Peas (Pisum sativum L.) have a potential commercial value because of their high protein content, non-GMO status, low allergenicity. This study examined changes in the digestion and absorption properties of enzyme-modified and fermented pea protein (EFPP) produced through enzymatic treatment of pea protein and fermentation with lactic acid bacteria. EFPP was digested 22.50% more than isolated pea protein (IPP) during the first 15 min in vitro digestion model. Based on the Caco-2 cell monolayer model, EFPP showed 38.40% higher bioavailability than IPP. Gel Permeation Chromatography showed that the average molecular weight of EFPP was 98.79% lower than that of IPP. The secondary structure of protein was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and it showed a 53.92% reduction in β-sheet of EFPP than IPP. These results indicate that enzyme treatment and fermentation of pea protein reduced the molecular weight, modified the secondary structure, and improved digestibility and bioavailability.
