本研究构建了一套体外模拟消化人工肠道系统，评估了该系统在使用过程中的密封性和无菌性，分别以单组分结冷胶和双组分结冷胶与壳聚糖形成的微凝胶为消化物，考察其在本系统中的体外模拟消化过程。结果表明，该系统具有良好的密封及抗菌性，具备体外消化模拟系统的使用条件；通过观察消化前后微凝胶光学显微镜图、Zeta电位、粒径分布和平均尺寸等结果，可以看出结冷胶微凝胶在胃消化时部分水解，而结冷胶@壳聚糖微凝胶在胃部不易被水解，经过肠道消化后两种微凝胶结构均发生破碎，结冷胶微凝胶破碎的程度更大。在人工肠道模拟系统消化后的结冷胶微凝胶的体积平均粒径较摇床减小了6.21%，结冷胶@壳聚糖微凝胶的体积平均粒径较摇床减小了4.51%，说明人工肠道模拟系统对于微凝胶的消化更彻底。总之，这种人工肠道模拟系统有望成为体外消化模拟的模式平台，助力于促进胃肠道功能及食物消化行为方面的研究。

In this study, an artificial intestinal simulation system that can be used to simulate digestion in vitro was constructed, and the sealing and sterility ability of this system were firstly evaluated. Then, the simulated digestion process of digestive substances from gellan gum microgel and gellan gum@chitosan microgel were investigated. The results showed that the system had good sealing and antibacterial properties, and was suitable for the use of in vitro digestion simulation system. By observing the microgel optical microscopy, Zeta potential, particle size distribution and average size before and after digestion, it could be seen that the gellan gum microgel was partially hydrolyzed during digestion in the stomach, while the gellan gum@chitosan microgel was not easily hydrolyzed in the stomach. After intestinal digestion, the two kinds of microgel structures were broken, and the gellan gum microgel was broken to a greater extent. Compared with the rotary shaker, the surface weighted mean size of gellan gum and gellan gum@chitosan microgel after digestion in the artificial intestinal simulation system decreased by 6.21% and 4.51%, respectively, indicating that the artificial intestinal simulation system digested the microgels more thoroughly. In conclusion, the artificial intestinal simulation system is hope to become a model platform for in vitro digestion simulation, and further help to promote the research of gastrointestinal function and food digestion behavior.
