    Abstract:
    We investigated the inhibition effect of carboxymethylated cellulose nanofibrils with four different surface chargeon α-amylase and amyloglucosidase via enzyme activity inhibition assay, fluorescence spectra and secondary structure change analysis. These results revealed that cellulose nanofibril with lowest surface charge displayed the greatest inhibition effects against α-amylase (9.81 mg/mL) and amyloglucosidase (13.16 mg/mL). All cellulose nanofibrils in starch model significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited the starch digestion, where the inhibition effect was negatively correlated with the magnitude of particle surface charge. Cellulose nanofibrils could bind α-amylase or amyloglucosidase to form new complex in the manner of static quenching. The thermodynamic parameters demonstrated that the cellulose nanofibrils-starch hydrolase (α-amylase or amyloglucosidase) complexes were formed spontaneously via hydrophobic effects. Additionally, Fourier transform Infrared spectra exhibited the changes in the fraction of secondary structures of starch hydrolase after the interactions with carboxymethylated cellulose nanofibrils. These data provide a convenient and simple method tailor gastrointestinal digestion of starch by changing cellulose surface charge, to control postprandial serum glucose upsurge.
