Keys to assessing stability and bioaccessibility"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Incorporating a functional ingredient into a food does not guarantee that it will retain its properties during processing and storage, or that its bioactive compounds will be available during digestion. Ingredients such as polyphenols, carotenoids and fibres offer new opportunities for innovation, but also present challenges related to their stability, bioaccessibility and interactions with the food matrix.<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\"><br \/>\nDoes the ingredient remain stable throughout the product&#8217;s shelf life? How does the food matrix influence its behaviour? What happens when it reaches the digestive system?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Answering these questions is essential to translate the potential of an ingredient into a final product with better-characterised functionality and a solid scientific basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Ingredient stability: beyond its incorporation into food<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">An ingredient may exhibit interesting properties under laboratory conditions and behave differently when incorporated into an industrial formulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Temperature, oxygen, light, pH or humidity can affect certain bioactive compounds during processing and storage. Some polyphenols, for example, may undergo chemical transformations, while certain carotenoids are sensitive to oxidation and processing conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Therefore, knowing the initial concentration of the ingredient is not enough. It is necessary to assess how it changes within the product and whether it retains the characteristics relevant to the functionality being studied. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ainia.com\/laboratorios\/asistencias-tecnicas-estudios\/estudios-estabilidad-calidad-producto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stability studies<\/a> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">make it possible to identify potential losses or transformations, compare formulations and select more suitable processing and storage conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The food matrix can change the behaviour of a bioactive compound<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One of the aspects gaining increasing importance in the development of functional foods is the so-called matrix effect.<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">Proteins, fats, fibres and other food components can interact with bioactive compounds and modify their stability, release and behaviour during digestion.<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">This means that the same ingredient may produce different results when incorporated into a beverage, a dairy product or a solid formulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Furthermore, a higher concentration of a compound does not necessarily imply greater availability to the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Understanding these interactions helps to select the matrix, adjust concentrations and design formulations that favour the expected behaviour of the ingredient.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Bioaccessibility and bioavailability: what happens during digestion?<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Once food has been consumed, its components pass through different gastrointestinal conditions that can modify their structure and availability.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Bioaccessibility refers to the fraction of a compound that is released from the food matrix during digestion and becomes available for potential intestinal absorption.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Bioavailability, on the other hand, involves considering how much is actually absorbed and becomes available in the body.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This distinction is important because an ingredient may remain stable during storage and yet have limited bioaccessibility.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-contrast=\"none\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ainia.com\/soluciones-servicios\/belleza-salud-bienestar\/ensayos-digestor-dinamico-in-vitro-bioaccesib-cultivo-celular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>In vitro<\/em> gastrointestinal digestion models<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/em> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">make it possible to study how a compound is released or transformed during the digestive process. When it is necessary to investigate its behaviour in greater depth, they can be complemented by intestinal absorption models, colonic fermentation models or cell studies.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These tools provide relevant information for comparing ingredients and formulations, although their results do not replace the clinical evidence needed to demonstrate certain effects in humans.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What strategies can improve stability and bioaccessibility?<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When limitations are identified, there are different technological alternatives for optimising the behaviour of functional ingredients.<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">Microencapsulation, for example, can help protect certain compounds against adverse environmental conditions and modify their release profile.<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\"><br \/>\nOther strategies, such as fermentation or certain enzymatic treatments, can transform components of the raw material and modify their availability during digestion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, no technology can guarantee an improvement in bioaccessibility on its own. Its effectiveness depends on the compound, the matrix and the application conditions. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Therefore, it is particularly useful to compare formulations experimentally before selecting a development strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>From ingredient characterisation to functional validation of the product<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For companies, the challenge lies in integrating these evaluations into the innovation process, from ingredient selection to final product validation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Combining stability, gastrointestinal digestion and biological activity studies provides a more comprehensive understanding of its behaviour and helps identify opportunities for improvement.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This information also helps to support R&#038;D decisions, reduce uncertainties during development and guide the generation of scientific evidence, distinguishing it from the regulatory requirements applicable to health claims.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How AINIA can help you<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At AINIA, we help companies design, develop and evaluate functional ingredients and foods, working on formulation and the incorporation of ingredients into different food matrices, while taking into account process variables, interactions with the matrix and preservation treatments.
