To investigate the effect of the molecular weight of tilapia skin collagen peptide fractions on their zinc chelation capacity and the bioaccessibility of their zinc complexes, we evaluated the zinc-chelating ability of different molecular weight peptide, the solubility, and the stability of the complexes during simulated in vitro digestion. Low molecular weight peptide (P1) exhibited a higher zinc-chelating ability, which can be attributed to the variety of metal chelate amino acid residues. The highest solubility and the lowest release of zinc during peptic digestion for the P1-zinc complex and the zinc binding to P1 were retained at approximately 50% after peptic-pancreatic digestion. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicated the primary involvement of the N-H group in all peptide-zinc complexes. This finding suggests that low molecular weight peptidefraction with strong zinc chelation ability can be used as delivery agents to improve zinc bioaccessibility.
