  • Title: Inhibition of In Vitro Amylolysis of Wheat Starch by Gluten Peptides.
    Author: Xiong Y, Gu C, Yu J, Copeland L, Wang S.
    Journal: J Agric Food Chem; 2023 May 17; 71(19):7514-7520. PubMed ID: 37143352.
    Abstract:
    The effect of gluten peptides (GPs) isolated from a gluten proteolysate on in vitro amylolysis of gelatinized wheat starch was investigated. GPs in a pepsin hydrolysate were fractionated into fractions with molecular weights (MWs) of 500-3000, 3500-7000, 10-17, and 35-48 kDa. The fractions containing peptides with MW > 10 kDa had a strong inhibitory effect on enzyme activity and amylolysis of starch, whereas GPs with MW <10 kDa had no inhibitory effect. Binding constants estimated by surface plasmon resonance showed that peptides in the fractions with MW > 10 kDa bound more strongly to α-amylase, in contrast to peptides of MW <10 kDa. Significant correlations were observed between digestion parameters and equilibrium binding affinity. We conclude that peptides with MW >10 kDa in a pepsin digest of gluten have a strong inhibitory effect on in vitro enzymatic hydrolysis of starch due to their strong binding affinity to α-amylase.
