| Description | Journal: International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition The trace element selenium (Se) has been recognized to be essential for human health. The dependence of infants on milk as their principal food source, generally low in Se content, makes them more vulnerable to inadequate Se intake. The present study compared the Se availability as estimated by a simulated gastrointestinal digestion procedure, of human milk and some common ruminant milks, namely cow, goat and sheep milk. The Se availability of human milk (11.1%) was significantly higher compared to that of cow (6.8%), goat (6.2%) and sheep milk (<2%). Further study suggested that the Se availability may be related to the gastric digestibility of protein. The high Se availability of human milk might be attributed to the high gastric digestibility of human milk protein. It was found that removal of the milk fat fraction increases the Se availability. |
