The hydrolysis degree of agave syrup modulates its functional properties: Impact on metabolic responses and oxidative stress in C57BL/6 mice

Nowadays, agave syrup (AS) is a controversial sweetener due to its high fructose content. However, the hydrolysis process to which AS is subjected could contribute to improving its functional properties. This work aimed to evaluate the relationship between the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of AS (95%: A...

Description
Summary:Nowadays, agave syrup (AS) is a controversial sweetener due to its high fructose content. However, the hydrolysis process to which AS is subjected could contribute to improving its functional properties. This work aimed to evaluate the relationship between the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of AS (95%: AS95, 88%: AS88, and 50%: AS50) and its functional properties. In addition, the impact of these properties on weight gain, blood biochemical parameters, and oxidative stress (lipids and proteins) was studied in C57BL/6 mice. By HPLC analysis, the main polyphenols identified in AS were catechin, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, vanillin, quercetin, naringin, rutin, ellagic acid, and gallic acid. As the DH of AS increased, its fructose concentration increased (p  0.05) in comparison to the control (water). However, mice drinking AS50 solutions showed a decrease (p
