Hu X, Zhu C, Hu Z, Shen W, Ji Z, Li F, Guo C. Effect of zein-pectin composite particles on the stability and rheological properties of gelatin/hydroxypropyl methylcellulose water-water systems. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 269:131846. [PMID: 38663702 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131846] [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: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
To improve the compatibility of gelatin (GA) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), we investigated the effects of zein-pectin composite particles (ZCPs) with various zein/pectin ratios (1:0, 1:0.5, 1:1, 1:1.5, and 1:2) on the physical stability, microstructure, and rheological properties of the GA/HPMC water-water systems. With increasing pectin ratio, the particle size of the composite particles increased from 234.53 ± 1.48 nm to 1111.00 ± 26.91 nm, and their zeta potential decreased from 20.60 mV to below -34.77 mV. Macroscopic and microstructure observations indicated that pectin-modified ZCPs could effectively inhibit phase separation behavior between GA and HPMC. Compared to pure HPMC, the GA/HPMC water-water systems possessed a higher viscosity and dynamic modulus at room temperatures but lower gel temperatures (reduction of about 11 %). The viscosity and modulus of the water-water systems increased with increasing pectin ratio in ZCPs. However, the ratio had no impact on the gel-sol (sol-gel) transition temperatures (not statistically significant (P < 0.05)). This study may serve as a reference for advancing the processability of HPMC.

Carbohydr Polym 2024; 328:121706. [PMID: 38220341 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121706] [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: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
The quality of polysaccharide-based films and hard capsules is often affected by changes in relative humidity, manifesting as unstable water content, and changes in mechanical strength that make them brittle or soft. Herein, carboxyl-modified nanocellulose (cNC) was prepared and used as a new component to successfully improve the moisture resistance of cNC/pullulan/high-acyl gellan bio-nanocomposite hard capsules (NCPGs). Homogenously dispersed cNC in the pullulan/high-acyl gellan matrix could render the formation of more hydrogen bonds that provided additional water-binding sites and limited the free movement of pullulan and high-acyl gellan molecular chains within NCPGs. This contributed to a decreased amount of pooling adsorption water and an increased amount of Langmuir adsorption water in NCPGs, as compared to pullulan/high-acyl gellan hard capsules (PGs) without cNC. Therefore, the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) values of NCPGs decreased at 83 % relative humidity and increased at 23 % relative humidity compared to those of PGs. Together with enhanced mechanical and barrier properties, NCPGs effectively protected encapsulated amoxicillin and probiotic powder from changes in the outside humidity. Additionally, NCPGs exhibited faster drug release. This study presents a new mechanism and strategy for fabricating films and hard capsules with enhanced stability against moisture variation.

Abstract
The rising packaging industry together with global demand for sustainable production has increased the interest in developing biodegradable packaging materials. The aim of the study was to develop edible films based on pectin, gelatin, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and evaluate their applicability as biodegradable packaging materials for gilthead seabream fillets. Mechanical properties, water barriers, wettability of the films through contact angle measurement, optical, and UV-Vis barrier properties were evaluated for food packaging applications. The effective blend of polysaccharide and protein film-forming solutions was confirmed by the produced films with excellent optical properties, acceptable mechanical properties and adequate barriers to water vapor. The contact angle for pectin based and gelatin based films were higher than 90° indicating the hydrophobic films, while HPMC based films had contact angle lower than 90°. The produced films were tested as alternative and environmentally friendly packaging materials for gilthead seabream fillets during refrigerated storage. All tested packaging conditions resulted in similar shelf-life in packed gilthead seabream fillets (i.e. 7-8 days at 2 °C). The results showed that the developed films may reduce the use of conventional petroleum-based food packaging materials without affecting the shelf-life of fish.

Abstract
The β-cyclodextrins (β-CD) are biocompatible macrocyclic candidates for the preparation of various composites with enhanced functions. While nontoxic and biodegradable citric acid (CA) is the favorite crosslinking agent for fabricating hierarchical advanced structures. The carboxyl and hydroxyl groups on CA can serve as "structural bridges" and enhance the solubility of β-CD. Leading to the construction of CA cross-linked β-CD with marvelous complicated structures and targeted functions. Here, we directly categorized the grafted composite materials into two main types such as organic and inorganic materials. Particularly, some representative composite materials are listed and analyzed in detail according to their preparation, advantages of unique characteristics, as well as the possible applications in environmental and biomedical fields such as adsorption of pollutants, sensors, and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Although gelatin has good characteristics in preparing soft capsules, its noticeable shortcomings force researchers to further develop substitutes for gelatin soft capsules. In this paper, sodium alginate (SA), carboxymethyl starch (CMS) and κ-carrageenan (κ-C) were used as matrix materials, and the formula of the co-blended solution was screened through rheological method. In addition, films of the different blends were characterized by thermogravimetry analysis, SEM, FTIR, X-ray, water contact angle and mechanical properties. The results showed that κ-C had strong interaction with CMS and SA and the mechanical properties of capsule shell were greatly improved by the addition of κ-C. When the ratio of CMS/SA/κ-C was 2:0.5:1.5, the microstructure of the film was more dense and uniform. In addition, this formula had the best mechanical properties and adhesion properties, and was more suitable for the production of soft capsules. Finally, a novel plant soft capsule was successfully prepared by dropping method, and its appearance and rupture properties met the requirements of enteric soft capsules. In simulated intestinal juice, the soft capsule was almost completely degraded within 15 min, and it was superior to the gelatin soft capsule. Therefore, this study provides an alternative formula for preparing enteric soft capsules.

Abstract
The plasticizer is crucial in the plant-based soft capsule. However, meeting the quality requirements of these capsules with a single plasticizer is challenging. To address this issue, this study first investigated the impact of a plasticizer mixture containing sorbitol and glycerol in varying mass ratios and the performance of the pullulan soft film and capsule. The multiscale analysis demonstrates that the plasticizer mixture exhibits superior effectiveness in enhancing the performance of the pullulan film/capsule compared to a single plasticizer. Furthermore, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy indicate that the plasticizer mixture enhances the compatibility and thermal stability of the pullulan films without altering their chemical composition. Among the different mass ratios examined, a 15:15 ratio of sorbitol to glycerol (S/G) is identified as the most optimal, leading to superior physicochemical properties and meeting the requirements for brittleness and disintegration time set by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. This study provides significant insights into the effect of the plasticizer mixture on the performance of pullulan soft capsules and offers a promising application formula for future use.

Abstract
Active packaging derived from polysaccharides plays an important role in prolonging the shelf life of food. In this study, cinnamon essential oil (CEO)-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (CNs) were prepared and embedded in hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)/hydroxypropyl starch (HPS) blends to enhance the physicochemical and biofunctional properties of the formed films. Different concentrations (25, 50, 75, and 100 μL/mL) of CEOs were encapsulated with CNs to form CEO-CNs, as confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. The prepared CEO-CNs were incorporated into the HPMC/HPS film-forming matrix to prepare reinforced nanocomposite films. SEM images showed that the CEO-CNs were dispersed in the HPMC/HPS matrix, thus filling the void space in the composite matrix and significantly improving the mechanical and barrier properties of the bio-nanocomposite films. The elongation at break of the reinforced films improved from 8.54 ± 0.53 MPa to 24.81 ± 0.47 MPa, and the water vapor permeability was reduced by nearly 30 %. FTIR and XRD analyses indicated the formation of hydrogen bonds between CEO-CNs and HPMC/HPS polymer molecules. Release studies showed that the nanocomposite film was capable of sustained release of CEO, which imparted antioxidant (radical scavenging activity of 27.66-42.19 %) and antimicrobial properties (inhibition of Escherichia coli and Aspergillus flavus growth). Therefore, these HPMC/HPS nanocomposite films with enhanced properties may have great potential for food preservation.

Abstract
The integrity of the packaging of a liquid foodstuff makes it difficult to detect spoilage. Therefore, it is important to develop a sensitive, fast and real-time material for liquid food detection. CMC, as lignocellulose derivatives and starch are widely used in the food industry. In this study, starch films with pH-responsive properties are successfully prepared from full-component starch and corn amylopectin (CA) by adding CMC. The effects of CMC on the mechanical properties, morphology characteristics, physical and chemical structures, stability and pH responsiveness of the starch films are analyzed. The starch/CMC-1.0 g composite films display good electrical conductivity and reduce the resistance of the composite film by two orders of magnitude. The composite films have pH response ability; in the simulation of orange juice spoilage experiment, the CA/CMC composite film has a more sensitive current response and was more suitable for the application to liquid food quality detection. Additionally, the starch/CMC composite films have potential applications for rapid detection and real-time monitoring of the safety of liquid food.

Currently, there is a growing need to prepare small batches of enteric capsules for individual therapy or clinical evaluation since many acidic-sensitive substances should be protected from the stomach's acidic environment, including probiotics or fecal material, in the fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) process. A suitable method seems to be the encapsulation of drugs or lyophilized alternatively frozen biological suspensions in commercial hard enteric capsules prepared by so-called Enteric Capsule Drug Delivery Technology (ECDDT). Manufacturers supply these types of capsules, made from pH-soluble polymers, in products such as AR Caps®, EnTRinsicTM, and Vcaps® Enteric, or capsules made of gelling polymers that release their content as the gel erodes over time when passing through the digestive tract. These include DRcaps®, EMBO CAPS® AP, BioVXR®, or ACGcaps™ HD. Although not all capsules in all formulations meet pharmaceutical requirements for delayed-release dosage forms in disintegration and dissolution tests, they usually find practical application. This literature review presents their composition and properties. Since ECDDT is a new technology, this article is based on a limited number of references.

Abstract
Synergized multi-plasticizers for a starch-based edible film were developed for food packaging. The most popular edible plasticizers, water, glycerol, and sorbitol were used as modal materials to demonstrate the synergized function of multi-plasticizers. The efficiency, stability, and compatibility of each plasticizer, as well as their synergized functions were investigated based on the characterizations of tensile properties after storing under different humidity conditions and for different times. The relationship between the microstructures of the plasticizers and their performances was studied and established. The results showed that water is an efficient plasticizer but is not stable, which results in it becoming brittle under lower humidity conditions; glycerol has a stronger moisture-retaining and absorption capability, which results in a weaker tensile strength under higher humidity conditions; and sorbitol is an efficient and stable plasticizer but needs to work with water, and its function can be synthesized by mixing it with water and glycerol.

Abstract
Ionically-conductive hydrogels are attracting increasing interest as skin-like sensors, however, the fabrication of ion-conductive hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties, high conductivity, self-adhesion and anti-freezing ability for high-performance sensors remains a challenge. Herein, a highly ion-conductive hydrogel is prepared by introducing LiCl into polyacrylamide/hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (PAM/HPMC) composite hydrogel. The introduction of LiCl simultaneously endows the PAM/HPMC/LiCl hydrogel with outstanding stretchability (1453 %), high tensile strength (135 kPa), skin-like elasticity (9.18 kPa), high conductivity (7.85 S/m), good adhesiveness and wide operating temperature range. Impressively, this ion-conductive hydrogel can be utilized in skin-like sensor, which achieves high strain sensitivity (GF = 11.19) with wide sensing ranges (up to 600 %), and excellent endurance over 250 consecutive stretching. As a result, the wearable sensor assembled from the hydrogels can be used to detect complex human activities with high stability even at -40 °C. This work promotes the development of ion-conductive hydrogels with broad operating temperature in advanced sensory platform.

Abstract
The current study aims to evaluate the effect of tamarind gum (TG) on the optical, mechanical, and drug release potential of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based films. This involves preparing PVA-TG composite films with different concentrations of TG through a simple solvent casting method. The addition of TG has enhanced the phase separation and aggregation of PVA within the films, and it becomes greater with the increase in TG concentration. Brightfield and polarized light micrographs have revealed that aggregation is favored by forming crystalline domains at the PVA-TG interface. The interconnected network of PVA-TG aggregates influenced the swelling and drying properties of the films. Using Peleg’s analysis, the mechanical behavior of films was determined by their stress relaxation profiles. The addition of TG has made no significant changes to the firmness and viscoelastic properties of films. However, long-durational relaxation times indicated that the interconnected network might break down in films with higher TG concentration, suggesting their brittleness. The controlled release of ciprofloxacin in HCl solution (0.5% (w/v)) appears to decrease with the increase in TG concentration. In fact, TG has inversely affected the impedance and altered the ionic conductivity within the films. This seems to have directly influenced the drug release from the films as the mechanism was found to be non-Fickian diffusion (based on Korsmeyer–Peepas and Peppas–Sahlin kinetic models). The antimicrobial study using Escherichia coli was carried out to evaluate the activity of the drug-loaded films. The study proves that TG can modulate the properties of PVA films and has the potential to fine-tune the controlled release of drugs from composite films.

Abstract
Hard capsule shells with an inherent delayed release action are useful for oral administration of active ingredients, which are acid-labile and/or enzymatically degradable in the gastric environment, without the need of film coating. The objective of this study was to fabricate delayed release hard capsule shells by the dip coating method. The film coating formulations comprised blends of zein and methacrylic acid copolymer (Eudragit® L100-55), with and without the addition of the plasticizer, polyethylene glycol 1000. The rheology parameters (loss modulus (G'), storage modulus (G") and loss tangent (tan δ, G"/G')) of the film coating solution were measured to investigate the processability. Central composite design was used to investigate the main, interaction and quadratic effects of the proportion of methacrylic acid copolymer, solid content of the film formers and level of polyethylene glycol 1000 on the capsule wall thickness and mechanical strength. Multiple response optimization was further conducted, and the design space was established. The in vitro drug release in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids of three different formulations in the design space was compared. The results showed that the tan δ value after the gelation point should be < 0.9 in order to form a thin and sturdy capsule shell. The gelation time and viscosity of the coating solution were related to the thickness of the capsule shell. The study showed that drug release from the capsule with a specified thickness and mechanical strength can be modulated by varying the ratio of zein to methacrylic acid copolymer. The delayed drug release profile was achieved through the capsule shell fabricated from zein to methacrylic acid copolymer at the ratios of 75:25 and 83.2:16.8, with 10% polyethylene glycol 1000.

Abstract
This study investigates the morphological and rheological properties of blended gelatin (GA; a cooling-induced gel (cool-gel)) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC; a heating-induced gel (thermo-gel)) systems using a fluorescence microscope, small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and a rheometer. The results clearly indicate that the two biopolymers are immiscible and have low compatibility. Moreover, the rheological behavior and morphology of the GA/HPMC blends significantly depend on the blending ratio and concentration. Higher polysaccharide contents decrease the gelling temperature and improve the gel viscoelasticity character of GA/HPMC blended gels. The SAXS results reveal that the correlation length (ξ) of the blended gels decreases from 5.16 to 1.89 nm as the HPMC concentration increases from 1 to 6%, which suggests that much denser networks are formed in blended gels with higher HPMC concentrations. Overall, the data reported herein indicate that the gel properties of gelatin can be enhanced by blending with a heating-induced gel.

Abstract
Edible starch-based film was developed for packaging seasoning applied in instant noodles. The edible film can quickly dissolve into hot water so that the seasoning bag can mix in the soup of instant noodles during preparation. To meet the specific requirements of the packaging, such as reasonable high tensile properties, ductility under arid conditions, and low gas permeability, hydroxypropyl cornstarch with various edible additives from food-grade ingredients were applied to enhance the functionality of starch film. In this work, xylose was used as a plasticizer, cellulose crystals were used as a reinforcing agent, and laver was used to decrease gas permeability. The microstructures, interface, and compatibility of various components and film performance were investigated using an optical microscope under polarized light, scanning electron microscope, gas permeability, and tensile testing. The relationship was established between processing methodologies, microstructures, and performances. The results showed that the developed starch-based film have a modulus of 960 MPa, tensile strength of 36 Mpa with 14% elongation, and water vapor permeability less than 5.8 g/m2.h under 20% RH condition at room temperature (25 °C), which meets the general requirements of the flavor bag packaging used in instant noodles.

Abstract
Intense efforts to develop alternative materials for gelatine as a drug-delivery system are progressing at a high rate. Some of the materials developed are hard capsules made from alginate, carrageenan, hypromellose and cellulose. However, there are still some disadvantages that must be minimised or eliminated for future use in drug-delivery systems. This review attempts to review the preparation and potential of seaweed-based, specifically carrageenan, hard capsules, summarise their properties and highlight their potential as an optional main component of hard capsules in a drug-delivery system. The characterisation methods reviewed were dimensional analysis, water and ash content, microbial activity, viscosity analysis, mechanical analysis, scanning electron microscopy, swelling degree analysis, gel permeation chromatography, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis. The release kinetics of the capsule is highlighted as well. This review is expected to provide insights for new researchers developing innovative products from carrageenan-based hard capsules, which will support the development goals of the industry.

Abstract
Different ionic liquid (IL)s were added to hydroxypropyl methylcellulose /monosodium phosphate (HPMC/MSP) photophobic film to improve its ductility, and their effects on its multi-scale structures and physical properties were studied. After adding these ILs, smoothness of the fractal structure, tensile strength, modulus of the film did not change obviously, while the crystallinity, the number of holes, and elongation increased, the hole size and Tg decreased. Compared to films with other ILs, the film with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM]BF4) showed the largest elongation and crystallinity, the smallest hole size, the least holes, and highest whiteness. The film with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl) showed the largest water content and the lowest Tg. The increased elongation proved that all these ILs could improve the ductility of the film, among which, [EMIM]BF4 had the strongest plasticizing effect.

[PMID: 33807531 PMCID: PMC7998449 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13030335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2021] [Revised: 02/24/2021] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The drying process is a significant step in the manufacturing process of enteric hard capsules, which affects the physical and chemical properties of the capsules. Thus, the drying characteristics of plant-based enteric hard capsules were investigated at a constant air velocity of 2 m/s in a bench scale hot-air dryer under a temperature range of 25 to 45 °C and relative humidity of 40 to 80%. Results indicate that the drying process of the capsules mainly occur in a falling-rate period, implying that moisture transfer in the capsules is governed by internal moisture diffusion rate. High temperature and low relative humidity reduce drying time but increase the drying rate of the capsules. Investigation results of the mechanical properties and storage stability of the capsules, however, reveal that a fast drying rate leads to plant-based enteric hard capsules of low quality. Scanning electron microscopy further demonstrates that more layered cracks appear in capsules produced under a faster drying rate. The Page model yielded the best fit for describing thin-layer drying of the capsules based on the coefficient of determination and reduced chi-square. Moreover, it was established that the effective moisture diffusivity of the capsules increases with an increase in drying temperature or reduction in relative humidity.

The Film-Forming Characterization and Structural Analysis of Pectin from Sunflower Heads. INT J POLYM SCI 2021.

Abstract
A natural low-methoxyl pectin (termed AHP,
) was extracted from dried heads of sunflower and showed better film-forming performance blended with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC). The solutions and films of different HPMC/AHP blends were characterized by viscosity, transparency, mechanical properties, loss on drying, water drop penetration time (WDPT), disintegration and SEM. In order to analyze the structure-property relationship of film forming, AHP was separated by ion-exchange chromatography and characterized. The results showed that the blends were immiscible, but the formation of AHP gel would give the blended film better mechanical properties. AHP was fractionated into one neutral fraction and two acidic fractions (AHPA-1 and AHPA-2). The analytical results showed that AHPA-1 and AHPA-2 were identified to be homogalacturonan- (HG-) rich pectins with low DM, and the molecular weights of them were estimated to be 106 kDa and 226 kDa, respectively. Due to the high content of the HG domain, low DM and high molecular weights, AHP had excellent gelling properties induced by Ca2+ and was added to improve the film-forming properties of HPMC and to develop plant hollow capsules.

Abstract
The green hard capsules were prepared with corn nano-starch (CNS) and cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) in this study, the glycerol and carrageenan were used as plasticizer and gelling agent in the CNS/CNC gel solution, respectively. The capsule-films with different CNC content were prepared by casting method, and the dipping method was used in preparation of the corresponding capsules. The compatibility of CNS/CNC capsules was analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and the morphology of the capsules was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the tensile strength of the CNS based capsule-film was significantly improved with the addition of CNC. When the content of CNC was 6.0%, the tensile strength increased by 238.10%. The transparency of the capsule with different CNC contents was slightly reduced, but was greater than 87.0%. The loss on drying of CNS/CNC capsule was between 12.87% and 15.03%, and it could be completely dissolved in the artificial gastric juice within 6.0 min, which was in accordance with the provisions of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015).

Abstract
Environmentally friendly and biodegradable hybrid composites of starch/enteromorpha/nano-clay were developed. Enteromorpha was used as cheaper filler since it is a waste from marine pollution, while nano-clay acted as a reinforcing agent. The microstructures and performance of these composites were investigated by SEM, DMA, XRD, TGA and tensile testing. Enteromorpha has a hollow tubular thallus structure with very weak mechanical properties, so it is not expected to have the ability to reinforce the starch matrix even though they have very a good interface. However, the granulated fine particles of enteromorpha can mix well with the starch matrix and reduce weak points. Furthermore, the delaminated clay by water and ultrasonic treatment reinforced the mechanical properties of the starch-based materials. The results showed that the hybrid composite containing up to 40% enteromorpha reinforced with nano-clay still has similar or even slightly better mechanical properties compared with pure starch-based materials. Since all components are hydrophilic natural materials, the interfaces between them are very good, and the composites are environmentally friendly and biodegradable.

Abstract
In this study, dexamethasone-loaded gelatin–starch scaffolds were fabricated by the freeze-drying technique under different cooling temperatures and polymeric compositions. The constructs were modified via [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-propyl]-trimethoxysilane coupling agent in order to produce a bioactive network structure for bone tissue engineering applications. Herein, the synergistic effect of [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-propyl]-trimethoxysilane and dexamethasone was examined on the bioactivity and osteogenic behavior of scaffolds. Based on scanning electron microscopy micrographs, more fine pores were formed at higher freezing temperatures. The prepared microstructure at a rapid freezing rate resulted in diminished mechanical properties and a greater level of swelling and durability compared with a slow freezing rate. According to the acquired results, the mechanical strength decreased, while both absorption capacity and mass loss rate increased as a function of starch addition. Furthermore, the enhancement of hydrophilicity and reduction of mechanical stability enhanced the dexamethasone release levels. In addition, the synthesized constructs confirmed the positive effect of [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-propyl]-trimethoxysilane and dexamethasone on biomimetic mineralization of the scaffolds. Supporting the cellular adhesion and proliferation alongside the expression of alkaline phosphatase, especially in the presence of dexamethasone, was the other advantage of synthetic scaffolds as a bone reconstructive substitute. Accordingly, drug-loaded hybrid constructs seem to be promising for further preclinical and clinical investigations in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The mechanical and barrier properties of plant-based enteric polymer films were enhanced by synergistic interactions between binary gum mixtures and adding plasticizers. The results indicated that the best ratio of gellan gum (GG) and xanthan gum (XG) was 7:3 by comparing tensile strength, tensile elongation, transmittance, and water vapor permeability of plant-based enteric polymer films and rheological properties of solutions. Polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG-400) was an effective plasticizer in improving plasticity and water vapor barrier property of the plant-based enteric polymer film. Rheology measurement and different characterization methods, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy, were used to explain interactions between GG and XG as well as PEG-400 and components of the film. The new mixed system, composed of GG/XG mixture with ratio of 7:3 as a novel gelling agent and PEG-400 as a plasticizer, was applied to prepare plant-based enteric hard capsules, which have potential applications in medicines and functional food preparations.

Abstract
Although vaginal films were initially developed for a fast release of the drug, with the adequate formulation they can also be useful for sustained release. The latest strategies for the prevention of the sexual transmission of HIV have moved towards sustained-release dosage forms, so films may be an effective strategy that could also improve the patient's comfort. A hydrophilic polymer (hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose) and an amphiphilic polymer (zein) have been evaluated for the development of Tenofovir sustained-release vaginal films. The modification of the film's properties by the inclusion of polar (glycerol and polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG)) and amphiphilic (tributyl citrate and oleic acid) plasticisers was also evaluated. The films' physicochemical and mechanical properties were determined. The in vitro release of Tenofovir from the films and their bioadhesive capacity and behaviour in simulated vaginal fluid were also assessed. The combination of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose and zein in films (ratio 1:5), with the inclusion of PEG (40% w/w) proved not only to have excellent mechanical properties, but was also able to release TFV in a sustained manner for 120 h and remain attached to biological tissues throughout this time. This film could be an interesting option for the prevention of sexual transmission of HIV.

Dong B, Lim LM, Hadinoto K. Enhancing the physical stability and supersaturation generation of amorphous drug-polyelectrolyte nanoparticle complex via incorporation of crystallization inhibitor at the nanoparticle formation step: A case of HPMC versus PVP. Eur J Pharm Sci 2019; 138:105035. [PMID: 31386892 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2019.105035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2019] [Revised: 08/02/2019] [Accepted: 08/02/2019] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
Amorphous drug-polyelectrolyte nanoparticle complex (or nanoplex in short) has emerged as a highly attractive solubility enhancement strategy of poorly-soluble drugs attributed to its simple and highly efficient preparation. The existing nanoplex formulation, however, exhibits poor amorphous form stability during long-term storage for drugs with high crystallization propensity. Using ciprofloxacin (CIP) and sodium dextran sulfate (DXT) as the model drug-polyelectrolyte nanoplex, we investigated the feasibility of incorporating crystallization inhibiting agents, i.e. hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), at the nanoplex formation step to improve the physical stability of the CIP nanoplex. The effects of the HPMC or PVP additions on the nanoplex's physical characteristics (i.e. size, zeta potential, CIP payload), CIP utilization rate, dissolution rate, and supersaturation generation were also examined. The results showed that the additions of HPMC or PVP increased the CIP nanoplex size (from 300 to 500 nm) and CIP utilization rate (from 65% to 90% w/w) with minimal impacts on the CIP payload (70-80% w/w). Their additions had opposite impacts on the nanoplex's colloidal stability due to surfactant nature of PVP. Significantly, unlike the CIP-DXT and CIP-DXT-PVP nanoplexes, the CIP-DXT-HPMC nanoplex remained amorphous after three-month accelerated storage, while also exhibited superior solubility enhancement (15-30% higher).

Abstract
Starch films incorporated with tea polyphenol (TP) were developed to produce active food packaging. The effect of the incorporation of TP with different content on the structure, physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity and antimicrobial activity of the starch films was systematically evaluated. Results showed that TP was well dispersed in the starch matrix, which induced a slight influence on the surface and barrier properties of the films. TP addition led to an important improvement in antioxidant capability, as well as inhibition efficiency against the microorganisms of S. aureus and E. coli. However, a decrease in mechanical properties of films was observed. Moreover, a new automatic counting method which combined the computer vision and machine learning algorithm was developed to identify and count the colonies, and the method performed much faster without subjective uncertainty.
