Identification of Phenolics Profile in Freeze-Dried Apple Peel and Their Bioactivities during In Vitro Digestion and Colonic Fermentation.

ABSTRACT: Freeze-dried apple peel powder (Fd-APP) was subjected to in vitro digestion and colonic fermentation to evaluate the variations in its phenolic composition, bioactivities (antioxidant activity, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase inhibition), and fecal metabolic outputs. A total of 88 phenolics were tentatively identified, of which 51 phenolic compounds were quantitated in Fd-APP sample extracts before digestion, and 34 were released during subsequent phases of digestion. Among these, phenolic acids showed the highest bio accessibility index (BI) of 68%, followed by flavonoids (63%) and anthocyanins (52%). The inhibitory functions of Fd-APP extract against α-amylase and α-glucosidase pre- and post-digestion were moderate and ranged from 41.88 to 44.08% and 35.23 to 41.13%, respectively. Additionally, the antioxidant activities revealed a significant (p ≤ 0.05) decline during the in vitro digestion. However, the colonic fermentation stage presented different products where the intact parent phenolic compounds present in Fd-APP were utilized by gut microbes and produced various phenolic metabolites such as 3- hydroxyphenyl acetic acid (3-HPAA), ferulic acid (FA), 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid (3,4 HPPA) and 4- hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA). Furthermore, colonic fermentation of Fd-APP accelerated the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), with acetic acid being the most prevalent (97.53 ± 9.09 mM). The decrease in pH of fermentation media to 4.3 significantly (p ≤ 0.05) enhanced counts of Bifidobacterium (10.27 log CFU/mL), which demonstrated the potential prebiotic effects of Fd-APP. These findings indicated that the consumption of apple peel as a constituent of novel functional foods may support and protect the intestinal microbiota and consequently promote human health.

Project description:Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) protein is a new plant protein alternative source with high nutrient content especially protein and phenolic compounds. The present study investigated physicochemical properties, phenolic content, antioxidant potential, and short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production during in vitro digestion and colonic fermentation of faba bean hydrolysates and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. Results indicate that the enzymic hydrolysates of faba proteins exhibited higher protein solubility, increased electronegativity, and decreased surface hydrophobicity than native faba protein. O/W emulsions showed improved colloidal stability for the faba protein hydrolysates after ultra-high temperature processing (UHT). Furthermore, UHT processing preserved total phenolic content, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging abilities while decreasing total flavonoid content and ferric reducing power. Besides, the release of phenolic compounds in faba bean hydrolysates (FBH) and emulsions (FBE) improved after intestinal digestion by 0.44 mg GAE/g and 0.55 mg GAE/g, respectively. For colonic fermentation, FBH demonstrated an approximately 10 mg TE/g higher ABTS value than FBE (106.45 mg TE/g). Total SCFAs production of both FBH and FBE was only 0.03 mM. The treatment of FBH with 30 min enzymatic hydrolysis displayed relatively higher antioxidant capacities and SCFAs production, indicating its potential to bring more benefits to gut health. Overall, this study showed that enzymic hydrolysis of faba proteins not only improved the colloidal emulsion stability, but also released antioxidant capacity during in vitro digestibility and colonic fermentation. Colonic fermentation metabolites (SCFAs) were related to the degree of hydrolysis for both FBH and FBE. Additional studies are required to further elucidate and differentiate the role of phenolics during faba protein processing and digestion stages in comparison to contributions of peptides, amino acids and microelements to digestion rates, antioxidant capacities and colonial SCFA production.

Project description:The objective of the research was to investigate and compare the bioactivities and bioaccessibility of the polyphenols (PPs) from Dendrobium officinale (DO) and probiotic fermented Dendrobium officinale (FDO), by using in vitro simulated digestion model under oral, gastric and intestinal phases as well as colonic fermentation. The results indicated that FDO possessed significantly higher total phenolic contents (TPC) and total flavonoid contents (TFC) than DO, and they were released most in the intestinal digestion phase with 6.96 ± 0.99 mg GAE/g DE and 10.70 ± 1.31 mg RE/g DE, respectively. Using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), a total of six phenolic acids and four flavonoids were detected. In the intestinal phase, syringaldehyde and ferulic acid were major released by DO, whereas they were p-hydroxybenzoic acid, vanillic acid, and syringic acid for FDO. However, apigenin and scutellarin were sustained throughout the digestion whether DO or FDO. As the digestive process progressed, their antioxidant ability, α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities were increased, and FDO was overall substantially stronger in these activities than that of DO. Both DO and FDO could reduce pH values in the colonic fermentation system, and enhance the contents of short-chain fatty acids, but there were no significantly different between them. The results of the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that both DO and FDO could alter intestinal microbial diversity during in vitro colonic fermentation. In particular, after colonic fermentation for 24 h, FDO could significantly improve the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes, and enrich the abundancy of Enterococcus and Bifidobacterium (p < 0.05), which was most likely through the carbohydrate metabolism signal pathway. Taken together, the PPs from DO and FDO had good potential for antioxidant and modulation of gut bacterial flora during the digestive processes, and FDO had better bioactivities and bioaccessibility. This study could provide scientific data and novel insights for Dendrobium officinale to be developed as functional foods.
