Carbohydrate digestion in the mammalian gastrointestinal tract is catalyzed by α-amylases
and α-glucosidases to produce monosaccharides for absorption. Inhibition of these enzymes …

Developing a mechanistic understanding of the impact of food structure and composition on
human health has increasingly involved simulating digestion in the upper gastrointestinal …

Following a request from five European Nordic countries, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition,
Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was tasked to provide scientific advice on a …

Pregastric fermentation along with production practices that are dependent on high-energy
diets means ruminants rely heavily on starch and protein assimilation for a substantial …

Abstract Cytinus hypocistis (L.) L. is an edible parasitic plant that grows within the roots of its
host. In addition to its use as famine food in the past, it is also tradidionally used for treating …

The two major intestinal α-glycosidases, sucrase-isomaltase (SI) and maltase-glucoamylase
(MGAM), are active towards α-1, 4 glycosidic linkages that prevail in starch. These enzymes …

Congenital lactase deficiency (CLD) is a severe autosomal recessive genetic disorder that
affects the functional capacity of the intestinal protein lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (LPH). This …

Most polyphenols are glycosylated, affecting their uptake, metabolism, and biological
activity. However, the attached sugar must be removed before absorption and functionality …

This work evaluated the feasibility of pH-controlled fermentation by Lactobacillus plantarum
CECT 748 combined with Savinase-hydrolysis (LPHS) for producing multifunctional lentil …

We previously demonstrated that postruminal casein infusion and exogenous glucagon-like
peptide 2 (GLP-2) administration independently stimulated growth and carbohydrase activity …
