Whey protein and phenolic compound complexation: Effects on antioxidant capacity before and after in vitro digestion

TL;DR: The hydrophilicity profile of the digested samples suggested that pH of complexation and type of phenolic affected the protein cleavage pattern, and the phenolic compounds were more stable when associated with the protein since they were protected from the simulated gastrointestinal environment.
