Re: intestinal barrier
Among carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, your answer depends on your definition of complete degradation. There are carbohydrates that pass through even as pentasaccharides, but most polysaccharides are usually broken down to molecules of usually a max of 6 to 7 monomers only, much more commonly to mono and di saccharides.similarly with proteins and lipids.maybe your looking for the percentage of molecules that don't get completely degraded, well in that case, I guess it depends on individual systems, the amount of enzymes secreted from person to person, etc.
