The analysis of the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of polyphenols from cauliflower waste was achieved using targeted metabolomics and chemometric approaches. Changes in phenolic profile throughout the in vitro digestion and Caco-2 transport were investigated using LC-MS combined with principal components analysis and orthogonal partial least squares–discriminant analysis, and diffusion of polyphenols through intestinal mucus was monitored using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAPb). Results showed that recovery of polyphenols in the gastric phase was approximately 76–106% whilst losses of up to 70% were observed after the intestinal phase. Kaempferol-3-O-diglucoside and kaempferol-3-O-diglucoside-7-O-glucoside were found to permeate intact through the Caco-2 cells in very small amounts (0.3% recovery). Polyphenols also diffused rapidly through intestinal mucus without altering their biophysical properties. We conclude that targeted metabolomics and FRAPb are rapid and convenient tools to study the recovery of polyphenols during in vitro digestion, mucosal diffusion and Caco-2 transport.
