Pepsin Diffusivity and In Vitro Gastric Digestion of Soymilk as Affected by Binding of Tea Polyphenols to Soy Proteins.
2021
This study aimed to investigate the effect of tea polyphenol extract (TPE) on the in vitro gastric digestion of soymilk. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching was applied to measure pepsin diffusivity in soymilk. The characteristics of soymilk digesta were evaluated by gel electrophoresis, degree of hydrolysis (DH), molecular weight distribution, free amino acid analysis, particle size, antioxidant capacity, and trypsin/chymotrypsin inhibitor activity (TIA/CIA). The binding between soy proteins and tea polyphenols could significantly impair in vitro gastric digestion of soymilk by decreasing pepsin diffusivity from 91.3 to 70.3 μm2/s and DH from 17.13 to 13.93% with 1.2 mg/g TPE addition. Soymilk with 0.6 mg/g TPE addition exhibited low TIA/CIA and a strong antioxidant capacity in gastric digesta, which might be good for the following intestinal digestion. A better understanding of the effect of polyphenol on the digestion of protein-based food may be beneficial to innovation in food manufacturing.
