The Effect of Gel Microstructure on Simulated Gastric Digestion of Protein Gels
Open accessAbstract
The objective of this study was to analyse the impact of the gel structure obtained by different heat-induced temperatures on the in vitro gastric digestibility at pH 2. To achieve this, gels were prepared from soy protein, pea protein, albumin from chicken egg white and whey protein isolate at varying temperatures (90, 120 and 140 °C) for 30 min. Gels were characterised prior to digestion via microstructure and SDS-PAGE analysis. Subsequently, the gastric digestion process was followed via the protein hydrolysis and HPSEC analysis up to 180 min. Peptides of different sizes (<5 kDa) were gradually formed during the digestion. Our results showed that gels induced at 140 °C were digested faster. The protein source and gelation temperature had great influence on the in vitro gastric protein digestibility.

In the citing paper
“Increased gel texture at higher protein content delayed the gastric empty and the breakdown of gels during digestion, further reducing digestibility.”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn the citing paper
“The denser microstructure and less porosity of protein gels could delay the diffusion of pepsin into gel matrix, showing slower protein hydrolysis (Luo et al. 2017; Opazo‐Navarrete et al. 2018).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
