2,Dietary Fibers from Mushroom Sclerotia: 2.In Vitro Mineral Binding Capacity under Sequential Simulated Physiological Conditions of the Human Gastrointestinal Tract

摘要

The in vitro mineral binding capacity of three novel dietary fibers (DFs) prepared from mushroom sclerotia,namely,Pleurotus tuber-regium,Polyporous rhinocerus,and Wolfiporia cocos,to Ca,Mg,Cu,Fe,and Zn under sequential simulated physiological conditions of the human stomach,small intestine,and colon was investigated and compared.Apart from releasing most of their endogenous Ca (ranged from 96.9 to 97.9% removal) and Mg (ranged from 95.9 to 96.7% removal),simulated physiological conditions of the stomach also attenuated the possible adverse binding effect of the three sclerotial DFs to the exogenous minerals by lowering their cation-exchange capacity (ranged from 20.8 to 32.3%) and removing a substantial amount of their potential mineral chelators including protein (ranged from 16.2 to 37.8%) and phytate (ranged from 58.5 to 64.2%).The in vitro mineral binding capacity of the three sclerotial DF under simulated physiological conditions of small intestine was found to be low,especially for Ca (ranged from 4.79 to 5.91% binding) and Mg (ranged from 3.16 to 4.18% binding),and was highly correlated (r > 0.97) with their residual protein contents.Under simulated physiological conditions of the colon with slightly acidic pH (5.80),only bound Ca was readily released (ranged from 34.2 to 72.3% releasing) from the three sclerotial DFs,and their potential enhancing effect on passive Ca absorption in the human large intestine was also discussed.
