Impact of Simulated Human Gastrointestinal Digestion on the Bioactive Fraction of Upcycled Pineapple By-Products

Ricardo Gomez-Garcia et al.

Summary: The potential application of pineapple by-products (peels and stems) as a functional food was evaluated for its prebiotic and antioxidant activities. The pineapple liquid fraction was found to enhance the growth of probiotic microorganisms and exhibit antioxidant properties. During the simulated gastrointestinal process, high molecular weight polysaccharides in the pineapple liquid fraction were digested into smaller saccharides, and specific polyphenols were released. However, the prebiotic activity did not improve throughout the simulation.

Exogenous carbohydrate and regulation of muscle carbohydrate utilisation during exercise

James J. Malone et al.

Summary: Carbohydrates (CHO) are fundamental energy sources during prolonged steady state and intermittent exercise, with consumption aimed at enhancing performance. Recent studies have identified potential barriers to CHO utilisation during exercise, including gastric emptying, intestinal absorption, blood flow, muscle uptake, and oxidation. Understanding these barriers and optimizing CHO delivery methods is crucial for improving sporting performance.

Chronic Fructose Substitution for Glucose or Sucrose in Food or Beverages and Metabolic Outcomes: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Mohammad Ishraq Zafar et al.

Summary: The meta-analysis results suggest that the isoenergetic substitution of fructose for glucose leads to statistically significant but clinically irrelevant reductions in fasting blood glucose, insulin, and triglyceride concentrations. Differences in responses to fructose were observed between diabetic patients and healthy individuals, but more research is needed to draw definitive conclusions.
