absorbed and utilized
to the full extent that it
is fed
Steven Blezinger
Define Bioavailability
• That which becomes bioavailable
• The fraction (or percentage) of nutrient
absorbed that is useful to the body
• The degree to which an absorbed nutrient
is available to the system
Nutritional Definition
Bioavailability is a post-
absorption assessment of how
much of a nutrient that has
been absorbed becomes
functional to the system
Food Science Definition
Bioavailability is a assessment
of how much of a nutrient is
retained in the food product
after processing for the
consumer
