About this study

The study was designed as a randomized 2-way cross-over study to assess the bioavailability of carotenoids and flavonoids from sweet oranges and orange juice. Volunteers followed a wash-out period for 2 weeks prior to eating either 400 g of fresh oranges or 719 g of orange juice. The amount of test food was adjusted to deliver an equal amount of β-cryptoxanthin (740 µg). After a consecutive wash-out period of 2 weeks, the procedure was repeated and the volunteers ingested the complementary test food. Blood samples were collected at 8 time points up to 9.5 h after test meal consumption. Additionally, 24 h-urine was collected to evaluate flavonoid recovery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean AUC (nmol/L*9.5 h) of beta-cryptoxanthin concentration in blood plasma chylomicrons after ingestion of fresh oranges and orange juice, respectively.

    Measured: 0 - 9.5 h after each intervention

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean AUC of hesperidin- and narirutin-metabolite concentration in blood plasma after ingestion of fresh oranges and orange juice, respectively.

    Measured: 0 - 9.5 h after each intervention

  2. Mean hesperetin and naringenin concentration (µmol/L) in 24 h-urine after ingestion of fresh oranges and orange juice, respectively.

    Measured: 0 - 24 h after each intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fresh orange fruit and pasteurized fruit juice in people with Healthy, run by University of Hohenheim at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean AUC (nmol/L*9.5 h) of beta-cryptoxanthin concentration in blood plasma chylomicrons after ingestion of fresh oranges and orange juice, respectively. (time frame: 0 - 9.5 h after each intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02380144, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Nov 2016.
