[PMID: 39125281 PMCID: PMC11314321 DOI: 10.3390/nu16152398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Bioactive peptides derived from native proteins modulate physiological processes in the metabolic pathways. Given that multiple protocols in the literature mimic the digestion of dietary components, gathering studies that use such models directed at protein digestion processes is critical. This systematic review aimed to gather evidence that adopted adequate experimental models to simulate human protein digestion. The databases searched were PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Embase, Virtual Health Library, and Scopus. A total of 1985 articles were found, resulting in 20 eligible in vitro studies. The Office of Health Assessment and Translation was used to evaluate methodological quality. Seven studies used plant-based protein sources, twelve used animal protein sources, and one used both. The duration of the oral phase varied, although 60% of the studies employed a protein digestion period of 120 min. Amylase, pepsin, and pancreatin enzymes were utilized in 40% of the studies, with pH levels of 7, 3, and 7, respectively, during the oral, gastric, and intestinal phases. The INFOGEST harmonized static model was adopted by 65% of the studies; INFOGEST is the most effective model for simulating gastrointestinal protein processes in humans and can be used to answer several research questions because it describes experimental conditions close to the human physiological situation.

Abstract
Regarding the limited information on species protein differences between sheep, goat, and cow milk, the differentially expressed proteins in sheep, goat, and cow milk and their functional differences are analyzed using label-free proteomics technology to identify potential biomarkers. 770 proteins and 2914 peptide segments were identified. The statistical analysis showed significant differences in the relative abundances of the 74 proteins among the sheep, goat, and cow milk. CSN3 and LALBA can be used as potential biomarkers for goat milk, XDH can be used as potential biomarkers for cow milk, and CTSB and BPIFB1 can be used as potential biomarkers for sheep milk. The functional analysis using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes showed that these significantly different proteins were enriched by different pathways including thyroid hormone synthesis and glycerol phospholipid metabolism. The data revealed differences in the amounts and physiological functions of the milk proteins of different species, which may provide an important basis for research on the nutritional composition of dairy products and adulteration identification technology.

Protein Ingredient Quality within Infant Formulas Impacts Plasma Amino Acid Concentrations in Neonatal Minipiglets. J Nutr 2024; 154:2029-2041. [PMID: 38801861 DOI: 10.1016/j.tjnut.2024.05.009] [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: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Infant formulas (IFs), the only adequate substitute to human milk, are complex matrices that require numerous ingredients and processing steps that may impact protein digestion and subsequent amino acid (AA) absorption. OBJECTIVES The objective was to understand the impact of the protein ingredient quality within IFs on postprandial plasma AA profiles. METHODS Four isonitrogenous and isocaloric IFs were produced at a semi-industrial scale using whey proteins from different origins (cheese compared with ideal whey) and denaturation levels (IF-A, -B, -C), and caseins with different supramolecular organizations (IF-C, -D). Ten Yucatan minipiglets (12- to 27-d-old) were used as a human infant model and received each IF for 3 d according to a Williams Latin square followed by a 2-d wash-out period. Jugular plasma was regularly sampled from 10 min preprandial to 4 h postprandial on the third day to measure free AAs, urea, insulin, and glucose concentrations. Data were statistically analyzed using a mixed linear model with diet (IFs), time, and sex as fixed factors and piglet as random factor. RESULTS IFs made with cheese whey (IF-A and -B) elicited significantly higher plasma total and essential AA concentrations than IFs made with ideal whey (IF-C and -D), regardless of the pre- and postprandial times. Most of the differences observed postprandially were explained by AA homeostasis modifications. IFs based on cheese whey induced an increased plasma concentration of Thr due to both a higher Thr content in these IFs and a Thr-limiting degrading capability in piglets. The use of a nonmicellar casein ingredient led to reduced plasma content of AA catabolism markers (IF-D compared with IF-C). CONCLUSIONS Overall, our results highlight the importance of the protein ingredient quality (composition and structure) within IFs on neonatal plasma AA profiles, which may further impact infant protein metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND β-casein is the main casein constituent in human milk (HM) and a source of bioactive peptides for the developing gastrointestinal tract and immune system. Infant formulas contain less β-casein than HM, but whether different concentrations of β-casein affect tolerability and gut and immune maturation in newborns is unknown. OBJECTIVES Using near-term piglets as a model for newborn infants, we investigated whether increasing the β-casein fraction in bovine-based formula is clinically safe and may improve gut and immune maturation. METHODS Three groups of near-term pigs (96% gestation) were fed formula with bovine casein and whey protein (ratio 40:60): 1) standard skim milk casein (BCN-standard, 35% β-casein of total casein, n = 18); 2) β-casein enrichment to HM concentrations (BCN-medium, 65%, n = 19); and 3) high β-casein enrichment (BCN-high, 91%, n = 19). A reference group was fed 100% whey protein concentrate (WPC) as protein (WPC, n = 18). Intestinal and immune parameters were assessed before and after euthanasia on day 5. RESULTS Clinical variables (mortality, activity, body growth, and diarrhea) were similar among the groups, and no differences in intestinal or biochemical parameters were observed between BCN-standard and BCN-medium pigs. However, pigs receiving high amounts of β-casein (BCN-high) had lower small intestine weight and tended to have more intestinal complications (highest gut pathology score, permeability, and interleukin-8) than the other groups, particularly those receiving no casein (WPC pigs). Blood lymphocyte, thrombocyte, and reticulocyte counts were increased with higher β-casein, whereas eosinophil counts were reduced. In vitro blood immune cell responses were similar among groups. CONCLUSIONS β-casein enrichment of bovine-based formula to HM concentrations is clinically safe, as judged from newborn, near-term pigs, whereas no additional benefits to gut maturation were observed. However, excessive β-casein supplementation, beyond concentrations in HM, may potentially induce gut inflammation together with increased blood cell populations relative to natural β-casein concentrations or pure whey-based formula.

Abstract
There are a wide range of commercial infant formulae available on the market. These are made using milk from different species, such as goat, sheep, and cow. The different protein compositions of these milks and the process used during infant-formulae manufacture, such as heat treatment, may impact the digestion of nutrients. This study compared the effect of protein composition and heat treatment on the in vitro gastric digestion behaviour of commercial infant formulae made with cow, goat, and sheep milk using a dynamic infant human gastric simulator (IHGS). During the simulated dynamic gastric digestion, the goat milk infant formula (GIF) showed earlier signs of aggregate formation compared to cow milk infant formula (CIF) and sheep milk infant formula (SIF). In addition, the microstructures of GIF chyme showed fragmented and porous structures. On the contrary, CIF formed dense protein networks that trapped oil droplets, whereas SIF exhibited a microstructure of smooth oil droplets surrounded by fewer protein networks. The different aggregation behaviours and aggregate structures of the three infant-formulae chyme were related to their different protein compositions, especially the different casein compositions. Furthermore, the open fragile structure of GIF aggregates provided easier access to pepsin, allowing it to hydrolyse protein. The results from the present study provided some information to assist in understanding the coagulation and digestion behaviours of commercial infant formulae made from different species of milk.

High hydrostatic pressure induced gastrointestinal digestion behaviors of quercetin-loaded casein delivery systems under different calcium concentration. Food Chem X 2024; 21:101177.

Abstract
Casein micelle has a structure of outer hydrophilicity and inner hydrophobicity, its typical digestion characteristic is gastric coagulation. Based on calcium content as the key factor to control this process, high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) was firstly used to modify the micelle structure by mediating the tight connection between casein molecules themselves and with colloidal calcium, then the quercetin-loaded delivery systems were prepared. And in order to investigate the effect of exogenous calcium, calcium chloride was added for digestion. The results indicated that HHP broke the limitation of casein micelles as delivery carriers for hydrophobic components and increased the EE from 51.18 ± 3.07 % to 76.17 ± 3.41 %. During gastric digestion, higher pressure and exogenous calcium synergistically increased the clotting ability and inhibited the release of quercetin. In the small intestine, curds decomposed more slowly under higher pressure and calcium concentration, so the degradation of quercetin was effectively inhibited.

Abstract
Background: In vitro studies suggest that casein coagulation of milk is influenced by its mineral composition, and may therefore affect the dynamics of protein digestion, gastric emptying and appearance of amino acids (AA) in the blood, but this remains to be confirmed in vivo. Objective: This study aimed to compare gastrointestinal digestion between two milks with the same total calcium content but different casein mineralization (CM). Design: Fifteen males (age 30.9 ± 13.8 years, BMI 22.5 ± 2.2 kg m-2) participated in this randomized cross-over study with two treatments. Participants underwent gastric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans at the baseline and every 10 min up to 90 min after consumption of 600 ml milk with low or high CM. Blood samples were taken at the baseline and up to 5 hours postprandially. Primary outcomes were postprandial plasma AA concentrations and gastric emptying rate. Secondary outcomes were postprandial glucose and insulin levels, gastric coagulation as estimated by image texture metrics, and appetite ratings. Results: Gastric content volume over time was similar for both treatments. However, gastric content image analysis suggested that the liquid fraction emptied quicker in the high CM milk, while the coagulum emptied slower. Relative to high CM, low CM showed earlier appearance of AAs that are more dominant in casein, such as proline (MD 4.18 μmol L-1, 95% CI [2.38-5.98], p < 0.001), while there was no difference in appearance of AAs that are more dominant in whey protein, such as leucine. The image texture metrics homogeneity and busyness differed significantly between treatments (MD 0.007, 95% CI [0.001, 0.012], p = 0.022; MD 0.005, 95% CI [0.001, 0.010], p = 0.012) likely because of a reduced coagulation in the low CM milk. Conclusions: Mineral composition of milk can influence postprandial serum AA kinetics, likely due to differences in coagulation dynamics. The clinical trial registry number is NL8959 (https://clinicaltrials.gov).

Abstract
Vitamin D3 deficiency is a global phenomenon, which can be managed with supplementation and food fortification. However, vitamin D3 bioaccessibility may depend on factors such as matrix composition and interactions throughout the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This research focused on the effect of different matrices on vitamin D3 content during digestion, as well as the effect of pH on its bioaccessibility. The INFOGEST protocol was employed to simulate digestion. Three different types of commercial supplements, two foods naturally rich in vitamin D3, and three fortified foods were investigated. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography was used to determine the initial vitamin D3 content in the supplements and foods, as well as after each digestion stage. The results indicate that the foods exhibited higher bioaccessibility indices compared to the supplements and a higher percentage retention at the end of the gastric phase. The pH study revealed a positive correlation between an increased gastric pH and the corresponding content of vitamin D3. Interestingly, exposing the matrix to a low pH during the gastric phase resulted in an increased intestinal content of D3. Vitamin D3 is more bioaccessible from foods than supplements, and its bioaccessibility is susceptible to changes in gastric pH. Fasting conditions (i.e., gastric pH = 1) enhance the vitamin's bioaccessibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postprandial metabolic responses following dairy consumption have mostly been studied using stand-alone dairy products or milk-derived nutrients. OBJECTIVE Assessing the impact of ingesting dairy products as part of a common breakfast on postprandial aminoacidemia, glycemic control, markers of bone metabolism, and satiety. METHODS In this randomized, crossover study, 20 healthy young males and females consumed on 3 separate occasions an iso-energetic breakfast containing no dairy (NO-D), 1 dairy (ONE-D), or 2 dairy (TWO-D) products. Postprandial concentrations of amino acids, glucose, insulin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and markers of bone formation (P1NP) and resorption (CTX-I) were measured before and up to 300 min after initiating the breakfast, along with VAS-scales to assess satiety. RESULTS Plasma essential and branched-chained amino acids availability (expressed as total area under the curve (tAUC)) increased in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05 for all comparisons). Plasma glucose tAUCs were lower in ONE-D and TWO-D compared with NO-D (P<0.05 for both comparisons). Plasma GLP-1 tAUC increased in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05 for all comparisons), whereas no differences were observed in plasma insulin tAUC between conditions (P>0.05 for all comparisons). Serum calcium tAUCs were higher in ONE-D and TWO-D compared with NO-D (P<0.05 for both comparisons), along with lower PTH tAUCs in ONE-D and TWO-D compared with NO-D (P=0.001 for both comparisons). In accordance, serum CTX-I concentrations were lower in the late postprandial period in ONE-D and TWO-D compared with NO-D (P<0.01 for both comparisons). No differences were observed in P1NP tAUCs between conditions (P>0.05). The tAUC for satiety was higher in TWO-D compared with NO-D and ONE-D (P<0.05 for both comparisons). CONCLUSIONS Iso-energetic replacement of a carbohydrate-rich breakfast component with one serving of dairy improves postprandial amino acid availability, glycemic control, and bone metabolism. Adding a second serving of dairy in lieu of carbohydrates augments postprandial amino acid and GLP-1 concentrations while further promoting satiety.

Abstract
Gastric digestion conditions change during infancy from newborn towards more adult digestion conditions, which can change gastric digestion kinetics. However, how these changes in gastric digestion conditions during infancy affect milk protein digestion has not been investigated. Therefore, we aimed to investigate milk protein digestion with static in vitro gastric digestion models representing one-, three- and six-month-old infants. With increasing age, gastric clots and soluble proteins were digested more extensively, which may partly be attributed to the looser gastric clot structure. Larger differences with increasing age were found for heated than unheated milk proteins, which might be caused by the presence of denatured whey proteins. Taken together, these findings show that gastric milk protein digestion increases during infancy. These in vitro gastric digestion models could be used to study how milk protein digestion changes with infant age, which may aid in developing infant formulas for different age stages.

Abstract
Fermented dairy products (e.g., yogurt, kefir, and buttermilk) are significant in the dairy industry. They are less immunoreactive than the raw materials from which they are derived. The attractiveness of these products is based on their bioactivity and properties that induce immune or anti-inflammatory processes. In the search for new solutions, plant raw materials with beneficial effects have been combined to multiply their effects or obtain new properties. Polyphenols (e.g., flavonoids, phenolic acids, lignans, and stilbenes) are present in fruit and vegetables, but also in coffee, tea, or wine. They reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, or inflammation. Hence, it is becoming valuable to combine dairy proteins with polyphenols, of which epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and chlorogenic acid (CGA) show a particular predisposition to bind to milk proteins (e.g., α-lactalbumin β-lactoglobulin, αs1-casein, and κ-casein). Reducing the allergenicity of milk proteins by combining them with polyphenols is an essential issue. As potential 'metabolic prebiotics', they also contribute to stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting pathogenic bacteria in the human gastrointestinal tract. In silico methods, mainly docking, assess the new structures of conjugates and the consequences of the interactions that are formed between proteins and polyphenols, as well as to predict their action in the body.

[PMID: 37803594 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113280] [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: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023]
Abstract
In this study, the effects of adding sodium tripolyphosphate during the extrusion of textured wheat protein (TWP)-based meat analogs were investigated. Five TWPs (TWP-C0, TWP-C0.10, TWP-C0.25, TWP-C0.50, and TWP-C0.75) were prepared with sodium tripolyphosphate concentrations of 0%, 0.10%, 0.25%, 0.50%, and 0.75%, respectively. The fibrous structure of TWPs was analyzed by determining their textural properties, degree of texturization, microstructure, and protein bonds. When the concentration of sodium tripolyphosphate increased from 0% to 0.75%, the fibers in TWPs became more regular and finer with smaller pores, the degree of texturization increased from 2.10 ± 0.09 to 2.73 ± 0.07, and the proportions of solubilized protein from the breaking of hydrophobic bonds and disulfide bonds increased from 2.06 ± 0.14% and 1.38 ± 0.11% to 3.42 ± 0.12% and 1.74 ± 0.05%, respectively. The results of particle size, soluble nitrogen content, and free amino acids of samples during digestion indicated that the disintegration rate and protein digestibility of TWPs increased with the increase in the concentration of sodium tripolyphosphate. After gastrointestinal digestion, the total free amino acids released in TWP-C0, TWP-C0.10, TWP-C0.25, TWP-C0.50, and TWP-C0.75 were 391.5 ± 2.2, 403.9 ± 1.5, 430.0 ± 3.6, 473.8 ± 2.9 and 485.3 ± 5.73 mg/10 g digesta, respectively. Sodium tripolyphosphate may improve the protein digestibility of TWPs by forming a finer fibrous structure with a more unfolded protein structure and more hydrophobic groups being exposed to enzymes.

Abstract
An infant in vitro digestion model was utilized to investigate protein digestion characteristics in human and diverse mammalian milk (i.e., cow, goat, sheep, mare, and camel milk) using electrophoresis and chromatography. Digestive differences among milks were mainly manifested in the infant gastric phase, as evidenced by varying degrees of protein digestion. Notably, proteins (i.e., lactoferrin, serum albumin, and immunoglobulin G-heavy chain) remained partially intact in human milk, whereas these proteins in animal milk were exclusively degraded after gastrointestinal digestion. The peptide spectra of human, mare, and camel milk were highly similar, with a predominant formation of low-intensity small peptides, whereas the other three milk showed the opposite phenomenon. Heatmap cluster analysis indicated that camel milk was the most comparable to human milk before digestion, yet sheep milk was the most similar to human milk regarding protein digestion behaviors following infant gastric digestion.

Abstract
A semi-dynamic gastrointestinal device was employed to explore the link between protein structure and metabolic response upon digestion for two different substrates, a casein hydrolysate and the precursor micellar casein. As expected, casein formed a firm coagulum that remained until the end of the gastric phase while the hydrolysate did not develop any visible aggregate. Each gastric emptying point was subjected to a static intestinal phase where the peptide and amino acid composition changed drastically from that found during the gastric phase. Gastrointestinal digests from the hydrolysate were characterized by a high abundancy of resistant peptides and free amino acids. Although all gastric and intestinal digests from both substrates induced the secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in STC-1 cells, GLP-1 levels were maximum in response to gastrointestinal digests from the hydrolysate. The enrichment of protein ingredients with gastric-resistant peptides by enzymatic hydrolysis is proposed as strategy to deliver protein stimuli to the distal gastrointestinal tract to control food intake or type 2 diabetes.

Whey Protein Premeal Lowers Postprandial Glucose Concentrations in Adults Compared with Water-The Effect of Timing, Dose, and Metabolic Status: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Am J Clin Nutr 2023; 118:391-405. [PMID: 37536867 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.05.012] [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: 11/22/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Serving whey protein before a meal in order to lower postprandial blood glucose concentrations is known as a premeal. The underlying mechanisms are only partly understood but may involve stimulation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), and insulin secretion together with a slower gastric emptying rate. OBJECTIVES The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to review all randomized clinical trials investigating premeals with whey protein in comparison with a nonactive comparator (control) that evaluated plasma glucose, GLP-1, GIP, insulin, and/or gastric emptying rate. Secondary aims included subgroup analyses on the timing and dose of the premeal together with the metabolic state of the participants [lean, obese, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)]. METHODS We searched EMBASE, CENTRAL, PUBMED, and clinicaltrials.gov and found 16 randomized crossover trials with a total of 244 individuals. The last search was performed on 9 August, 2022. RESULTS Whey protein premeals lowered peak glucose concentration by -1.4 mmol/L [-1.9 mmol/L; -0.9 mmol/L], and the area under the curve for glucose was -0.9 standard deviation (SD) [-1.2 SD; -0.6 SD] compared with controls (high certainty). In association with these findings, whey protein premeals elevated GLP-1 (low certainty) and peak insulin (high certainty) concentrations and slowed gastric emptying rate (high certainty) compared with controls. Subgroup analyses showed a more pronounced and prolonged glucose-lowering effect in individuals with T2DM compared with participants without T2DM. The available evidence did not elucidate the role of GIP. The protein dose used varied between 4 and 55 g, and meta-regression analysis showed that the protein dose correlated with the glucose-lowering effects. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, whey protein premeals lower postprandial blood glucose, reduce gastric emptying rate, and increase peak insulin. In addition, whey protein premeals may elevate plasma concentrations of GLP-1. Whey protein premeals may possess clinical potential, but the long-term effects await future clinical trials.

Abstract
In vitro coagulation and digestion of caprine and bovine micellar casein concentrate (MCC) with or without partial colloidal calcium depletion (deCa) were studied under simulated adult and elderly conditions. Gastric clots were smaller and looser for caprine than bovine MCC, and were further looser with deCa and under elderly condition for both caprine and bovine MCC. Casein hydrolysis and concomitant formation of large peptides was faster for caprine than bovine MCC, and with deCa and under adult condition for caprine and bovine MCC. Formation of free amino groups and small peptides were faster for caprine MCC, and with deCa and under adult condition. Upon intestinal digestion, proteolysis occurred rapidly, and was faster under adult condition, but showed less differences with increasing digestion between caprine and bovine MCC, and with and without deCa. These results suggested weakened coagulation and greater digestibility for caprine MCC and MCC with deCa under both conditions.

Abstract
We aimed to assess if casein structure affects its digestion and its subsequent amino acid delivery kinetic. Higher nitrogen levels were recovered in dialysates after in vitro digestions of sodium caseinate (SC, formed of small aggregates) compared to micellar casein (MC, native form of casein) and calcium caseinate (CC, intermediate structure). Likewise, plasma indispensable amino-acid concentration peak was higher after SC compared to MC or CC ingestion in healthy volunteers in a randomized, double blind, cross-over study. In pigs, gamma-scintigraphy using labelled meals revealed that SC was mainly localized in the proximal part of the stomach whereas MC was distributed in the whole gastric cavity. Caseins were found in both solid and liquid phases and partly hydrolyzed casein in the solid phase shortly after SC drink ingestion. These data support the concept of slow (MC) and rapid (SC) casein depending of casein structure, likely due to their intra-gastric clotting properties.

Abstract
The degradation of anthraquinones extracted from aloe vera plants can be prevented by encapsulating them in casein micelles (CMs). The oral, gastric, and intestinal digestion behavior of spray-dried microcapsules of casein micelles loaded with aloe vera-extracted anthraquinone powder (CMAQP), freeze-dried powder (CMFDP), and whole-leaf aloe vera gel (CMWLAG) obtained through ultrasonication was investigated. The results found that CMAQP and CMFDP dissolved slowly and coagulated into large curds during gastric digestion, improving the retention of anthraquinones in the digestive tract. In contrast, CMWLAG structure was destroyed and increased amounts of anthraquinones were released during oral and gastric digestion phases, indicating increased amounts of surface anthraquinones instead of the encapsulation of anthraquinones in the interior of CMs. The strong hydrophobic interactions protected anthraquinones within the core of CM for CMAQP and delayed diffusion. However, during SIF digestion, both CMAQP and CMFDP released significant amounts of anthraquinones, although CMAQP showed a much more controlled release for both aloin and aloe-emodin over SIF digestion time. The release behavior of anthraquinones from CM microcapsules was a function of the type of anthraquinone that was used to encapsulate. The present study provides insight into the release behavior of loaded bioactive compounds using food-grade CMs as the wall material during in vitro digestion and highlights the importance of the type of bioactive component form that will be encapsulated.

Abstract
Infant formula (IF) is a complex matrix requiring numerous ingredients and processing steps. The objective was to understand how the quality of protein ingredients impacts IF structure and, in turn, their kinetics of digestion. Four powdered IFs (A/B/C/D), based on commercial whey protein (WP) ingredients, with different protein denaturation levels and composition (A/B/C), and on caseins with different supramolecular organisations (C/D), were produced at a semi-industrial level after homogenization and spray-drying. Once reconstituted in water (13 %, wt/wt), the IF microstructure was analysed with asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation coupled with multi-angle light scattering and differential refractometer, transmission electron microscopy and electrophoresis. The rehydrated IFs were subjected to simulated infant in vitro dynamic digestion (DIDGI®). Digesta were regularly sampled to follow structural changes (confocal microscopy, laser-light scattering) and proteolysis (OPA, SDS-PAGE, LC-MS/MS, cation-exchange chromatography). Before digestion, different microstructures were observed among IFs. IF-A, characterized by more denatured WPs, presented star-shaped mixed aggregates, with protein aggregates bounded to casein micelles, themselves adsorbed at the fat droplet interface. Non-micellar caseins, brought by non-micellar casein powder (IF-D) underwent rearrangement and aggregation at the interface of flocculated fat droplets, leading to a largely different microstructure of IF emulsion, with large aggregates of lipids and proteins. During digestion, IF-A more digested (degree of proteolysis + 16 %) at 180 min of intestinal phase than IF-C/D. The modification of the supramolecular organisation of caseins implied different kinetics of peptide release derived from caseins during the gastric phase (more abundant at G80 for IF-D). Bioactive peptide release kinetics were also different during digestion with IF-C presenting a maximal abundance for a large proportion of them. Overall, the present study highlights the importance of the structure and composition of the protein ingredients (WPs and caseins) selected for IF formulation on the final IF structure and, in turn, on proteolysis. Whether it has some physiological consequences remains to be investigated.

[PMID: 37254390 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112814] [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: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the protein digestibility and postprandial metabolism in rats of milk protein matrices obtained by different industrial processes. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was conducted on Wistar rats that consumed a meal containing different 15N-labeled milk proteins. Four milk matrices were tested: native micellar caseins (C1), caseins low in calcium (C2 low Ca2+), a matrix containing a ratio 63:37 of caseins and whey proteins (CW2) and whey proteins alone (W). Blood and urine were collected during the postprandial period and rats were euthanized 6 h after meal intake to collect digestive contents and organs. RESULTS Orocaecal digestibility values of amino acids ranged between 96.0 ± 0.2% and 96.6 ± 0.4% for C1-, C2 low Ca2+- and W-matrices, while this value was significantly lower for CW2 matrix (92.4 ± 0.5%). More dietary nitrogen was sequestered in the splanchnic area (intestinal mucosa and liver) as well as in plasma proteins after ingestion of W matrix, especially compared to the C1- and C2 low Ca2+-matrices. Peptidomic analysis showed that more milk protein-derived peptides were identified in the caecum of rats after the ingestion of the matrices containing caseins compared to W matrix. CONCLUSION We found that demineralization of micellar caseins did not modify its digestibility and postprandial metabolism. The low digestibility of the modified casein-to-whey ratio matrix may be ascribed to a lower accessibility of the protein to digestive enzymes due to changes in the protein structure, while the higher nitrogen splanchnic retention after ingestion of whey was probably due to the fast assimilation of its protein content. Finally, our results showed that industrial processes that modify the structure and/or composition of milk proteins influence protein digestion and utilization.

Abstract
Gastric digestion of 2 commercial ultrafiltered milks and milk enriched with skim milk powder (to simulate concentration by reverse osmosis) was investigated and compared with the digestion of nonconcentrated milk. Curd formation and proteolysis of high-protein milks in simulated gastric conditions were studied using oscillatory rheology, extrusion testing, and gel electrophoresis. The presence of pepsin in the gastric fluid triggered coagulation at pH >6 and the elastic modulus of gels from high-protein milks was ∼5 times larger than the gel from reference milk. Despite similar protein concentrations, the coagulum from milk enriched with skim milk powder showed higher resistance to shear deformation than the coagula from ultrafiltered milks. The gel structure was also more heterogeneous. During digestion, the degradation of coagula from high-protein milks was slowed down compared with the coagulum from reference milk, and intact milk proteins were still detected after 120 min. Differences in the digestion patterns of coagula from high-protein milks were observed and were associated with the proportion of minerals bound to caseins and the denaturation rate of whey proteins.

Abstract
Reducing heat treatment (HT) during processing of infant milk formula (IMF) is desirable to produce a product that more closely resembles breast milk. By employing membrane filtration (MEM), we produced an IMF (60:40 whey to casein ratio) at pilot scale (250 kg). MEM-IMF had a significantly higher content of native whey (59.9 %) compared to HT-IMF (4.5 %) (p < 0.001). Pigs, at 28 days old, were blocked by sex, weight and litter origin and assigned to one of two treatments (n = 14/treatment): (1) starter diet containing 35 % of HT-IMF powder or (2) starter diet containing 35 % of MEM-IMF powder for 28 days. Body weight and feed intake were recorded weekly. Pigs at day 28 post weaning were sacrificed 180 min after their final feeding, for the collection of gastric, duodenal, jejunum and ileal contents (n = 10/treatment). MEM-IMF diet resulted in more water-soluble proteins and higher levels of protein hydrolysis in the digesta at various gut locations compared to HT-IMF (p < 0.05). In the jejunal digesta, a higher concentration of free amino acids were present post MEM-IMF consumption (247 ± 15 µmol g-1 of protein in digesta) compared to HT-IMF (205 ± 21 µmol g-1 of protein). Overall, average daily weight gain, average dairy feed intake and feed conversion efficiency were similar for pigs fed either MEM-IMF or HT-IMF diets, but differences and trends to difference of these indicators were determined in particular intervention periods. In conclusion, reducing heat treatment during processing of IMF influenced protein digestion and revealed minor effects on growth parameters providing in vivo evidence that babies who are fed with IMF processed by MEM are likely to have different protein digestion kinetics but minimal effect on overall growth trajectories as babies fed IMF processed by traditional thermal processing.

Abstract
Commercial whey protein (CWP) is generally produced in the cheese making process with heat treatment. Recently, native whey protein (NWP) can be obtained through microfiltration without heat treatment. The difference in physicochemical properties of CWP and NWP was confirmed in previous studies; however, in vivo research on the effect on muscle strength and protein synthesis is still lacking. In this study, rats were orally administered 1.56 g protein/kg body weight of lyophilized beverages containing CWP and NWP for 8 weeks. The biological value and net protein utilization in the NWP were significantly higher than in the CWP. Moreover, NWP increased muscle mass and grip strength compared to CWP. NWP also increased the phosphorylation of the mammalian target of rapamycin and ribosomal protein S6 kinase, pivotal proteins for muscle protein synthesis. These results suggest that NWP enhance muscle strength and protein synthesis more effectively than CWP.

Abstract
Preserved eggs, an alkaline-fermented food, have been widely searched for their anti-inflammatory activity. Their digestive characteristics in the human gastrointestinal tract and anti-cancer mechanism have not been well explained. In this study, we investigated the digestive characteristics and anti-tumor mechanisms of preserved eggs using an in vitro dynamic human gastrointestinal-IV (DHGI-IV) model. During digestion, the sample pH dynamically changed from 7.01 to 8.39. The samples were largely emptied in the stomach with a lag time of 45 min after 2 h. Protein and fat were significantly hydrolyzed with 90% and 87% digestibility, respectively. Moreover, preserved eggs digests (PED) significantly increased the free radical scavenging activity of ABTS, DPPH, FRAP and hydroxyl groups by 15, 14, 10 and 8 times more than the control group, respectively. PED significantly inhibited the growth, cloning and migration of HepG2 cells at concentrations of 250-1000 μg/mL. Meanwhile, it induced apoptosis by up/down-regulating the expression of the pro-apoptotic factor Bak and the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 in the mitochondrial pathway. PED (1000 μg/mL) treatment resulted in 55% higher ROS production than the control, which also led to apoptosis. Furthermore, PED down-regulated the expression of the pro-angiogenic genes HIF-1α and VEGF. These findings provided a reliable scientific reference for the study of the anti-tumor activity of preserved eggs.

Abstract
The model in vitro protein digestion technique has received greater attention due to providing significant advantages compared to in vivo experiments. This research employed an in vitro infant digestive static model to examine the protein digestibility of whey proteins isolate-lactose (WPI-Lac). The polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) pattern for alpha-lactalbumin of WPI at 60 min showed no detectable bands, while the alpha-lactalbumin of the WPI-Lac was completely digested after 5 min of gastric digestion. The beta-lactoglobulin of the WPI-Lac was found to be similar to the beta-lactoglobulin of the WPI, being insignificant at pH 3.0. The alpha-lactalbumin of the WPI decreased after 100 min of duodenal digestion at pH 6.5, and the WPI-Lac was completely digested after 60 min. The peptides were identified as ~2 kilodalton (kDa) in conjugated protein, which indicated that the level of degradation of the protein was high, due to the hydrolysis progress. The conjugated protein increased the responsiveness to digestive proteolysis, potentially leading to the release of immunogenic protein by lactose, and to the creation of hypoallergenic protein.

Abstract
1-Octacosanol (Octa) is a natural compound with several beneficial properties. However, its poor water solubility and metabolism in the digestive tract reduce its efficacy. The Octa-GA-Malt-PPI microcapsule was prepared as follows: gum Arabic (GA):maltose (Malt):pea protein isolate (PPI) = 2:1:2; core:shell = 1:7.5; emulsification temperature 70 °C; pH 9.0. An in vitro simulated gastrointestinal tract was used to analyze the digestion behavior. C57BL/6 mice were selected to establish an obesity model induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) to evaluate the effect of Octa monomer and the microcapsule. The diffusivity in water and storage stability of Octa improved after encapsulation. The microcapsule was ascribed to electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions. The sustained release of Octa from the microcapsule was observed in a simulated gastrointestinal tract. Compared with Octa monomer, the microcapsule was more effective in alleviating the symptoms of weight gain, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia induced by HFD in mice. In conclusion, the construction of microcapsule structure can improve the dispersibility and stability of Octa in water, achieve sustained release of Octa in the gastrointestinal tract, and improve its efficiency in alleviating the effects of HFD on the body.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have evaluated differences in the curd-forming ability of casein on gastric volume and content directly after ingestion in humans. OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the time course of gastric volume and curd conditions in the stomach after protein ingestion. METHODS This was an open-labeled, randomized crossover trial. Ten healthy men [age: 33.4 ± 7.3 y; BMI (kg/m2): 21.9 ± 0.9] received 350 g of 3 isonitrogenous and isocaloric protein drinks containing 30 g micellar casein (MCN), sodium caseinate (SCN), or whey protein concentrate (WPC). The gastric antrum cross-sectional area (CSA) and curd in the stomach were measured using ultrasonography within 5 h after ingestion. The differences between test foods were tested using the MIXED model and post hoc tests using Fisher's protected least significant difference. RESULTS The incremental AUC of the gastric antrum CSA after MCN ingestion was 1.3-fold and 1.5-fold higher than that after the ingestion of SCN and WPC, respectively (both P < 0.05), but not different between SCN and WPC. The number of participants with curds ≥20 mm with a high echogenicity clot observed in the stomach within 5 h after MCN ingestion was significantly greater than that after the ingestion of other proteins (n = 9 for MCN, n = 2 for SCN, and n = 0 for WPC; bothP < 0.01). The regression line slopes on total plasma amino acid concentration and gastric antrum CSA were significantly different between the participants with and without curds. CONCLUSIONS In contrast to SCN and WPC, MCN ingestion resulted in slow kinetics of gastric antrum CSA. Differences in curd formation of casein in the stomach affect gastric emptying and plasma amino acid absorption kinetics after ingestion in healthy men. This trial was registered at University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry as UMIN000038388 (https://center6.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr_e/ctr_view.cgi?recptno=R000043746).

Abstract
The effect of high-pressure processing (HPP) on the digestion behavior of skim and whole bovine milks was investigated using a human gastric simulator. Both milks formed clots during gastric digestion. HPP treatment led to the formation of a coagulum with a fragmented and crumbled structure, compared with the coagulum formed from untreated milk. At pressures over 400 MPa, more intense pressure resulted in looser and more fragmented gastric clot structures. The weight of the dried clots and the moisture content in the clots of the skim milk treated at 600 MPa were significantly lower and higher than that of untreated skim milk, respectively. The looser and more fragmented gastric clot structures consequently led to faster hydrolysis of the proteins by pepsin during gastric digestion. The denaturation of the whey proteins induced by HPP may have also altered the resistance of α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin in the HPP-treated milk samples to pepsin hydrolysis. This study provides insights into the differences among untreated skim milk, untreated whole milk and HPP-treated milk under in vitro gastric digestion conditions. The structure of the clots formed in the gastric environment affects their breakdown and consequently their emptying rate into the intestine.

Abstract
It is well-known that the postprandial muscle protein synthetic response to protein ingestion is regulated on various levels, including dietary protein digestion and amino acid (AA) absorption, splanchnic AA retention, the availability of dietary protein-derived AA in the circulation, delivery of AA to the muscle, uptake of AA by the muscle, and intramuscular signaling. AA availability after consumption of dairy products is primarily determined by the rate of gastric emptying of milk proteins, which is mainly linked to coagulation of milk proteins in the stomach. Caseins form gastric coagula, which make their gastric emptying and subsequent postprandial aminoacidemia notably slower than that of whey proteins. Only recently, the role of processing, food structure, preservation and matrix on coagulation herein has been getting attention. In this review we describe various processes, that affect gastric coagulation of caseins and therewith control gastric emptying, such as the conversion to caseinate, heat treatment in the presence of whey proteins, conversion to stirred yoghurt and enzymatic hydrolysis. Modulating product characteristics by processing can be very useful to steer the gastric behavior of protein, and the subsequent digestion and AA absorption and muscle anabolic response to maintain or increase muscle mass.

Abstract
Knowledge about how molecular properties of proteins affect their digestion kinetics is crucial to understand protein postprandial plasma amino acid (AA) responses. Previously it was found that a native whey protein isolate (NWPI) and heat denatured whey protein isolate (DWPI) elicit comparable postprandial plasma AA peak concentrations in neonatal piglets, while a protein base ingredient for infant formula (PBI, a β-casein-native whey protein mixture) caused a 39% higher peak AA concentration than NWPI. We hypothesized that both whey protein denaturation by heat as well as changing protein composition by including β-casein, increases the rate of intact protein loss, and that changing the protein composition (by including β-casein), but not whey protein denaturation, yields a faster absorbable product release. Therefore NWPI (91% native), DWPI (91% denatured) and PBI hydrolysis was investigated in a semi-dynamic in vitro digestion model (SIM). NWPI and DWPI hydrolysis were also compared in a dynamic digestion model with dialysis (TIM-1) to exclude potential product inhibition effects that may occur in a closed vessel digestion model as SIM. In both models, the degree of hydrolysis (DH), loss of intact protein, and release of absorbable products (SIM: <0.5 kDa peptides and free AA, TIM-1: bioaccessible AA) were monitored. Additionally, in SIM, intermediate product amounts and their characteristics were determined. DWPI showed considerably faster intact protein loss, but similar DH and absorbable product release kinetics compared with NWPI in both models. Furthermore, more, relatively large, intermediate products were released from DWPI than from NWPI. PBI showed increased intact protein loss, similar DH, and absorbable product release kinetics, but more, relatively small, intermediate products than NWPI. In conclusion, both whey protein denaturation and β-casein inclusion increased the rate of intact protein loss without affecting absorbable product release during in vitro digestion. Our results suggest that intermediate digestion product characteristics are important in relation to postprandial AA responses.

Abstract
Laird’s Large tamarillo powder is high in protein (10%) essential amino acids (EAAs), gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and polyphenols (0.6% phenolics plus anthocyanins) and fibre 25%. This study aimed to investigate, using a standardized static in vitro digestion model, the stability of amino acids and antioxidant capacity of polyphenols in yoghurt fortified with 5, 10 and 15% tamarillo powder either before (PRE) or after (POS) fermentation. Compared to plain yoghurt, the fruit polyphenols (rutinosides and glycosides) were retained and substantial increases in FEAAs (free essential amino acids), total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity were observed particularly at the end of intestinal phase of digestion. Together with SDS-PAGE results, peptides and proteins in tamarillo yoghurts were more easily digested and therefore may be better absorbed in the small intestine compared to the control. TPC and antioxidant activity of fortified yoghurts increased significantly after in vitro digestion. Relatively high bioaccessibilty of chlorogenic acid and kaempferol-3-rutinoside in digested PRE samples was observed. The results suggest that the yoghurt matrix might protect some compounds from degradation, increasing bioaccessibility and in the small intestine allow increased absorption and utilization possible. Fortification would deliver intact polyphenols and fibre to the large intestine and improve gut health. Further research of acceptability, shelf life, and then trials for health effects should be implemented.

Whey-Adapted versus Natural Cow's Milk Formulation: Distinctive Feeding Responses and Post-Ingestive c-Fos Expression in Laboratory Mice. Foods 2022; 11:foods11020141.

Abstract
The natural 20:80 whey:casein ratio in cow’s milk (CM) for adults and infants is adjusted to reflect the 60:40 ratio of human milk, but the feeding and metabolic consequences of this adjustment have been understudied. In adult human subjects, the 60:40 CM differently affects glucose metabolism and hormone release than the 20:80 CM. In laboratory animals, whey-adapted goat’s milk is consumed in larger quantities. It is unknown whether whey enhancement of CM would have similar consequences on appetite and whether it would affect feeding-relevant brain regulatory mechanisms. In this set of studies utilizing laboratory mice, we found that the 60:40 CM was consumed more avidly than the 20:80 control formulation by animals motivated to eat by energy deprivation and by palatability (in the absence of hunger) and that this hyperphagia stemmed from prolongation of the meal. Furthermore, in two-bottle choice paradigms, whey-adapted CM was preferred against the natural 20:80 milk. The intake of the whey-adapted CM induced neuronal activation (assessed through analysis of c-Fos expression in neurons) in brain sites promoting satiation, but importantly, this activation was less pronounced than after ingestion of the natural 20:80 whey:casein CM. Activation of hypothalamic neurons synthesizing anorexigenic neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) was also less robust after the 60:40 CM intake than after the 20:80 CM. Pharmacological blockade of the OT receptor in mice led to an increase in the consumption only of the 20:80 CM, thus, of the milk that induced greater activation of OT neurons. We conclude that the whey-adapted CM is overconsumed compared to the natural 20:80 CM and that this overconsumption is associated with weakened responsiveness of central networks involved in satiety signalling, including OT.

Abstract
Micellar casein (MC) is a natural carrier for delivering various bioactive substances, and its gastrointestinal digestion behavior has an important impact on the loaded materials. Studies have shown that the digestion behavior of MC is dominated by colloidal calcium phosphate (CCP) in micelle structure. In this paper, The MCs with different CCP levels were used as the carriers to prepare spray-dried microparticles loaded with blueberry anthocyanins (ACNs), then the release of ACNs during digestion was investigated. The results found that the microparticles with less CCP showed the faster dissolution and quicker protein hydrolysis, which caused weaker curd ability. The coagulation was believed as the critical issue to influence the digestion and release behaviors. Therefore, lowering CCP resulted in significantly more ACNs released. This study demonstrated the possibility of using CCP levels to control MC digestion behaviors, which can further determine the release of loaded bioactive substances in casein-based delivery systems.

Abstract
The gastric digestion behavior of differently processed goat milks was investigated using a dynamic in vitro gastric digestion model, the human gastric simulator. Homogenization and heat treatment of goat milk resulted in gastric clots with highly fragmented structures. They also delayed the pH reduction during digestion, altered the chemical composition of the clots and the emptied digesta, promoted the release of calcium from the clots, and accelerated the hydrolysis and the emptying of milk proteins. The apparent density of the protein particles and the location of the homogenized fat globules changed during the digestion process, as shown in the emptied digesta of the homogenized goat milks. The effects of processing on the digestion behavior of goat milk were broadly similar to those previously reported for cow milk. However, the overall gastric digestion process of goat milk was more affected by homogenization than by heat treatments.

Abstract
The emulsification of vegetable protein is closely related to solubility. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of ultrasound on protein emulsification and to provide a prospective method for assessing the digestive properties of emulsions. In this article, we investigate the emulsion stability of ultrasonic pretreated soy protein isolate (SPI), and its three storage proteins, namely β-conglycinin (7S), lipophilic protein (LP), and glycinin (11S), under dynamic gastric conditions. The effects of these emulsions on lipolysis during digestion in the small intestine are also assessed using an in vitro dynamic human stomach simulator and a small intestine model. Particle size and ζ-potential measurements, as well as confocal laser scanning microscopy, revealed that during dynamic gastric digestion, the flocculation degree and floc size of 7S and soybean LP emulsions are larger than that of 11S and SPI emulsions. Meanwhile, ultrasound pretreatment of the proteins was found to prevent the agglomeration of the emulsion in a dynamic gastric environment. Moreover, enhanced flocculation delayed oil droplet delivery to the small intestine and subsequently retarded the release of lipophilic nutrients. The droplet size, molecular weight, and protein secondary structures of the ultrasonicated proteins were conducive to relatively higher rates and degrees of lipolysis in intestinal digestion than those of unsonicated proteins. Additionally, the slow-release effect of LP was superior to that of 11S and SPI, whereas 7S was comparatively more difficult to digest. The present study elucidated the fate of soy protein in the digestive tract and may facilitate microstructural food design to regulate physiological responses during digestion.

Abstract
Milk is commonly exposed to processing including homogenization and thermal treatment before consumption, and this processing could have an impact on its digestion behavior in the stomach. In this study, we investigated the in vitro gastric digestion behavior of differently processed sheep milks. The samples were raw, pasteurized (75 °C/15 s), homogenized (200/20 bar at 65 °C)-pasteurized, and homogenized-heated (95 °C/5 min) milks. The digestion was performed using a dynamic in vitro gastric digestion system, the human gastric simulator with simulated gastric fluid without gastric lipase. The pH, structure, and composition of the milks in the stomach and the emptied digesta, and the rate of protein hydrolysis were examined. Curds formed from homogenized and heated milk had much looser and more fragmented structures than those formed from unhomogenized milk; this accelerated the curd breakdown, protein digestion and promoted the release of protein, fat, and calcium from the curds into the digesta. Coalescence and flocculation of fat globules were observed during gastric digestion, and most of the fat globules were incorporated into the emptied protein/peptide particles in the homogenized milks. The study provides a better understanding of the gastric emptying and digestion of processed sheep milk under in vitro gastric conditions.
