  Purpose

The hypothesis will be tested that fat can also increase absorption of (non)-nutrients from a salad. Therefore we designed the current study to show an increase in relative absorption (bioavailability) of (non-) nutrients from a mixed salad by adding fat containing dressing.


Condition Intervention
Healthy Subjects
Other: Test product: Salad with a high dosage fat
Other: Control product: Salad with low dosage fat

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Bio-availability Study
Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment
Masking: Single Blind (Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Prevention
Official Title: Assessment of the Relative Increase in Bioavailability of (Non-) Nutrients From a Mixed Salad by Adding Fat Containing Dressing

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Area under the curve (AUC in nmol/l*h) of (non) nutrients [ Time Frame: July 2013 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Area under the curve (AUC in nmol/l*h) of (non) nutrients. The AUCs are constructed from (non-) nutrient levels measured in plasma chylomicrons at the selected time-points. The size of the areas under the curves will be compared between the test and control dressing.
