Article Abstract

By now, the digestive stability experiments provided by most authoritative organizations are in vitro tests. Evaluating the protein digestive stability with in vivo models should be more objective. The present study aimed to verify the in vivo digestibility of soybean β-conglycinin β-subunit in Wuzhishan (WZS) minipigs. Three minipigs were surgically fitted with O-stomach and T-ileum cannulae and fed with soybean meals. According to SDS-PAGE, the 50 kD fraction of soybean β-conglycinin β-subunit persisted in the gastric fluid until 6 h after feeding, which was detected at 3 h and clearly visible at 4-6 h in the intestinal fluid. Western blot with anti-β-conglycinin β-subunit McAb confirmed it.

Parvalbumin (PV), a thermostable and digestion-resistant fish allergen, has been shown to retain its allergenic potential following traditional treatments, thus posing a persistent allergic risk. The study investigated the digestive kinetics and IgE immunoreactivity of Trachinotus ovatus PV, a major fish allergen, under different treatments (untreated; DPCD treatment-15 MPa, 30 min, 50 °C; heat treatment), to evaluate its allergenic potential alterations. The analysis was conducted using a combination of techniques to assess the proteolytic stability and IgE-binding capacity of PV, including Tris-Tricine-SDS-PAGE, Western blot (WB), indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and free amino group quantification.

Arrowroot starch has been modified using ozone, heat-moisture treatment (HMT), and their sequential combinations. Both treatments increase solubility, water absorption capacity (WAC), and adhesiveness, while reducing pasting viscosities. Ozone treatment also enhances brightness, hardness, gumminess, chewiness, and freeze-thaw stability (0.

Chronic diarrhea is a frequent gastrointestinal complication in both type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), although the underlying mechanisms differ: T1D is linked to autonomic neuropathy and disrupted transporter regulation, while T2D is often linked to medications and intestinal inflammation. Using streptozotocin-induced mouse models of T1D and T2D, we observed increased luminal fluid in the small intestine of both. Given the role of Na⁺/H⁺ exchanger 3 (NHE3) in fluid absorption and its loss in most diarrheal diseases, we examined NHE3 expression across intestinal segments.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease, the incidence of which continues to rise globally, and existing therapeutic options are limited by low drug bioavailability and systemic side effects. In this study, we systematically investigated the challenges of the special gastrointestinal environment of UC patients for oral drug delivery, such as extreme pH, degradation by digestive enzymes, metabolism of intestinal flora and obstruction of the intestinal mucosal barrier, and summarized the potential of plant-derived Exosome-like Nanovesicles (PELNs) as a novel delivery system. PELNs are produced by plant cells and mainly consist of proteins, RNA, lipids and plant active molecules.

Frozen storage deteriorates the texture and digestibility of frozen rice dough by damaging gliadin structure and starch integrity. This study investigated carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMCNa) as cry-oprotectants to mitigate these effects. Comprehensive analysis utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), texture profile analysis (TPA), dynamic contact angle measurement (DCAT21), reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), and circular dichroism (CD) demonstrated that 1.
