Enhancing the emulsion properties and bioavailability of loaded astaxanthin by selecting the reaction sequence of ternary conjugate emulsifiers in nanoemulsions. Food Chem 2024; 449:139310. [PMID: 38608612 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of the conjugate reaction sequences of whey protein concentrate (WPC), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and dextran (DEX) on the structure and emulsion properties of conjugates and the bioaccessibility of astaxanthin (AST). Two types of ternary covalent complexes were synthesised using WPC, EGCG and DEX, which were regarded as emulsifiers of AST nanoemulsions. Results indicated that the WPC-DEX-EGCG conjugate (referred to as 'con') exhibits a darker SDS-PAGE dispersion band and higher contents of α-helix (6%), β-angle (24%) and random coil (32%), resulting in a greater degree of unfolding structure and fluorescence quenching. These findings suggested WPC-DEX-EGCG con had the potential to exhibit better emulsification properties than WPC-EGCG-DEX con. AST encapsulation efficiency (76.22%) and bioavailability (31.89%) also demonstrated the superior performance of the WPC-DEX-EGCG con emulsifier in nanoemulsion delivery systems. These findings indicate that altering reaction sequences changes protein conformation, enhancing the emulsification properties and bioavailability of AST.

Nanoencapsulation of hybrid crude palm oil Unaué HIE OxG with jackfruit by-products as encapsulants: A study of cellular antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity in Caco-2 cells. Food Chem 2024; 448:139009. [PMID: 38522297 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 03/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
Hybrid crude palm oil (HCPO) HIE OxG is notable for its abundance of carotenoids, tocopherols, and tocotrienols. Investigating cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) and the non-cytotoxicity of oil nanoparticles is crucial for understanding the behavior of these phytochemicals in biological systems and ensuring the safety of products. Nanoparticles of HCPO, encapsulated with jackfruit by-products were produced and characterized for CAA and cytotoxicity in Caco-2 cells. The nanoparticles exhibited nanoscale diameters (<250 nm), uniform distribution and stability (polydispersity index < 0.25; zeta potential JSF-NP -12.46 ± 0.15 mV and JAF-NP -13.73 ± 1.28 mV). JSF-NP and JAF-NP demonstrated superior CAA compared to the free HCPO across all concentrations, without inducing cytotoxic effects on differentiated Caco-2 cells. This study underscores the importance of investigating the CAA of edible oil nanoparticles, with non-cytotoxicity indicating biological safety and the potential to safeguard intestinal epithelial cells. Thus, JSF-NP and JAF-NP emerge as promising delivery systems for future HCPO applications.

Zhang S, Li C. A curcumin-loaded biopolymeric nanocomposite alleviates dextran sulfate sodium induced ulcerative colitis via suppression of inflammation and oxidative stress. Int J Biol Macromol 2024:133665.

Abstract
Functional drugs nano delivery systems manufactured from natural active products are promising for the field of biomedicines. In this study, an anti-ulcerative colitis (UC) curcumin loaded biopolymeric nanocomposite (CZNH) was fabricated and investigated. CZNH nanocomposite was obtained using the anti-solvent precipitation method, wherein curcumin-loaded zein colloidal particles served as the core, while sodium casein (NaCas) and hyaluronic acid (HA) formed the outermost layer of CZNH nanocomposite. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) findings demonstrated that CZNH nanocomposite was a double-layer spherical micelle (250 nm) resulting from the hydrogen bond interactions and electrostatic adsorptions between zein, NaCas, and HA. Furthermore, CZNH nanocomposite exhibited prominent resuspension and storage stability in aqueous solution, which can be stored at 4 °C for approximately 30 days. In vivo anti-UC studies showed that CZNH nanocomposite could effectively alleviate UC symptoms via mediating inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and IL-6], myeloperoxidase (MPO), and oxidative stress factor [malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px)]. This study suggested that the CZNH nanocomposite showed great promise as an efficient curcumin nanocarrier for UC therapy.

A stable delivery system for curcumin: Fabrication and characterization of self-assembling acylated kidney bean protein isolate nanogels. Food Chem 2024; 443:138526.

Abstract
The construction of protein-based nano-gels as curcumin delivery system effectively enhances the stability and bioavailability of curcumin. In this study, acylation modification and self-assembly techniques were jointly employed to construct acylated kidney bean protein isolate (AKBPI)-nanogels. Optimal conditions for AKBPI-nanogels were determined to be pH 7, concentration of 2 mg/mL, and temperature at 90℃ for 30 min. The optimized AKBPI-nanogels exhibited excellent uniformity as evidenced by decreasing average particle size (137.35 nm) and polydispersity index (0.38). Acylation enhanced the intermolecular interactions within the nanogel by reducing the polarity of tyrosine microenvironment and free sulfhydryl groups. AKBPI-nanogels demonstrated remarkable characteristics in terms of pH sensitivity, salt concentration, and storage tolerance. The curcumin-loaded AKBPI-nanogels exhibited an encapsulation efficiency of 92.30 % and maintained high antioxidant activity. In simulated gastrointestinal digestion, AKBPI-nanogels facilitated the controlled release and higher bioavailability of curcumin. Therefore, AKBPI-nanogels can be a stable tool for delivering curcumin.

Abstract
Lutein possesses various physiological activities but is susceptible to light degradation, thermal degradation, and oxidative degradation. As such, protecting the activity of lutein-based products using natural extracts has become a current research. In this study, lutein was protected by complexing inulin-type fructan (ITF), soybean protein isolate (SPI), and epicatechin (EC), and the protection mechanism of epicatechin-fructan glycosylated soybean protein isolate (EC-GSPI) toward lutein was elucidated comprehensively. The results showed that the addition of EC delayed the degradation of lutein. The results of light stability experiments showed that increased EC significantly enhanced the storage time of the GSPI-Lutein system from 4 to 13 days. Additionally, the effect of EC on glycosylated soybean 7S globulin (G7S) and glycosylated soybean 11S globulin (G11S) was assessed. The light stability of G11S-Lutein and G7S-Lutein after the addition of EC was from G11S > G7S → G7S > G11S. Furthermore, the proteins purified from SPI interacted differently with EC and ITF, with soybean 7S globulin (7S) mainly interacting with EC and soybean 11S globulin (11S) mainly interacting with ITF. EC-GSPI-Lutein exhibited a good protective effect, probably due to the occurrence of hygrothermal Maillard between ITF and 11S, providing a porous structure for lutein storage. At the same time, the binding of EC to 7S significantly enhanced the antioxidant property of the solution and the stability of the protein secondary structure, thereby prolonging the storage time of lutein.

Foods 2024; 13:1246. [PMID: 38672918 PMCID: PMC11049361 DOI: 10.3390/foods13081246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
A reliable strategy for improving the stability and shelf life of protein-stabilized systems is by covalently attaching the protein onto a polysaccharide. In this study, ovalbumin (OVA) was modified with dextran (DEX) of different molecular weights by the Maillard reaction, and was used to enhance the stability of emulsions loaded with resveratrol. The surface hydrophobicity, thermal stability, and FT-IR spectroscopy of the OVA-DEX conjugates were evaluated. The results showed that the surface hydrophobicity of OVA decreased, while the thermal stability of OVA was significantly improved after DEX covalent modification. The OVA-DEX1k-stabilized emulsion exhibited high encapsulation efficiency of resveratrol, with the value of 89.0%. In addition, OVA-DEX was considerably more effective in droplet stabilization against different environmental stresses (heat, pH, and ionic strength). After 28 days of storage at 25 °C, the OVA-stabilized emulsion showed faster decomposition of resveratrol, whereas the OVA-DEX-conjugate-stabilized emulsion had approximately 73% retention of resveratrol. Moreover, the antioxidant activity of resveratrol-loaded emulsions stabilized by OVA-DEX was higher during storage under different temperatures. These results proved that the OVA-DEX conjugates had the potential to form stable, food-grade emulsion-based delivery systems against environmental stresses, which strongly supports their potential in the field of food and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of visual impairment in the aging population, lacks effective treatment options due to a limited understanding of its pathogenesis. Lutein, with its strong antioxidant properties and ability to mitigate AMD by absorbing ultraviolet (UV) rays, faces challenges related to its stability and bioavailability in functional foods. In this study, we aimed to develop delivery systems using protein-saccharide conjugates to enhance lutein delivery and protect adult retinal pigment epithelial (ARPE-19) cells against sodium iodate (NaIO3)-induced damage. Various saccharides, including mannose, galactose, lactose, maltose, dextran, and maltodextrin, were conjugated to casein via the Maillard reaction for lutein delivery. The resulting lutein-loaded nanoparticles exhibited small size and spherical characteristics and demonstrated improved thermal stability and antioxidant capacity compared to free lutein. Notably, these nanoparticles were found to be nontoxic, as evidenced by reduced levels of cellular reactive oxygen species production (167.50 ± 3.81, 119.57 ± 3.45, 195.15 ± 1.41, 183.96 ± 3.11, 254.21 ± 3.97, 283.56 ± 7.27%) and inhibition of the mitochondrial membrane potential decrease (58.60 ± 0.29, 65.05 ± 2.91, 38.88 ± 1.81, 42.95 ± 1.39, 23.52 ± 1.04, 25.24 ± 0.08%) caused by NaIO3, providing protection against cellular damage and death. Collectively, our findings suggest that lutein-loaded nanoparticles synthesized via the Maillard reaction hold promise for enhanced solubility, oral bioavailability, and biological efficacy in the treatment of AMD.

Abstract
Apricot polysaccharides (APs) as new types of natural carriers for encapsulating and delivering active pharmaceutical ingredients can achieve high-value utilization of apricot pulp and improve the solubility, the stability, and the antibacterial activity of insoluble compounds simultaneously. In this research, the purified APs reacted with bovine serum albumin (BSA) by the Maillard reaction, and with d-α-tocopheryl succinate (TOS) and pheophorbide A (PheoA) by grafting to fabricate two materials for the preparation of curcumin (Cur)-encapsulated AP-BSA nanoparticles (CABNs) and Cur-embedded TOS-AP-PheoA micelles (CTAPMs), respectively. The biological activities of two Cur nano-delivery systems were evaluated. APs consisted of arabinose (22.36%), galactose (7.88%), glucose (34.46%), and galacturonic acid (31.32%) after the optimized extraction. Transmission electron microscopy characterization of CABNs and CTAPMs displayed a discrete and non-aggregated morphology with a spherical shape. Compared to the unencapsulated Cur, the release rates of CABNs and CTAPMs decreased from 87% to 70% at 3 h and from 92% to 25% at 48 h, respectively. The antioxidant capacities of CABNs and CTAPMs were significantly improved. The CTAPMs exhibited a better antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli than CABNs due to the synergistic photosensitive effect between Cur and PheoA.

Abstract
Oral drug delivery is a prevalent and cost-effective method due to its advantages, such as increased drug absorption surface area and improved patient compliance. However, delivering proteins and peptides orally remains a challenge due to their vulnerability to degradation by digestive enzymes, stomach acids, and limited intestinal membrane permeability, resulting in poor bioavailability. The use of nanotechnology has emerged as a promising solution to enhance the bioavailability of these vital therapeutic agents. Polymeric NPs, made from natural or synthetic polymers, are commonly used. Natural polysaccharides, such as alginate, chitosan, dextran, starch, pectin, etc., have gained preference due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, and versatility in encapsulating various drug types. Their hydrophobic-hydrophilic properties can be tailored to suit different drug molecules.

Abstract
Cordycepin gets rapidly metabolized in the body into inactive form due to its structural similarity to adenosine, thus inhibiting its development as a medicinal agent. This study was aimed to improve the solubility and stability of cordycepin, a potential drug with known antiproliferative activity, by encapsulating it in bovine serum albumin: β-cyclodextrin nanoparticles. Cordycepin-loaded nanoparticles (CLNPs) were synthesized using the antisolvent method and characterized thoroughly using various techniques. Our dynamic light scattering measurement showed a particle size and zeta potential of 160 ± 2.75 nm and -20.21 ± 2.1 mV, respectively, for CLNPs. Transmission electron microscopy studies revealed that particles were spherical in morphology. These CLNPs showed sustained release of cordycepin with encapsulation and loading efficiency of 81.62 ± 1.5 and 27.02 ± 2.0%, respectively, based on high-performance liquid chromatography and UV-vis studies. Based on differential scanning calorimetry and zeta potential studies, CLNPs improve cordycepin stability and solubility. Our molecular simulations and binding energy calculation also showed favorable protein interaction between cordycepin, bovine serum albumin, and β-cyclodextrin, further supporting the notion of improved stability. In vitro cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and cellular uptake studies on breast cancer cells showed that the synthesized nanoparticles had greater cytotoxicity as compared to free cordycepin.

Effects of Pulsed Electric Field on the Physicochemical and Structural Properties of Micellar Casein. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:3311. [PMID: 37571205 PMCID: PMC10422647 DOI: 10.3390/polym15153311] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Pulsed electric field (PEF) as a green processing technology is drawing greater attention due to its eco-friendliness and potential to promote sustainable development goals. In this study, the effects of different electric field strengths (EFS, 0-30 kV/cm) on the structure and physicochemical features of casein micelles (CSMs) were investigated. It was found that the particle sizes of CSMs increased at low EFS (10 kV/cm) but decreased at high EFS (30 kV/cm). The absolute ζ-potential at 30 kV/cm increased from -26.6 (native CSMs) to -29.5 mV. Moreover, it was noticed that PEF treatment leads to changes in the surface hydrophobicity; it slightly increased at low EFS (10 kV/cm) but decreased at EFS > 10 kV/cm. PEF enhanced the protein solubility from 84.9 (native CSMs) to 87.1% (at 10 kV/cm). PEF at low EFS (10 kV/cm) intensified the emission fluorescence spectrum of CSMs, while higher EFS reduced the fluorescence intensity compared to native CSMs. Moreover, the analysis of the Amide Ι region showed that PEF-treated CSMs reduced the α-helix and increased the β-sheet content. Raman spectra confirmed that PEF treatment > 10 kV/cm buried tyrosine (Tyr) residues in a hydrophobic environment. It was also found that PEF treatment mainly induced changes in the disulfide linkages. In conclusion, PEF technology can be employed as an eco-friendly technology to change the structure and physiochemical properties of CSMs; this could improve their techno-functional properties.

Abstract
Management of chronic inflammation and wounds has always been a key issue in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. Curcumin (CCM) is an active ingredient extracted from turmeric rhizomes with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities, thus showing significant effectiveness toward wound healing. However, its shortcomings, such as poor water solubility, poor chemical stability, and fast metabolic rate, limit its bioavailability and long-term use. In this context, hydrogels appear to be a versatile matrix for carrying and stabilizing drugs due to their biomimetic structure, soft porous microarchitecture, and favorable biomechanical properties. The drug loading/releasing efficiencies can also be controlled via using highly crystalline and porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Herein, a flexible hydrogel composed of a sodium alginate (SA) matrix and CCM-loaded MOFs was constructed for long-term drug release and antibacterial activity. The morphology and physicochemical properties of composite hydrogels were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Raman spectroscopy, and mechanical property tests. The results showed that the composite hydrogel was highly twistable and bendable to comply with human skin mechanically. The as-prepared hydrogel could capture efficient CCM for slow drug release and effectively kill bacteria. Therefore, such composite hydrogel is expected to provide a new management system for chronic wound dressings.

Abstract
Dextranase is a type of hydrolase that is responsible for catalyzing the breakdown of high-molecular-weight dextran into low-molecular-weight polysaccharides. This process is called dextranolysis. A select group of bacteria and fungi, including yeasts and likely certain complex eukaryotes, produce dextranase enzymes as extracellular enzymes that are released into the environment. These enzymes join dextran's α-1,6 glycosidic bonds to make glucose, exodextranases, or isomalto-oligosaccharides (endodextranases). Dextranase is an enzyme that has a wide variety of applications, some of which include the sugar business, the production of human plasma replacements, the treatment of dental plaque and its protection, and the creation of human plasma replacements. Because of this, the quantity of studies carried out on worldwide has steadily increased over the course of the past couple of decades. The major focus of this study is on the most current advancements in the production, administration, and properties of microbial dextranases. This will be done throughout the entirety of the review.

Abstract
In this study, we used succinic anhydride (SA) acylation and dextran (DX) glycosylation modified soybean isolate protein (SPI) to develop self-assembled SPI-SA-DX adduct-based nanogels. Degree of modification, SDS-PAGE, and FT-IR studies showed that the amino group of the SPI was replaced by hydrophilic dextran and succinic acid carboxyl groups. Dextran chain and anhydride group attachment to the soybean protein surface enhanced hydrophilicity and spatial site blocking. Modification-induced protein structure unfolding, free sulfhydryl groups to be converted to disulfide bonds, and reduced surface hydrophobicity (H0). H0 was lowest at 33,750 ± 1008.29 when SA content = 10 % protein content (SPI-SA3-DX). The nanometer gel based on SPI-SA3-DX had the maximum turbidity and clear transparent solution without precipitation. Its particle size and polymer dispersibility index (PDI) were also the smallest, with values of (106.87 ± 4.51) nm and 0.21 ± 0.009, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy showed that nanogels had subspherical shell-core structures. Nanogels were stable under different pH, ionic strength, high temperature, and storage conditions.

Abstract
It is highly desirable to develop smart and green pesticide nanoformulations for improving pesticide targeting and reducing their inherent toxicity. Herein, we demonstrate a continuous nanoprecipitation method to construct a novel type of enzyme-responsive fluorescent nanopesticides (denoted as ABM@BSA-FITC/GA NPs) based on abamectin, fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer (FITC)-modified protein, and food-grade gum arabic. The as-prepared ABM@BSA-FITC/GA NPs exhibit good water dispersibility, excellent storage stability, and enhanced wettability compared to commercial formulations. The controlled release of pesticides can be achieved through protein degradation caused by trypsin. Most importantly, the deposition, distribution, and transport of the ABM@BSA-FITC/GA NPs are precisely tracked on target plants (cabbage and cucumber) by fluorescence. Furthermore, the ABM@BSA-FITC/GA NPs show the high control efficacy against Plutella xylostella L., which is comparable with commercial emulsifiable concentrate formulation. In consideration of its eco-friendly composition and absence of organic solvent, this pesticide nanoformulation has promising potential in sustainable plant protection.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic syndrome disorder. Here, hepatic parenchymal cell and mitochondrial-targeted nanocarriers were constructed to deliver astaxanthin (AST) to liver tissue to maximize AST intervention efficiency. The hepatic parenchymal cell-targeting was achieved using galactose (Gal) conjugated onto whey protein isolate (WPI) through the Maillard reaction by recognizing asialoglycoprotein receptors specifically expressed in hepatocytes. Grafting triphenylphosphonium (TPP) onto glycosylated WPI by an amidation reaction enabled the nanocarriers (AST@TPP-WPI-Gal) to achieve dual targeting capability. The AST@TPP-WPI-Gal nanocarriers could target mitochondria in steatotic HepG2 cells with an enhanced anti-oxidative and anti-adipogenesis effect. The ability of AST@TPP-WPI-Gal to target liver tissue was verified by an NAFLD mice model, and the results showed that AST@TPP-WPI-Gal could regulate blood lipid disorders, protect liver function, and remarkably reduce liver lipid accumulation (40%) compared with that of free AST. Therefore, AST@TPP-WPI-Gal might have potential as a dual targeting hepatic agent for nutritional intervention for NAFLD.

Abstract
We report for the first time that curcumin is successfully encapsulated into a new natural pre-formed carrier, which was derived from arthrospore cell wall particles (APs) of probiotic Geotrichum candidum LG-8 and mainly composed of beta-1,4-glucan. Vacuum infusion process was used for efficient encapsulation of curcumin. The results showed that the encapsulation efficiency and yield of APs were 36.5 ± 0.9 % and 730.6 ± 26.5 μg/g (wet basis), respectively. Compared with the other probiotic carriers such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it could more effectively maintain the antioxidant property and storage capacity of curcumin under high temperature conditions. Simulated digestion was conducted to study in vitro release of curcumin encapsulated in APs, and showed a maximum bioaccessibility of 65.6 ± 3.8 %. In view of low-cost culture method, simple encapsulation process and high encapsulation capacity, G. candidum arthrospores as new natural encapsulation carriers have potential superiority in the practical application in food industry.

Abstract
Biopolymeric nanoparticles are gaining importance as nanocarriers for various biomedical applications, enabling long-term and controlled release at the target site. Since they are promising delivery systems for various therapeutic agents and offer advantageous properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and stability compared to various toxic metal nanoparticles, we decided to provide an overview on this topic. Therefore, the review focuses on the use of biopolymeric nanoparticles of animal, plant, algal, fungal, and bacterial origin as a sustainable material for potential use as drug delivery systems. A particular focus is on the encapsulation of many different therapeutic agents categorized as bioactive compounds, drugs, antibiotics, and other antimicrobial agents, extracts, and essential oils into protein- and polysaccharide-based nanocarriers. These show promising benefits for human health, especially for successful antimicrobial and anticancer activity. The review article, divided into protein-based and polysaccharide-based biopolymeric nanoparticles and further according to the origin of the biopolymer, enables the reader to select the appropriate biopolymeric nanoparticles more easily for the incorporation of the desired component. The latest research results from the last five years in the field of the successful production of biopolymeric nanoparticles loaded with various therapeutic agents for healthcare applications are included in this review.

In this study, the influence of casein-caffeic acid-glucose ternary conjugate (CSC) on the physicochemical properties and bioaccessibility of astaxanthin-loaded emulsion was investigated and compared with sodium caseinate (CSN), a synthetic emulsifier commonly used in the food industry. The CSC-stabilized emulsion exhibits droplet characteristics similar to CSN-stabilized emulsion, and can effectively resist the external forces that lead to the phase separation of the emulsion. Although phase separation also occurred at pH 4.0, CSC emulsion had a wider range of pH stability (pH 3.0, 5.0-8.0) and higher salt ion stability than CSN emulsion. Furthermore, CSC-stabilized astaxanthin emulsions showed better astaxanthin protection under different heat treatment conditions and storage temperatures compared with CSN. After 28 days of storage at 4 °C, astaxanthin residues in the CSC-stabilized emulsion reached 92.37 %. The bioaccessibility of astaxanthin in CSC-stabilized emulsion was 26.21 %, much higher than that in CSN (6.47 %). This research study provides a platform for designing astaxanthin-fortified food or beverage systems to achieve better stability and delivery to target sites.

Abstract
Due to its poor stability and rapid metabolism, the biological activity and absorption of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is limited. In this work, EGCG-loaded bovine serum albumin (BSA)/pullulan (PUL) nanoparticles (BPENs) were successfully fabricated via self-assembly. This assembly was driven by hydrogen bonding, which provided the desired EGCG loading efficiency, high stability, and a strong antioxidant capacity. The encapsulation efficiency of the BPENs was above 99.0%. BPENs have high antioxidant activity in vitro, and, in this study, their antioxidant capacity increased with an increase in the EGCG concentration. The in vitro release assays showed that the BPENs were released continuously over 6 h. The Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) analysis indicated the presence of hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and electrostatic interactions, which were the driving forces for the formation of the EGCG carrier nanoparticles. Furthermore, the transmission electron microscope (TEM) images demonstrated that the BSA/PUL-based nanoparticles (BPNs) and BPENs both exhibited regular spherical particles. In conclusion, BPENs are good delivery carriers for enhancing the stability and antioxidant activity of EGCG.

Abstract
In this study, soy β-conglycinin (7S) was glycated with dextran of different molecular masses (40, 70, 150, 500 kDa) by the dry-heating method to synthesize soy β-conglycinin-dextran (7S-DEX) conjugates. The curcumin (Cur) loaded nanocomplexes were prepared based on 7S-DEX conjugates by a pH-driven self-assemble strategy to enhance the solubility and thermal stability of curcumin. Results showed that the 7S-150 conjugates (glycated from 7S with dextran (150 kDa)) could remain stable in the pH 3.0-pH 8.0 range and during the heat treatment. The results of fluorescence quenching and FT-IR indicated that glycated 7S were combined with curcumin mainly by hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction, and 7S-150 conjugates had higher binding affinity than natural 7S for curcumin. The loading capacity (μg/mg) and encapsulation efficiency (EE%) of 7S-150-Cur were 16.06 μg/mg and 87.51%, respectively, significantly higher than that of 7S-Cur (12.41 μg/mg, 51.15%). The XRD spectrum showed that curcumin was exhibited in an amorphous state within the 7S-150-Cur nanocomplexes. After heating at 65 °C for 30 min, the curcumin retention of the 7S-150-Cur nanocomplexes was about 1.4 times higher than that of free curcumin. The particle size of 7S-150-Cur nanocomplexes was stable (in the range of 10-100 nm) during the long storage time (21 days).

Abstract
RES-ALA-CHI colloidal particles were fabricated as CUR-loaded HIPPEs stabilizers. RES-ALA-CHI nanoparticle pronouncedly enhanced the chemical stability of CUR. Lipolysis of HIPPEs can be controlled with RES-ALA-CHI colloidal particles. CUR bioaccessibility can be controlled with RES-ALA-CHI colloidal particles.
The use of antioxidant-loaded protein-polysaccharide nanoparticle in stabilizing and delivering curcumin with high internal phase Pickering emulsions is comparatively scarce. Resveratrol (RES)-loaded α-lactalbumin (ALA)-chitosan (CHI) particles were fabricated and used for curcumin-loaded high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs) stabilization and delivery. CLSM illustrated that RES-ALA-CHI nanoparticles were effectively adsorbed on oil/water (O/W) interface and a gel-like structure was formed surrounding oil droplets. All HIPPEs exhibited excellent physical stability. CUR retention was 75.4 % for HIPPEs with RES-ALA-CHI colloidal particles, which was appreciably higher than that with ALA-CHI colloidal particles (63.9 %) after 30 days storage. Compared to bulk medium-chain triglyceride (MCT), both lipolysis extent and curcumin (CUR) bioaccessibility were pronouncedly enhanced with HIPPEs-based delivery systems. But both HIPPEs (51.4 % and 43.7 %) exhibited lower extent of lipolysis than conventional emulsions (90.4 %). The occurrence of RES significantly restrained the lipolysis. These results demonstrated that HIPPEs could be excellent delivery systems for delivering lipophilic curcumin.

Abstract
Recent advancements and growing attention about free radicals (ROS) and redox signaling enable the scientific fraternity to consider their involvement in the pathophysiology of inflammatory diseases, metabolic disorders, and neurological defects. Free radicals increase the concentration of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in the biological system through different endogenous sources and thus increased the overall oxidative stress. An increase in oxidative stress causes cell death through different signaling mechanisms such as mitochondrial impairment, cell-cycle arrest, DNA damage response, inflammation, negative regulation of protein, and lipid peroxidation. Thus, an appropriate balance between free radicals and antioxidants becomes crucial to maintain physiological function. Since the 1brain requires high oxygen for its functioning, it is highly vulnerable to free radical generation and enhanced ROS in the brain adversely affects axonal regeneration and synaptic plasticity, which results in neuronal cell death. In addition, increased ROS in the brain alters various signaling pathways such as apoptosis, autophagy, inflammation and microglial activation, DNA damage response, and cell-cycle arrest, leading to memory and learning defects. Mounting evidence suggests the potential involvement of micro-RNAs, circular-RNAs, natural and dietary compounds, synthetic inhibitors, and heat-shock proteins as therapeutic agents to combat neurological diseases. Herein, we explain the mechanism of free radical generation and its role in mitochondrial, protein, and lipid peroxidation biology. Further, we discuss the negative role of free radicals in synaptic plasticity and axonal regeneration through the modulation of various signaling molecules and also in the involvement of free radicals in various neurological diseases and their potential therapeutic approaches. The primary cause of free radical generation is drug overdosing, industrial air pollution, toxic heavy metals, ionizing radiation, smoking, alcohol, pesticides, and ultraviolet radiation. Excessive generation of free radicals inside the cell R1Q1 increases reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, which causes oxidative damage. An increase in oxidative damage alters different cellular pathways and processes such as mitochondrial impairment, DNA damage response, cell cycle arrest, and inflammatory response, leading to pathogenesis and progression of neurodegenerative disease other neurological defects.

Abstract
In this study, glycated soy β-conglycinin (β-CG) stabilized curcumin (Cur) composites were fabricated by a unique reversible self-assembly character of β-conglycinin-dextran conjugates (β-CG-DEX). Intrinsic fluorescence and far-UV CD spectra revealed that glycation did not affect the self-assembly property of β-CG in the pH-shifting treatment. The structure of β-CG-DEX could be unfolded at pH 12.0 and reassembled during acidification (from pH 12.0 to 7.0). Meanwhile, β-CG-DEX-3d, which was incubated at 60 °C for 3 days, exhibited a high loading capacity (123.4 mg/g) for curcumin, which far exceeds that (74.90 mg/g) of β-CG-Cur. Moreover, the reassembled β-CG-DEX-3d-Cur showed eminent antioxidant activity of approximately 1.5 times higher than that of free curcumin. During the simulated gastrointestinal condition, compared with β-CG-Cur, β-CG-DEX-3d-Cur nanoparticles showed a more stable and sustained release of curcumin. Thus, β-CG-DEX has immense potential to become a new delivery carrier for hydrophobic food components by means of a self-assembly strategy.

Abstract
As unique biopolymeric architectures, covalently and electrostatically protein-polysaccharide (PRO-POL) systems can be utilized for bioactive delivery by virtue of their featured structures and unique physicochemical attributes. PRO-POL systems (i. e, microscopic /nano-dimensional multipolymer particles, molecularly conjugated vehicles, hydrogels/nanogels/oleogels/emulgels, biofunctional films, multilayer emulsion-based delivery systems, particles for Pickering emulsions, and multilayer coated liposomal nanocarriers) possess a number of outstanding attributes, like biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bioavailability with low toxicity that qualify them as powerful agents for the delivery of different bioactive ingredients. To take benefits from these systems, an in-depth understanding of the chemical conjugates and physical complexes of the PRO-POL systems is crucial. In this review, we offer a comprehensive study concerning the unique properties of covalently/electrostatically PRO-POL systems and introduce emerging platforms to fabricate relevant nanocarriers for encapsulation of bioactive components along with a subsequent sustained/controlled release.

Abstract
Enriched products with bioactive compounds (BCs) show the capacity to produce a wide range of possible health effects. Most BCs are essentially hydrophobic and sensitive to environmental factors; so, encapsulation becomes a strategy to solve these problems. Many globular proteins have the intrinsic ability to bind, protect, encapsulate, and introduce BCs into nutraceutical or pharmaceutical matrices. Among them, albumins as human serum albumin (HSA), bovine serum albumin (BSA), ovalbumin (OVA) and α-lactalbumin (ALA) are widely abundant, available, and applied in many industrial sectors, becoming promissory materials to encapsulate BCs. Therefore, this review focuses on researches about the main groups of natural origin BCs (namely phenolic compounds, lipids, vitamins, and carotenoids), the different types of nanostructures based on albumins to encapsulate them and the main fields of application for BCs-loaded albumin systems. In this context, phenolic compounds (catechins, quercetin, and chrysin) are the most extensively BCs studied and encapsulated in albumin-based nanocarriers. Other extensively studied subgroups are stilbenes and curcuminoids. Regarding lipids and vitamins; terpenes, carotenoids (β-carotene), and xanthophylls (astaxanthin) are the most considered. The main application areas of BCs are related to their antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Finally, BSA is the most used albumin to produced BCs-loaded nanocarriers.

Abstract
Soybean protein isolate (SPI)-dextran conjugate-based nanogels were prepared via the Maillard reaction combined with protein self-assembly in this study. The dextran molecular weight (40 kDa), SPI/dextran mass ratio (1:1.75), and incubation time (3.3 d) for preparing SPI-dextran conjugate (SDC) were firstly optimized. The SDC was confirmed by analyzing the changes in protein composition and infrared absorption bands and showed loosened tertiary conformation, reduced surface hydrophobicity, decreased Z-average hydrodynamic diameter (Dh) and zeta potential, and improved emulsifying properties compared to the native SPI. Effects of conjugate concentration, pH, heating temperature, and time on Dh and polydispersity index were also evaluated. The SDC-based nanogels were translucent in aqueous solution and exhibited a spherical core-shell structure with a Dh of ∼104.4 nm and a good stability against thermal treatment, ionic strength, and storage. Results demonstrated the SDC-based nanogels possessed a potential to be used as desirable nanocarriers for encapsulating hydrophobic bioactive compounds.

[PMID: 35033122 PMCID: PMC8760834 DOI: 10.1186/s13020-021-00567-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 12/30/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine polysaccharides (TCMPs) are plentiful and renewable resources with properties such as biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, biodegradability, and low cytotoxicity. Because the polysaccharide molecular chain contains a variety of active groups, different polysaccharide derivatives can be easily produced through chemical modification. They have been increasingly used in drug delivery systems (DDS). However, the potential of polysaccharides is usually ignored due to their structural complexity, poor stability or ambiguity of mechanisms of actions. This review summarized the applications of TCMPs in DDS around four main aspects. The general characteristics of TCMPs as drug delivery carriers, as well as the relationships between structure and function of them were summarized. Meanwhile, the direction of preparing multifunctional drug delivery materials with synergistic effect by using TCMPs was discussed. This review aims to become a reference for further research of TCMPs and their derivatives, especially applications of them as carriers in pharmaceutical preparation industry.

Curr Res Food Sci 2022; 5:1625-1639. [PMID: 36164327 PMCID: PMC9507993 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2022.09.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Revised: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The poor water solubility, bioavailability and stability of bioactive compounds have become the bottleneck restricting their wide application, thus developing a functional carrier to realize the efficient encapsulation and activity improvement of active hydrophobic substances has become a research hotspot. In this work, a functional glycosylated fish gelatin (called FG-COS conjugates) carrier based on fish gelatin (FG) and chitooligosaccharide (COS) via Maillard reaction was developed. The functional carrier exhibited good antioxidant activity and high encapsulation of curcumin (Cur). Enhanced antioxidant effect of Cur loaded in FG-COS conjugates (called FG–COS–Cur nanoparticles) was achieved, showing remarkable UV protection on Cur and enhanced intracellular antioxidant activity of FG–COS–Cur nanoparticles. Remarkably, FG–COS–Cur nanoparticles increased the cell viability of H2O2-induced oxidative damage Caco-2 cells, drastically reduced the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and significantly increased intracellular antioxidant enzyme activities, which all exhibited a dose-response relationship. These findings suggested that the FG-COS conjugates with intrinsic antioxidant activity could effectively encapsulate Cur and improved bioavailability for hydrophobic active molecules in functional food field. Functional carrier (FG-COS conjugates) based on glycosylation FG with COS was developed. FG-COS conjugates exhibited good antioxidant activity and excellent loading capacity of Cur. FG-COS conjugates showed remarkable UV protection on Cur. FG–COS–Cur nanoparticles displayed a positive effect on the antioxidant of Cur. FG–COS–Cur nanoparticles significantly attenuated oxidative stress damage in Caco-2 cell.

Abstract
Among the health-promotional protein-based vehicles, bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA NPs) are particularly interesting. Meeting requirements e. g., non-toxicity, non-immunogenicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and high drug-binding capacity, has introduced BSA NPs as a promising candidate for efficient anti-cancer drug delivery and its application is now a rapidly-growing strategy to promote cancer therapy. Nevertheless, the leverage of such carriers requires an in-depth understanding of structural/physicochemical features of the BSA molecule and its derived nanovehicles, together with the utilized nano-formulation approaches, effective variables in delivery mechanism, specific shortfalls, and recent nanoencapsulation progresses. The current review highlights the novel advances in the application of BSA NPs to engineer drug vehicles for delivering anti-cancer agents. The factors influencing the efficiency of the therapeutics in such nano-delivery systems, alongside their advantaged and limitations are also discussed.

Abstract
Abnormal accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum and their aggregation causes inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum stress. This promotes accumulation of toxic proteins in the body tissues especially brain leading to manifestation of neurodegenerative diseases. The studies suggest that deregulation of proteostasis, particularly aberrant unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling, may be a common morbific process in the development of neurodegeneration. Curcumin, the mixture of low molecular weight polyphenolic compounds from turmeric, Curcuma longa has shown promising response to prevents many diseases including current global severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and neurodegenerative disorders. The UPR which correlates positively with neurodegenerative disorders were found affected by curcumin. In this review, we examine the evidence from many model systems illustrating how curcumin interacts with UPR and slows down the development of various neurodegenerative disorders (ND), e.g., Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The recent global increase in ND patients indicates that researchers and practitioners will need to develop a new pharmacological drug or treatment to manage and cure these neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Natural bioactive ingredients have lower bioavailability because of their chemical instability and poor water solubility, which limits their applications in functional foods. Among diverse biopolymers that can be used to construct delivery systems of bioactives, chitosan has attracted extensive attention due to its unique cationic nature, excellent mucoadhesive properties and easy modification. In this review, chitosan and its composites-based food-grade delivery systems as well as the factors affecting their performance are summarized. Modification, crosslinking, combination with other biopolymer or utilization of coating material can effectively overcome the instability of pure chitosan-based carriers under acidic conditions, thereby constructing chitosan and its complex-based carriers with conspicuously improved performance. Furthermore, the applications of chitosan-based delivery systems in nutrition and health as well as their future development trends and challenges are discussed. Functional food ingredients, functional food packaging and biological health are potential applications of chitosan-based food-grade delivery systems. The research trends of nutraceutical delivery systems based on chitosan and its composites include co-delivery of nutrients and essential oils, targeted intestinal delivery, stimulus responsive/sustained release and their applications in real foods. In conclusion, food industry will be significantly promoted with the continuous innovation and development of chitosan-based nutraceutical delivery systems.

Abstract
Polyphenolic phytoconstituents have been widely in use worldwide since ages and are categorised as secondary metabolites of plants. The application of polyphenols such as quercetin, resveratrol. curcumin as nutritional supplement has been researched widely. The use of polyphenols, and specifically quercetin for improving the memory and mental endurance have shown significant effects among rats. Even though similar results has not been resonated among human but encouraging preclinical results have encouraged researchers to explore other polyphenols to study the effects as supplements among athletes. The phytopharmacological research has elucidated the use of natural polyphenols to prevent and treat various physiological and metabolic disorders owing to its free radical scavenging properties, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and immunomodulatory effects. In spite of the tremendous pharmacological profile, one of the most dominant problem regarding the use of polyphenolic compounds is their low bioavailability. Nanonization is considered as one of the most prominent approaches among many. This article aims to review and discuss the molecular mechanisms of recently developed nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems for polyphenols and its application as drugs and supplements. Nanoformulations of natural polyphenols are bioactive agents, such as quercetin, kaempferol, fisetin, rutin, hesperetin, and naringenin epigalloccatechin-3-gallate, genistein, ellagic acid, gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, curcuminoids and stilbenes is expected to have better efficacy. These delivery systems are expected to provide higher penetrability of polyphenols at cellular levels and exhibit a controlled release of the drugs. It is widely accepted that natural polyphenols do demonstrate significant therapeutic effect. However, the hindrances in their absorption, specificity and bioavailability can be overcome using nanotechnology.

Abstract
Polysaccharide biomaterials have gained significant importance in the manufacture of nanoparticles used in colon-targeted drug delivery systems. These systems are a form of non-invasive oral therapy used in the treatment of various diseases. To achieve successful colonic delivery, the chemical, enzymatic and mucoadhesive barriers within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract must be analyzed. This will allow for the nanomaterials to cross these barriers and reach the colon. This review provides information on the development of nanoparticles made from various polysaccharides, which can overcome multiple barriers along the GI tract and affect encapsulation efficiency, drug protection, and release mechanisms upon arrival in the colon. Also, there is information disclosed about the size of the nanoparticles that are usually involved in the mechanisms of diffusion through the barriers in the GI tract, which may influence early drug degradation and release in the digestive tract.

Abstract
Novel mitochondria targeting nanocarriers were prepared using triphenylphosphonium bromide (TPP)-modified whey protein isolate (WPI)-dextran (DX) conjugates by self-assembly method for astaxanthin mitochondria targeting delivery. The nanocarriers of astaxanthin-loaded WPI-DX and astaxanthin-loaded TPP-WPI-DX were 135.26 and 193.64 nm, respectively, which exhibited a spherical structure and good dispersibility. The mitochondria targeting nanocarriers had good stability in the stimulated blood fluid. In vitro experiments indicated that the TPP-modified nanocarriers could effectively realize lysosomes escape, and specifically accumulate in the cell mitochondria. Simultaneously, the astaxanthin-loaded nanocarriers could significantly reduce reactive oxygen species generation produced from hydrogen peroxide, protect the normal levels of the mitochondrial membrane potential, and dramatically promote the vitality of leukemia cells in mouse macrophage (RAW 264.7) cells. The present study highlights the promising application of mitochondria targeting nanocarriers for enhanced delivery of astaxanthin.

Abstract
The Maillard reaction products (MRPs) of whey protein isolate (WPI) and xylooligosaccharides (XOS) were prepared by a moist heat method for use as protectants to encapsulate Lactobacillus rhamnosus via spray drying. The protective effects of MRPs on bacterial cells during drying, storage, and in vitro digestion were explored. FTIR results indicated that MRPs were successfully prepared. All MRPs showed good thermo-protective effect on the bacteria, and the survival ratio achieved with 1 : 2 XOS-WPI as a wall material reached 99.83 ± 8.44%, which was around 2 times as high as that of the WPI wall material and 1.5 times as high as that of the 1 : 2 XOS-WPI mixture. The dried lactobacilli showed similar growth curves to the fresh culture. After 10 weeks of storage at 4 °C, the decrease in the bacterial activity was less than 1 log CFU g-1 for all types of microcapsules, while the microcapsules composed of all MRPs had better storage stability. MRPs improved the stability of microcapsules during in vitro digestion. The number of viable bacteria in 1 : 2 XOS-WPI MRPs microcapsules was maintained at 4.09 ± 0.59 × 109 CFU g-1 after simulated gastrointestinal digestion for 4 hours, which only decreased by 0.20 log CFU g-1.

Abstract
In the field of precision medicine, the anticipated features of ideal drug delivery systems (DDS) have high drug loading capacity and effective stimuli-triggered mechanism, which are fitting well with the expected merits of signal labels for enhanced enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Inspired by this, poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride)-capped curcumin nanoparticles (PDDA@CUR NPs) with high loading capacity were synthesized as signal labels and further applied to dual-model colorimetric and fluorescence ELISA for the detection of C-reactive protein (CRP). Curcumin (CUR) was elaborately selected as report molecule similar to the roles of drugs in DDS, which dispersed in neutral water exhibits a negligible fluorescence response due to the aggregation of CUR molecules induced quenching effect, stimulated by basic water (BW, pH 12.36), the allochroic effect from colorless to orange occurred and fluorescence restored because of the keto-enol tautomerism in the molecular structure of CUR, just like lighting-up (from signal "OFF" to signal "ON"), yielded a dual-model colorimetric and fluorescent signal readout. PDDA, as a polycationic electrolyte, provided a biological platform that is capable of interacting with CRP label antibodies by virtue of its positive centers. The results show that "lighting-up" CUR NPs-based dual-modal colorimetric and fluorescent ELISA for CRP detection has the merits of easy-to-use, good enough sensitivity and reliability. And more importantly, it brings innovative ideas for the precise identification and quantification of protein biomarkers.

Abstract
This study attempted to prepare ternary conjugate emulsion from bovine serum albumin (BSA), dextran (DEX) and gallic acid (GA) to improve the stability of conjugate emulsion and the bioaccessibility of capsorubin. The release of capsorubin was further delayed by sodium alginate capsules in the intestinal phase. First, protein formed new functional groups and covalent bonds was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Next, the stability of the ternary conjugate showed distinct pH correlation and the higher stability near the isoelectric point. Finally, the bioaccessibility of capsorubin embedded in sodium alginate emulsion was higher than that of ternary conjugate emulsion (65% and 34%).
