Study Summary
This study will evaluate the availability of phytonutrients in two blueberry varieties, chosen for their phytonutrient levels. This will be compared to phytonutrient-matched processed protein bar and a macronutrient-matched control meal, in healthy human volunteers. Blueberry phytonutrients will be analyzed in blood and urine over a four-day period, 48h prior to consumption and 48h after. The participants will consume each of the four meals over a 3-month period (4-way crossover design, 4 blocks of 4-day periods). The main objective of this study is to compare the proportions of blueberry phytonutrients recovered in the blood and urine after ingestion of the four treatments. We hypothesize that phytonutrient content will be predictive of human bioavailability and that a berry-enriched processed product will have similar phytonutrient bioavailability to unprocessed berries. The results of this study may establish if the nutritional value of a berry can be predicted or enhanced to provide elevated nutritional quality, with the ultimate goal of maximizing the health benefits of fruit consumption. As it is challenging for many to increase their fruit and vegetable intake to government recommended levels (5+ servings per day), the present proof-of-concept study explores a reasonable approach to help consumers achieve optimal health associated with high fruit and vegetable intakes, within the context of current consumption patterns, through enhancement of the nutritional density and bioavailability of common fruits and consumer products.
Conditions Studied
Interventions
- OTHER a non-traditional (i.e., not typically available in the supermarket) blueberry cultivar bred using natural plant breeding techniques and established as having enhanced nutritive value
- OTHER a standard commercially available blueberry variety (i.e., cultivar)
- OTHER a "minimally processed" blueberry-rich protein bar
- OTHER a control beverage of matched-nutritive content
