Abstract:
This study systematically investigated the effects of sono-processing treatment on the stability and digestive characteristics of soy protein isolate (SPI) and myofibrillar protein (MPN) mixed systems. The sono-processing intensity in the SPI-MPN4 group reached 37.58%, which was approximately 4.12 times higher than that of the SPI-MPN2 system (9.12%), indicating significantly greater efficiency in structural modification. Consequently, the SPI-MPN4 system exhibited the most pronounced structural transformation, leading to reduced disordered aggregation and improved system stability. To be specific, the system stability of the SPI-MPN4 system was enhanced by 28.94% when compared with that of the SPI-MPN2 group. Additionally, structural analyses revealed that ultrasound effectively disrupted hydrogen bonds, reduced α-helix content, and promoted the assembly of structurally ordered SPI-MPN complexes. Notably, the random coil contents in SPI-MPN4 increased by approximately 22.70%, facilitating trypsin accessibility. These findings highlighted that sono-processing intensity changes were critical factors governing the structural alteration of the dual-protein system. This insight was pivotal for designing targeted and energy-efficient processing strategies in the future.

Mechanical and Chemical Digestion in the Small Intestine
Mechanical digestion in the small intestine involves movements such as segmentations and migrating motility complexes (MMCs), primarily controlled by the myenteric plexus. Segmentations are localized contractions occurring in areas of the intestine distended by chyme—a mixture of partially digested food. These contractions mix chyme with digestive juices, facilitating...
