“…Since the 1970s, pancreatic hydrolysate from casein and egg albumin has been used in commercialized diets (3) for patients presenting with problems of digestion or poor absorption (4,5), and for those with defects in amino acid metabolism (6), as well as in cases of transitory intestinal diseases due to food allergies, the short bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease and pancreatic insufficiency (7). Protein hydrolysates are also used as a food supplement for people who have special (nonmedical) protein needs such as the elderly, athletes and people on weight-control diets (8,9).…”

The objective of this research was the determination of the sorption isotherms and glass transition temperatures of five protein hydrolysates with different degrees of hydrolysis (DH). The hydrolysates were obtained by proteolysis of concentrated myofibrillar proteins obtained from Nile tilapia (Oreochromus niloticus) using the enzyme Flavourzyme™. There was no significant difference between the different isotherms. Agglomeration and/or compactation was observed in all samples stored in atmospheres with relative humidities (RH) of. 57%. The glass transition temperature (T g ) of the hydrolysates, determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), diminished with increasing moisture content, showing values between 1° and 55°C for moisture values between 17 and 6 g water/100g solids. Contrary to what has been reported in the literature, the increase in degree of hydrolysis of the hydrolysates was not reflected in a decrease in T g . It was observed that T g increased with increasing DH, when the hydrolysates were stored at low RH (22% to 32%). When stored at 57% RH, the T g decreased with increase in DH.

“…The beneficial effects of enteral feeding on gastrointestinal growth and function are well known [6,7]. It is also well known that the colon is directly responsive to dietary manipulations, and in particular, to the presence or absence of dietary fiber.…”

This experimental study compares the effects of early postoperative administration of three enteral diets of different compositions on the healing of colonic anastomoses. Sixty Wistar rats were subjected to colonic anastomoses. Following surgery, the rats were randomly allocated to four groups of 15 each. The rats in control group A received an electrolyte and glucose solution, the rats in group B received a complete balanced nutrition, in group C a complete balanced nutrition supplemented with fiber and in group D an isocaloric specialized elemental nutrition enriched with glutamine. The rats were sacrificed on day 7 following operation. Rupture of the anastomosis was higher in rats of the control group compared to the other three groups. Adhesion formation was more extensive in group A in comparison to the other three groups. The anastomotic bursting pressures were statistically significantly higher in groups C and D compared to the other two groups (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between group C and D (p > 0.05) while a statistically significant difference was noted between group B and group A (p < 0.05). Histological examination showed more profound inflammatory reaction in group A compared to the other three groups. There was also a statistically significant difference between group B and groups C and D while inflammatory reaction was of no statistically significant difference between group C and group D. Healing of the anastomoses was statistically significantly impaired in group A compared to the other three groups. There was no statistically significant difference between group C and group D while a statistically significant difference was found between group B and groups C and D. In conclusion, early postoperative enteral feeding improves healing of experimental colonic anastomoses in rats. This effect was more evident when fiber-supplemented diets or diets enriched with glutamine were administered.
