摘要：Soybean flour was fermented with Aspergillus usamii to improve the availabilities of dietary zinc and iron through the degradation of phytate. Three kinds of experimental diets that differed in protein sources were prepared: one consisting of 40% regular soybean flour (RS diet), one consisting of 40% fermented soybean flour (FS diet), and one consisting of 20% regular soybean flour and 20% fermented soybean flour (RF diet). Zinc solubilities in the upper and the lower segments of the small intestine were higher in rats fed the FS diet than in rats fed the RS diet. The FS group showed higher solubility of iron in the lower small intestine than the RS group did. Zinc concentrations in the femur and plasma and iron concentrations in the liver and plasma were higher in the FS group than in the RS group. These results suggested that the fermentation of soybean flour improved the availabilities of dietary zinc and iron, which may be induced by increasing the solubilities of these minerals in the small intestine through the reduction of phytate content. Femoral and plasma zinc concentrations in the RF group were higher than in the RS group, but lower than in the FS group. No difference was noted in liver and plasma iron concentrations between the RF group and the FS group. Although phytase activity in FS degrades phytate in the RF diet, higher activity may be needed to degrade phytate completely.
