So far, data on absorption and metabolism of steryl ferulates from edible sources is scarce. Therefore, the impact of enzyme-aided baking and in vitro digestion was examined in this study. Wheat flours and wheat breads were subjected to a static in vitro digestion model and changes in the contents of stelyl ferulates and free sterols (possible hydrolysis products of steryl ferulates) were monitored. Baking degraded steryl ferulates at a similar rate in all types of breads (43-47%) compared to the corresponding flours, while baking induced changes in free sterols showed no clear pattern. In vitro digestion provoked five folds lower content of steryl ferulates in flours than in breads and it also resulted in significant free sterol accumulation. Interestingly, bioaccessibility (0.01-0.25%) was not influenced by the cereal matrix. The four stelyl ferulate species, which were detected in wheat, showed similar hydrolysis rates during digestion. As baking had a significant impact on the steryl ferulate content of wheat, we suggest that both raw and processed sources should be considered further in vitro, animal or human trials, when studying the metabolic fate of steryl ferulates.
