Abstract EN
Alkylresorcinols (ARs) were first proposed as potential biomarkers of wholegrain wheat and rye intake a decade ago.
Since then there has been a considerable body of research which suggests that ARs do meet most criteria of a biomarker of these foods.
Results from human studies on plasma AR and their plasma and urinary metabolites strongly indicate that these compounds are responsive to whole grain wheat and rye intake and are correlated with various measures of AR consumption.
This review briefly summarises work on the bioactivities of AR and focuses on aspects related to their use as biomarkers of whole grain wheat and rye intake.
Evidence suggests that they thus far broadly fulfil the criteria to act as biomarkers of these cereals.
However, there are still gaps in the knowledge on factors relating to the wide interindividual variation, and application to different epidemiological cohorts.
Overall, ARs are highly promising biomarkers of whole grain wheat and rye intake and add to our increasing understanding of whole grains and health.
