TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of germination of soybean and sesame seeds on the bioavailability of minerals of complementary foods was investigated using rats, and formulated diets were significantly higher (p<0.05) in protein, fat and moisture content and lower in carbohydrate and crude fibre than in control.
Abstract: The effect of germination of soybean and sesame seeds on the bioavailability of minerals of complementary foods was investigated using rats. Formulations of complementary diets 1 to 4 were produced from sweet potato, soybean and sesame flours at a ratio of 60:30:10, respectively. Formulated diets were significantly higher (p<0.05) in protein, fat and moisture content and lower in carbohydrate and crude fibre than in control. Diet 4 was significantly higher (p<0.05) in minerals (Ca, Zn and Fe) content than in control. The formulated diets were generally low in phytate and oxalate contents, while phytate content was much lower in the diets from germinated flour blends. Anti-nutritional factor (ANF): mineral molar ratio suggested good mineral absorption from the formulated diets. Mineral content of the tissues of rats fed with the formulated diets indicated good absorption within the rats; rats fed with the germinated flour blends had significantly higher (p<0.05) zinc, iron and calcium contents of tissues when compared. Diet 4 consistently received better rating among the samples.
Key words: Complementary food, sweet-potato, germination, anti-nutrient, micronutrient.

TL;DR: The ingestion of potato starch does not increase Ca and Mg absorption and rather accelerates their excretion, inducing the decrease in mineral absorption and retention in growing rats.

TL;DR: In this article, the active ingredient water-soluble polysaccharides (containing from 5 to 50% of uronic acid) obtained from a bean-origin material such as soybeans which can be easily taken with little uncomfortable feeling and achieves a remarkable effect of promoting mineral absorption.
Abstract: To prevent or treat diseases caused by mineral deficiency such as skeleton damages typified by osteoporosis, it is intended to provide a mineral absorption promoter comprising as the active ingredient water-soluble polysaccharides (containing from 5 to 50% of uronic acid) obtained from a bean-origin material such as soybeans which can be easily taken with little uncomfortable feeling and achieves a remarkable effect of promoting mineral absorption.

TL;DR: To improve bone mineralization, VLBW infants(<1500g) have been fed a high-protein/high-mineral formula rather than a standard formula and infants with GAA were greater on E, B, or C than S.
Abstract: To improve bone mineralization, VLBW infants(<1500g) have been fed a high-protein/high-mineral formula (E)(3.0g protein/100Kcal, 950mg/L Ca, 480mg/L P) rather than a standard formula (S)(2.2g protein/100Kcal, 510mg/L Ca, 390mg/L P). Higher urine Ca/urinary creatinine (UCa/UCr) and frequent generalized aminoaciduria (GAA) have been noted. To separate the effects of protein and mineral intake two identical high mineral formulae with lower protein levels (B=2.7g, C=2.2g/100Kcal) were studied. UCa/UCr and %, infants with GAA were greater on E, B, or C than S. On C UCa/UCr and UMg/UCr were increased and serum Ca (SCa) decreased compared to E. Serum albumin was lower on B and C than either E or S although protein content of B and C are ≥ S. PTH, BUN, HCO3 were normal and bone mineral content (BMC) and growth rates (GR) did not differ. A higher protein intake may minimize urinary calcium by increasing mineral accretion or by decreasing mineral absorption. Conversely, increased mineral content may increase protein utilization or decrease protein absorption.
