BACKGROUND: The consumption of dietary Maillard reaction products (MRPs) might lead to positive or negative effects on health. The digestibility of half-fin anchovy hydrolysates/glucose MRPs (HAHp(9.0)-G MRPs) was therefore determined. The intestinal microbiota modulation of HAHp(9.0)-G MRPs in mice was also evaluated after administration for 14 days (1 g kg −1 •bodyweight).RESULTS: Different levels of digestibility of MRPs of fructosamine and advanced glycation products of N ε -carboxymethyllysine were detected in HAHp(9.0)-G MRPs during simulated gastrointestinal digestion. An increased relative proportion of soluble fluorescent melanoidins (SFMs) was observed during gastric digestion as compared to that in the original HAHp(9.0)-G MRPs, followed by decreases in SFMs in intestinal digestion. After feeding with HAHp(9.0)-G MRPs for 14 days, increased goblet cells were observed in the ileum regions of female and male mice. High-throughput 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing of fecal samples revealed that HAHp(9.0)-G MRPs administration increased the density of the phylum Bacteriodetes and reduced the density of the phylum Firmicutes in male mice. By comparison, a relatively higher density of members of the phylum Saccharibacteria was observed in female mice. A consistent increase in the abundance of Bacteroidales_S24-7_group_norank was found in female and male groups fed with HAHp(9.0)-G MRPs. Female and male mice treated with HAHp(9.0)-G MRPs also showed higher levels of propionic and butyric acids in feces than their corresponding controls.CONCLUSION: Half-fin anchovy hydrolysates/glucose MRPs can be partly hydrolyzed in the simulated gastrointestinal digestion system. Treatment with HAHp(9.0)-G MRPs induced sex-related differences in bacterial abundance and diversity in mice; however, the up-regulation of anti-inflammatory activity was predicted in both female and male mice.
The oxidative state of intestinal tracts of healthy animals were investigated after short-term intake of half-fin anchovy hydrolysates (HAHp) and their thermal or Maillard reaction products (MRPs). After one month of continuous oral gavage of HAHp, HAHp-heated products (HAHp-H), the MRPs of HAHp with 3% of glucose (HAHp-3%G MRPs), and the MRPs of HAHp with 3% of fructose (HAHp-3%F MRPs) at a dose of 1.0 g/kg of body weight per day into healthy ICR male mice, the concentrations of serum low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol did not significantly change compared to the control group (CK, gavage with saline). Similar results were found for the interleukin-6 concentrations of all groups. By comparison, HAHp-H, HAHp-3%G MRPs, and HAHp-3%F MRPs administration decreased serum tumor necrosis factor-α concentration as compared to the CK group (p < 0.05). No histological damage was observed in the jejunum, ileum, and colonic tissues of all groups. However, HAHp-H treatment induced higher upregulation of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1, transcription factors Nrf-2, associated protective phase-II enzymes of NAD(P)H: quinine oxidoreductase-1, and hemoxygenase-1 in colon tissue, as well as higher upregulation of endogenous antioxidant enzymes, including copper/zinc superoxide dismutase, manganese superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase 2 than other groups (p < 0.05). Additionally, increases in Nε-carboxymethyllysine expression in the colonic tissues of all groups were consistent with their increased oligopeptide transporter 1 expressions. Our results suggest that the thermal products of HAHp might have a broad application prospect in improving antioxidant defense in vivo in healthy animals.
In order to further develop and utilize shrimp processing by-products, in this study, a novel antibacterial hydrolysate of shrimp by-products by pepsin hydrolysis (SPH) was prepared. The antibacterial effect of SPH on specific spoilage organisms of squid after end storage at room temperature (SE–SSOs) was investigated. SPH showed an antibacterial effect on the growth of SE–SSOs, with (23.4 ± 0.2) mm of inhibition zone diameter. The cell permeability of SE–SSOs was enhanced after SPH treatment for 12 h. Some bacteria were twisted and shrunk, while pits and pores formed and intracellular contents leaked under scanning electron microscopy observation. The flora diversity of SE–SSOs treated with SPH was determined by a 16S rDNA sequencing technique. Results showed that SE–SSOs were mainly composed of the phyla of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, among which Paraclostridium (47.29%) and Enterobacter (38.35%) were dominant genera. SPH treatment resulted in a significant reduction in the relative abundance of the genus Paraclostridium and increased the abundance of Enterococcus. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) of LEfSe conveyed that SPH treatment had a significant impact on altering the bacterial structure of SE–SSOs. The 16S PICRUSt of Cluster of Orthologous Group (COG) annotation revealed that SPH treatment for 12 h could significantly increase the function of transcription level [K], while SPH treatment for 24 h could downregulate post-translational modifications, protein turnover, and chaperone metabolism functions [O]. In conclusion, SPH has a proper antibacterial effect on SE–SSOs and can change the flora structure of SE–SSOs. These findings will provide a technical basis for the development of inhibitors of squid SSOs.
