Abstract
The trace mineral selenium (Se) is an essential element
for human and animal nutrition. The addition of Se to the
diet through dietary supplements or fortified food/feed is increasingly
common owing to the often sub-optimal content of
standard diets ofmany countries. Se supplements commercially
available include the inorganic mineral salts such as sodium
selenite or selenate, and organic forms such as Se-enriched
yeast. Today, Se yeast is produced by several manufacturers
and has become the most widely used source of Se for human
supplementation and is also widely employed in animal nutrition
where approval in all species has been granted by regulatory
bodies such as the European Food Safety Authority
(EFSA). Characterisation and comparison of Se-enriched
yeast products has traditionally been made by quantifying
total selenomethionine (SeMet) content. A disadvantage of
this approach, however, is that it does not consider the effects
of Se deposition on subsequent digestive availability. In this
study, an assessment wasmade of the water-soluble extracts of
commercially available Se-enriched yeast samples for free,
peptide-bound and total water-soluble SeMet. Using LCMS/
MS, a total of 62 Se-containing proteins were identified
across four Se yeast products, displaying quantitative/
qualitative changes in abundance relative to the certified reference
material, SELM-1 (P value <0.05; fold change ≥2).
Overall, the study indicates that significant differences exist
between Se yeast products in terms of SeMet content, Secontaining protein abundance and associated metabolic
pathways.
