There is limited information on the absorption of selenium from different foods in humans because of technical difficulties associated with isotopic labeling of dietary selenium. Wheat, garlic, and cod fish were intrinsically labeled with Se-77 or Se-82 stable isotopes. Labeled meals were fed in random order to 14 adults, with a minimum washout period of six weeks between each test meal. Apparent absorption was measured as luminal loss using a fecal monitoring technique over an 8-day period. Plasma appearance of the isotope was measured at 7, 24, and 48 hours post-ingestion. Selenium absorption (± SD) was significantly higher (p < 0.001) from wheat (81.0 ± 3.0%) and garlic (78.4 ± 13.7%) than from fish (56.1 ± 4.3%). Lowest plasma concentration was observed after the fish meal at all three time points, with a peak at 24 hours, whereas wheat produced the highest plasma concentration at all three time points and peaked at 7 hours. Selenium absorption from wheat and garlic was higher than from fish, and inter-individual variation was low. Form of selenium and food constituents appear to be key determinants of post-absorptive metabolism.

: The food industry is constantly shifting focus based on prebiotics as health-promoting substrates rather than just food supplements. A prebiotic is ‘‘a selectively fermented ingredient that allows specific changes, both in the composition and/or activity in the gastrointestinal microflora that confers benefits upon host well-being and health.” Prebiotics exert a plethora of health-promoting effects, which has lead to the establishment of multimillion food and pharma industries. The following are the health benefits attributed to prebiotics: mineral absorption, better immune response, increased resistance to bacterial infection, improved lipid metabolism, possible protection against cancer, relief from poor digestion of lactose, and reduction in the risk of diseases such as intestinal disease, non-insulin dependent diabetes, obesity and allergy. Numerous studies in both animals and humans have demonstrated the health benefits of prebiotics.
