ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the commonest global nutritional deficiency diseases, and the low bioavailability of iron is a key contributing factor. The peptide-iron complex could be used as a novel iron supplement to improve iron bioavailability.RESULTS:
In this study, antioxidant low molecular weight (<3 kDa) phosvitin peptide (named PP-4) was separated to prepare a phosvitin peptide-ferrous complex (named PP-4-Fe); then the structural conformation of PP-4-Fe was characterized and its bioavailability by in vitro digestion was evaluated. The results showed that PP-4 had good ferrous-binding activity with 96.14 ± 2.86 µg Fe2+ mg-1 , and had a strong antioxidant effect with 995.61 ± 79.75 µmol TE mg-1 in 2,2'-azinobis'3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and 62.3 ± 3.95 µmol FeSO4 mg-1 in ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). After ferrous binding, the FRAP activity of PP-4-Fe, enhanced by 1.8 times, formed a more ordered structure with an increase in α-helix and decrease in γ-random coil. The ferrous binding sites of PP-4 involved were the amino, carboxyl, imidazole, and phosphate groups. The PP-4-Fe complex displayed excellent gastrointestinal stability and antioxidant effects during digestion. The iron dialysis percentage of PP-4-Fe was 74.59% ± 0.68%, and increased to 81.10% ± 0.89% with the addition of 0.25 times vitamin C (VC). This indicated that PP-4-Fe displayed excellent bioavailability and VC in sufficient quantities had a synergistic effect on improving bioavailability.CONCLUSIONS:
This study demonstrated that antioxidant phosvitin peptide was an efficient delivery system to protect ferrous ions and suggested that the phosvitin peptide-ferrous complex has strong potential as a ferrous supplement. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.Palavras-chave
