Cross-linked Emulsion Study
21 juni 2012 uppdaterad av: Quadram Institute Bioscience
A Pilot Study on the Effect of Protein Cross-linking on Gastric Layering and Emptying of a Food Emulsion
This comparative pilot study is designed to compare the rates of gastric emptying and by inference rates of digestion of two food emulsions.
Two types of milk protein stabilised food emulsion will be compared, one standard emulsion preparation and one emulsion preparation cross-linked with microbial transglutaminase.
The information from this study will then be compared to data on satiety and endocrine hormones from a parallel study undertaken in Finland using the same two meal formulations.
The drinks will be labeled with a stable isotope of carbon and samples of breath collected every 20 minutes after consumption of the drink.
This will allow gastric residence time to be calculated.
The pilot will also fulfill two secondary objectives.
At the same time as the breath samples are collected MRI scans of the upper abdomen will be made so that gastric volumes can be measured in order to compare the two methods of measuring gastric emptying rates.
Additionally, samples of saliva will also be collected after every MRI scan for subsequent mass spectrometry analysis.
These are to assess the efficacy of mass spectrometry analysis for detection of the presence of specific digestion related hormones such as ghrelin.

- Willing to eat the "milkshake" style emulsion
- Provides written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:

- Have had surgery on the stomach or intestine or suffered from gastrointestinal disease, whether diagnosed or self reported
- A history of TB or hepatitis.
- Regular (more than once in 10 days) use of antacids, laxatives
- Diagnosis with any mouth, dental, throat or digestive problem that may affect normal eating and digestion of food.
- Take prescription medication for digestive or gastrointestinal conditions.

- Blood pressure greater than 160/100 or less than 90/50 or 95/55 if symptomatic.
- Individuals with special dietary requirements (eg vegetarians)
- People with eating disorders (eg. anorexia, bulimia)
- If any of the clinical screening results are indicative of a health problem which would affect the volunteers well-being or which would affect the study data.
- Refusal to give permission to inform GP of participation in study
- Allergic to any of the constituents of the test meal
- Recent unexplained weight gain or loss
- History of back problems or any other condition which limit ability to repeatedly sit up and lie down
- Hiatus Hernia
MRI scanning specific exclusion criteria

Experimentell: transglutaminase cross-linking of emulsion
The impact of enzyme cross linking of the protein stabilising the test emulsion on gastric emptying rate will be assessed.
In this crossover study the subjects will also consume ( on a separate day)an emulsion of the same formulation but not cross-linked.
|
This study will assess whether a subtle change in food structure (cross-linking of interfacial protein) can alter gastric emptying rate.
