Modeling the intestinal digestion of triglycerides in emulsion to identify the critical physico-chemical parameters
Résumé
Models based on mass transfer kinetics were derived and compared to experimental in vitro intestinal digestions. This approach allowed to quantifyied the role of composition and structure parameters, identified as the initial interfacial area (droplet size), the initial dispersed volume fraction (concentration), the molar mass (chain length) of the triglycerides, and interface mechanical properties (viscosity or elasticity).
