Insight into the digestion mechanism of proteins in silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) surimi by different alginates
Open accessAbstract
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of potassium alginate (PA), propylene glycol alginate (PGA), and calcium alginate (CA) on the gel properties of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) surimi (control group) throughout gastrointestinal digestion. The findings revealed that the protein digestibility of the PA/PGA and CA groups was found to be lower compared to the control group. Among these groups, the CA group had the lowest digestibility rate at 82.49 ± 3.50 %. The study revealed a reduction in the number of peptides found in the surimi group treated with alginate compared to the control group. Alginate was discovered to have inhibitory effects on proteolysis by forming a robust cross-linked network that obstructs pepsin from accessing its substrates. This research provides valuable insights into the potential application of alginate for improving the digestibility of surimi proteins and creating commercial surimi products.

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.
