Insights into the mechanism of hyaluronic acid and its derivatives reducing starch digestibility: Gelatinization, multiscale structures, and enzyme activity
Non-starch polysaccharides are known to reduce starch digestibility and modulate postprandial blood glucose levels. Hyaluronic acid (HA) and its derivatives may exert similar effects, although their mechanisms remain unclear. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of their starch digestibility reduction, the HA radical degradation products (HAO) and enzymatic hydrolysates (HAE) were prepared and characterized. The analysis revealed that in HAO, the reducing end of GlcA was oxidized to form hexendioic acid, while HAE maintained a saturated polysaccharide structure. Their impacts on wheat starch (WS) gelatinization, multiscale structure, and enzyme activities were investigated. The results indicated that the addition of HA, HAO, and HAE reduced starch digestibility to 71.11 ± 1.23 %, 61.78 ± 0.67 %, and 69.20 ± 1.04 %, respectively. HA primarily inhibited starch gelatinization, promoted more ordered molecular and crystalline structures, and prevented enzyme-starch interactions. Enzyme activity was inhibited by HAO and HAE through binding to the enzyme. Notably, HAO exhibited a stronger affinity for α-amylase (−7.3 kcal/mol) and amyloglucosidase (−7.7 kcal/mol) compared to HAE (−7.1 and −7.4 kcal/mol), likely due to hydrogen bonds formed between its carboxyl groups and the enzymes. This suggests that directly targeting starch-digesting enzymes is a more effective approach to influence starch digestibility.
期刊介绍:
LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
