The aim of this research was to study the sensorial acceptance of a fortified food containing different minerals (calcium, magnesium and iron) and to determine the actual quantities present (bioaccessibility) when extracted in maté. A sensorial analysis was performed to compare sensorial quality of fortified and non-fortified maté. Although panelists identified differences between the fortified and non-fortified maté, only 3% of them commented on an unpleasant flavor. Sequential extraction assays were performed simulating maté consumption under laboratory conditions. Profile concentration diminished sharply after the second extraction. Magnesium was found to be completely extracted in the first 500 mL. Calcium and Iron were extracted in a very low percentage (29% and 25%, respectively). The outlet rate of the minerals was fitted to two models, and a good fitness (p < 0:001) in all cases was obtained.
