Metabolism and Absorption of Anthocyanins From Extract and Whole Blueberry Powder Confections in Healthy Adults

Sponsor: Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center

Summary

This trial studies how well a group of compounds found in blueberries called anthocyanins are absorbed into the body from 2 different types of blueberry confections (blueberry extract and whole blueberry powder). Blueberries contain several compounds which may be beneficial for human health and prevention of disease. These compounds can be consumed as part of a complex matrix in the whole fruit or also in a simplified matrix in the form of a fruit extract. Studying the absorption and metabolism of these compounds may help researchers understand how they influence health and disease, as well as determining the role of the food matrix on absorption of berry phytochemical.
