The objective of this study was to test the hydrolytic efficacy of 6 fungal enzymes in the INFOGEST static in vitro simulation of gastrointestinal (GI) digestion. First, the INFOGEST protocol was adapted for testing of exogenous enzymes. Second, a dose-response study of 3 individual fungal proteases, a lipase, and an amylase with glucoamylase demonstrated improved dietary protein, lipid, and carbohydrate hydrolysis, respectively, from an oral nutritional supplement (ONS) under simulated gastric or GI conditions, compared to pepsin and pancreatin-based control conditions. Third, a combination of the 6 enzymes (BC-006) improved macronutrient digestion, including enhanced release of individual amino acids from ONS and mixed meal substrates. Finally, we validated digestive models of aging and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use, and showed that BC-006 improved gastric digestion under these compromised digestive conditions. The INFOGEST static simulation is a feasible tool to rapidly screen and profile exogenous enzymes for digestive efficacy in vitro.

Besides their nutritional role, proteins are recognized for their ability to regulate both short- and long-term energy homeostasis. However, studies investigating the effects of proteins based on their quality and origin remain limited and often lack comparability. Nonetheless, existing research consistently underscores the influence of proteins on food intake regulation.

Health benefit effects of bioactive compounds depend on their bioavailabilities, which could vary according to factors including food matrix and digestion environment. To understand the "bioaccessible" health benefit of red pitay pulp, the INFOGEST static in vitro simulation of gastrointestinal (GI) digestion model and targeted metabolomics method were applied to unravel the fates of bioactive compounds in the whole food of red pitaya pulp during GI digestion. The antioxidant activity as one of the health benefit indices was also assessed to compare the changes in bioactive properties of red pitaya pulp.

Plant-derived antioxidant peptides safeguard food against oxidation, helping to preserve its flavor and nutrients, and hold significant potential for use in functional food development. Sacha Inchi Oil Press-Cake (SIPC), a by-product of oil processing, was used to produce Sacha Inchi Protein Concentrate (SPC) in vitro, hydrolyzed by a standardized static INFOGEST 2.0 protocol.

The digestibility of starch in staple foods has rarely been examined at the bio-macromolecular level. This study addresses this by investigating the fine structures of amylose and amylopectin to understand their roles in starch digestibility in cooked white rice. Using the static INFOGEST protocol and oral processing by human volunteers, we assessed the starch digestion characteristics of 13 rice varieties, with amylose and amylopectin chain length distribution being analyzed using size-exclusion chromatography and high-performance anion exchange chromatography, respectively.

Lentil protein isolate was combined with proteins from oat, rice, brewer's spent grain (BSGP) and wheat to achieve plant-based milk alternatives (PBMA) with improved protein quality and functionality. Due to the complementary amino acid (AA) profile of pulse protein which is high in lysine, and cereal protein which is high in sulphur amino acids, their combination at an optimised ratio resulted in a protein blend with a significantly improved indispensable amino acid score (IAAS) compared to the single ingredients. All protein combinations with lentil except for wheat resulted in a full IAAS for adults.
