Influence of oat components on lipid digestion using an in vitro model: Impact of viscosity and depletion flocculation mechanism.

ABSTRACT: Depletion flocculation is a well-known instability mechanism that can occur in oil-in-water emulsions when the concentration of non-adsorbed polysaccharide exceeds a certain level. This critical flocculation concentration depends on the molecular characteristics of the polysaccharide molecules, such as their molecular weight and hydrodynamic radius. In this study, a range of analytical methods (dynamic shear rheology, optical microscopy, and static light-scattering) were used to investigate the interaction between lipid droplets and polysaccharides (guar gum and ?-glucans) of varying weight-average molecular weight and hydrodynamic radius, and concentration. The aim of this work was to see if the health benefits of soluble fibers like ?-glucans could be explained by their influence on the structure and digestibility of lipid emulsions. The apparent viscosity of the emulsions increased with increasing polysaccharide concentration, molecular weight, and hydrodynamic radius. Droplet flocculation was observed in the emulsions only at certain polysaccharide concentrations, which was attributed to a depletion effect. In addition, the water-soluble components in oat flakes, flour, and bran were extracted using aqueous solutions, to examine their impact on emulsion stability and properties. Then, the rate and extent of lipolysis of a sunflower oil-in-water emulsion in the presence of these oat extracts were monitored using the pH-stat method. However, the inhibition of lipolysis was not linearly related to the viscosity of the oat solutions. The water-soluble extracts of ?-glucan collected from oat flakes had a significant inhibitory effect on lipolysis. The results of this study increase our understanding of the possible mechanisms influencing the impact of oat constituents on lipid digestion. This work also highlights the importance of considering the molecular properties of polysaccharides, and not just their impact on solution viscosity.

Project description:In vitro digestion research has scarcely addressed the assessment of the complexity of digestion in real food. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of intestinal conditions, nonlipid components, and lipid organization within the food matrix on lipolysis extent. A selection of 52 foods was studied under different simulated intestinal conditions, including those related to patients with cystic fibrosis (pH6, bile salts 1 mM due to decreased pancreatic and biliary secretions) and to healthy subjects (pH7, bile salts 10 mM). Linear mixed regression models were applied to explain associations of food properties with lipolysis. Normal intestinal conditions allowed for optimal lipolysis in most of the foods in contrast to the altered intestinal scenario (30 compared with 1 food reaching > 90% lipolysis). Lipid-protein and lipid-starch interactions were evidenced to significantly affect lipolysis (P < 0.001) in all the digestion conditions, decreasing in those foods with low fat and high protein or high starch content. In addition, under decreased intestinal pH and bile concentration, lipolysis was lower in foods with complex solid structures and continuous lipid phase than in the oil-in-water continuous aqueous phase (global P < 0.01). However, in the normal conditions lipid organization within the food matrix did not show a significant effect on lipolysis (global P = 0.08). In conclusion, food properties play a crucial role in lipolysis, which should be considered when establishing dietary recommendations. PRACTICAL APPLICATION:Food composition, lipid organization within the food matrix, and gastrointestinal conditions are key factors affecting lipolysis. Knowledge on that can be used to modulate lipolysis performance after food ingestion. Different applications are foreseen, as food design and nutritional recommendations for the general populations and specific target groups. The most immediate application is related to the scope of the research project that frames this work (www.mycyfapp.eu). These results have contributed to the development of a mobile app for cystic fibrosis patients, which includes an algorithm for enzyme dose prediction based on food properties. The app is currently being tested in a clinical trial setting.
