. The pectin microparticles
remained intact when exposed to simulated gastrointestinal conditions at pH 1.2, 3.0 and after 300 min at
pH 7.0. On the other hand, both microparticles coated with whey protein heat treated or without heat treatment
have remained intact for 120 min exposure to simulated gastric juice but have disintegrated after 300 min exposure
to simulated intestinal juice (pH 7.0)
