“…The highest carotenoid bioaccessibility was in wheatgrass, where 16.6 % of the total carotenoid content was transferred to the micelle fraction. Under the conditions of the present experiment, the bioaccessibility of carotenoids from powdered health supplements, with the exception of wheatgrass, is low in comparison with those reported for foods (3) .…”

“…However despite these recommendations, the timing, type and method of complementary feeding have been at the forefront of dialogues in the scientific world and media over the past few decades. Specific topics that have been debated include: the most appropriate age of introduction of solids, particularly allergenic foods [4], crucial times for introduction of different tastes and textures [5,6], use of organic or non-organic foods [7] and employing a baby-led weaning approach or not [8,9]. The use of homemade versus commercially produced infant foods is central to all of these discussions.…”

Background: Commercially produced infant food has a different taste profile and nutritional content to homemade baby food and its consumption is now very widespread. This change in early food experience may lead to a reduced dietary variety and a decreased microbial load exposure.Objective: The purpose of this study was to gain insight into parental perceptions of complementary feeding, specifically opinions of commercially produced baby food, using qualitative research methods. Methods:Four focus group discussions took place (n = 24), with mothers of infants aged 4-7 months. Half of participants were first time mothers and a third had experience weaning infants with symptoms of cows' milk allergy. Participants were prompted with questions about complementary feeding and shown several different products to stimulate discussion.Results: Thematic analysis of focus groups indicated that three distinctive groups of mothers exist; "relaxed", "concerned" and "balanced", which may be influenced by parity, socioeconomic status and previous experience of weaning. The majority of mothers commenced the weaning process using homemade foods, but transitioned to include commercial baby foods after 3-6 weeks. Commercial baby food was perceived as more convenient to homemade baby food by the majority and as superior and "safer" by some mothers. Although there were concerns raised about the identity of ingredients, few concerns were expressed regarding nutritional quality or allergen content, even by mothers with experience of weaning an infant with food allergic symptoms. Conclusion:Overall complementary feeding was viewed as a natural process with the goal of enjoyment of food and development of a broad palate. Opinions on readymade baby food were influenced by parity, education level and previous experience of weaning.

“…It is possible to determine the bioaccessibility of a carotenoid by measuring the quantity transferred to the micelle fraction following a simulated in vitro digestion procedure (Jiwan, Duane, O'Sullivan, O'Brien, & Aherne, 2010). The micelle fraction is isolated by ultracentrifugation of the digested samples.…”
