The effects of gum arabic, low methylated (LM) pectin or xylan at levels of 0 and 50 wt.% on beta-lactoglobulin (beta-lg) digestibility were studied as well as the interactions between the two macromolecules during in vitro hydrolysis. The proteolysis was performed in a system involving a two-step hydrolysis: either pepsin alone, or pepsin followed by a trypsin/chymotrypsin (T/C) mixture in dialysis bags with molecular weight cut-offs (MWCO) 1000 or 8000 Da. Digestibility was estimated by the N release and by a SDS-PAGE electrophoresis of retentates from the two dialysis bags after hydrolysis. Turbidimetric measurements monitored the structural evolution of mixtures during the two-step hydrolysis. Results showed that beta-lg was almost resistant to peptic digestion and that polysaccharides increased the N release despite a reduction of pepsin activity. This is due to the formation of electrostatic complexes between polysaccharides and beta-lg, which reduced beta-lg aggregation, increasing its solubility. The polysaccharides reduced significantly the beta-lg T/C digestibility as determined using a dialysis bag with a MWCO 1000 Da, without a modification of their enzymatic activities. No significant effect of polysaccharides on the beta-lg digestibility was detected using the dialysis bag with a MWCO 8000 Da. The electrophoresis pattern did not show differences in the profile of retentates in relation with the dialysis bag used. This suggests that non-specific interactions could occur during the second step of hydrolysis between polysaccharides and amino acids or peptides smaller than 8000 Da. |
