  abstract = {{M}icronutrient deficiencies are still a public health issue in least developed countries. {P}romoting diet diversification is a promising strategy. {N}umerous fruits and vegetables {O}re rich in micronutrients, but some of these compounds are poorly bioaccessible. {T}he objective, of this study was to identify the biochemical determinants of the micronutrient bioaccessibility in leaves. {T}he contents in cell walls, pectins, tannins, and proteins of the leafy vegetables were assessed, and correlations with the micronutrient bioaccessibitity were explored. {T}he leafy vegetables have interesting nutritional profiles with noticeable amounts in protein, provitamin {A} (beta-carotene), and alpha-tocopherol for,some species. {T}heir cell wall contents greatly varied from 3.4 to 8.7 g/100 g as well, as their pectin percentages. {O}nly the perilla and drumstick leaves contained condensed tannins. {I}n fresh leaves, the contents in bioaccessible carotenoids were low. {T}he correlation study highlighted that the carotenoid bioaccessibility was negatively correlated to the pectin contents of the leaves.},
