six-potential waveform. Detection limits for SeMeCys, SeMet and SeCys were 0.25, 1 and 20 microg/L (25 microL injection, 10 times of the baseline noise), respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 200 microg/L SeMeCys, SeMet and SeCys were 3.1, 4.1 and 2.8%, respectively (n=9, 25 microL injection). The proposed method has been applied for determination of selenoamino acids in extracts of garlic and selenious yeast granule samples. No selenoamino acids were found in garlic. Both SeMet and SeCys were detected in selenious yeast tablet with the content of 45 and 129 microg Se/g, respectively. Selenoamino acids standards were spiked in garlic and yeast granule samples and the recovery ranged from 90 to 106%.

Dough fermentation is an effective method for selenium conversion. This study investigated the effects of low NaSeO concentrations on the morphology, texture, fermentation properties, Se species, Se bioaccessibility, and antioxidant capacity of two types of yeast-leaved steamed bread. The results indicated that NaSeO did not significantly affect the specific volume; but it did result in increased hardness.

The interplay between intestinal barrier degradation and trace element insufficiency worsens inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Selenium (se) is essential for glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) synthesis, which protects against intestinal epithelial cell injury in IBD. However, malnutrition and malabsorption limit the availability of dietary selenium.

The organic selenium (Se), particularly in the form of selenoamino acids, in non-edible sections or by-products of Se-enriched plants, has the potential to generate Maillard reaction products (MRPs) during thermal treatment or fermentation. To elucidate the recycling process of organic selenium in foods and improve the utilization rate of Se, the biotransformation of organic selenium was studied by the cultivation of edible radish sprouts with Se-MPRs. Maillard reactions were simulated using selenoamino acids (SeAAs; selenomethionine and methylselenocysteine) and reducing sugars (glucose and fructose) for preparing Se-MRPs.

Soybean is a food crop with strong selenium (Se) enrichment ability. Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are a low-toxic Se source. To develop strategies in SeNPs biofortification of soybean and natto, the effects of Se enrichment and natto fermentation on selenoamino acids, mineral elements, free amino acids, γ-polyglutamic acid, nattokinase, and bioaccessibility were investigated.
