Subject:
cysteine proteinases; in vitro digestion; proteins; kiwifruit; stomach; enzyme activity; dietary protein; pepsin; Actinidia deliciosa
Abstract:
... Consumption of kiwifruit has long been claimed anecdotally to assist in gastric digestion. This has generally been assumed to be due to the presence of the proteolytic enzyme actinidin; however, there is little published evidence supporting this assumption. This paper reports the findings of an in vitro study that examined the effect of kiwifruit proteases (actinidin) on the digestion of a range o ...
