Phospholipid Powder Supplier, suppressor ingredient

Some components in the feed may inhibit the absorption of phospholipids, and the following is a specific introduction:

High-fiber Components: Dietary fibers such as cellulose and hemicellulose in the feed will increase the volume of the intestinal contents, accelerate the passage speed of food in the intestine, thus reducing the contact time between phospholipids and intestinal absorption cells and affecting the absorption of phospholipids. At the same time, dietary fibers may adsorb phospholipids to form complexes that are difficult to be acted on by digestive enzymes, hindering their digestion and absorption. For example, in feeds mainly composed of fiber-rich raw materials such as wheat bran, the absorption efficiency of phospholipids may decrease.

Phytic Acid: Phytic acid is a common anti-nutritional factor in plant-based feeds. It can form stable complexes with various metal ions (such as calcium, zinc, magnesium, etc.), and also bind to phospholipids. This binding will change the structure and properties of phospholipids, making it difficult for them to be decomposed by phospholipases in the intestine, thereby inhibiting the absorption of phospholipids. For example, feed raw materials such as corn and soybeans contain a certain amount of phytic acid. If not properly treated, it will have an adverse effect on the absorption of phospholipids in the feed.

Calcium: Excessive calcium will combine with phospholipids to form insoluble calcium-phospholipid complexes, reducing the solubility and digestibility of phospholipids. Generally speaking, when the calcium content in the feed is too high, especially in the case of an imbalance in the calcium-phosphorus ratio, the absorption of phospholipids will be significantly inhibited. For example, in some feeds with excessive addition of calcium sources such as limestone powder, the inhibitory effect of calcium on the absorption of phospholipids may occur.

Trypsin Inhibitors: Some feeds contain trypsin inhibitors, such as the Kunitz type and Bowman-Birk type trypsin inhibitors contained in soybeans. They will inhibit the activity of trypsin, and trypsin plays an important role in the digestion of proteins and the activation of some carrier proteins related to the absorption of phospholipids. The inhibition of trypsin activity will indirectly affect the absorption of phospholipids, because incomplete protein digestion will affect the absorption environment and absorption mechanism of various nutrients including phospholipids in the intestine.
