    Abstract

    In vitro digestion/Caco-2 or pig small intestinal epithelium cell line (PSI) uptake models were used to study the bioaccessibility and cellular uptake of arsenic (As) in cooked white rice and brown rice. The arsenite(AsIII), was the predominant species in cooked rice and in its bioaccessible fractions. The percentage of total As bioaccessibility in white rice (75%) was slightly higher (p=0.061) than that in brown rice(66%). However, there was no difference in the inorganic As (iAs) bioaccessibility between white rice (95%) and brown rice (96%). In Caco-2 cell monolayer, total As retention was 7-31%, transport was 4-25%, and uptake (sum of retention and transport) was 16-38%. In PSI cell model, the retention, transport, and uptake of tAs were 10-28%, 14-31%, and 29-50%, respectively. In both cells, the cellular uptake of tAs in brown rice was 1.4-1.5 folds lower (p<0.05) than that of white rice. These results indicate that the cellular uptake of As can be affected by nutritional compositions. These in vitro screening methods can serve as preliminary screens to predict the relative impact in rice matrix having different As species and processing conditions, although more research efforts should be applied to validating the existing in vitro methods
