RT Journal Article T1 Study on the chemical behaviour of Bisphenol S during the in vitro gastrointestinal digestion and its bioaccessibility A1 Lestido Cardama, Antía A1 Millán Sánchez, Beatriz A1 Sendón García, Raquel A1 Rodríguez Bernaldo de Quirós, Ana Isabel A1 Barbosa Pereira, Letricia K1 Bisphenol S K1 In vitro gastrointestinal digestion K1 Bioaccessibility K1 Soy drink K1 Food packaging K1 HPLC-PDA-MS/MS AB This study evaluated the chemical behaviour of Bisphenol S (BPS) and determined its bioaccessibility after human ingestion using a standardised in vitro gastrointestinal digestion protocol and an analytical method based on high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled with a photodiode array and tandem mass spectrometry. The effects of different factors such as gastric pH, enzymes, and food matrix on the solubility and chemical stability of BPS were studied to evaluate their contribution to its bioaccessibility. The results highlighted that BPS was available at the end of the digestion process in the range of 50–80%, and was susceptible to absorption at the intestinal level. The effect of pH was not significant as a single factor. The presence of enzymes slightly decreased the bioaccessibility of BPS in the intestinal phase with gastric pH increase. Additionally, a soy drink reduced BPS bioaccessibility by up to 5% after oral intake. Finally, a few BPS degradation products were found in non-bioaccessible fractions at different pH values PB Elsevier YR 2022 FD 2022 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/27331 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/27331 LA eng NO Food Chemistry 367 (2022) 130758 NO This research was funded the “Consellería de Cultura, Educación e Ordenación Universitaria, Xunta de Galicia”, within the project “Consolidación y estructuración de unidades de investigación competitivas—Grupos de referencia competitiva (GRC)” (Ref.
