The degradation of insulin released from dWPI beads over 4 h in SIF and SIF supplemented with pancreatin. Data are presented as (A) the percentage of insulin remaining following exposure to pancreatin, and (B) the effect of pancreatin on the cumulative release of insulin from the dWPI beads. In both cases, insulin released in the absence of pancreatin was used as a control. Native insulin (1 mg/mL) was used to confirm enzyme activity. (Mean ± SD, *** p < 0.001 compared to insulin beads in the absence of pancreatin, (n = 3).
