Bioavailability of iron, copper, and zinc was investigated in suckling rats. The essential trace elements were given once either with several isolated Maillard products and with LAL, respectively, or with differently heat-treated formula diets. The isolated substances revealed effects on bioavailability of all the elements tested, either on the preabsorptive or on the postabsorptive level. The formula diets affected only the bioavailability of copper - even when fed for several weeks.
