Sharkawy A, Rodrigues AE. Plant gums in Pickering emulsions: A review of sources, properties, applications, and future perspectives. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 332:121900. [PMID: 38431409 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.121900] [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: 10/14/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Recently, there has been an increasing research interest in the development of Pickering emulsions stabilized with naturally derived biopolymeric particles. In this regard, plant gums, obtained as plant exudates or from plant seeds, are considered promising candidates for the development of non-toxic, biocompatible, biodegradable and eco-friendly Pickering stabilizers. The main objective of this review article is to provide a detailed overview and assess the latest advances in the formulation of Pickering emulsions stabilized with plant gum-based particles. The plant gum sources, types and properties are outlined. Besides, the current methodologies used in the production of plant gum particles formed solely of plant gums, or through interactions of plant gums with proteins or other polysaccharides are highlighted and discussed. Furthermore, the work compiles and assesses the innovative applications of plant gum-based Pickering emulsions in areas such as encapsulation and delivery of drugs and active agents, along with the utilization of these Pickering emulsions in the development of active packaging films, plant-based products and low-fat food formulations. The last part of the review presents potential future research trends that are expected to motivate and direct research to areas related to other novel food applications, as well as tissue engineering and environmental applications.

Bioaccessibility and bioactive potential of different phytochemical classes from nutraceuticals and functional foods. Front Nutr 2023; 10:1184535. [PMID: 37575331 PMCID: PMC10415696 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1184535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Nutraceuticals and functional foods are composed of especially complex matrices, with polyphenols, carotenoids, minerals, and vitamins, among others, being the main classes of phytochemicals involved in their bioactivities. Despite their wide use, further investigations are needed to certify the proper release of these phytochemicals into the gastrointestinal medium, where the bioaccessibility assay is one of the most frequently used method. The aim of this review was to gather and describe different methods that can be used to assess the bioaccessibility of nutraceuticals and functional foods, along with the most important factors that can impact this process. The link between simulated digestion testing of phytochemicals and their in vitro bioactivity is also discussed, with a special focus on the potential of developing nutraceuticals and functional foods from simple plant materials. The bioactive potential of certain classes of phytochemicals from nutraceuticals and functional foods is susceptible to different variations during the bioaccessibility assessment, with different factors contributing to this variability, namely the chemical composition and the nature of the matrix. Regardless of the high number of studies, the current methodology fails to assume correlations between bioaccessibility and bioactivity, and the findings of this review indicate a necessity for updated and standardized protocols.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023:125393.

Abstract
Pickering emulsions are attracting increased attention owing to their therapeutic applications. However, the slow-release property of Pickering emulsions and the in vivo solid particle accumulation caused by the solid particle stabilizer film limit their applications in therapeutic delivery. In this study, drug-loaded, acid-sensitive Pickering emulsions were prepared using acetal-modified starch-based nanoparticles as stabilizers. The acetalized starch-based nanoparticles (Ace-SNPs) not only act as a solid-particle emulsifier to stabilize Pickering emulsions but also exhibit acid sensitivity and degradability, conducive to the destabilization of Pickering emulsions to release the drug and reduce the effect of particle accumulation in an acidic therapeutic environment. In vitro drug release profiles show that 50 % of curcumin was released in 12 h in an acidic medium (pH 5.4), whereas only 14 % of curcumin was released in 12 h at higher pH (7.4), indicating that the Ace-SNP stabilized Pickering emulsion possess good acid-responsive release characteristics in acidic environments. Moreover, acetalized starch-based nanoparticles and their degradation products showed good biocompatibility, and the resulting curcumin-loaded Pickering emulsions exhibited significant anticancer activity. These features suggest that the acetalized starch-based nanoparticle-stabilized Pickering emulsion has the potential for application as an antitumor drug carrier to enhance therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Herein, pH-cycle method was explored to prepare curcumin-encapsulated hydrophilic bovine bone gelatin (BBG/Cur) nanoparticle and then the obtained nanoparticle was applied to stabilize fish oil-loaded Pickering emulsion. The nanoparticle had a high encapsulation efficiency (93.9 ± 0.5 %) and loading capacity (9.4 ± 0.1 %) for curcumin. The nanoparticle-stabilized emulsion had higher emulsifying activity index (25.1 ± 0.9 m2/g) and lower emulsifying stability index (161.5 ± 18.8 min) than BBG-stabilized emulsion. The pH affected the initial droplet sizes and creaming index values of the Pickering emulsions: pH 11.0 < pH 5.0 ≈ pH 7.0 ≈ pH 9.0 < pH 3.0. Curcumin provided obvious antioxidant effect for the emulsions, which was also dependent on pH. The work suggested pH-cycle method could be used to prepare hydrophobic antioxidant-encapsulated hydrophilic protein nanoparticle. It also provided basic information on the development of protein nanoparticles for Pickering emulsion stabilization.

Abstract
Curcumin (CCM) is one of the most frequently explored plant compounds with various biological actions such as antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antineoplastic, and antioxidant/anti-inflammatory properties. The laboratory data and clinical trials have demonstrated that the bioavailability and bioactivity of curcumin are influenced by the feature of the curcumin molecular complex types. Curcumin has a high capacity to form molecular complexes with proteins (such as whey proteins, bovine serum albumin, β-lactoglobulin), carbohydrates, lipids, and natural compounds (e.g., resveratrol, piperine, quercetin). These complexes increase the bioactivity and bioavailability of curcumin. The current review provides these derivatization strategies for curcumin in terms of biological and physico-chemical aspects with a strong focus on different type of proteins, characterization methods, and thermodynamic features of protein–curcumin complexes, and with the aim of evaluating the best performances. The current literature review offers, taking into consideration various biological effects of the CCM, a whole approach for CCM-biomolecules interactions such as CCM-proteins, CCM-nanomaterials, and CCM-natural compounds regarding molecular strategies to improve the bioactivity as well as the bioavailability of curcumin in biological systems.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:2949. [PMID: 36079986 PMCID: PMC9458105 DOI: 10.3390/nano12172949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Revised: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
High internal phase Pickering emulsion (HIPPE) is a type of emulsion stabilized by solid particles irreversibly adsorbed on an interfacial film, and the volume fraction of the dispersed phase (Φ) is larger than the maximum packing volume fraction (Φmax). Proteins, polysaccharides, and their composite particles can be used as good particle stabilizers. The contact angle can most intuitively demonstrate the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the particles and also determines the type of emulsions (O/W or W/O type). Particles' three-phase contact angles can be adjusted to about 90° by compounding or modification, which is more conducive to emulsion stability. As a shear thinning pseudoplastic fluid, HIPPE can be extruded smoothly through 3D printer nozzles, and its high storage modulus can support the structure of printed products. There is huge potential for future applications in 3D printing of food. This work reviewed the biomacromolecules that can be used to stabilize food-grade HIPPE, the stabilization mechanism of the emulsions, and the research progress of food 3D printing to provide a reference for the development of advanced food products based on HIPPE.

Abstract
A rising health concern with saturated fatty acids allowed researchers to look into the science of replacing these fats with unsaturated fatty acids. Oleogelation is a technique to structure edible oil using gelators. The present study looked for the effect of solid emulsifiers; namely, sorbitan monostearate (SP) and stearyl alcohol (SA), on the physicochemical parameters of oleogels. All the oleogels were formulated using 5% sunflower wax (SW) in sunflower oil (SO). The formulated oleogels displayed irregular-shaped wax crystals on their surface. The bright-field and polarized microscopy showed the fiber/needle network of wax crystals. Formulations consisting of 10 mg (0.05% w/w) of both the emulsifiers (SA10 and SP10) in 20 g of oleogels displayed the appearance of a dense wax crystal network. The SP and SA underwent co-crystallization with wax molecules, which enhanced crystal growth and increased the density and size of the wax crystals. The XRD and FTIR studies suggested the presence of a similar β’ polymorph to that of the triacylglycerols’ arrangement. The incorporation of SA and SP in wax crystal packing might have resulted in a lower crystallization rate in SA10 and SP10. Evaluation of the thermal properties of oleogels through DSC showed better gel recurrence of high melting enthalpy. These formulations also displayed a sustained release of curcumin. Despite the variations in several properties (e.g., microstructures, crystallite size, thermal properties, and nutrient release), the emulsifiers did not affect the mechanical properties of the oleogel. The meager amounts of both the emulsifiers were able to modulate the nutrient release from the oleogels without affecting their mechanical properties in comparison to the control sample.

Abstract
Most of the immunosuppressive drugs used in the clinic to prevent organ rejection or to treat autoimmune disorders were originally isolated from fungi or bacteria. Therefore, in addition to plants, these are valuable sources for identification of new potent drugs. Many side effects of established drugs limit their usage and make the identification of new immunosuppressants necessary. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of natural products with potent anti-inflammatory activities that have been tested successfully in different models of chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases. Some of these candidates already have passed first clinical trials. The anti-inflammatory potency of these natural products was often comparable to those of established drugs, and they could be used at least in addition to standard therapy to reduce their dose to minimize unwanted side effects. A frequent mode of action is the inhibition of classical inflammatory signaling pathways, such as NF-κB, in combination with downregulation of oxidative stress. A drawback for the therapeutic use of those natural products is their moderate bioavailability, which can be optimized by chemical modifications and, in addition, further safety studies are necessary. Altogether, very interesting candidate compounds exist which have the potential to serve as starting points for the development of new immunosuppressive drugs.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an ensemble of metabolic conditions that have reached pandemic proportions worldwide. Pathology's multifactorial nature makes patient management, including lifelong drug therapy and lifestyle modification, extremely challenging. Currently, there is growing evidence about the effectiveness of using herbal supplements in preventing and controlling DM. Curcumin is a bioactive component found Curcuma longa, which exhibits several physiological and pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, neuroprotective, and anti-diabetic activities. For these reasons, our objective is to systematically review the effects of Curcuma longa or curcumin on DM. Databases such as PUBMED and EMBASE were searched, and the final selection included sixteen studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The results showed that curcumin's anti-diabetic activity might be due to its capacity to suppress oxidative stress and inflammatory process. Also, it significantly reduces fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and body mass index. Nanocurcumin is also associated with a significant reduction in triglycerides, VLDL-c, total cholesterol, LDL-c, HDL-c, serum C reactive protein, and plasma malonaldehyde. Therefore, it can be considered in the therapeutic approach of patients with DM.
