How does the structure of dairy products affect their digestion mechanisms? Consequences on human health
Résumé
Digestion provides nutrients and energy essential to the survival and growth of the organisms. But
little is known about the influence of food structure and of interactions between food components
during processing on their digestibility and nutritional properties. Our objectives are to understand
how dairy products are disintegrated in the gastrointestinal tract, identify the potentially bioactive
molecules (peptides, amino acid, fatty acid...) released during digestion and demonstrate the
physiological effect of these molecules on the host. In a first experiment, six dairy matrices (raw
and heat - treated milk, stirred and non - stirred acid gels, rennet gels made of raw or heat
- treated milk) of similar composition but with different micro and macrostructures were manufactured in a
pilot plant. Each sample was given to six multi- canulated adult mini- pigs. Effluents were collected
in the duodenum and mid-jejunum during 7h after the meal and characterized by SDS-PAGE, LC
-MS-MS and ELISA. Free amino acids were quantified in plasmas. More than 16000 peptides
released in the lumen during digested were identified. Among those, several are known for carrying biological activities. Compares to liquid milks, acid gels showed a delayed gastricemptying and a slower release of caseins and β-lactoglobulin in the duodenum. In a secondexperiment, two infant formulas adapted to reac
h the nutritional requirement of piglets were manufactured using either vegetable fat (STD) or a combination of milk and vegetable fats stabilized by a mixture of proteins and milk fat globule membrane fragments (EXP). The formulas were distributed with an automatic milk feeder to piglets until slaughter at 28 days. Intestinal
contents and tissues as well as mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) were collected. Microbiota diversity
and composition was assessed using DHPLC and metasequencing analysis. The immunoreact
ivity of β-lg and Cns, as determined by ELISA, was higher in EXP than in STD intestinal contents. The
secretory activity of MLN cells was modified by the formula composition, the highest IFNγ secretion
was obtained in EXP piglets. Microbiota clustering successfully discriminated infant formulas
according to the nature of fat. Differences in proteobacteria and firmicutes phyla were observed.
These data emphasize the crucial role played by the food composition but also its structure on the
digestion mechanisms, the kinetics of nutrient release and the physiological response of the host
