Abstract:The effects of refined pectin and mango pulp on macronutrient digestion and small intestinal enzyme activity were studied in grower pigs. Diets based on wheat starch with and without apple pectin or dried mango fruit pulp were fed to 30 grower pigs for 21 days. Pigs were euthanized two hours postprandially, and their gastrointestinal contents recovered. Starch and protein digestion as well as α-amylase activity were all increased in pigs fed pectin. In contrast, fat digestion, lipase and protease (trypsin) act… Show more
“…Digestibility may also be determined by changes in digestive enzyme secretion. Our results suggested that activities of amylase is affected by viscosity rather than DF content, which is in agreement with the finding that soluble DF intake decreases macronutrient digestion by reducing digestive enzyme activities (23,48,49) . Nevertheless, previous in vitro and in vivo studies have shown different responses on the effect of viscosity on digestive enzyme activities.…”

“…Isaksson et al demonstrated that increased viscosity by adding pectin to jejunal juice of humans reduced activities of trypsin and amylase (48) . In contrast, the activities of amylase, protease, and lipase in the pancreas and on pancreatic-biliary secretion were increased in rats fed viscous guar gum for 14-d compared with control (51) , and increased amylase activity has been reported in pigs fed pectin for 21-d compared with those fed control diets (23) . Because of the very different models and compounds used in the literature, to define the effect of chyme viscosity on digestive enzymatic activity requires further research.…”

“…However, the rheological behaviour of the digesta supernatant is not representative of the whole digesta (26) . Likewise, the majority of experiments that have evaluated the effects of fibre or viscosity on intestinal function were conducted using soluble DF sources (13,23,27) . This presents a disadvantage because most common DF sources (e.g.…”

“…Digesta (1 g) was extracted by adding 2 mL ice-cold PBS (1×), vortex, and then subjected to centrifugation (3000 × g for 15 min). α-Amylase, trypsin, and chymotrypsin activities were determined using commercial kits (23) (Biovision K711-100, K771-100, and K352-100; California, USA) following the manufacturer's instructions.…”
Fibre content and its effect on chyme viscosity are associated with changes in the digestive system of humans and pigs. However, it is unclear if fibre content and viscosity affect nutrient utilization and intestinal function independently or interactively. Therefore, we evaluated apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of nutrients and intestinal function in 36 ileal-cannulated barrows fed for 29 days either corn-soy (CSBM) or high-fibre CSBM+30% distillers dried grains with solubles (CSBM+DDGS) modified to three levels of viscosity by adding 5% non-viscous cellulose (CEL), 6.5% medium-viscous carboxymethylcellulose (MCMC) or 6.5% high-viscous CMC (HCMC). Digesta was collected on days 27 and 28 and intestinal samples on day 29. Feeding CMC, regardless of fibre content, increased viscosity of whole digesta (P = 0.003) and digesta supernatant (P < 0.0001) compared with CEL. Feeding CSBM+DDGS or CMC decreased AID of dry matter (P = 0.003; P < 0.0001) and crude protein (P = 0.02; P < 0.0001) compared with CSBM or CEL. Feeding CMC regardless of fibre content increased crypt depth in jejunum (P = 0.02) and goblet cell area in ileum (P = 0.004) compared with CEL. Adding DDGS or CMC did not affect villus height and gene expression of jejunal monosaccharide and amino-acid transporters. Feeding HCMC, regardless of fibre content, elevated amylase activity by 46% and 50% in jejunal (P = 0.03) and ileal digesta (P = 0.01) compared with CEL. In summary, diets with increased viscosity decreased nutrient digestibility and induced intestinal changes that were independent of the amount of fibre fed.

In the past, the beneficial effects of fermented fruits were unknown, and so people primarily used fermentation to preserve fruits, enhance shelf life, and improve flavor. Fermentation of fruits has been adopted over many generations, primarily due to their commercial significance. Edible tropical fruits such as, cashew apple, mangoes, papaya, pineapple, litchi, guava, bael, banana, pomegranate, jamun and palm etc. with high export potential have their origin in the tropics and require rather suitable climatic conditions; and can not tolerate environmental stress. Most of the tropical fruits are important sources of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and form a very healthy part of a diet. An effective utilisation of inferior grade and over-ripe fruits and processing them into fermented beverages has been revealed as a new and promising alternative to generate extra revenues whilst conducting a sustainable exploitation of wastes. In addition, microorganisms contributing to the fermentation process have recently been associated with many health benefits, and so these microorganisms have become another focus of attention. This paper reviews the production techniques and beneficial health effects of different fermented fruits. Scientific advances in the emerging area of functional beverages; as they provide a health benefit beyond the basic nutritional functions also reported in this paper.
