This volume investigates the complex interplay between chemical and biological factors influencing nutrient availability in food. It presents the proceedings of Bioavailability 88, a conference held in Norwich, England, in August 1988. The collection explores how the form and matrix of nutrients affect their absorption and utilization by the body. The discussions highlight the importance of understanding these interactions for optimizing dietary intake and health.

The Authority Perspective This collection of papers from Bioavailability 88 offers a detailed examination of nutrient availability, reflecting the scientific discourse of the late 1980s. The proceedings likely provide a comprehensive overview of the chemical and biological factors influencing how nutrients are absorbed and utilized. As a conference compilation, it serves as a valuable record of research and discussion within the field of nutritional science at that time.
