Mammalian lignan production from various foods

Abstract: Mammalian lignans such as enterolactone and enterodiol, which are produced in the colon from precursors in foods, have been suggested as playing a role in the cancer-protective effect of vegetarian diets. Despite this, very little is known regarding the amount that is produced from different food products. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the production of mammalian lignans from 68 common plant foods by using the technique of in vitro fermentation with human fecal microbiota, which simul… Show more

“…The system makes use of the Italian food composition database (Salvini et al, 1998), which also includes several foods used in macrobiotic recipes. The average consumption of isoflavonoids and lignans by the intervention and the control groups was estimated from available databases on the phytooestrogen content of foods (Polonsky et al, 1986;Mazur & Adlercreutz, 1988;Thompson et al, 1991;Eberhardt et al, 1994;Eidson et al, 1994;Whelan et al, 1994;Dawson et al, 1995;Reinli & Block, 1996;Nesbitt & Thompson, 1997;Wakai et al, 1999) and from the food-frequency diaries, using as standard portion sizes those derived from the interviews.…”

“…Lucerne only contains small quantities of isoflavones (Saloniemi et al, 1995). Lignans are primarily found in cereals, legumes and oilseed used in concentrates (Thompson et al, 1991), and occur in somewhat higher concentrations in white clover compared to red clover (Steinshamn et al, 2008).…”

“…The coumestans are mainly found in lucerne and in small amounts in white clover (Saloniemi et al, 1995). The primary plant lignans are found in cereals, legumes and oilseeds used in concentrates (Thompson et al, 1991). However, there are few studies on the actual content in ruminant feedstuffs.…”
