Abstract
The common belief that heat treatment enhances the gastric digestion of proteins is largely based on findings from animal proteins and may not apply to all proteins, particularly plant proteins. Here, we compared the digestion characteristics of soybean protein isolates (SPI) in an in vitro semi-dynamic digestion model and found distinct effects of heat treatment on the digestion properties of plant proteins. The results revealed that heat-treated SPIs formed clots during the early stages of digestion, although the clots gradually became smaller and looser as digestion progressed, the systems remained turbid at the end of gastric digestion, indicating the lag in their emptying. Furthermore, heat treatment altered the rheological properties of SPI, resulting in increased viscosity and slower gastric emptying. These effects became more pronounced with increasing heat treatment temperatures. The fluorescence spectrum analysis indicated that heat treatment altered its conformation. This led to protein unfolding and exposure of hydrophobic groups, facilitating the formation of larger aggregates during digestion. Additionally, heat treatment exposed more cleavage sites for gastric proteases, increasing the extent of hydrolysis. Elevated levels of free amino acids and a smaller molecular weight distribution further corroborated these findings. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the gastric digestion characteristics of plant proteins and the relationship between protein aggregation structure and the digestion process.

Food Res Int 2024; 186:114336. [PMID: 38729713 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114336] [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: 08/26/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Alternative milk products such as A2 milk are gaining popular stand within consumer market, for their healthy profile and expected greater digestibility characteristics. However, total mineral content and its bioaccessible profile have lacked in studies through the years, even more because of their relevance in public health. The present study aimed to evaluate the mineral profile of commercial A2 bovine milk (AT) and estimate the bioaccessibility of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium using the INFOGEST protocol. Non-A2 samples (NAT) were evaluated for comparison purpose. The determination of Ca, Mg, Na and K was performed by FAAS and total P was quantified by colorimetric method. Total protein content was determined by Kjeldahl method. Free amino acids were quantified by OPA method along the in vitro digestion stages. Total content of Ca, Na and P exhibited equivalent results between samples, although A2 milk showed elevated levels of total Mg and K in the analyzed batches. AT showed protein content equivalent to NAT. In addition, levels of free NH2 were observed 2 times higher in AT, during the first hour of pancreatic phase in the intestinal digestion. Bioaccessibility of Ca showed equivalent percentages for AT (12-42 %) and NAT (10-39 %). The observed low values were possibly derived from interferences with saturated fatty acids and standardized electrolytes during digestion. Similar amounts of bioaccessible Mg were found for all milk samples (35-97 %), while A2 samples evidenced percentages of bioaccessible P exceeding 60 % across the three batches. Despite the health benefits associated to A2 milk, the study did not evidence clear distinction from non-A2 milk in terms of enhanced essential mineral solubility in digestive tract simulation, considering the association of greater digestibility expected for A2 milk.

Abstract
Encapsulation technologies have achieved encouraging results improving the stability, bioaccessibility and absorption of bioactive compounds post-consumption. There is a bulk of published research on the gastrointestinal behavior of encapsulated bioactive food materials alone using in vitro and in vivo digestion models, but an aspect often overlooked is the impact of the food structure, which is much more complex to unravel and still not well understood. This review focuses on discussing the recent findings in the application of encapsulated bioactive components in fabricated food matrices. Studies have suggested that the integration of encapsulated bioactive compounds has been proven to have an impact on the physicochemical characteristics of the finished product in addition to the protective effect of encapsulation on the fortified bioactive compound. These products containing bioactive compounds undergo further structural reorganization during digestion, impacting the release and emptying rates of fortified bioactive compounds. Thus, by manipulation of various food structures and matrices, the release and delivery of these bioactive compounds can be altered. This knowledge provides new opportunities for designing specialized foods for specific populations.

Abstract
Modification of dairy proteins during processing impacts structural assemblies, influencing textural and nutritional properties of dairy products, and release and availability of amino acids during digestion. By modifying only pH, acid heat-set bovine dairy gels with divergent textural properties were developed to alter protein digestion. In vitro assay confirmed faster digestion of protein from a firm gel (pH 5.65) versus a soft gel (pH 6.55). We hypothesised that firm gel (FIRM-G; pH 5.6) would result in greater indispensable amino acid (IAA) appearance in circulation over 5 h and corresponding differences in gastric myoelectrical activity relative to soft gel (SOFT-G; pH 6.2). In a randomised, single-blind cross-over trial, healthy females (n = 20) consumed 150 g of each gel; plasma amino acid appearance was assessed over 5 hours. Iso-nitrogenous, iso-caloric gels were prepared from identical mixtures of bovine milk and whey protein concentrates; providing 17.7 g (FIRM-G) and 18.9 g (SOFT-G) of protein per serving. Secondary outcomes included gastric myoelectrical activity measured by body surface gastric mapping, glycaemic, triglyceridaemic, and subjective appetite and digestive responses. Overall plasma IAA (area under the curve) did not differ between gels. However, plasma IAA concentrations were higher, and increased more rapidly over time after SOFT-G compared with FIRM-G (1455 ± 53 versus 1350 ± 62 μmol L-1 at 30 min, p = 0.024). Similarly, total, branched-chain and dispensable amino acids were higher at 30 min with SOFT-G than FIRM-G (total: 3939 ± 97 versus 3702 ± 127 μmol L-1, p = 0.014; branched-chain: 677 ± 30 versus 619 ± 34 μmol L-1, p = 0.047; dispensable: 2334 ± 53 versus 2210 ± 76 μmol L-1, p = 0.032). All other measured parameters were similar between gels. Peak postprandial aminoacidaemia was higher and faster following ingestion of SOFT-G. Customised plasma amino acid appearance from dairy is achievable by altering gel coagulum structure using pH during processing and may have minimal influence on related postprandial responses, with implications for targeting food design for optimal health.

Heat Treatment and Homogenization Influence the Gastric Digestion of Bovine Milk Protein in Growing Pigs as an Adult Human Model. J Nutr 2024:S0022-3166(24)00238-4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bovine milk processing influences the structure of the curd formed during gastric digestion, which may alter gastric protein hydrolysis and impact amino acid (AA) release into the small intestine. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the influence of heat treatment and homogenization on the gastric protein digestion and AA emptying of bovine milk. METHODS Nine-wk-old pigs (n = 144) consumed either raw, pasteurized nonhomogenized (PNH), pasteurized homogenized (PH), or ultra-high-temperature homogenized (UHT) bovine milk for 10 d. On day 11, fasted pigs received the milk treatment (500 mL) before gastric contents were collected at 0, 20, 60, 120, 180, and 300 min postprandially. The apparent degree of gastric protein hydrolysis (based on the release of free amino groups), apparent gastric disappearance of individual proteins [based on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gel band intensity], and the gastric emptying of digested protein and AA were determined. RESULTS During the first 60 min, the rate of apparent gastric protein hydrolysis was fastest in pigs fed UHT milk (0.29%/min compared with on average 0.07%/min in pigs fed raw, PNH, and PH milk). Differences in the apparent degree of gastric protein hydrolysis and emptying were reflected in the rate of digested protein entering the small intestine. The AA gastric emptying half-time was generally shorter in pigs fed PH and UHT milk than in pigs fed raw and PNH milk. For example, the gastric release of total essential AA was >2-fold faster (P < 0.01) in pigs fed PH or UHT milk than that in pigs fed raw or PNH milk (i.e., homogenized compared with nonhomogenized milk). CONCLUSIONS Heat treatment and homogenization increased the apparent gastric degree of protein hydrolysis and the release of digested protein into the small intestine. However, the rate of AA entering the small intestine was mainly increased by homogenization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heat treatments of dairy, including pasteurization and ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing, alter milk macromolecular structures, and ultimately affect digestion. In vitro, animal, and human studies show faster nutrient release or circulating appearance after consuming UHT milk (UHT-M) compared with pasteurized milk (PAST-M), with a faster gastric emptying (GE) rate proposed as a possible mechanism. OBJECTIVES To investigate the impact of milk heat treatment on GE as a mechanism of faster nutrient appearance in blood. We hypothesized that GE and circulating nutrient delivery following consumption would be faster for UHT-M than PAST-M. METHODS In this double-blind randomized controlled cross-over trial, healthy female (n = 20; 27.3 ± 1.4 y, mean ± SD) habitual dairy consumers, consumed 500 mL of either homogenized bovine UHT-M or PAST-M (1340 compared with 1320 kJ). Gastric content volume (GCV) emptying half-time (T50) was assessed over 3 h by magnetic resonance imaging subjective digestive symptoms, plasma amino acid, lipid and B vitamin concentrations, and gastric myoelectrical activity were measured over 5 h. RESULTS Although GCV T50 did not differ (102 ± 7 min compared with 89 ± 8 min, mean ± SEM, UHT-M and PAST-M, respectively; P = 0.051), GCV time to emptying 25% of the volume was 31% longer following UHT-M compared with PAST-M (42 ± 2 compared with 32 ± 4 min, P = 0.004). Although GCV remained larger for a longer duration following UHT-M (treatment × time interaction, P = 0.002), plasma essential amino acid AUC was greater following UHT-M than PAST-M (55,324 ± 3809 compared with 36,598 ± 5673 μmol·min·L-1, P = 0.006). Heat treatment did not impact gastric myoelectrical activity, plasma appetite hormone markers or subjective appetite scores. CONCLUSIONS Contrary to expectations, GE was slower with UHT-M, yet, as anticipated, aminoacidemia was greater. The larger GCV following UHT-M suggests that gastric volume may poorly predict circulating nutrient appearance from complex food matrices. Dairy heat treatment may be an effective tool to modify nutrient release by impacting digestion kinetics. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY www.anzctr.org.au (ACTRN12620000172909).

Abstract
Camel milk (CM), known for its immune-regulatory, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and antidiabetic properties, is a natural healthy food. It is easily digestible due to the high levels of β-casein and diverse secreted antibodies, exhibiting superior antibacterial and antiviral activities compared with bovine milk. β-casein is less allergic and more digestible because it is more susceptible to digestive hydrolysis in the gut; therefore, higher levels of β-casein make CM advantageous for human health. Furthermore, antibodies help the digestive system by destroying the antigens, which are then overwhelmed and digested by macrophages. The connection between the gut microbiota and human health has gained substantial research attention, as it offers potential benefits and supports disease treatment. The gut microbiota has a vital role in regulating the host's health because it helps in several biological functions, such as protection against pathogens, immune function regulation, energy harvesting from digested foods, and reinforcement of digestive tract biochemical barriers. These functions could be affected by the changes in the gut microbiota profile, and gut microbiota differences are associated with several diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, colon cancer, irritable bowel disorder, mental illness, allergy, and obesity. This review focuses on the digestibility of CM components, particularly protein and fat, and their influence on gut microbiota modulation. Notably, the hypoallergenic properties and small fat globules of CM contribute to its enhanced digestibility. Considering the rapid digestion of its proteins under conditions simulating infant gastrointestinal digestion, CM exhibits promise as a potential alternative for infant formula preparation due to the high β-/αs-casein ratio and protective proteins, in addition to the absence of β-lactoglobulin.

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.

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
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
Ruminant milk is known to coagulate into structured clots during gastric digestion. This study investigated the movements of moisture and acid in skim milk clots formed during dynamic gastric digestion and the effects of milk type (regular or calcium-rich) and the presence/absence of pepsin. We conducted hyperspectral imaging analysis and successfully modelled the moisture contents based on the spectral information using partial least squares regression. We generated prediction maps of the spatiotemporal distribution of moisture within the samples at different stages of gastric digestion. Simultaneously to acid uptake, the moisture in the milk clots tended to decrease over the digestion time; this was significantly promoted by pepsin. Moisture mapping by hyperspectral imaging demonstrated that the high and low moisture zones were centralized within the clot and at the surface respectively. A structural compaction process promoted by pepsinolysis and acidification probably contributed to the water expulsion from the clots during digestion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking milk are often attributed to lactose intolerance or cow's milk allergy. However, some individuals without either condition still report gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking milk. This may be caused by gastric emptying (GE) rate or gastric protein coagulation. This study aimed to compare GE rate and protein coagulation after milk consumption between individuals reporting gastrointestinal symptoms and those without symptoms using a novel gastric MRI approach. METHODS Thirty women were included in this case-control study, of whom 15 reported gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking milk and 15 were controls. Participants underwent gastric MRI before and up to 90 min after consumption of 250 mL cow's milk. Gastric content volume and image texture of the stomach contents were used to determine GE and changes in the degree of coagulation. KEY RESULTS GE half-time did not differ between the groups (gastrointestinal symptom group 66 ± 18 min; control group 61 ± 14 min, p = 0.845). The gastrointestinal symptom group reported symptoms from 30 min onwards and rated pain highest at 90 min. The control group reported no symptoms. Image texture analyses showed a significantly higher percentage of coagulum and lower percentage of liquid in the group in the GI symptom group (MD 11%, 95% CI [3.9, 17], p = 0.003). In vitro data suggests that pH and proteolytic enzyme activity influence the coagulum structure. CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES Gastric milk coagulation and emptied fraction of stomach content may differ between individuals experiencing symptoms after milk consumption, possibly due to differences in pH and proteolytic enzyme activity.

Abstract
The rates of dietary protein digestion and absorption can be significantly increased or decreased by food processing treatments such as heating, gelling and enzymatic hydrolysis, with subsequent metabolic impacts, e.g. on muscle synthesis and glucose homeostasis.This review examines in vivo evidence that industrial and domestic food processing modify the kinetics of amino acid release and absorption following a protein-rich meal. It focuses on studies that used compositionally-matched test meals processed in different ways.Food processing at extremely high temperature at alkaline pH and/or in the presence of reducing sugars can modify amino acid sidechains, leading to loss of bioavailability. Some protein-rich food ingredients are deliberately aggregated, gelled or hydrolysed during manufacture. Hydrolysis accelerates protein digestion/absorption and increases splanchnic utilisation. Aggregation and gelation may slow or accelerate proteolysis in the gut, depending on the aggregate/gel microstructure.Milk, beef and eggs are heat processed prior to consumption to eliminate pathogens and improve palatability. The temperature and time of heating affect protein digestion and absorption rates, and effects are sometimes non-linear. In light of a dietary transition away from animal proteins, more research is needed on how food processing affects digestion and absorption of non-animal proteins.Food processing modifies the microstructure of protein-rich foods, and thereby alters protein digestion and absorption kinetics in the stomach and small intestine. Exploiting this principle to optimise metabolic outcomes requires more human clinical trials in which amino acid absorption rates are measured and food microstructure is explicitly considered, measured and manipulated.

Modulation of soy protein immunoreactivity by different matrix structures of lactic acid bacterium-induced soy protein gels: Epitope destruction during in vitro gastroduodenal digestion and absorption. Food Res Int 2023; 173:113281.

Abstract
Soy allergy is a common health problem. Food structure may change the gastroduodenal digestion and absorption of soy proteins, thus leading to the modulation of the immunoreactivity of soy proteins. In this study, lactic acid bacterium (LAB)-fermented soy protein isolates (FSPIs) were prepared at four concentrations (0.2 %-5.0 %, w/v) to present various matrix structures (nongel, NG; weak gel, WG; medium gel, MG; and firm gel, FG) and subjected to in vitro dynamic gastroduodenal digestion model. The results of sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent and human serum IgE binding capacity assays demonstrated that FSPI gels, especially the FSPI-MG/WG digestates obtained at the early and medium stages of duodenal digestion (D-5 and D-30), possessed greater potency in immunoreactivity reduction than FSPI-NG and reduced to 1.9 %-68.3 %. The transepithelial transport study revealed that the immunoreactivity of FSPI-MG/WG D-5 and D-30 digestates decreased through the stimulation of interferon-γ production and the induction of dominant Th1/Th2 differentiation. Peptidomics and bioinformatics analyses illustrated that compared with FSPI-NG, the FSPI-gel structure promoted the epitope degradation of the major allergens glycinin G2/G5, β-conglycinin α/β subunit, P34, lectin, trypsin inhibitor, and basic 7S globulin. Spatial structure analysis showed that FSPI-gel elicited an overall promotion in the degradation of allergen epitopes located in interior and exterior regions and was dominated by α-helix and β-sheet secondary structures, whereas FSPI-MG/WG promoted the degradation of epitopes located in the interior region of glycinin/β-conglycinin and exterior region of P34/basic 7S globulin. This study suggested that the FSPI-gel structure is a promising food matrix for decreasing the allergenic potential of allergenic epitopes during gastroduodenal digestion and provided basic information on the production of hypoallergenic soy products.

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
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
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
Caseins are the main proteins in milk, and their structure and spatial conformation are responsible for their slow digestion rate. The release of bioactive and β-casomorphin peptides from casein digestion may induce allergic responses during consumption. Spectroscopic techniques were used to observe the structural changes in casein conformation induced by Ultraviolet light irradiation (UV-C). Raman spectroscopy results showed more pronounced peaks at 618 and 640 cm-1 for phenylalanine and tyrosine moieties of the photolyzed micellar casein, respectively, suggesting changes in the micelle structure. The decrease in the intensity of Raman signals for tryptophan and tyrosine corroborates to the UV-C-induced modifications of the micelle structure. Particle size distribution showed a decrease in the average micelle size after 15 min of UV-C exposure, while low-temperature, long-time (LTLT) pasteurization led to the formation of large aggregates, as observed by atomic force microscopy. UV-C did not impact the formation or transport of peptides, as observed by using the Caco-2 cell as a model for peptide absorption. However, the absence of the opioid peptide SRYPSY from κ-casein and only 20% of the concentration of opioid peptide RYLGY were noted. This work demonstrated that UV-C can be utilized to induce the physicochemical modification of dairy products, promoting a higher digestion rate and reducing allergenicity.

Abstract
The centrifugation presterilizing UHT (C-UHT) sterilization method removes 90% of the microorganism and somatic cells from raw milk using high-speed centrifugation following UHT treatment. This study aimed to study the changes in protein composition and plasmin in the UHT and C-UHT milk. The digestive characteristics, composition, and peptide spectrum of milk protein sterilized with the 2 technologies were studied using a dynamic digestive system of a simulated human stomach. The Pierce bicinchoninic acid assay, laser scanning confocal microscope, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and AA analysis were used to study the digestive fluid at different time points of gastric digestion in vitro. The results demonstrated that C-UHT milk had considerably higher protein degradation than UHT milk. Different processes resulted during the cleavage of milk proteins at different sites during digestion, resulting in different derived peptides. The results showed there was no significant effect of UHT and C-UHT on the peptide spectrum of milk proteins, but C-UHT could release relatively more bioactive peptides and free AA.

Abstract
Soya-dairy protein blends can extend post-exercise muscle synthesis in young people more than whey protein control. Older adults differ metabolically from young people, and their ability to absorb amino acids from dietary protein is important for muscle function. The objective was to determine how protein source affects postprandial plasma amino acid response and/or metabolomic profile in older adults via a single-blind randomised crossover trial (n 16, males 50-70 years), using three nutritionally equivalent meal replacement drinks containing 30 g protein, from a 1:1 (mass ratio) soya:dairy blend, a 1:2 soya:dairy blend or whey protein. The outcome measures were plasma amino acid concentrations at 0-300 min postprandially and urine metabolomic fingerprint. Soya:dairy drinks gave similar amino acid response in plasma over time and similar urinary metabolite fingerprints. However, there were significant differences in plasma amino acid concentrations and AUC values for the soya:dairy drinks v. the whey protein drink. AUC for Leu, Trp and Lys was lower and AUC for Phe and Pro was higher for the soya:dairy drinks. Differences partly reflected the amino acid profiles of the drinks, but overall plasma amino acid response patterns were qualitatively unchanged. Plasma amino acid differences between the whey protein drink and the soya:dairy blends were reflected in urine metabolite patterns. In conclusion, postprandial plasma amino acid responses were broadly similar, irrespective of protein source (and soya:dairy ratio). There were significant differences for some plasma amino acid concentrations, reflecting different amino acid profiles of the protein source and influencing urine metabolite fingerprints.

Abstract
Milk powder is an important ingredient in various foods and pediatric formulations. The textural and digestion properties of the formulations depend on the preheat treatment of the milk powder during manufacture. Thus, it is interesting to know how these modifications can influence on the release of fortified bioactive compounds during digestion with a milk matrix. In this study, a curcumin nanoemulsion was incorporated into milks reconstituted from low-heat, medium-heat and high-heat skim milk powders (SMPs) and the milks were subjected to semi dynamic in vitro digestion. All the recombined milk systems formed a curd under gastric conditions, which reduced the gastric emptying of protein and curcumin-loaded oil droplets. Because of the formation of heat-induced casein/whey protein complexes, the open fragmented curd formed by the high-heat-treated reconstituted powder resulted in higher protein and oil droplets emptying to the intestine and higher curcumin bioaccessibility. This study provides useful information for how protein ingredients can govern the fate of added health-promoting compounds during digestion.

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
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. High-pressure processing (HPP) modified physicochemical properties of bovine milk. HPP influenced the structure of bovine milk clots during in vitro gastric digestion. More intense pressure resulted in a looser and more fragmented clot structure. HPP resulted in more rapid hydrolysis of the caseins.

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 present work investigated effects of high-temperature pressure cooking (HP) on physico-chemical properties and in vitro protein digestibility of cold-grind soymilk (CS) and blanched soymilk (BS). Confocal laser scanning microscopy presented that proteins and lipids in BS were obviously coalesced compared with CS, while HP treatment contributed to homogeneous dispersion of protein and lipid. Particle size of the BS and BSHP were larger than that of CS and CSHP. Tertiary structure of protein suggested that hydrophobic interactions and disulfide bonds in CS and CSHP were main force among protein molecules. Meanwhile hydrophobic interactions were account for 70% of the total bonds in BS and BSHP. The maximum fluorescence excitation wavelength (λmax) of BSHP (349.0 nm) was shown a red shift compared with CS (346.5 nm). For secondary structure of protein, β-sheet was 30.61% in CS, while CSHP, BS and BSHP decreased by 2.65%, 5.73% and 7.77%, respectively. Thus, the protein in BS and BSHP were evidently aggregated, loose and disorder; while the CS and CSHP protein were dense and orderly. Also, HP treatment led to loose and unordered protein structure. Moreover, the in vitro digestibility was BSHP > BS > CSHP > CS. The difference in digestibility of four soymilk was determined by the protein structure. Sensory evaluation showed that blanching treatment effectively reduced beany flavor and HP decreased the diameter of oil bodies of BS, which led to smooth mouth feel and thus the highest global impression of BSHP.

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.

Abstract
Casein (CN) micelles will coagulate in the stomach after ingestion, which is similar to the cheesemaking process. Although genetic variants of bovine proteins, especially κ-CN, have been confirmed to influence the coagulation properties of the CN micelle, its influence on milk digestibility has not been revealed yet. This study aimed to investigate how genetic variants, glycosylation degree of κ-CN, and CN micelle size influence digestion rates during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. Three milk pools, representing κ-CN phenotypes of either AA, BB, or AB composition were prepared from milk of individual Danish Holstein cows representing these different genotypes. In vitro digestion of the 3 milk pools, AA, BB, or AB, was investigated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and degree of hydrolysis. The results showed that κ-CN AA milk had faster digestion rate in the gastric phase compared with BB and AB milks, whereas only small differences were apparent in the intestinal digestion phase. The results further documented that the milk pools representing κ-CN phenotypes BB and AB had comparable overall glycosylation degrees (50.9% and 50.0%, respectively) and higher than that of the AA milk pool (46.9%). Further, the AA milk pool was associated with larger CN micelles. These differences in CN micelle sizes and glycosylation degrees can be part of underlying explanations for the differential in vitro digestion rates observed between the AA, BB, and AB κ-CN milk pools.

Abstract
The behavior of fat globules during the gastric digestion of raw and pasteurized cow, goat, and sheep whole milks was studied using a human gastric simulator. Microstructural and physicochemical analysis revealed that, initially, the coagulation of the milks in the human gastric simulator resulted in the majority of the milk fat globules being entrapped within the curd. As the digestion progressed, the proportion of fat globules entrapped within the aggregated protein matrix (curd) decreased; there was also some flocculation as well as coalescence of the fat globules within the curd. The liberation of the entrapped fat globules from the curd to the liquid phase of the chyme was strongly dependent on the disintegration and hydrolysis of the structured casein network. Surprisingly, the fat globules released (or already present) into the liquid phase of the chyme were not as extensively coalesced as those remaining within the curd. These phenomena were observed to be similar for the raw and pasteurized whole milk of all species. The pasteurized whole milks from all species formed relatively less structured coagula compared with their raw milk counterparts, leading to a greater extent of protein breakdown and, thus, higher proportions of fat release from the pasteurized milk curds. This study provides a deeper understanding of how the curd-forming properties of different mammalian milks in the gastric environment provide controlled delivery of nutrients (such as protein and fat).

Abstract
Recent research indicates that the food matrix can influence digestion kinetics and uptake of nutrients, thus affecting human health. The aim of this study was to obtain knowledge on how variations in microstructure and texture of foods represented by four dairy products; (i) cheddar cheese, (ii) a homogenized cheddar cheese, (iii) a micellar casein and cream drink or (iv) a micellar casein and cream gel, all of identical nutrient ratios of protein : fat and calcium : fat, affect the in vitro digestibility kinetics of lipids. Rheology of the four dairy structures was measured at 10 °C and 37 °C before digestion, and during the gastric phase of in vitro digestion. During digestion cheddar cheese was most resistant to enzymatic and mechanical disintegration, followed by homogenized cheese, while both the drink and gel had low resistance and dissolved in the gastric juice. Particle size, fat droplet size and microstructure were assessed by light scattering and confocal microscopy during digestion. Significantly larger fat droplets were observed during digestion of the cheddar cheese sample. The release of free fatty acids during the initial intestinal digestion showed cheddar cheese to provide a significantly lower release than homogenized cheese, whereas the drink and gel both had significantly higher free fatty acid release. The results suggest that the cheese matrix resistance to degradation and its large fat droplets were responsible for a slower fat digestion.
