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.

Abstract
The high levels of non-communicable diseases such as CVD and type 2 diabetes mellitus are linked to obesity and poor diet. This continuing emphasis on health in relation to food is proving a powerful driver for the development of cheap but palatable and more functional foods. However, the efficacy of such foods is often hard to prove in human subjects. Thus, a suite of tools has been developed including in silico and in vitro simulations and animal models. Although animal models offer physiologically relevant platforms for research, their use for experimentation is problematic for consumers. Thus, in vitro methods such as Infogest protocols have been developed to provide digestion endpoints or even an indication of the kinetics of digestion. These protocols have been validated for a range of food systems but they still miss the final absorption step. This review discusses the use of such in vitro models and what further steps need to be included to make the bioaccessibility determination more relevant to bioavailability and human health.

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of a bread and cheese meal. Food Res Int 2023; 169:112821.

Abstract
The monitoring of food degradation during gastrointestinal digestion is essential in understanding food structure impacts on the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of nutrients. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has the unique ability to access information on changes in multi-scale structural features of foods in a spatially resolved and non-destructive way. Our objective was to exploit various opportunities offered by MRI for monitoring starch, lipid and protein hydrolysis, as well as food particle breakdown during the semi-dynamic in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of complex foods combined in a meal. The meal consisted of French bread, hard cheese and water (drink), with a realistic distribution of bolus particle sizes. The MRI approach was reinforced by parallel chemical analysis of all macronutrients in the supernatant. By combining different imaging protocols, quantitative MRI provided insights into a number of phenomena at the level of the cheese and bread particles and within the liquid phase that are hard to access through conventional approaches. MRI thus revealed the progressive ingress of fluids into the bread crust and the release of the gas trapped in the crumb, the erosion of cheese particles, the creaming of fat, the disappearance of small food particles and changes in liquid phase composition. Excellent agreement was obtained between the quantitative parameters extracted from the MRI images and the results of the chemical analysis, demonstrating the strong potential of MRI for the monitoring of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. The present study proposes further improvements to fully exploit the capabilities of MRI and constitutes an important step towards the extension of quantitative MRI to in vivo studies.

Abstract
Processing of milk involves heating, which can modify the structure and digestibility of its proteins. In vitro models are useful for studying protein digestion. However, validating these models with in vivo data is challenging. Here, we non-invasively monitor in vitro gastric milk protein digestion by protein-water chemical exchange detected by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) magnetization transfer (MT). We obtained either a fitted composite exchange rate (CER) with a relative standard error of ≤10% or the MT ratio (MTR) of the intensity without or with an off-resonance saturation pulse, from just a single spectral acquisition. Both CER and MTR, affected by the variation in the amount of semi-solid protons, decreased during in vitro gastric digestion in agreement with standard protein content analyses. The decrease was slower in heated milk, indicating slower breakdown of the coagulum. Our results open the way to future quantification of protein digestion in vivo by MRI.

Abstract
Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry imaging of biologically significant targets largely relies on maintaining the original structures of samples. The temperature regulation capability of the ablation cell is crucial. Herein, a rapid cooling cryogenic sample cell (RCCSC) was developed. In the RCCSC chamber, the temperature reduces to -20 °C in 4 min with a minimum 10 h variation of ±0.1 °C at -26 °C. Improvements on the precision were achieved for the elements of interest in NIST 612 and spiked agarose gel under cryogenic conditions. The limits of detection improved by up to 1.57, 1.70, 3.26, and 1.33 fold for 63Cu, 66Zn, 57Fe, and 140Ce in agarose gel, respectively, were obtained under cryogenic conditions compared with those at room temperature. In a time period of testing (10 h), the cryogenic ablation maintains the native state of biological tissues with a high water content to ensure better elemental imaging by reducing thermal effects in ablation and suppressing evaporation of water. The rapid cooling cryogenic ablation significantly improves elemental imaging, as demonstrated by the imaging of various elements in coriander leaves. The present study may provide further insights into elemental distributions in fresh biological samples.

Abstract
The balsamic vinegar of Modena (BVM), a food specialty under the European Protected Geographical Indication system, is made from grape must blended with wine vinegar exclusively in the Italian province of Modena or Reggio Emilia. Vinegar is associated to an improved digestive function and glycemic response to carbohydrate-rich meals, appetite stimulation, and reduction of hyperlipidemia and obesity. Although many of these effects are attributed to the high concentration of bioactive molecules, the modulation of digestive enzymes activity could have a role. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of BVM on the digestibility and component release of three foods that are often seasoned with this dressing but have different composition: Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, Bresaola (cured meat), and boiled potatoes. BVM modulated the protein digestion of protein-rich foods (cheese and cured meat) in a matrix-dependent manner, and the BVM effect was mainly related to the inhibition of pepsin in the gastric phase. In the starch-rich food (boiled potatoes), the most impressive effect of BVM was the lower release of anomeric and total carbohydrates, which was consistent with the observed reduction of pancreatic amylase activity. The present investigation shed a new light on the impact of BVM on the digestion process.

Abstract
Incorporating protein emulsified droplets into protein gels as active fillers have attracted much attention. However, using animal and plant protein mixtures emulsified droplets as the filler is lacking. We investigated the effect of emulsified droplets covered by potato protein (PP) and whey protein (WP) mixtures of different ratios (10/0, 9/1, 7/3, 5/5, 3/7, 1/9, 0/10) on mechanical, microstructural characteristics and digestion of emulsion-filled WP gels (EFWG). The results showed that the particle size of emulsified droplets increased with the enhancement of PP ratio, whereas their ζ-potential value decreased. Increasing the PP ratio improved the elastic moduli (G'), fracture stress and hardness of EFWG, while lowered the water holding capacity and swelling ratios of EFWG. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed that a higher PP ratio leads to a thicker gel skeleton and fine network. Although the enhancement of the PP ratio decreased disulfide bond content in EFWG, it improved the hydrogen bond and total non-covalent interactions in EFWG. Increased PP in filling emulsions delayed the release rate of the free amino group and free fatty acid during digestion. Moreover, the presence of NaCl improved the gel properties and digestion of EFWG. The findings of this study may provide information for developing new WP gel products with specific digestion rates.

Abstract
Phasor analysis is a robust, nonfitting, method for the study of multiexponential decays in lifetime imaging data, routinely used in Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) and only recently validated for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In the established phasor approach, typically only the first Fourier harmonic is used to unravel time-domain exponential trends and their intercorrelations across image voxels. Here, we demonstrate the potential of full-harmonics (FH) phasor analysis by using all frequency-domain data points in simulations and quantitative MRI (qMRI) T2 measurements of phantoms with bulk liquids or liquid-filled porous particles and of a human brain. We show that FH analysis, while of limited advantage in FLIM due to the correlated nature of shot noise, in MRI outperforms single-harmonic phasor in unravelling multiple physical environments and partial-volume effects otherwise undiscernible. We foresee application of FH phasor to, e.g., big-data analysis in qMRI of biological or other multiphase systems, where multiparameter fitting is unfeasible.

Abstract
This review outlines the current use of magnetic resonance (MR) techniques to study digestion and highlights their potential for providing markers of digestive processes such as texture changes and nutrient breakdown. In vivo digestion research can be challenging due to practical constraints and biological complexity. Therefore, digestion is primarily studied using in vitro models. These would benefit from further in vivo validation. NMR is widely used to characterise food systems. MRI is a related technique that can be used to study both in vitro model systems and in vivo gastro-intestinal processes. MRI allows visualisation and quantification of gastric processes such as gastric emptying and coagulation. Both MRI and NMR scan sequences can be configured to be sensitive to different aspects of gastric or intestinal contents. For example, magnetisation transfer and chemical exchange saturation transfer can detect proton (1H) exchange between water and proteins. MRI techniques have the potential to provide molecular-level and quantitative information on in vivo gastric (protein) digestion. This requires careful validation in order to understand what these MR markers of digestion mean in a specific digestion context. Combined with other measures they can be used to validate and inform in vitro digestion models. This may bridge the gap between in vitro and in vivo digestion research and can aid the optimisation of food properties for different applications in health and disease.

Abstract
All foods harbor unique length scale-dependent structural features that can influence the release, transport, and utilization of macro- or micronutrients in the human gastrointestinal tract. In this regard, food destructuring and restructuring processes during gastric passage significantly influence downstream nutrient assimilation and feelings of satiety. This review begins with a synopsis of the effects of oral processing on food structure. Then, stomach-centric factors that contribute to the efficacy of gastric digestion are discussed, and exemplified by comparing the intragastric de- and restructuring of a number of common foods. The mechanisms of how intragastric structuring influences gastric emptying and its relationship to human satiety are then discussed. Finally, recently developed, non-destructive instrumental approaches used to quantitively and qualitatively characterize food behavior during gastric destructuring and restructuring are described.
