“…Drago and Valencia [17] observed higher iron absorption in whey than in casein protein. Also, the absorption of iron decreased when locust bean gum was introduced in a casein diet compared with whey protein in dairy infants diet [18]. Low iron concentrations in the body cause disorders such as anemia [19].…”

Studies on dietary fiber and nutrient bioavailability have gained an increasing interest in both human and animal nutrition. Questions are increasingly being asked regarding the faith of nutrient components such as proteins, minerals, vitamins, and lipids after feed formulation. The aim of this review is to evaluate the evidence with the perspective of fiber usage in feed formulation. The consumption of dietary fiber may affect the absorption of nutrients in different ways. The physicochemical factors of dietary fiber, such as fermentation, bulking ability, binding ability, viscosity and gel formation, water-holding capacity and solubility affect nutrient absorption. The dietary fiber intake influences the different methods in which nutrients are absorbed. The increase in the total fiber content of the diet may delay the glycemic response. Soluble fiber decreased blood glucose content whereas purified insoluble fiber has a little or no effect on the blood glucose levels after a meal. Dietary fiber and prebiotics influence the host animal well-being by regulating blood glucose or insulin levels, stool bulking effects, increasing the acidity of the gut, constructive synthesis of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), decreasing intestinal transit time, stimulating the growth of intestinal microbes, and increasing blood parameters. Previous studies suggest that fiber affects the bioavailability of nutrients, and maintains the host wellness.

“…Thus, the concern about the use of a diet rich in dietary fiber in this age range, as a function of the probable inhibitory effect of the dietary fiber on iron absorption, is one of the justifications for not establishing a minimum level for fiber consumption during the first year of life. However, the studies that have evaluated the interaction of dietary fibers with iron in the intestine have not presented results which are completely in agreement with each other, and among the analyzed studies is the effect of fiber on iron absorption based on a single test meal [9], concerning apparent absorption [10,11] or in vitro methods [12,13]. In addition, bioavailability and intestinal iron absorption can be evaluated over a broader and more prolonged period through the regeneration of a hemoglobin mass model in rats with iron deficiency anemia previously induced through a diet poor in iron [14].…”

The objective of this study was to verify whether soluble fiber pectin interferes in growth and intestinal iron absorption in rats during iron deficiency anemia recovery. Twenty-one-day-old Wistar rats (n = 48) were fed for 2 weeks on a diet without iron in order to induce iron deficiency anemia. The anemic animals (age = 36 days) were divided into two groups: (1) pectin, 50 g of pectin per kilogram of diet, and (2) control, diet without dietary fiber. Iron was added to the diets for the two groups in order to reverse the anemia. During the iron deficiency anemia recovery phase (3 weeks), the pectin group showed lower mean values (p < 0.05) of weekly food intake (89.18 +/- 10.82; 107.60 +/- 11.70; 114.50 +/- 16.29 g, respectively, for the pectin group and 99.56 +/- 10.60; 116.36 +/- 15.33; 125.66 +/- 17.25 g, respectively, for the control group). The body weight of the pectin group was lower (p < 0.05) during the study's second and third weeks (192.42 +/- 16.67 and 228.75 +/- 19.81 g, respectively, and 202.87 +/- 19.96 and 243.51 +/- 20.44 g for the control group). Pectin led to a reduction in food intake and growth but not to iron absorption when taking into account the regeneration of hemoglobin mass.

“…In the other direction, dietary fiber has been shown to impair the absorption of minerals and trace elements in the small intestine because of their binding and/or sequestering effects [7]. This is associated with negative impacts on mineral bioavailability, particularly in high-risk population groups [8]. Glucose, calcium and iron have gained increasing interest in nutrition fields.…”
