Abstract
To obtain a green carrier for intestinal targeted delivery, an emulsion gel was designed by the self-assembly between gelatin and Pickering emulsion based on gallic acid modified-chitosan nanoparticles (GCS NPs). The emulsion gels loaded with garlic essential oil (Geo) and curcumin (Cur) were abbreviated as GOEG and GCEG, respectively. Meanwhile, the sodium alginate bead loaded with Geo (GOEGS3) and the bead loaded with Cur (GCEGS) were prepared as controls. Results demonstrated that the emulsion gels significantly improved the bioaccessibility of Geo and Cur, showing great intestinal targeting delivery properties comparable to that of sodium alginate beads. Moreover, Caco-2 cell experiments indicated that GOEG and GCEG displayed good biocompatibility and enhanced cellular uptake of Geo and Cur. The emulsion gels also exhibited excellent anti-inflammatory properties in the lipopolysaccharide-induced cell model, exhibiting great potential for clinical application. This work provides some references for the preparation of multifunctional emulsion gels with excellent delivery performance by a green method.

Abstract
Polysaccharides and proteins are important macromolecules for developing hydrogels devoted to biomedical applications. Chemical hydrogels offer chemical, mechanical, and dimensional stability than physical hydrogels due to the chemical bonds among the chains mediated by crosslinkers. There are many crosslinkers to synthesize polysaccharides and proteins based on hydrogels. In this review, we revisited the crosslinking reaction mechanisms between synthetic or natural crosslinkers and polysaccharides or proteins. The selected synthetic crosslinkers were glutaraldehyde, carbodiimide, boric acid, sodium trimetaphosphate, N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide, and polycarboxylic acid, whereas the selected natural crosslinkers included transglutaminase, tyrosinase, horseradish peroxidase, laccase, sortase A, genipin, vanillin, tannic acid, and phytic acid. No less important are the reactions involving click chemistry and the macromolecular crosslinkers for polysaccharides and proteins. Literature examples of polysaccharides or proteins crosslinked by the different strategies were presented along with the corresponding highlights. The general mechanism involved in chemical crosslinking mediated by gamma and UV radiation was discussed, with particular attention to materials commonly used in digital light processing. The evaluation of crosslinking efficiency by gravimetric measurements, rheology, and spectroscopic techniques was presented. Finally, we presented the challenges and opportunities to create safe chemical hydrogels for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to evaluate grafted soy protein isolate (SPI) for pharmaceutical applications. The present work reports the microwave-assisted preparation of soy protein isolate\grafted[acrylic acid-co-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butanoic acid] [SPI-g-(AA-co-HPBA)] hydrogel via graft copolymerization using N,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide and potassium persulphate as the cross-linker and initiator, respectively. The chemical and physical properties of the synthesized polymeric hydrogels were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS), nuclear magnetic resonance 1H-NMR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The SEM, TEM, and XRD analyses have confirmed the formation of hydrogel SPI-g-(AA-co-HPBA) with the network structure having a layered and crystalline surface. The SPI-g-(AA-co-HPBA) hydrogel was investigated for the sustained and controlled drug delivery system for the release of model drug ciprofloxacin at basic pH for its utilization against bacterial infection in oral cavity. The drug release profile for SPI-g-(AA-co-HPBA) hydrogels was studied using LCMS at the ppb level at pH = 7.4. The synthesized hydrogel was found to be noncytotoxic, polycrystalline in nature with a network structure having good porosity, increased thermal stability, and pH-responsive behavior. The hydrogel has potential to be used as the vehicle for controlled drug delivery in oral cavity bacterial infections.

Abstract
In the food industry, proteins are regarded as multifunctional systems whose bioactive hetero-polymeric properties are affected by physicochemical interactions with the surrounding components in formulations. Due to their nutritional value, plant proteins are increasingly considered by the new product developer to provide three-dimensional assemblies of required structure, texture, solubility and interfacial/bulk stability with physical, chemical or enzymatic treatment. This molecular flexibility allows them to form systems for the preservation of fresh food, retention of good nutrition and interaction with a range of microconstituents. While, animal- and milk-based proteins have been widely discussed in the literature, the role of plant proteins in the development of functional foods with enhanced nutritional profile and targeted physiological effects can be further explored. This review aims to look into the molecular functionality of plant proteins in relation to the transport of bioactive ingredients and interaction with other ligands and proteins. In doing so, it will consider preparations from low- to high-solids and the effect of structural transformation via gelation, phase separation and vitrification on protein functionality as a delivery vehicle or heterologous complex. Applications for the design of novel functional foods and nutraceuticals will also be discussed.
