Alginate as a protease inhibitor in vitro and in a model gut system; selective inhibition of pepsin but not trypsin
•Alginate inhibits proteolytic activity of pepsin but not trypsin.•Level of pepsin inhibition correlates with alginate F[M].•An in vitro model gut system was used to model alginate inhibition of proteolysis.•Proteolysis inhibited in gastric phase of digestion, but not small intestinal phase.•pH depe...
