Wheat gluten derived antigens have been tested for their ability to inhibit the migration of leucocytes from healthy subjects and patients with coeliac disease. Three preparations of a water soluble fraction (Frazer's fraction III, FIII) of partial peptic tryptic digests of wheat gluten had different effects in a direct (one stage) assay. Subfractions B and B2 caused migration inhibition of leucocytes from patients with treated coeliac disease but not of leucocytes from healthy volunteers or patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. This migration inhibition seems to be specific for gluten fractions because maize zein fraction B, beta-lactoglobulin and ovalbumin did not cause it. The sensitivity of coeliac leucocytes to fraction B is not related to factors present in coeliac serum as the migration of leucocytes from healthy individuals preincubated with coeliac sera was not inhibited. Puromycin diminished inhibition by fraction B, which was active at 1.2 micrograms/ml in an indirect (two stage) migration inhibition assay; this is consistent with a process involving elaboration of lymphokine(s). More highly purified fractions of B2, P1-P4 were prepared by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and showed differing potency in direct and indirect assays, with P4 being the most active fraction. Inhibition of migration by gluten derived peptides appears to result from the release of lymphokine by leucocytes specifically from coeliac patients.

Effects of catechins with different structure characteristics on the structure and properties of gluten-catechin covalent complex were investigated, and the structure-activity relationship was further explored. Catechins including epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) could successfully covalently bind with gluten through C-N and/or C-S bonds. The physicochemical properties of covalent complex, including particle size, thermal stability, content of free amino groups, free sulfhydryl groups and disulfide bonds, were significantly affected by different catechins, and the action order was: EGCG > ECG > EGC > EC.

Although the gluten-free market is expanding and offers a variety of products, there are still some deficiencies in the nutritional and sensory quality of these products. Therefore, this study explores the bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds, nutritional quality, and textural properties of gluten-free muffins enriched with artichoke leaves and green lentil protein (GLP) isolate, two novel ingredients introduced together for the first time in this context. The incorporation of GLP isolate aims to enhance the protein content, while artichoke leaves are evaluated for its potential to improve phenolic content and antioxidant activity.

Modern-day consumers are interested in highly nutritious and safe foods with corresponding organoleptic qualities. Such foods are increasingly subjected to various processing techniques which include the use of enzymes. These enzymes like amylases, lipases, proteases, xylanases, laccases, pullulanase, chitinases, pectinases, esterases, isomerases, and dehydrogenases could be derived from extremophilic organisms such as thermophiles, psychrophiles, acidophiles, alkaliphiles, and halophiles.

Background And Aims: Refractory celiac disease type II (RCDII) is characterized by a clonally expanded aberrant cell population in the small intestine. The role of other tissue-resident immune subsets in RCDII is unknown. Here, we characterized CD8 and CD4 T cells in RCDII duodenum at the single-cell level and .

Background And Aims: Digestion of gluten-derived immunogenic peptides along the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is not well established. This study aimed to map the digestion of gluten-derived immunogenic peptides along the GIT using the growing pig as a human adult model, and actinidin as a model exogenous protease.
Methods: Entire male pigs 9 weeks of age (n=54, 19.
