The bile salt/phospholipid ratio determines the extent of in vitro intestinal lipolysis of triglycerides: Interfacial and emulsion studies. Food Res Int 2024; 187:114421. [PMID: 38763671 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114421] [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: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
This study focused on the protein-stabilised triglyceride (TG)/water interfaces and oil-in-water emulsions, and explored the influence of varying molar ratios of bile salts (BSs) and phospholipids (PLs) on the intestinal lipolysis of TGs. The presence of these two major groups of biosurfactants delivered with human bile to the physiological environment of intestinal digestion was replicated in our experiments by using mixtures of individual BSs and PLs under in vitro small intestinal lipolysis conditions. Conducted initially, retrospective analysis of available scientific literature revealed that an average molar ratio of 9:4 for BSs to PLs (BS/PL) can be considered physiological in the postprandial adult human small intestine. Our experimental data showed that combining BSs and PLs synergistically enhanced interfacial activity, substantially reducing oil-water interfacial tension (IFT) during interfacial lipolysis experiments with pancreatic lipase, especially at the BS/PL-9:4 ratio. Other BS/PL molar proportions (BS/PL-6.5:6.5 and BS/PL-4:9) and an equimolar amount of BSs (BS-13) followed in IFT reduction efficiency, while using PLs alone as biosurfactants was the least efficient. In the following emulsion lipolysis experiments, BS/PL-9:4 outperformed other BS/PL mixtures in terms of enhancing the TG digestion extent. The degree of TG conversion and the desorption efficiency of interfacial material post-lipolysis correlated directly with the BS/PL ratio, decreasing as the PL proportion increased. In conclusion, this study highlights the crucial role of biliary PLs, alongside BSs, in replicating the physiological function of bile in intestinal lipolysis of emulsified TGs. Our results showed different contributions of PLs and BSs to lipolysis, strongly suggesting that any future in vitro studies aiming to simulate the human digestion conditions should take into account the impact of biliary PLs - not just BSs - to accurately mimic the physiological role of bile in intestinal lipolysis. This is particularly crucial given the fact that existing in vitro digestion protocols typically focus solely on applying specific concentrations and/or compositions of BSs to simulate the action of human bile during intestinal digestion, while overlooking the presence and concentration of biliary PLs under physiological gut conditions.

Abstract
Human milk provides bioactive compounds such as milk fat globules (MFGs), which promote brain development, modulate the immune system, and hold antimicrobial properties. To ensure microbiological safety, donor milk banks apply heat treatments. This study compares the effects of heat treatments and homogenization on MFG's physicochemical properties, bioactivity, and bioavailability. Vat pasteurization (Vat-PT), retort (RTR), and ultra-high temperature (UHT) were performed with or without homogenization. UHT, RTR, and homogenization increased the colloidal dispersion of globules, as indicated by increased zeta potential. The RTR treatment completely inactivated xanthine oxidase activity (a marker of MFG bioactivity), whereas UHT reduced its activity by 93%. Interestingly, Vat-PT resulted in less damage, with 28% activity retention. Sialic acid, an important compound for brain health, was unaffected by processing. Importantly, homogenization increased the in vitro lipolysis of MFG, suggesting that this treatment could increase the digestibility of MFG. In terms of color, homogenization led to higher L* values, indicating increased whiteness due to finer dispersion of the fat and casein micelles (and thus greater light scattering), whereas UHT and RTR increased b* values associated with Maillard reactions. This study highlights the nuanced effects of processing conditions on MFG properties, emphasizing the retention of native characteristics in Vat-PT-treated human milk.

Abstract
Investigating the gastrointestinal fate of food emulsions is critical to unveil their nutritional relevance. To this end, the protocol standardized by COST INFOGEST 2.0 is meaningful for guiding in vitro digestion experiments. In contrast with studies addressing emulsions with low dispersed phase volume fraction (φ 0.05-0.1), we presently raise some points for a proper interpretation of the digestibility of emulsions with high lipid content using the pH-stat method. Oil-in-water high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) were submitted to gastric pre-lipolysis with the addition of rabbit gastric lipase (RGE). Commercial mayonnaise (φ 0.76) was systematically diluted (φ 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.25, 0.4, and 0.76) to cover a wide range of enzyme-to-lipid ratios (8.5-0.3 U per µmol for RGE and 565.1-18.6 U per µmol for pancreatin, in the gastric and intestinal phases, respectively). Lipolysis was tracked either by fatty acid titration (NaOH titration) or completed by analysis of lipid classes and fatty acid composition. Gastric lipase resulted in substantial lipid hydrolysis, reaching 20 wt% at low lipid fractions (φ 0.025 and 0.05). Likewise, the kinetics and extent of lipolysis during intestinal digestion were modulated by the enzyme-to-substrate ratio. A logarithmic relationship between lipid hydrolysis and lipid concentration was observed, with a very limited extent at the highest lipid content (φ 0.76). A holistic interpretation relying on FFA titration and further evaluation of all lipolytic products appears of great relevance to capture the complexity of the effects involved. Overall, this work contributes to rationally and critically evaluating the outcomes of static in vitro experiments of lipid digestion.

Abstract
The INFOGEST protocol has been widely used as a static in-vitro simulation of gastrointestinal food digestion for bioaccessibility assessments on bioactive compounds. The standardization of the activity of several enzymes, such as pepsin, via UV-spectrophotometry of digested hemoglobin at 280 nm is a key step in the protocol. Standardization is a crucial stage since it is necessary to determine the quantity of enzyme to be added to the sample for digestion. However, this method is yet to be analytically validated; it requires quartz cuvettes and large volumes of samples and is time-consuming. Thus, we reviewed and adapted a well-known colorimetric method in microplates array by using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, and this study is the first to report for miniaturization of this method, the advantages of which include its automation, ease of use, the low volume of samples required, the minimal use of reagents, and speed. This method was compared to the traditional UV method, and the comparison results show no statistical difference between the inter day means for each group (p > 0.05). The proposed method was validated, showing high reproducibility (8% as inter-day CV) and statistically comparable results with the traditional UV spectrophotometric method.

Abstract
A state-of-the-art strategy for the determination of lipase activity in pancreatic preparations using flow injection analysis (FIA) with electrochemical detection (FIA-ED) is described. The procedure is based on the enzymatic reaction of a specific substrate (1,3-dilinoleoyl-glycerol) with lipase from porcine pancreas and determination of enzymatically formed linoleic acid (LA) at +0.4 V by applying a cobalt (II) phthalocyanine-multiwalled carbon-nanotubes modified carbon paste electrode (Co(II)PC/MWCNT/CPE). In order to get a high-performance analytical method, sample preparation, flow system, and electrochemical conditions were optimized. Under optimized conditions the lipase activity of porcine pancreatic lipase was calculated to be 0.47 units per mg lipase protein based on the definition that 1 unit hydrolyses 1 microequivalent linoleic acid from 1,3-dilinoleoyl-glycerol per 1 min at pH 9 and 20 °C (kinetic measurement: 0-25 min). Moreover, the developed procedure was shown to be easily adaptable for the fixed-time assay (incubation time 25 min) as well. In this case, linear correlation between flow signal and lipase activity was found in the range from 0.8 to 18 U L-1. LOD and LOQ were determined to be 0.3 U L-1 and 1 U L-1, respectively. The kinetic assay was further preferred for the determination of lipase activity in commercially available pancreatic preparations. The lipase activities of all preparations obtained by the present method were found to be in good correlation with those obtained by the titrimetric method and declared by manufacturers.

Abstract
The digestion of lipids in the human body has several health and nutritional implications. Lipid digestion is an interfacial phenomenon meaning that water-soluble lipases need to first adsorb to the oil-water interface before enzymatic conversions can start. The digestion of lipids mainly occurs on colloidal structures dispersed in water, such as oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions, which can be designed during food formulation/processing or structured during digestion. From a food design perspective, different in vitro studies have demonstrated that the kinetics of lipid digestion can be influenced by emulsion properties. However, most of these studies have been performed with pancreatic enzymes to simulate lipolysis in the small intestine. Only few studies have dealt with lipid digestion in the gastric phase and its subsequent impact on intestinal lipolysis. In this aspect, this review compiles information on the physiological aspects of gastric lipid digestion. In addition, it deals with colloidal and interfacial aspects starting from emulsion design factors and how they evolve during in vitro digestion. Finally, molecular mechanisms describing gastric lipolysis are discussed.

Abstract
Lipid-based formulations improve the absorption capacity of poorly-water-soluble drugs and digestion of the formulation is a critical step in that absorption process. A recent approach to understanding the propensity for drug to dissolve in digesting lipid-based formulations couples an in vitro pH-stat lipolysis model to small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) by means of a flow-through capillary. However, the conventional pH-stat apparatus used to measure the extent of lipid digestion during such experiments requires digest volumes of 15–30 mL and drug doses of 50–200 mg, which is problematic for scarce compounds and can require excessive amounts of formulation reagents. This manuscript describes an approach to reduce the amount of material required for in vitro lipolysis experiments coupled to SAXS, for use in instances where the amount of drug or formulation medium is limited. Importantly, this was achieved while maintaining the pH stat conditions, which is critical for maintaining biorelevance and driving digestion to completion. The digestibility of infant formula with the poorly-water-soluble drugs halofantrine and clofazimine dispersed into it was measured as an exemplar paediatric-friendly lipid formulation. Halofantrine was incorporated in its powdered free base form and clofazimine was incorporated both as unformulated drug powder and as drug in nanoparticulate form prepared using Flash NanoPrecipitation. The fraction of triglyceride digested was found to be independent of vessel size and the incorporation of drug. The dissolution of the two forms of clofazimine during the digestion of infant formula were then measured using synchrotron SAXS, which revealed complete and partial solubilisation over 30 min of digestion for the powdered drug and nanoparticle formulations, respectively. The main challenge in reducing the volume of the measurements was in ensuring that thorough mixing was occurring in the smaller digestion vessel to provide uniform sampling of the dispersion medium.

Abstract
Lipid-based formulations (LBFs) are used by the pharmaceutical industry in oral delivery systems for both poorly water-soluble drugs and biologics. Digestibility is key for the performance of LBFs and in vitro lipolysis is commonly used to compare the digestibility of LBFs. Results from in vitro lipolysis experiments depend highly on the experimental conditions and formulation characteristics, such as droplet size (which defines the surface area available for digestion) and interfacial structure. This study introduced the intrinsic lipolysis rate (ILR) as a surface area-independent approach to compare lipid digestibility. Pure acylglycerol nanoemulsions, stabilized with polysorbate 80 at low concentration, were formulated and digested according to a standardized pH-stat lipolysis protocol. A methodology originally developed to calculate the intrinsic dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble drugs was adapted for the rapid calculation of ILR from lipolysis data. The impact of surfactant concentration on the apparent lipolysis rate and lipid structure on ILR was systematically investigated. The surfactant polysorbate 80 inhibited lipolysis of tricaprylin nanoemulsions in a concentration-dependent manner. Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations supported these experimental observations. In the absence of bile and phospholipids, tricaprylin was shielded from lipase at 0.25% polysorbate 80. In contrast, the inclusion of bile salt and phospholipid increased the surfactant-free area and improved the colloidal presentation of the lipids to the enzyme, especially at 0.125% polysorbate 80. At a constant and low surfactant content, acylglycerol digestibility increased with decreasing acyl chain length, decreased esterification, and increasing unsaturation. The calculated ILR of pure acylglycerols was successfully used to accurately predict the IRL of binary lipid mixtures. The ILR measurements hold great promise as an efficient method supporting pharmaceutical formulation scientists in the design of LBFs with specific digestion profiles.

Abstract
In this work, a multireactor system to study digestion (MuReDi) kinetics is introduced. For this, a custom-made automated system with four independent syringe pumps (BioXplorer 100, H.E.L Group) was acquired. This system consists of multiple, small-scale reactors allowing to study digestion as a function of time and thus to determine digestion kinetics. The different digestion conditions used in the oral, gastric, and small intestinal phase were based on the digestion protocols published by the INFOGEST consortium. We showed that the minimum working volume of a reactor is 30 mL. Besides, repeatability of the digestion kinetics was shown for two food systems: a liquid Ensure® Plus Vanilla drink, and a solid, cooked lentil sample. When comparing static digestion kinetics with semi-dynamic ones, a significantly different digestion pattern was observed. In the static case, a relatively fast hydrolysis rate was observed until a clear plateau was reached. Oppositely, for the semi-dynamic case, a delayed start of the hydrolysis process was noticed. In the gastric phase, this was explained by the decreasing pH and the large pH dependency of pepsin activity. In the small intestine, the lag phase was relatively shorter, yet clearly present. Here we related it to the gradual enzyme (and bile salt) secretion that had to diffuse towards the substrate before hydrolysis could start. Generally, this work showed that the MuReDi system could be used to perform a semi-dynamic digestion approach which largely impacted the overall digestion kinetics. This is important to consider in future in vitro food digestion simulation work to come closer to physiologically relevant digestion kinetics.

Abstract
The nutritional relevance of food compositional data could be improved by taking the bioaccessibility of these constituents into account. A lack of routine methods to assess the bioaccessibility of fatty acids (FAs) in food is one of the limiting factors of doing so. An analytical protocol is proposed for routine assessment of the extent of lipolysis via in vitro digestion simulation methods in food products. The established method provides specific information on each FA individually. Steps of the protocol including the Bligh and Dyer chloroform/methanol/water extraction of esterified and free FAs from in vitro digesta, methyl ester derivatization, and GC-FID analysis were specifically tailored to help routine work and were harmonized with the Infogest in vitro digestion simulation protocol (both v1.0 and v2.0). The method was applied to assess the degree of FA-specific lipolysis in a baked fish (carp) meal and the results showed that the FA composition of the original food significantly differed from that of the distribution of FFAs in the digesta. The use of gastric lipase (in Infogest v2.0 protocol) increased total FA release by 9.5% and its specific impact on palmitic acid was the most prominent.
