Efficient production of pullulan by Aureobasidium pullulans using a multi-objective optimization strategy with orthogonal experimental design coupling artificial neural network and genetic algorithm. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 280:135588. [PMID: 39288865 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135588] [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: 05/11/2024] [Revised: 08/06/2024] [Accepted: 09/11/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024]
Abstract
Efficient pullulan production has long been a central research focus. This study used maltodextrin as the carbon source for pullulan production by Aureobasidium pullulans fermentation. A hybrid optimization approach, integrating orthogonal experimental design (OED), backpropagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN), and elite strategy non-dominated sequential genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II), was developed. Range analysis based on OED revealed that MgSO4·7H2O significantly affects production but less impacts molecular weight, while pH notably influences molecular weight with a lesser effect on production, underscoring the need for multi-objective optimization. The BP-ANN model showed strong predictive capabilities, with goodness-of-fit values of 0.984 and 0.980 for production and molecular weight, respectively. Using this model as the fitness function for the optimization algorithm enhanced efficiency. Taking cost factors into account, the BP-ANN-NSGA-II algorithm identified the optimal fermentation medium conditions, resulting in a 6.89 % increase in production, a 368.97 % increase in molecular weight, and a 42.49 % reduction in cost. The maximum comprehensive optimization efficiency is 63.73 %, and the multi-objective optimization is better than the single objective optimization. This method significantly guides the improvement of pullulan fermentation optimization efficiency.

Design and preparation of a novel pullulan hard capsule formulation: A promising green candidate and study of crucial capsule features. Heliyon 2024; 10:e28969. [PMID: 38617967 PMCID: PMC11015124 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e28969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Plant-based hard capsules have gained considerable attention because of their great properties. Accordingly, designing and developing of these kinds of capsules will be a difficult task. Herein, an innovative pullulan-based hard capsule formulation was prepared for the first time. A series of characterization approaches, including Fourier transform infrared, field emission scanning electron microscope, and rheology analysis, were utilized to figure out the straightforward preparation of a designed hard capsule. Many tests and experiments were performed to achieve the optimum capsule formulation. Based on the obtained results, specifications such as uniform downfall and non-desirable adhesion, and other ideal characteristics of the capsule display the critical function. The gelling promoter of divalent cationic salts is more beneficial than its single-valent counterparts. With respect to the key role of gelling promoter, the presence of chosen MgSO4.7H2O salt and the source of selected carrageenan are important parameters to achieve optimal formulation. Moreover, field emission scanning electron microscope images illustrate that the weight ratio of 3.5 (gelling agent to salt) displays uniform surface morphology without any impurities or other foreign materials. Likewise, the outcomes of the rheology test also illustrated that the weight ratio of 3.5 is preferable. Considering the different weight ratios, the benefits of a weight ratio of 3.5 outweigh the other investigated ratios. Overall, the current research addresses substantial information about developing pullulan-based hard capsules for target usage.

[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
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.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15102247. [PMID: 37242822 DOI: 10.3390/polym15102247] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
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
Pullulan, an α-glucan polysaccharide, is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, highly biocompatible, edible and biodegradable in nature. The long chains of glucopyranose rings in pullulan structure are linked together by α-(1 → 4) and α-(1 → 6) glycosidic linkages. The occurrence of both glycosidic linkages in the pullulan structure contributes to its distinctive properties. The unique structure of pullulan makes it a potent candidate for both pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical applications. In pharmaceuticals, it can be used as a drug carrier and in various dosage formulations. It has been widely used in drug targeting, implants, ocular dosage forms, topical formulations, oral dosage forms, and oral liquid formulations, etc. Pullulan can be used as a potential carrier of active ingredients and their site-specific delivery to skin layers for cosmeceutical applications. It has been extensively used in cosmeceutical formulations like creams, shampoo, lotions, sunscreen, facial packs, etc. The current review highlights applications of pullulan in pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical applications.

Abstract
Pullulan has many potential applications in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and environmental industries. However, the yield and molecular properties of pullulan produced by various strains still need to be promoted to fit the application needs. A novel yeast-like strain Aureobasidium pullulans BL06 producing high molecular weight (Mw) pullulan (3.3 × 106 Da) was isolated and identified in this study. The remarkable Mw of pullulan produced by A. pullulans BL06 was the highest level ever reported thus far. To further regulate the biosynthesis of pullulan in A. pullulans BL06, three gene knockout strains A. pullulans BL06 ΔPMAs, A. pullulans BL06 Δmel, and A. pullulans BL06 ΔPMAsΔmel, were constructed. The results showed that A. pullulans BL06 ΔPMAs could produce 140.2 g/L of moderate Mw (1.3 × 105 Da) pullulan after 120 h of fermentation. The highest yield level of pullulan to date could vastly reduce its production cost and expand its application scope and potential. The application experiments in food preservation showed that the moderate-Mw pullulan obtained in this work could reduce the weight loss of celery cabbages and mangos by 12.5% and 22%, respectively. Thus, the novel strains A. pullulans BL06 and A. pullulans BL06 ΔPMAs possessed unlimited development prospects in pullulan production at various Mw ranges and pullulan applications in multiple fields.

Abstract
Pullulan is a microbial polymer, commercially produced from Aureobasidium pullulans. Downstream processing of pullulan involves a multi-stage process which should be efficient, safe and reproducible. In liquid-liquid separations, firstly cell free extract is separated. Cell biomass can be separated after fermentation either by centrifugation or filtration. Due to practically insolubility of pullulan in organic solvents, ethanol and isopropanol are the most commonly used organic solvents for its recovery. Pullulan can also be purified by chromatographic techniques, but these are not cost effective for the purification of pullulan. Efficient aqueous two-phase system can be used for the purification of pullulan. The current review describes the methods and perspectives used for solid-liquid separation, liquid-liquid separations and finishing steps for the recovery of pullulan. Techniques used to determine the structural attributes of pullulan have also been highlighted.

Abstract
In this work, a modified dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) bone cement with unique biodegradable ability in a calcium phosphate cement system was prepared by the hydration reaction of monocalcium phosphate monohydrate and calcium oxide and integration with pullulan (Pul), a non-toxic, biocompatible, viscous, and water-soluble polysaccharide that has been successfully used to improve defects in DCPD bone cement, especially its rapid solidification, fragile mechanical properties, and easy collapse. The effect of different contents of Pul on the structure and properties of DCPD were also studied in detail. The modified cement was characterised by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible absorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, and rheological property measurements. The results indicated that Pul promoted the hydration formation of DCPD, and interface bonding occurred between Pul and DCPD. With increasing content of Pul, the setting time of the DCPD bone cement increased from 2.6 min to 42.3 min, the compressive strength increased from 0 MPa to 20.4 MPa, and the anti-collapse ability also improved owing to the strong interface bonding, implying that the DCPD bone cement improved by Pul has better potential for application in the field of non-loading bone regenerative medicine compared to unmodified DCPD bone cement.

Abstract
Postoperative adhesions (POA) are one of the main problems suffered by patients and are a common complaint. It is considered to be closely associated with the healing mechanism of damaged tissues. Tissue adhesions accompany other symptoms such as inflammation, pain, and even dyskinesia under certain conditions, compromising the patients' quality of life. On the other hand, common treatments involve high costs, re-surgery or long-term hospital stays. Therefore, alternative approaches need to be formulated so that aforementioned problems can be resolved. To this end, a review of recent advances in this context is imperative. In this review, we have highlighted the mechanism of adhesion formation, advances in common therapeutic approaches, and prospective treatments in preventing tissue adhesions. Based on the literature, it can be determined that the disadvantages of available commercial products in the treatment of tissue adhesion have led researchers to utilize alternative methods for designing anti-adhesive products with different structures such as electrospun fibrous mats, hydrogels, and nanospheres. These studies are on the fast track in producing optimal anti-adhesion materials. We hope that this article can attract attention by showing various mechanisms and solutions involved in adhesion problems and inspire the further development of anti-adhesion biomaterials.
