Abstract:BACKGROUNDThe supplemental effect of zinc depends not only on adequate intake, but also on how efficiently it is absorbed in the small intestine. In the present study, weak hydrophobic peptides (WHP), strong hydrophobic peptides (SHP), positively charged peptides (PCP) and negatively charged peptides (NCP) were isolated from soybean peptides (SP). The peptide‐Zn complexes (PCP‐Zn, NCP‐Zn, WHP‐Zn, SHP‐Zn and SP‐Zn) were prepared to compare their promotion zinc absorption capacity in the Caco‐2 cells monolayers … Show more
