Table 3 Characteristics of the dispersions selected for in vitro gastrointestinal digestion

	D_{[3, 2]} (μm)	Viscosity at 40 s⁻¹, 25 °C (Pa s)	Gastric phase (soluble fraction wt%)	Intestinal phase (soluble fraction wt%)
MT60	96.1 ± 3. 1^a	Sedimentation	1.00 ± 0.04^a	2.15 ± 0.03^a
TT25	56.9 ± 0. 3^b	0.18 ± 0.06^a	0.97 ± 0.01^a	2.15 ± 0.03^a
TT100	59.1 ± 0. 2^b	0.07 ± 0.01^b	1.08 ± 0.08^a	2.20 ± 0.03^a

Particle size D_{[3, 2]} of the dispersions and apparent viscosity (40 s⁻¹) at 25 °C. Total solids (wt%) present in the soluble fraction of the gastric and intestinal fluids after digestion. Dispersions were processed by mechanical treatment for 60 s (MT60), mechanical treatment for 90 s at 25 °C (TT25), or by mechanical treatment for 90 s followed by thermal treatment at 100 °C (TT100). Sample MT60 quickly sediments, and the viscosity was not measured. Means in the same column with different letters are significantly different. Analysis was done on 3 independent measurements.
Different letters in each column denote significant differences between the samples (confidence interval 95%).
