Assessment of protein and phospholipid bioaccessibility in ultrafiltered buttermilk cheese using TIM-1 in vitro gastrointestinal methods. Food Res Int 2024; 190:114606. [PMID: 38945574 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
To meet the high consumer demand, butter production has increased over the last few years. As a result, the buttermilk (BM) co-produced volumes require new ways of adding value, such as in cheese manufacturing. However, BM use in cheese milk negatively influences the cheesemaking process (e.g., altered coagulation properties) and the product's final quality (e.g., high moisture content). The concentration of BM by ultrafiltration (UF) could potentially facilitate its use in cheese manufacturing through an increased protein content while maintaining the milk salt balance. Simultaneously, little is known about the digestion of UF BM cheese. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize the impact of UF BM on cheese manufacture, its structure, and its behavior during in vitro digestion. A 2-fold UF concentrated BM was used for cheese manufacture (skim milk [SM] - control). Compositional, textural, and microstructural analyses of cheeses were first conducted. In a second step, the cheeses were fed into an in vitro TNO gastrointestinal digestion model (TIM-1) of the stomach and small intestine and protein and phospholipid (PL) bioaccessibility was studied. The results showed that UF BM cheese significantly differed from SM cheese regarding its composition, hardness (p < 0.05) and microstructure. However, in TIM-1, UF BM and SM cheeses showed similar digestion behavior as a percentage of protein and PL intake. Despite relatively more non-digested and non-absorbed PL in the ileum efflux of UF BM cheese, the initially higher PL concentration contributes to an enhanced nutritional value compared to SM cheese. To our knowledge, this study is the first to compare the bioaccessibility of proteins and PL from UF BM and SM cheeses.

Abstract
Food digestion is important for human health. Advances have been made using in vitro models to study food digestion, but there is considerable potential for numerical approaches in stomach modeling, as they can provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex flow and chemistry in the stomach. The focus of this study is to provide a concise review of the developed numerical stomach models over the past two decades. The gastric physiological parameters that are required for a computational model to represent the human gastric digestion process are discussed, including the stomach geometry, gastric motility, gastric emptying, and gastric secretions. Computational methods used to model gastric digestion are introduced and compared, including different computational fluid dynamics as well as solid mechanics methods. The challenges and limitations of current studies are discussed, as well as the areas for future research that need to be addressed. There has been progress in simulating gastric fluid flow with stomach wall motion, but much work remains to be done. The complex food breakdown mechanisms and a comprehensive chemical digestion process have not been implemented in any developed models. Numerical method that was once computationally expensive will be revolutionized as computing power continues to improve. Ultimately, the advancement of modeling of gastric food digestion will allow for additional hypothesis testing to streamline the development of food products that are beneficial to human health.

Abstract
In the present study, the nutritional and sensory properties of spelt cookies without wild garlic, cookies with fresh wild garlic, cookies with osmodehydrated wild garlic in sugar beet molasses, and cookies with osmodehydrated wild garlic in an aqueous solution of sucrose and salt were evaluated and compared. The tested cookie samples were characterized in terms of total antioxidative activity, the total content of phenols, flavonoids, and thiosulfates, the presence of dominant phenols, the content of betaine and dietary fiber, antioxidant activity after in vitro digestion, and sensory attributes for appearance, taste, smell, and texture. The results proved that the addition of wild garlic leaves osmodehydrated in molasses provided the cookies with the best nutritional and bioactive properties: 1.75 times higher total phenols content, 2.4 times higher total flavonoids content, 1.52 times higher total thiosulfates content, and 1.56 times higher betaine content, and a total quality increase of 54% compared to the control cookies. The cookies enriched with osmodehydrated wild garlic in molasses were rated as pleasant and acceptable, but also more complex compared to other cookies. The production of this nutritionally and sensory-improved cookie would contribute to expanding the assortment of flour confectionery products, especially for consumers who care about health and nutrition.

Abstract
Food industry is increasingly using functional ingredients to improve the food product quality. Lipid-containing functional ingredients are important sources of nutrients. This review examines the current state of emulsification and stabilisation technologies for incorporating lipophilic functional ingredients into food systems. Lipophilic functional ingredients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, carotenoids, and fat-soluble vitamins, offer numerous health benefits but present challenges due to their limited solubility in water-based food matrices. Emulsification techniques enable the dispersion of these ingredients in aqueous environments, facilitating their inclusion in a variety of food products. This review highlights recent advances in food emulsion formulation, emulsification methods and stabilisation techniques which, together, improve the stability and bioavailability of lipophilic compounds. The role of various emulsifiers, stabilizers, and encapsulation materials in enhancing the functionality of these ingredients is also explored. Furthermore, the review discusses different stabilisation techniques which can yield in emulsion in a solid or liquid state. By providing a comprehensive overview of current technologies, this review aims to guide future research and application in the development of functional foods enriched with lipophilic ingredients.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms involved in food breakdown in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is essential in food digestion research. Research to study food digestion in the human GI tract requires in vivo and in vitro approaches. In vivo methods involving human or animal subjects are often cost-prohibitive and raise ethical concerns. For these reasons, in vitro approaches are becoming more common. Several dynamic in vitro models that mimic one or more components of the GI tract have been developed at various research institutions and by commercial companies. While there is evidence of considerable novelty and innovation in the design of these models, there are many differences among them in how the mechanical breakdown of solid foods is accomplished. In some systems, modulating water pressure is used to achieve peristaltic contractions of the gastric antrum, whereas, in other models, the flexible walls of a gastric chamber are compressed by the movement of rollers or clamps outside the walls of the test chamber. Although much progress has been made in standardizing the biochemical environment appropriate to the food digestion process, there is a lack of standard protocols to measure mechanical forces that result in the breakdown of solid foods. Similarly, no standardized methods are available to evaluate the results obtained from in vitro trials for validation purposes. Due to the large variability in the design features of in vitro models used for food digestion studies, developing consensus-based standards for the mechanical aspects of food breakdown is needed.

Abstract
Encapsulation technologies have achieved encouraging results improving the stability, bioaccessibility and absorption of bioactive compounds post-consumption. There is a bulk of published research on the gastrointestinal behavior of encapsulated bioactive food materials alone using in vitro and in vivo digestion models, but an aspect often overlooked is the impact of the food structure, which is much more complex to unravel and still not well understood. This review focuses on discussing the recent findings in the application of encapsulated bioactive components in fabricated food matrices. Studies have suggested that the integration of encapsulated bioactive compounds has been proven to have an impact on the physicochemical characteristics of the finished product in addition to the protective effect of encapsulation on the fortified bioactive compound. These products containing bioactive compounds undergo further structural reorganization during digestion, impacting the release and emptying rates of fortified bioactive compounds. Thus, by manipulation of various food structures and matrices, the release and delivery of these bioactive compounds can be altered. This knowledge provides new opportunities for designing specialized foods for specific populations.

Abstract
Considering the increase in the production and use of nanomaterials (NM) in food/feed and food contact materials, novel strategies for efficient and sustainable hazard characterization, especially in the early stages of NM development, have been proposed. Some of these strategies encompass the utilization of in vitro simulated digestion prior to cytotoxic and genotoxic assessment. This entails exposing NM to fluids that replicate the three successive phases of digestion: oral, gastric, and intestinal. Subsequently, the resulting digestion products are added to models of intestinal cells to conduct toxicological assays, analyzing multiple endpoints. Nonetheless, exposure of intestinal cells to the digested products may induce cytotoxicity effects, thereby posing a challenge to this strategy. The aim of this work was to describe the challenges encountered with the in vitro digestion INFOGEST 2.0 protocol when using the digestion product in toxicological studies of NM, and the adjustments implemented to enable its use in subsequent in vitro biological assays with intestinal cell models. The adaptation of the digestion fluids, in particular the reduction of the final bile concentration, resulted in a reduced toxic impact of digestion products.

Abstract
Research on the physicochemical properties of rice-derived endo-sperm high resistant starch (RS) with low amylose content (AC) is limited. In this study, we evaluated the physicochemical characteristics of such a starch variety and revealed that the starch granules exhibit a smoother, more refined surface with distinct edges, increased compactness, higher order of surface, and fewer cavities compared to those of a low RS rice variety. The starch crystal was classified as an A-type, which may be connected to the high amylose-lipid complex content. The branched internal long chains (B2 + B3) were abundant, allowing for easy entanglement with other molecular chains and a compact structure. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed the need for high temperature and energy to disrupt the double helix structure within the crystallization region of starch. Furthermore, starch viscosity analysis revealed a high cold paste viscosity, consistency, and setback value, with recrystallization yielding a stable structure, increased viscosity, and enhanced hydrolysis resistance to enzymes.

Abstract
Reliable in-vitro digestion models that are able to successfully replicate the conditions found in the human gastrointestinal tract are key to assess the fate and efficiency of new formulations aimed for oral consumption. However, current in-vitro models either lack the capability to replicate crucial dynamics of digestion or require large volumes of sample/reagents, which can be scarce when working with nanomaterials under development. Here, we propose a miniaturised digestion system, a digestion-chip, based on incubation chambers integrated on a polymethylmethacrylate device. The digestion-chip incorporates key dynamic features of human digestion, such as gradual acidification and gradual addition of enzymes and simulated fluids in the gastric phase, and controlled gastric emptying, while maintaining low complexity and using small volumes of sample and reagents. In addition, the new approach integrates real-time automated closed-loop control of two key parameters, pH and temperature, during the two main phases of digestion (gastric and intestinal) with an accuracy down to ± 0.1 °C and ± 0.2 pH points. The experimental results demonstrate that the digestion-chip successfully replicates the gold standard static digestion INFOGEST protocol and that the semi-dynamic digestion kinetics can be reliably fitted to a first kinetic order model. These devices can be easily adapted to dynamic features in an automated, sensorised, and inexpensive platform and will enable reliable, low-cost and efficient assessment of the bioaccessibility of new and expensive drugs, bioactive ingredients or nanoengineered materials aimed for oral consumption, thereby avoiding unnecessary animal testing.

Abstract
Digestive enzymes secreted by the body are vital for digestion and nutrient absorption. Enzyme supplements are commonly used to support them in achieving optimal digestion. Herein, the efficacy of digestive enzyme supplement (DigeSEB Super) in digestion of complex food was assessed using INFOGEST simulated static and modified semi-dynamic in vitro digestion models. Digestive enzyme supplement was found to assist the endogenous digestive enzymes to disintegrate the food matrix. Hence, it reduced the viscosity of the gastric digesta by 2.75 fold (p = 0.04) compared to the control digestion (only endogenous digestive enzymes) during the first hour of digestion. Similarly, enzyme supplement showed statistically higher release of reducing sugars in the gastric digestion (p ≤ 0.05) indicating improved digestion of carbohydrates. Further, digestion of proteins and fats was also improved in the presence of enzyme supplement. The kinetic aspects of the semi-dynamic model (transient nature of gastric secretions and gradual acidification) was found to alter the macronutrient digestion compared to the static digestion. Thus, semi-dynamic model should be preferred for the in vitro studies. Overall, current study demonstrated the potential of a digestive enzyme supplement to improve digestion by aiding digestive action of the endogenous enzymes.

Abstract
Adequate intake of live probiotics is beneficial to human health and wellbeing because they can help treat or prevent a variety of health conditions. However, the viability of probiotics is reduced by the harsh environments they experience during passage through the human gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Consequently, the oral delivery of viable probiotics is a significant challenge. Probiotic encapsulation provides a potential solution to this problem. However, the production methods used to create conventional encapsulation technologies often damage probiotics. Moreover, the delivery systems produced often do not have the required physicochemical attributes or robustness for food applications. Single-cell encapsulation is based on forming a protective coating around a single probiotic cell. These coatings may be biofilms or biopolymer layers designed to protect the probiotic from the harsh gastrointestinal environment, enhance their colonization, and introduce additional beneficial functions.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:3498-3506. [PMID: 38145927 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13235] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluates the effect of mechanical properties on the in vitro dynamic gastrointestinal digestion of hydrogels containing starch (HCSs) as a model for studying the nutrient digestibility of solid foods. It provides a useful theoretical basis for the processing of specific foods. RESULT Four types of HCSs with two levels of fracture stress (17.4-20.9 kPa and 55.5-57.6 kPa) and two levels of fracture strain (25.4-28.5% and 53.7-57.4%) were prepared. For these HCSs, the degree of gastric disintegration of hydrogels reduced significantly when fracture strain exceeded 30% (P < 0.05). The gastric emptying of HCS particles was also affected by mechanical properties. For example, even at the same level of fracture stress (ca. 20 kPa), the dry solids retention ratio decreased markedly from 0.90 to 0.43 with a decrease in fracture strain from 53.7% to 25.4% (P < 0.05). For the starch hydrolysis of HCSs after gastric digestion, more than 70% of starch in the particles of all types of HCSs emptied did not undergo digestion. The starch hydrolysis of HCSs during small intestinal digestion was also influenced by their mechanical properties. Fracture strains of HCSs, rather than their fracture stress, affected starch digestibility in hydrogels. CONCLUSION The gastric disintegration, the gastric emptying, and the starch hydrolysis of HCSs are suppressed when fracture strain exceeded 30%. Even with the amount of nutritional components contained in hydrogels being the same, the in vitro gastrointestinal digestion behavior of HCSs depends on their mechanical properties. This behavior has the potential to be used in the design of processed foods with controlled bioaccessibility. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Simulated human gastrointestinal (GI) tract systems are important for their applications in the fields of probiotics, nutrition and health. To date, various in vitro gut systems have been available to study GI tract dynamics and its association with health. In contrast to in vivo investigations, which are constrained by ethical considerations, in vitro models have several benefits despite the challenges involved in mimicking the GI environment. These in vitro models can be used for a range of research, from simple to dynamic, with one compartment to several compartments. In this review, we present a panoramic development of in vitro GI models for the first time through an evolutionary timeline. We tried to provide insight on designing an in vitro gut model, especially for novices. Latest developments and scope for improvement based on the limitations of the existing models were highlighted. In conclusion, designing an in vitro GI model suitable for a particular application is a multifaceted task. The bio-mimicking of the GI tract specific to geometrical, anatomical and mechanical features remains a challenge for the development of effective in vitro GI models. Advances in computer technology, artificial intelligence and nanotechnology are going to be revolutionary for further development. Besides this, in silico high-throughput technologies and miniaturisation are key players in the success of making in vitro modelling cost-effective and reducing the burden of in vivo studies.

Abstract
The objective in this work was the evaluation of the stability and content of bioactive compounds (total phenols and total flavonoids) and antioxidant activity of emulsions of ethanolic extracts of propolis obtained by ultrasound, during simulated in vitro digestion. The emulsions prepared with propolis extracts were evaluated on certain properties: their emulsion efficiency, stability (zeta potential, particle size, electrical conductivity), content of bioactive compound (total phenolics and total flavonoids), antioxidant activity and their behavior during simulated in vitro digestion. Based on the total phenol content, an emulsification efficiency of 87.8 ± 1.9% to 97.8 ± 3.8% was obtained. The particle size of the emulsions was 322.5 ± 15.33 nm to 463.9 ± 33.65 nm, with a zeta potential of -31.5 ± 0.66 mV to -28.2 ± 1.0 mV and electrical conductivity of 22.7 ± 1.96 µS/cm to 30.6 ± 0.91 µS/cm. These results indicate good emulsion stability. During simulated in vitro digestion, the content of bioactive compounds (total phenolics, total flavonoids) and antioxidant activity were affected during 77 days of storage at 4 °C. It was concluded that the emulsion process fulfills the function of protecting the bioactive compounds and therefore their biological activity.

Abstract
Cassava protein (CP), barley protein (BP) and yellow pea protein (YPP) are important nutrient and integral constituent of staple in pet foods. It is known that the digestion of proteins directly influences their absorption and utilisation. In the present work, we performed in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion of three plant proteins as a staple for dog and cat food. The digestion rate of CP, BP and YPP in dog food was 56.33 ± 0.90%, 48.53 ± 0.91%, and 66.96 ± 0.37%, respectively, whereas the digestion rate of CP, BP, and YPP in cat food was 66.25 ± 0.72%, 43.42 ± 0.83%, and 58.05 ± 0.85%, respectively. Using SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to determine the molecular weight (MW) of each protein and the products of their digestion, it was revealed that MW of digestion samples decreased, and MW during the small intestine phase was lower than that during the gastric phase. Peptide sequences of digested products were identified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and it was found that the total number of peptides in the small intestine digestion samples was higher than that in the gastric phase samples. The MW of peptides obtained from CP was within the range of 1000-1500 Da, while MW of peptides derived from BP and YPP was within the range of 400-2000 Da. In addition, free amino acids were mainly produced in the small intestine phase. Furthermore, the percentage of essential amino acids in the small intestine phase (63 ~ 82%) was higher than that in the gastric phase (37 ~ 63%). Taken together, these findings contribute to the current understanding of the utilisation of plant proteins in dog and cat foods and provide important insights into the selection and application of plant proteins as a staple in dog and cat foods.

Abstract
Recent studies have linked phenolic compounds to the inhibition of digestive enzymes. Propolis extract is consumed or applied as a traditional treatment for some diseases. More than 500 chemical compounds have been identified in propolis composition worldwide. This research aimed to determine Mexican propolis extracts' total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, antioxidant activity, and digestive enzyme inhibitory activity (ɑ-amylase and ɑ-glucosidase). In vitro assays measured the possible effect on bioactive compounds after digestion. Four samples of propolis from different regions of the state of Oaxaca (Mexico) were tested (Eloxochitlán (PE), Teotitlán (PT), San Pedro (PSP), and San Jerónimo (PSJ)). Ethanol extractions were performed using ultrasound. The extract with the highest phenolic content was PE with 15,362.4 ± 225 mg GAE/100 g. Regarding the flavonoid content, the highest amount was found in PT with 8084.6 ± 19 mg QE/100 g. ABTS•+ and DPPH• radicals were evaluated. The extract with the best inhibition concentration was PE with 33,307.1 ± 567 mg ET/100 g. After simulated digestion, phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity decreased by 96%. In contrast, antidiabetic activity, quantified as inhibition of ɑ-amylase and ɑ-glucosidase, showed a mean decrease in enzyme activity of approximately 50% after the intestinal phase. Therefore, it is concluded that propolis extracts could be a natural alternative for treating diabetes, and it would be necessary to develop a protective mechanism to incorporate them into foods.

Abstract
Collagen, the most abundant and widely distributed functional protein in mammals, typically assembles into collagen fibrils through side-by-side packing. The purpose of this study was to comparatively investigate the fate of sea cucumber collagen fibrils in the gastrointestinal tract when interacting with different anionic polysaccharides (fucoidan (FUC), Kappa-carrageenan (K-car), sodium alginate (SA)). Results revealed that the gel properties and viscosity values of collagen fibrils were notably enhanced, and the rate of structural alteration in collagen fibrils was reduced when K-car and SA were introduced. Conversely, in the presence of FUC, collagen fibril viscosity decreased, and the secondary structure of collagen fibrils underwent changes. FUC was found to diminish the structural stability of collagen fibrils and accelerate the gastric digestion rate, which was further exacerbated by thermal treatment. All these anionic polysaccharides were observed to facilitate the formation of collagen peptide aggregates by binding to polysaccharides during intestinal digestion. This study bridged the knowledge gap regarding the impact of anionic polysaccharides on the gastrointestinal digestion of collagen fibrils, potentially paving the way for broader applications of collagen in the food industry.

Abstract
In a health-conscious age, vivid discussion has been made on the healthfulness of processed foods and food additives. This study focuses on carrageenan (CGN), an approved but debated family of sulphated galactans from algae used as gelling, thickening and stabilizing agents but with indications of possible adverse effects, including as an inhibitor of digestive proteolysis. To challenge this inhibitory hypothesis, food-grade kappa-, iota and lambda-CGN preparations were used to produce beef meatballs whose proteolysis was studied using an in vitro digestion model coupled to various proteomic analyses. Results show that CGN anti-nutritional effects are abolished in beef meatballs. Specifically, proteomic analysis of gastric digesta of myosin light chain 1 (MYL1), alpha skeletal muscle (ACTA1), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and fructose-bisphosphate aldolase (ALDOA) reveal no appreciable differences in the profiles of bioaccessible peptides. Separate digestions of a soluble collagen hydrolysate show CGN does inhibit proteolysis of soluble collagen, therefore supporting the notion that the meat matrix confers a shielding effect that eliminates CGN ability to interfere with digestive proteolysis. Thus, this work shows that CGN ability to hinder digestive proteolysis may not apply to all foods and contributes evidence important to the discussions on CGN uses, indications and regulatory status.

Abstract
This study presents results based on differences in the antioxidant activity and lactic acid bacteria counts in different parts of the digestive tract following simulated gastrointestinal digestion of kefir samples. Statistically significant differences were observed in Lactobacillus counts in different kefir types including industrial (IK), starter culture (SCK), and kefir grains (KG). These differences were observed between the initial and second min in the mouth region (T = 3.968; p < 0.05); and between the initial, 60th, and 120th min in the stomach region (R = 11.146; p < 0.05). Additionally, a statistically significant difference was noted in the initial Lactobacillus levels among the IK, SCK, and KG in the stomach region (H = 7.205; p < 0.05). Also, significant differences were identified between the Lactococcus counts of IK across 0, 60, and 120 min in the stomach region (R = 10.236; p < 0.05). Notably, a statistically significant difference was noted in the Lactococcus levels in the KG between the initial and second min in the mouth region (T = 3.101; p < 0.05) and between 0, 60, and 120 min in the stomach region (R = 25.771; p < 0.001). These findings highlight the differences between the physicochemical characteristics of different kefir types. A decrease in lactic acid bacteria counts in kefir samples was observed throughout the dynamic in vitro gastrointestinal tract to reveal the significance of the digestive process when determining probiotic product capacity.

Abstract
Dietary fiber (DF) and polyphenols (DP) are typical blood sugar-lowering components, and both play distinct yet interconnected roles in exerting their blood sugar-lowering effects. We comprehensively summarized the single and combined effects of DF and DP on blood glucose homeostasis through regulating the relevant factors in the upper gastrointestinal tract (UGT) and lower gastrointestinal tract (LGT). In the UGT, DF slowed down glucose metabolism by enhancing digesta viscosity and hindering enzyme-substrate interaction. DP primarily targeted enzymes and substrates. When combined, DP enhanced the adsorption capacity of DF for glucose. DF weakened DP's inhibitory effect on enzymes. Both DF and DP disrupted glucose intestinal uptake via physical or genomic modulation, but the co-consumption of DF and DP demonstrated a lower inhibitory effect on glucose uptake than DP alone. In the LGT, DF and DP showed synergistic or antagonistic effects on gut microbiota. Remarkably, whole foods exhibited potent prebiotic effects due to their compound-rich matrix, potentially enhancing glucose homeostasis and expanding dietary options for glucose regulation research.

Abstract
With the widespread use of nanoenabled agrochemicals, it is essential to evaluate the food safety of nanomaterials (NMs)-treated vegetable crops in full life cycle studies as well as their potential impacts on human health. Tomato seedlings were foliarly sprayed with 50 mg/L ZnO NMs, including ZnO quantum dots (QDs) and ZnO nanoparticles once per week over 11 weeks. The foliar sprayed ZnO QDs increased fruit dry weight and yield per plant by 39.1% and 24.9, respectively. It also significantly increased the lycopene, amino acids, Zn, B, and Fe in tomato fruits by 40.5%, 15.1%, 44.5%, 76.2%, and 12.8%, respectively. The tomato fruit metabolome of tomatoes showed that ZnO NMs upregulated the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids and sphingolipid metabolism and elevated the levels of linoleic and arachidonic acids. The ZnO NMs-treated tomato fruits were then digested in a human gastrointestinal tract model. The results of essential mineral release suggested that the ZnO QDs treatment increased the bioaccessibility of K, Zn, and Cu by 14.8-35.1% relative to the control. Additionally, both types of ZnO NMs had no negative impact on the α-amylase, pepsin, and trypsin activities. The digested fruit metabolome in the intestinal fluid demonstrated that ZnO NMs did not interfere with the normal process of human digestion. Importantly, ZnO NMs treatments increased the glycerophospholipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, and peptides in the intestinal fluids of tomato fruits. This study suggests that nanoscale Zn can be potentially used to increase the nutritional value of vegetable crops and can be an important tool to sustainably increase food quality and security.

Recent Trends in Valorization of Food Industry Waste and By-Products: Encapsulation and In Vitro Release of Bioactive Compounds. Foods 2023; 12:3823. [PMID: 37893717 PMCID: PMC10606574 DOI: 10.3390/foods12203823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Food by-products and waste are a boundless source of bioactives, nutraceuticals, and naturally occurring substances that are good for human health. In fact, a lot of by-products and wastes are generated by several food businesses. Therefore, waste management and by-product utilization are the most important aspects of the food sector. According to various studies, many bioactive compounds such as phenolics, carotenoids, and proteins can be recovered as feed stock from various industries' by-products and wastes using potential technologies. As a result, current trends are shifting attention to the sustainable valorisation of food sector waste management and by-products utilization. Thus, the circular economy principles have been applied to the field of food science. The aim of the circular economy is to ensure environmental protection and promote economic development while minimizing the environmental impact of food production. All of these aspects of the circular economy, at present, have become a challenging area of research for by-product valorisation as well. Hence, this review aims to highlight the emerging trends in the efficient utilization of food industry waste and by-products by focusing on innovative encapsulation techniques and controlled release mechanisms of bioactive compounds extracted from food industry waste and by-products. This review also aims to suggest future research directions, and addresses regulatory and toxicity considerations, by fostering knowledge dissemination and encouraging eco-friendly approaches within the food industry. This review reveals the role of encapsulation strategies for the effective utilization of bioactive compounds extracted from food industry waste and by-products. However, further research is needed to address regulatory and toxicity considerations of encapsulated bioactive compounds and health-related concerns.

Abstract
This review highlights the importance of controlling the digestion process of orally administered lipid-based delivery systems (LBDS) and their performance. Oral LBDS are prone to digestion via pancreatic lipase in the small intestine. Rapid or uncontrolled digestion may cause the loss of delivery system integrity, its structural changes, reduced solubilization capacity and physical stability issues. All these events can lead to uncontrolled drug release from the digested LBDS into the gastrointestinal environment, exposing the incorporated drug to precipitation or degradation by luminal proteases. To prevent this, the digestion rate of orally administered LBDS can be estimated by appropriate choice of the formulation type, excipient combinations and their ratios. In addition, in vitro digestion models like pH-stat are useful tools to evaluate the formulation digestion rate. Controlling digestion can be achieved by conventional lipase inhibitors like orlistat, sterically hindering of lipase adsorption on the delivery system surface with polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains, lipase desorption or saturation of the interface with surfactants as well as formulating LBDS with ester-free excipients. Recent in vivo studies demonstrated that digestion inhibition lead to altered pharmacokinetic profiles, where Cmax and Tmax were reduced in spite of same AUC compared to control or even improved oral bioavailability.

Abstract
Fruits and their derivatives are sources of phenolic compounds, which contribute to the maintenance of health benefits. In order to exert such properties, these compounds must be exposed to gastrointestinal conditions during digestion. In vitro methods of gastrointestinal digestion have been developed to simulate and evaluate the changes that compounds undergo after being exposed to various conditions. We present, in this review, the major in vitro methods for evaluating the effects of gastrointestinal digestion of phenolic compounds in fruits and their derivatives. We discuss the concept of bioaccessibility, bioactivity, and bioavailability, as well as the conceptual differences and calculations among studies. Finally, the main changes caused by in vitro gastrointestinal digestion in phenolic compounds are also discussed. The significant variation of parameters and concepts observed hinders a better evaluation of the real effects on the antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds, thus, the use of standardized methods in research would contribute for a better understanding of these changes.

Abstract
The effects of different heating temperatures (40-115 °C) on the structure, oxidation, and digestibility of beef myofibrillar protein were investigated. Reductions in the number of sulfhydryl groups were observed, together with gradual increases in the number of carbonyl groups, indicating oxidation of the protein by the increased temperatures. At temperatures between 40 °C and 85 °C, β-sheets were converted to α-helices, and increased surface hydrophobicity showed that the protein expanded as the temperature approached 85 °C. These changes were reversed at temperatures over 85 °C, indicative of aggregation induced by thermal oxidation. Between 40 °C and 85 °C, the digestibility of the myofibrillar protein was increased, reaching a maximum of 59.5 % at 85 °C, after which it began to decrease. These results indicated that moderate heating and oxidation-induced protein expansion were beneficial to digestion while protein aggregation resulting from excessive heating is not conducive to digestion.

Abstract
In recent years, small and ultra-small angle scattering techniques, collectively known as small angle scattering (SAS) have been used to study various food structures during the digestion process. These techniques play an important role in structural characterisation due to the non-destructive nature (especially when using neutrons), various in situ capabilities and a large length scale (of 1 nm to ∼20 μm) they cover. The application of these techniques in the structural characterisation of dairy products has expanded significantly in recent years. Casein, a major dairy protein, forms the basis of a wide range of gel structures at different length scales. These gel structures have been extensively researched utilising scattering techniques to obtain structural information at the nano and micron scale that complements electron and confocal microscopy. Especially, neutrons have provided opportunity to study these gels in their natural environment by using various in situ options. One such example is understanding changes in casein gel structures during digestion in the gastrointestinal tract, which is essential for designing personalised food structures for a wide range of food-related diseases and improve health outcomes. In this review, we present an overview of casein gels investigated using small angle and ultra-small angle scattering techniques. We also reviewed their digestion using newly built setups recently employed in various research. To gain a greater understanding of micro and nano-scale structural changes during digestion, such as the effect of digestive juices and mechanical breakdown on structure, new setups for semi-solid food materials are needed to be optimised.

Abstract
Instant rice is increasingly popular around the world due to its convenience, but it commonly has a high glycemic index, and a frequent consumption might contribute to the occurrence of many chronic diseases. In this review, the main factors determining starch digestibility of instant rice were comprehensively evaluated, aiming to help the rice industry develop instant rice with slow starch digestibility. Starch digestibility in instant rice can be reduced by manipulating its intrinsic and extrinsic nutrients. Processing conditions, including pre-gelatinization, storage, and reheating are also important for the starch digestibility of instant rice. Individual differences in terms of glycemic response to the same carbohydrate-based diet should be considered when knowledge is transformed from in vitro method to human conditions. This review contains important information that has the potential to reduce the starch digestibility of instant rice and improve public health.

Abstract
The beneficial health effect of red wine depends on its phenolic content and the phenolic content in red wines is affected by ecological, agricultural, and enological practices. Enriched wines have been proposed as an alternative to increase the phenolic content in wines. Nevertheless, phenolic compounds are related to the sensory characteristics of red wines, so enrichment of red wines requires a balance between phenolic content and sensory characteristics. In the present study, a Merlot red wine was enriched with a phenolic extract obtained from Cabernet Sauvignon grape pomace. Two levels of enrichment were evaluated: 4 and 8 g/L of total phenolic content (gallic acid equivalents, GAE). Wines were evaluated by a trained panel to determine their sensory profile (olfactive, visual, taste, and mouthfeel phases). The bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds from enriched red wines was evaluated using an in vitro digestive model and phenolic compounds were quantified by High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Enrichment increased mainly flavonols and procyanidins. Such an increase impacted astringency and sweetness perceived by judges. This study proposes an alternative to increase the phenolic content in wines without modifying other main sensory characteristics and offers a potential beneficial effect on the health of consumers.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs), plastic particles of 1 nm to <5 mm, have been identified in the atmosphere, soil, and aquatic environments across the globe. MPs may act as vectors to transport environmental contaminants to sensitive receptors, including humans. In this review, the capability of MPs to sorb persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and metals is investigated, along with how sorption is affected by factors, such as pH, salinity, and temperature. Sensitive receptors may take up MPs through incidental ingestion. In the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), contaminants may desorb from MPs, and this desorbed portion is then considered bioaccessible. Understanding the sorption and bioaccessibility of such contaminants is important in determining potential risks of exposure to MPs. Thus, a review is presented on the bioaccessibility of contaminants sorbed to MPs in the human and avian GIT s. The current state of knowledge on MP-contaminant interactions in freshwater systems is limited; these interactions can differ considerably from those in marine environments. The bioaccessibility of contaminants sorbed to MPs can vary significantly, from near zero to 100%, depending on MP type, contaminant characteristics, and the digestive phase. Further research is needed to characterize the bioaccessibility and the potential risks, especially for POPs associated with MPs.

Abstract
Introduction The spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a threat against human and animal health. Third and fourth generation cephalosporins have been defined as critically important antimicrobials by The World Health Organization. Exposure to Extended spectrum cephalosporin-resistant E. coli may result in consumers becoming carriers if these bacteria colonize the human gut or their resistance genes spread to other bacteria in the gut microbiota. In the case that these resistant bacteria at later occasions cause disease, their resistance characteristics may lead to failure of treatment and increased mortality. We hypothesized that ESC-resistant E. coli from poultry can survive digestion and thereby cause infections and/or spread their respective resistance traits within the gastro-intestinal tract. Methods In this study, a selection of 31 ESC-resistant E. coli isolates from retail chicken meat was exposed to a static in vitro digestion model (INFOGEST). Their survival, alteration of colonizing characteristics in addition to conjugational abilities were investigated before and after digestion. Whole genome data from all isolates were screened through a custom-made virulence database of over 1100 genes for virulence- and colonizing factors. Results and discussion All isolates were able to survive digestion. Most of the isolates (24/31) were able to transfer their bla CMY2-containing plasmid to E. coli DH5-á, with a general decline in conjugation frequency of digested isolates compared to non-digested. Overall, the isolates showed a higher degree of cell adhesion than cell invasion, with a slight increase after digestion compared non-digested, except for three isolates that displayed a major increase of invasion. These isolates also harbored genes facilitating invasion. In the virulence-associated gene analysis two isolates were categorized as UPEC, and one isolate was considered a hybrid pathogen. Altogether the pathogenic potential of these isolates is highly dependent on the individual isolate and its characteristics. Poultry meat may represent a reservoir and be a vehicle for dissemination of potential human pathogens and resistance determinants, and the ESC-resistance may complicate treatment in the case of an infection.

Abstract
The study of mass transfer is essential in the food digestion process, especially when gastric acid interacts with food and nutrients dissolve in the gastric system. In this study, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was built based on an in vitro study, which investigated the mass transfer in a tablet dissolution process in a beaker and stirrer system. The predicted mass transfer coefficients from the simulation aligned well with the experimental values. The effect of the type and rotation speed of the stirrers was also investigated. Mass transfer from the tablet was found to be closely related to the tablet Reynolds number of the fluid (ranging from 0 to 938) and the shear stress (0 to 0.167 Pa) acting on the tablet. The relationship between the power number (0.0061 to 0.196) and the Reynolds number for the impeller (719 to 5715) was also derived for different stirrers.

Abstract
The intestinal tract is a vital organ responsible for digestion and absorption in the human body and plays an essential role in pathogen invasion. Compared with other traditional models, gut-on-a-chip has many unique advantages, and thereby, it can be considered as a novel model for studying intestinal functions and diseases. Based on the chip design, we can replicate the in vivo microenvironment of the intestine and study the effects of individual variables on the experiment. In recent years, it has been used to study several diseases. To better mimic the intestinal microenvironment, the structure and function of gut-on-a-chip are constantly optimised and improved. Owing to the complexity of the disease mechanism, gut-on-a-chip can be used in conjunction with other organ chips. In this review, we summarise the human intestinal structure and function as well as the development and improvement of gut-on-a-chip. Finally, we present and discuss gut-on-a-chip applications in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), viral infections and phenylketonuria. Further improvement of the simulation and high throughput of gut-on-a-chip and realisation of personalised treatments are the problems that should be solved for gut-on-a-chip as a disease model.

Predicting the Glycemic Index of Biscuits Using Static In Vitro Digestion Protocols. Foods 2023; 12:foods12020404.

Abstract
In vitro digestion methods that can accurately predict the estimated GI (eGI) values of complex carbohydrate foods, including biscuits, are worth exploring. In the current study, standard commercial biscuits with varied clinical GI values between 9~30 were digested using both the INFOGEST and single-enzyme digestion protocols. The digestion kinetic parameters were acquired through mathematical fitting by mathematical kinetics models. The results showed that compared with the INFOGEST protocol, the AUR180 deduced from digesting using either porcine pancreatin or α-amylase showed the best potential in predicting the eGI values. Accordingly, mathematical equations were established based on the relations between the AUR180 and the GI values. When digesting using porcine pancreatin, GI= 1.834 + 0.009 ×AUCR180 (R2= 0.952), and when digesting using only α-amylase, GI= 6.101 + 0.009 ×AUCR180 (R2=0.902). The AUR180 represents the area under the curve of the reducing-sugar content normalized to the total carbohydrates versus the digestion time in 180 min. The in vitro method presented enabled the rapid and accurate prediction of the eGI values of biscuits, and the validity of the formula was verified by another batch of biscuits with a known GI, and the error rate of most samples was less than 30%.

Abstract
The gut microbiota can be a determining factor of the health status of the host by its association with some diseases. It is known that dietary intake can modulate this microbiota through the consumption of compounds like essential oils, unsaturated fatty acids, non-digestible fiber, and probiotics, among others. However, these kinds of compounds can be damaged in the gastrointestinal tract as they pass through it to reach the intestine. This is due to the aggressive and changing conditions of this tract. For this reason, to guarantee that compounds arrive in the intestine at an adequate concentration to exert a modulatory effect on the gut microbiota, encapsulation should be sought. In this paper, we review the current research on compounds that modulate the gut microbiota, the encapsulation techniques used to protect the compounds through the gastrointestinal tract, in vitro models of this tract, and how these encapsulates interact with the gut microbiota. Finally, an overview of the regulatory status of these encapsulates is presented. The key findings are that prebiotics are the best modulators of gut microbiota fermentation metabolites. Also, probiotics promote an increase of beneficial gut microorganisms, which in some cases promotes their fermentation metabolites as well. Spray drying, freeze drying, and electrodynamics are notable encapsulation techniques that permit high encapsulation efficiency, high viability, and, together with wall materials, a high degree of protection against gastrointestinal conditions, allowing controlled release in the intestine and exerting a modulatory effect on gut microbiota.

Rasera GB, de Camargo AC, de Castro RJS. Bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds using the standardized INFOGEST protocol: A narrative review. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2023; 22:260-286.

Abstract
The INFOGEST protocol creation was a watershed for phenolic bioaccessibility studies. Because of this important initiative to standardize bioaccessibility studies, data comparisons between different laboratories are now expedited. It has been eight years since the INFOGEST protocol creation, and three from the latest update. However, the current status in terms of phenolic bioaccessibility and how far different laboratories are from reaching a consensus are still unrevealed. In this sense, this narrative review considered an evaluation of different studies that applied the INFOGEST protocol to investigate the bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds. The central objective was to compile the main findings and consensus and to identify possible gaps and future opportunities. This approach intends to further facilitate the use of this protocol by professionals in the field of food science and technology and related areas, generating a reflection on the actual level of standardization of the method. Despite the differences in phenolic compounds from diverse food matrices, and their peculiar behavior, some trends could be elucidated, in terms of phenolic release, stability, and/or transformation upon in vivo digestion. In contrast, there was no general consensus regarding sample preparation, how to report results and the form to calculate bioaccessibility, making it difficult to compare different studies. There is still a long road to effectively standardize the results obtained for phenolic bioaccessibility using the INFOGEST protocol, which is also an opportunity in terms of food analysis that can impact the food industry, especially for the development of nutraceuticals and functional foods.

Abstract
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a global health concern affecting one-third of the world's population, particularly those dominated by plant-based food. Fortifying staple foods with iron has been an effective strategy for preventing IDA. Pneumatophorus japonicus is an essential economic fish in China. Pneumatophorus japonicus dark meat is usually underutilized as a byproduct, though it contains bounteous nutrients, including heme iron (10.50 mg/100 g). This study aimed to investigate the iron bioavailability of P. japonicus dark meat and to evaluate its potential as an iron fortifier for whole-wheat flour, a typical staple food, using an in vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell culture system. Our results suggested the excellent iron bioavailability of P. japonicus dark meat in comparison with beef (a heme dietary iron reference), whole-wheat flour (a non-heme dietary iron reference), and FeSO4 (a conventional iron supplement). The addition of P. japonicus dark meat notably enhanced iron solubility, bioavailability, and protein digestibility of whole-wheat flour. The flour-dark meat mixture yielded 1.96 times the iron bioavailability compared to beef per gram. The iron bioavailability was further improved by adding vitamin C, a commonly used dietary factor, at the Vc/iron mass ratio of 2:100-5:100. Our findings reveal the promise of P. japonicus dark meat as a significant source of bioavailable iron, providing a basis for developing fish byproducts as alternatives for iron supplementation. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study investigated the iron bioavailability of Pneumatophorus japonicus meat using in vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell culture system. These results could be used to improve the utilization of Pneumatophorus japonicus byproduct (dark meat) and develop the potential of the byproduct as an iron fortifier for whole-wheat flour.

Abstract
Development of whole rice with low glycaemic index has been achieved, however, these rices are frequently associated with a poor texture property. Recent advances in terms of understanding the importance of starch fine molecular structures on the starch digestibility/texture of cooked whole rice have shed new insights on mechanisms of starch digestibility and texture from molecular levels. With an extensive discussion on the correlative and causal relationships among starch molecular structure, texture and starch digestibility of cooked whole rice, this review identified desirable starch fine molecular structures contributing to both slow starch digestibility and preferable textures. For instance, the selection of rice variety having more amylopectin intermediate chains while less amylopectin long chains might help develop cooked whole rice with both slower starch digestibility and softer texture. The information could help rice industry transform cooked whole rice into a healthier food product with slow starch digestibility and desirable texture.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds have become interesting bioactive antioxidant compounds with implications for obesity, cancer and inflammatory gastrointestinal pathologies. As the influence of digestion and gut microbiota on antioxidant behavior is yet to be completely elucidated, and due to limitations associated to in vivo studies, dynamic in vitro gastrointestinal models have been promoted. A systematic review was conducted of different databases (PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus) following PRISMA guidelines to assess different dynamic digestion models and assay protocols used for phenolic compound research regarding bioaccesibility and interaction with colonic microbiota. Of 284 records identified, those including dynamic multicompartmental digestion models for the study of phenolic compound bioaccesibility, bioactivity and the effects of microbiota were included, with 57 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Different conditions and experimental configurations as well as administered doses, sample treatments and microbiological assays of dynamic digestion studies on polyphenols were recorded and compared to establish their relevance for the dynamic in vitro digestion of phenolic compounds. While similarities were observed in certain experimental areas, a high variability was found in others, such as administered doses. A description of considerations on the study of the digestion of phenolic compounds is proposed to enhance comparability in research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Baked products such as biscuits and breads are the staple foods for a large population, with the starch digestion rate having a crucial effect on human health. Currently, there is a lack of information on general starch digestibility in commercial baked products and its correlation with macronutrient content. RESULTS The present study investigated the starch digestibility of 35 commercial baked products, ranging from low to high moisture contents. Biscuits generally had a slower starch digestion rate than mini-breads, whereas breads including whole wheat bread had the fastest digestion rate. Additionally, starch digestibility was negatively correlated with the calorie (R2 = 0.71) and fat content (R2 = 0.56) in per serving size, possibly because of the formation of amylose-lipid complex. CONCLUSION The present study provides a database for the in vitro starch digestibility of a large number of food items, which gives general indications on the performance of starch components of commercial products in the human gastrointestinal tract. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The food-gut microbiota interaction is an important regulator of human health. Numerous in vitro and animal models have thus been developed in order to simulate the specific food-gut microbiota and/or host-gut microbiota interactions in the human colon. This review summarizes the design principles of each model and discusses their advantages and weaknesses in terms of studying food-gut microbiota interactions. In vitro fermentation models appear to be reliable methods to investigate various aspects involved in the food-gut microbiota interactions in humans. However, many physiological perspectives lack appreciation of these models, such as peristaltic movement, biochemical conditions, and gastrointestinal anatomy. Animal models provide more physiological relevance to human trials compared to in vitro models. However, they may have gastrointestinal tract aspects that are distinct from human subjects. This review contains important information that can help the development of more advanced models to study food-gut microbiota interactions in humans.

Abstract
Intestinal flora is numerous and diverse, and play a key role in maintaining human health. Dietary polysaccharides are widely present in the daily diet and have a moderating effect on the intestinal flora. Past studies have confirmed that intestinal flora is involved in the metabolic process in the human body, and the change in intestinal flora structure is closely related to the metabolic disorders in the human body. Therefore, regulating intestinal flora through dietary polysaccharides is an effective way to treat and prevent common metabolic diseases and has great research value. However, this area has not received enough attention. In this review, we provide an overview of the modulatory effects of dietary polysaccharides on intestinal flora and the key role of intestinal flora in improving metabolic disorders in humans. In addition, we highlight the therapeutic and preventive effects of intestinal flora modulation through dietary polysaccharides on metabolic disorders, aiming to find new ways to treat metabolic disorders and facilitate future exploration in this field.

Abstract
The application of dynamic in vitro gastrointestinal (GI) models has grown in popularity to understand the impact of food structure and composition on human health. Given that GI motility is integral to digestion and absorption, a predictive in vitro model should faithfully replicate the motility patterns and motor functions in vivo. In this review, typical characteristics of gastric and small intestinal motility in humans as well as the biomechanical and hydrodynamic events pertinent to gut motility are summarized. The simulation of GI motility in the presently existing dynamic in vitro models is discussed from an engineering perspective and categorized into hydraulic, piston/probe-driven, roller-driven, pneumatic, and other systems. Each system and its representative models are evaluated in terms of their motility patterns, the key hydrodynamic characteristics concerning gut motility, their performance in simulating the key physiological events, and their ability to establish in vitro-in vivo correlations. Practical Application: The review paper provided useful information in the design of dynamic GI models and the simulation of human gastric and small intestinal motility which are important for understanding food and health.
