Bioaccessible Antioxidants in Milk Fermented by Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum Strains

Figure 4

Bioaccessibility of antioxidants (in dialysates) evaluated with oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) during in vitro digestion (TIM-1) of fermented milk (300 g) by B. longum subsp. longum CUEMT 172 (▲), CUETM 268 (■), CUETM 245 (●), CUETM 247 (X), and PRO 16-10 (♦). (a) The cumulative quantity of bioaccessible antioxidants is expressed in μmol Trolox equivalent (TE). (b) The bioaccessibility of antioxidants expressed as a percentage of intake (antioxidants in 300 g of fermented milk before digestion). The error bars represent the standard deviation.
