Article Synopsis
- Low methyl-esterified pectin (AU701) can form gel beads with glycerol that have similar properties to those made with calcium (Ca).
- The dry AU701-glycerol gel beads have a rough, grooved surface and can absorb significantly more water than the AU701-Ca gel beads.
- The properties of the AU701-glycerol gel beads improve with higher pectin/glycerol ratios, showing better swelling in simulated gastric fluid and higher stability in simulated intestinal fluid compared to the Ca cross-linked beads.
The rheological characteristics and transit time of gastric digesta and the postprandial glycaemic response in mice orally administered with water (control) or pectin solutions supplemented (AP-Ca) or not supplemented (AP) with CaCO were elucidated. AP and AP-Ca increased viscosity, storage and loss moduluses (G' and G'') of mice gastric digesta. The gelling capacity of AP-Ca in acidic gastric conditions appeared to provide a greater enhancement of gastric digesta viscosity compared with AP.
