Digestion of protein and toxic gluten peptides in wheat bread, pasta and cereal and the effect of a supplemental enzyme mix

ABSTRACT: There has been an increasing interest in the relationship between wheat digestibility and potential toxicity to the host. However, there is a lack of understanding about temporal profile of digestion of wheat proteins from different food matrices under physiologically relevant conditions. In this study, digestion of three wheat-based foods (bread, pasta and cereal) was conducted based on the INFOGEST semi-dynamic protocol in the absence and presence of a commercial supplemental enzyme preparation (a Glutalytic® based supplement, which will be marketed as Elevase®). Protein hydrolysis (OPA- ortho-phthalaldehyde - assay), molecular weight distribution (SEC-HPLC) and potential toxicity (R5 antibody-based competitive ELISA), were assessed. Our results demonstrated that under normal conditions,
