ABSTRACT

We describe the preparation of pancreatic enzymes hydrolysate of milk whey proteins containing low levels of aromatic amino acids. Pancreatin and trypsin/chymotrypsin (6.3 percent w/w protein) when used to hydrolyze whey proteins for 27 h at 37±2 °C, released 74 percent of the Phe, 100 percent of the Tyr and 100 percent of the Trp as free amino acids. Most of the free aromatic amino acids present in 2 kg hydrolysate were separated from the remaining peptides and other amino acids by gel filtration on a 15 liter Sephadex G-25 column eluted with 5 percent acetic acid at 60 liters 'h POT. -1' 25°C. The product, recovered in 37 percent yield, contained 0.70 mmol Phe, 0.41 mmol Tyr, and <0.01mmol Trp/100mmol recovered amino acids. The hydrolysate had a general amino acid composition similar to the whey proteins from which it was prepared and could be use as a nitrogen source for patients with phenylketonuria or tyrosinemia after the addition of appropriate aromatic amino acids...

ABSTRACT

In the present study, the effect of dietary fish oil, a highly unsaturated fat source, on the intestinal mucosa before and after proximal small bowel resection in rats was studied. Forty Wistar rats were fed defined diets containing fish oil (experimental group) or corn oil (control group). After 2 weeks, animals underwent a 50 por cento proximal small bowel resection. Mucosal disaccharidases, alkaline phosphatase, aminopeptidase, protein, DNA, and TBARs levels were assessed in samples immediately before and 6 and 12 days after surgery. Disaccharidase activities were reduced in the ileal mucosa from rats in the fish oil-fed group compared to the control group before and 12 days after surgery...
