Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effects of two dietary proteins on dry matter recovery, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) soluble protein concentration, and peptide distribution in gastrointestinal contents were investigated in rats trained to consume, in a single 2-hour daily meal, diets containing alpha-lactalbumin (alpha-LA) or whey protein concentrate (WPC) for two weeks. Compared with the WPC diet, the alpha-LA diet emptied faster from the stomach. Dry matter recovery was higher in the stomach contents of rats fed the WPC diet than in those given the alpha-LA diet, but dry matter content in the small intestine was comparable. TCA soluble protein levels in the stomach and the small intestinal contents were also significantly (P < 0.001) higher in rats fed the WPC diet. The concentration of peptides having molecular weights (MW) ranging from 12,500-30,000 daltons (Da) was higher in the stomach contents of rats fed the WPC diet. Conversely, the level of peptides ranging from 5000-12,500 Da was higher in the stomach contents of rats fed the alpha-LA diet. For both diets, the small intestinal contents were characterized by high levels of amino acids and small peptides. These results suggest that the hydrolysis and absorption of alpha-LA is faster than that of WPC.
