Physical and chemical transformations of cereal food during oral digestion in human subjects

Abstract: Chemical and physical transformations of solid food begin in the mouth, but the oral phase of digestion has rarely been studied. In the present study, twelve healthy volunteers masticated mouthfuls of either bread or spaghetti for a physiologically-determined time, and the levels of particle degradation and starch digestion before swallowing were compared for each food. The amounts of saliva moistening bread and spaghetti before swallowing were, respectively, 220 (SEM 12) v. 39 (SEM 6) g/kg fresh matter. Parti… Show more

“…All subjects were studied on four occasions, separated by at least a week. The meals consisted of freshly cooked noodles as previously described (Hoebler et al, 1998). Subjects consumed pasta meals with or without psyllium enrichment served with a warmed tomato sauce with or without fat (30 g sunflower oil and 3 g sodium propionate (Table 1).…”

“…Also the availability of reliable sources of such salivary mucin would make inclusion diffi cult under normal circumstances. Thus the method uses a simulated salivary fl uid (SSF) containing the ion composition given in Table 2.1 at pH 7.0 and α-amylase at 150 units per mL of SSF (Bornhorst et al 2014 ;Hoebler et al 1998 ) but no mucin or other proteins. Here, 1 unit is defi ned as liberating 1.0 mg of maltose from starch in 3 min at pH 6.9 at 20 °C and the activity should be determined using the method of Bernfeld ( 1955 ).…”
