ABSTRACT
Food products enriched with stable isotopes are used in nutrition to study the metabolic fate of nutrients in humans. This study reports on the labeling of green beans, white beans, soybeans and wheat with a stable isotope of magnesium (25Mg) obtained in greenhouse conditions for further studies on magnesium bioavailability. Soybean and green bean are the most efficient plant species to obtain large amounts of edible parts rapidly with a minimum loss of labeled Mg in other parts of the plants. The results obtained showed that a relatively high percentage of the magnesium found in seeds (grains/beans) can come from the redistribution of magnesium previously accumulated in other organs.
