Whey proteins isolates (WPI) were treated in aqueous medium at various pH values. Zeta potential, turbidity and particle size measurement were determined as a function of pH. FTIR analysis was performed in ATR mode (attenuated total reflectance). Digestibility was assessed by treating whey proteins with artificial gastric and intestinal fluids. Proteolytic enzymes such as pepsin from porcine stomach mucosa was added in the gastric fluid. Pancreatin and trypsin from porcine and bile salts were added in the intestinal fluid. SDS-PAGE revealed hydrolysis of α-lactalbumin and bovine serum albumin by pepsin while β-lactoglobulin was not hydrolyzed by gastric fluid. All the proteins of WPI were easily hydrolyzed in the intestinal fluid. The zeta potential of WPI went from positive values to negative values as the pH was increased. Turbidity values indicated the presence of particles in the solution which were confirmed by the measurement of particle size. FTIR analysis determined the fingerprint of WPI macromolecule.
22 47 22 17 RESUMETrois types de biofilms à base de polymères naturels ont été préparés à partir de la pectine, un polyélectrolyte anionique, et de la gélatine, une espèce cationique. Les propriétés physicochimiques (épaisseur, perméabilité à la vapeur d'eau et pouvoir gonflant) des biofilms ont été déterminées; de même, leur morphologie a été évaluée. Au niveau micrométrique, les épaisseurs des biofilms étaient respectivement de 101,2±0,2 µm; 64,6±0,1 µm et 39,0±0,1 µm pour la gélatine, le mélange gélatine/pectine et la pectine. Le pouvoir gonflant était de 300% pour la gélatine, 215% pour le mélange gélatine/pectine et 90% pour la pectine. La perméabilité à la vapeur d'eau était de 9,20 g mm/m 2 h KPa pour la gélatine; 6,59 g mm/m 2 h KPa pour le mélange gélatine/pectine et 3,98 g mm/m 2 h KPa pour la pectine. Au niveau morphologique, des différences significatives ont été observées. Toutefois, les différents films formulés ont mis en évidence des potentialités physicochimiques intéressantes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
