Why do protein hydrolysates improve digestibility beyond their own nutritional contribution?
Dear colleagues, Today we will explain that once the protein is digested, it is absorbed by the enterocytes in the form of free amino acids and dipeptides and tripeptides by specific transporters that exist in the microvilli of the enterocytes. Although some peptides of more than 3 amino acids can [...]
Antioxidant peptides obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis
Dear colleagues, Although vitamins are the nutrients best known for their antioxidant capacity, almost all nutrient groups have molecules with antioxidant capacity. In fact, we can state that the group of nutrients with the most potent antioxidant molecules belongs to the protein group. For example, among the antioxidant proteins we [...]
Effects of omega-3-rich fish oil in the diet of dogs and cats
Dear colleagues, The inclusion of fish oil rich in the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA has been shown to be an effective treatment for inflammatory disorders in dogs such as atopy and some renal disorders, as well as cardiovascular problems, hyperlipidemia, and osteoarthritis. One of the mechanisms of [...]
