Protein oxidation in dairy products and effects on intestinal health

Abstract

Lipid oxidation and microbial action have long been attributed to reduced food quality, but the effect on quality has only been gradually noticed in recent years. In food systems, protein oxidation can occur naturally and can also be triggered by processing. Therefore, the oxidation phenomenon is very common in the processing process of protein food. It is very important to study the detailed oxidation mechanism of protein. The new problem is the intake of oxidized protein impacts the health of the human body and intestinal microorganisms in its role, microorganisms in the human body intake of oxidized protein's detailed role is not clear. However, it is undeniable that the gut microbiota plays a vital role in human gut health, and it is very important to study the detailed function of the human gut microbiota after ingestion of oxidized proteins. This study conducted a detailed analysis of food processing to create a protein oxidation environment, protein oxidation mechanism, protein oxidation modification on human intestinal health, and digestion characteristics. Besides, the study also analyzes the role of microorganisms and puts forward the insufficiency. The paper also provides references and help for protein oxidation research.
