Bioaccessibility of polyphenolic compounds in pea pods water-based extracts encapsulated in the NARC and ARC formulation.
| Samples | TPC mg GAE/g ± SD | |
|---|---|---|
| Pea pod extract | 8.22 ± 0.31 | |
| NARC | ARC | |
| Digestion Stage | ||
| Oral stage | N.D. | N.D. |
| Gastric stage | 1.12 ± 0.03 | N.D. |
| Duodenal stage | 1.84 ± 0.08 * | 2.01 ± 0.03 * |
| Pronase E | 1.95 ± 0.07 * | 3.39 ± 0.06 * |
