Impact of thermal treatments and simulated gastrointestinal digestion on the alpha-amylase inhibitory activity of different legumes
[EN] Legumes are excellent sources of proteins that can be hydrolysed to generate antidiabetic peptides, which inhibit carbohydrate digestive enzymes. The degree of protein hydrolysis depends on the thermal treatment applied and how it impacts protein denaturation and thus accessibility to enzymes....

| Sumario: | [EN] Legumes are excellent sources of proteins that can be hydrolysed to generate antidiabetic peptides, which inhibit carbohydrate digestive enzymes. The degree of protein hydrolysis depends on the thermal treatment applied and how it impacts protein denaturation and thus accessibility to enzymes. In this study, alpha-amylase inhibitory activities of cooked (conventional, pressure, and microwave cooking) and digested (simulated gastrointestinal digestion, GID) green pea, chickpea, and navy beans were evaluated, together with the impact of thermal treatments on peptide profiles after GID. All peptides extracts inhibited alpha-amylase after cooking and GID, and the peptide fraction <3 kDa was responsible for main activity. In green peas and navy beans, microwave cooking showed the highest impact whereas none thermal treatment highlighted in chickpeas. The peptidomics analysis of the fractions <3 kDa identified a total of 205 peptides, 43 of which were found to be potentially bioactive according to in silico analysis. Also quantitative results evidenced differences in the peptide profile between the type of legume and thermal treatment. |
