摘要

The poor stability of chlorophyll has inhibited its application in food industry. Our previous study showed that the stability of chlorophyll can be enhanced by incorporating with sodium caseinate (NaCas). This present work further explored the characteristics of NaCas–chlorophyll dispersion in simulated gastrointestinal digestion and its inhibitory effects on human epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (Caco-2 cells). Results indicated that the gastrointestinal digestion resulted in alterations to the physical appearance of the NaCas–chlorophyll dispersion. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy illustrated that the second structure of NaCas underwent alterations during gastrointestinal digestion. Morphological observation revealed that the digested NaCas–chlorophyll dispersion exhibited granular morphology with smaller particle size. The Caco-2 cells exposed to digested NaCas–chlorophyll dispersion exhibited decreased viability and destroyed mitochondrial structure, which may be related to the enhanced absorptivity of the NaCas–chlorophyll dispersion following gastrointestinal digestion. These findings provided theoretical basis for understanding the characteristics changes and biological activity of NaCas–chlorophyll dispersion during gastrointestinal digestion.
