Carrageenan as a Dietary Constituent for the Rat: Faecal Excretion, Nitrogen Absorption, and Growth

Abstract: At levels of 2–20% in the diet of young rats, carrageenan is quantitatively excreted in the faeces.In diets fed in equal amounts, both cellulose and carrageenan, when substituted for starch in various proportions, affect the growth of young rats. Beginning at levels of 10–15%, however, growth is slower with carrageenan, and there is less absorption of dietary nitrogen,Carrageenan, like cellulose, has no nutritional value. The depression of nitrogen absorption could explain the slower growth rate that occurs wi… Show more

“…Many pharmacokinetics studies concerning the oral administration of carrageenans have been conducted in rats (Carey 1958;Hawkins and Yaphe 1965;Dewar and Maddy 1970;Grasso et al 1973;Tomarelli et al 1974;Coulston et al 1975;Pittman et al 1976;Chen et al 1981;Nicklin and Miller 1984;Arakawa et al 1988;Nicklin et al 1988), guinea-pigs (Grasso et al 1973;Engster and Abraham 1976), rabbits (Udall et al 1981) and Rhesus monkeys (Abraham et al 1972;Mankes and Abraham 1975;Pittman et al 1976;Abraham et al 1983). In groups of five rats that received 0.5% native carrageenan (iota-carrageenan from E. spinosum) or 5% degraded carrageenan for 10 days, faecal excretion and weight gain were similar between the two polymers (Dewar and Maddy 1970), and native carrageenan (kappa/lambda from C. crispus), untreated or heat-sterilised in milk, was quantitatively excreted in the faeces of rats (Tomarelli et al 1974).…”

“…Furthermore, food efficiency showed interference with utilization of other nutrients in the diet. Only 10 % -15 % appeared digestible from faecal examination (Hawkins and Yaphe 1965). An experimental feeding with L digitata seaweed extract in pig resulted in a higher production of butyric acid in the caecum and colon compared to the control group (Reilly et al 2008).…”

“…Jusqu'à présent, quelques travaux ont étudié les effets des alginates et des carraghénates sur la valeur nutritionnelle des nutriments auxquels ils peuvent se trouver mélangés ou sur leurs effets gastrointestinaux (Assoumani et Adrian, 1976;Adrian, 1975;Hawkins et Yaphe, 1965).…”

“…Le dosage des lipides a été réalisé par délipidation à l'hexane à l'aide de l'appareil de Soxhlet (AOAC, 1970). Les glucides éthanolosolubles ont été extraits à l'étha-nol à 80% et dosés par la méthode à l'anthrone (Roe, 1955 (Hawkins and Yaphe, 1965;Stancioff and Renn, 1975;Shiau et al, 1989 protidique formant ainsi un complexe insoluble qui résisterait à l'action de la pepsine (Anderson, 1961;Martin ef al, 1965). Pour d'autres, ils se combineraient à la fois au substrat et à la pepsine (Accary et al, 1964).…”
