Abstract
Physicochemical properties of casein (CN) materials manufactured using different processes are well studied; however, data on their bioaccessibility or bioactivity are limited. We compared the digestion patterns and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-releasing activities of micellar CN concentrate (MCC) and sodium caseinate (SCN). MCC and SCN mixed with whey protein isolate (SCN + WPI) were subjected to in vitro gastrointestinal digestion; the digestibility of MCC was higher than that of SCN + WPI, and both CN materials showed different patterns of peptides released after in vitro digestion. A comparison of GLP-1-releasing activities showed that MCC induced GLP-1 secretion to a greater extent than SCN + WPI. Candidate peptides identified from CN digesta were chemically synthesized to test their GLP-1-releasing activity. GPVRGPFPIIV identified only in the MCC digesta, could stimulate GLP-1 release. In conclusion, the digestion patterns and GLP-1-releasing activity of CN materials depend on the production process.
