In this paper we report the importance of swelling on gastric digestion of protein gels, which is rarely recognized in literature. Whey protein gels with NaCl concentrations 0-0.1 M were used as model foods. The Young's modulus, swelling ratio, acid uptake and digestion rate of the gels were measured. Pepsin transport was observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy using green fluorescent protein (GFP). With the increase of NaCl in gels, Young's modulus increased, swelling was reduced and digestion was slower, with a reduction of acid
