Impact of age on the digestion of cream cheese formulated with opposite caseins to whey proteins ratios: An in vitro study

Abstract

Ageing leads to changes in the functionality of the digestive tract but the effect of age on digestion and absorption of nutrients remains unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate in vitro the digestion of two highprotein dairy products similar to cream cheese (24 % w/w proteins, 20 % w/w lipids) with opposite casein to whey protein ratios, 80:20 (WP-20), and 20:80 (WP-80). The new static digestion model adapted to the general older adult population (≥65 y.) proposed by INFOGEST was used, as well as the standard version of the protocol. Kinetics of proteolysis and lipolysis were compared between both models for each product, in the gastric and intestinal phases of digestion. In both cream cheeses, the degree of protein hydrolysis (DH-P) was significantly lower for older adults than for young adults at the end of the gastric phase ( 19 % for WP-20, and 44 % for WP-80), and at the end of the intestinal phase ( 16 % for WP-20, and 20 % for WP-80). The degree of lipid hydrolysis (DH-L) was also significantly lower for older adults than for young adults at the end of the digestion for WP-20 ( 30 %), but interestingly it was not the case for WP-80 (similar DH-L were measured). Free fatty acids were also released faster from WP-80 than from WP-20 in both digestion conditions: after 5 min of intestinal digestion DH-L was already ≈32 % for WP-80 against 14 % for WP-20. This was attributed to the opposite casein to whey protein ratios, leading to the formation of different gel structures resulting in different patterns of deconstruction in the gastrointestinal tract. This study highlights the fact that it is essential to carefully consider the composition, structure, and digestibility of foods to develop products adapted to the specific needs of the older adult population.
