Abstract
Fucoxanthin (Fx) has garnered significant interest due to its exceptional biological properties. However, its efficacy in enhancing food quality and human health is contingent upon the solubility of the compound in water and its physicochemical stability. Therefore, nanocarriers must be developed to enhance the stability and biocompatibility of Fx. In this study, oxidized paramylon and Fx self-assembled nanoparticles (Fx-OEP) were prepared via the anti-solvent method, with a loading rate of 82.47 % for Fx. The Fx-OEP exhibited robust storage and photostability. In vitro simulated digestion assays demonstrated that Fx-OEP effectively protected Fx from premature gastric release, while achieving a release efficiency of 72.17 % in the intestinal phase. Fx-OEP has the capacity to scavenge a range of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by cellular oxidative stress. Treatment with Fx-OEP resulted in a significant reduction in ROS accumulation in insulin-resistant HepG2 cells, which was attributed to the activation of the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 (Nrf2/HO-1) pathway. This, in turn, activated insulin receptor substrate 1/glucose transporter type 4 (IRS1/GLUT4), promoting cellular glucose absorption and utilization. These findings indicate the potential of self-assembled nanoparticles based on oxidized paramylon as a new type of nanocarrier for delivering hydrophobic substances.

Abstract
Yeast cell wall (YCW) polysaccharides, including β-glucans, mannans, chitins, and glycogens, can be extracted from the waste of beer industry. They are environmentally friendly, abundant, inexpensive raw materials, and have shown broad biological activities and application potentials. The exploitation of yeast polysaccharides is of great importance for environmental protection and resource utilization. This paper reviews the structural features and preparation of YCW polysaccharides. The solubility and emulsification of yeast polysaccharides and the properties of binding metal ions are presented. In addition, biological activities such as blood glucose and lipid lowering, immune regulation, antioxidant, promotion of intestinal health, and promotion of wound healing are proposed, highlighting the beneficial effects of yeast polysaccharides on human health. Through modification, the physical and chemical properties of yeast polysaccharides are changed, which emphasizes the promotion of their biological activities and properties. In addition, the food applications of yeast polysaccharides, including the food packaging film, emulsifier, thickening agent, and fat alternatives, are focused and discussed.

Abstract
This study investigated the adsorption behavior of Pb2+ by three different oxidized yeast β-glucans (OYG) and their effect on lead-induced PC12 cytotoxicity. The analysis revealed that the adsorption kinetics conformed to pseudo-first-order model and the adsorption capacities for Pb2+ (36.50, 41.61 and 50.31 μg/mg for OYG1-3) showed a positive correlation with oxidation degree (15.2%, 47.3% and 71.2% for OYG1-3). Additionally, the lead adsorption by OYGs showed an endothermic process and the adsorption capacity increased with the increasing Pb2+ concentration in the aqueous phase. Then, it was found that OYGs were biocompatible and could increase cell viability from 60% to 80% during lead stress. Nuclear staining revealed an inhibitory effect of OYGs on cell apoptosis, with the best performance for OYG3. Furthermore, OYGs could significantly suppress lead-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) in PC12 cells. Specifically, when being supplemented with 20 μg/mL OYG3, the increase of fluorescence intensity caused by the production of ROS and NO in PC12 cells were significantly alleviated from 2.65 and 2.6 to 1.23 and 1.35-fold, respectively. Our findings indicate that OYGs could adsorb lead effectively and protect PC12 cells from lead-induced cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Recent advances on brewer's yeast cell wall polysaccharides have unraveled exquisite structural features and diverse composition with (β1→3), (β1→6), (α1→4), (β1→4)-mix-linked glucans that are recognized to interact with different cell receptors and trigger specific biological responses. Herein, a comprehensive showcase of structure-biofunctional relationships between yeast polysaccharides and their biological targets is highlighted, with a focus on polysaccharide features that govern the biomedical activity. The insolubility of β-glucans is a crucial factor for binding and activation of Dectin-1 receptor, operating as adjuvants of immune responses. Contrarily, soluble low molecular weight β-glucans have a strong inhibition of reactive oxygen species production, acting as antagonists of Dectin-1 mediated signaling. Soluble glucan-protein moieties can also act as antitumoral agents. The balance between mannoproteins-TLR2 and β-glucans-Dectin-1 receptors-activation is crucial for osteogenesis. Biomedical applications value can also be obtained from yeast microcapsules as oral delivery systems, where highly branched (β1→6)-glucans lead to higher receptor affinity.

Abstract
In this study, luteolin-oxidized lotus root starch (OLRS) nanoparticles (NPs) were developed to improve the stability and antioxidant activity of luteolin. Results showed that a stable luteolin-OLRS NPs was formed using luteolin and OLRS (oxidation degree, 15%) in the weight ratio of 3:1, as well as anti-solvent and solvent in the volume ratio of 10:1. Under this condition, the particle size, polydispersity index and zeta-potential of luteolin-OLRS NPs was 305 nm, 0.173 and -20.8 mV, respectively. The analysis of transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated that the luteolin was successfully encapsulated in OLRS NPs, giving an encapsulation efficiency of 87.2%. The release characteristic and antioxidant activity of encapsulated luteolin were further investigated. Results exhibited that the OLRS NPs enabled luteolin to be stable in simulated gastric fluid and sustained release in simulated intestinal fluid, leading to the enhancement of antioxidant activity of luteolin.

Abstract
Although β-glucan could bind to Dectin-1 to exert bioactivity, the influence of molecular size and chain conformation of β-glucan on its interaction with Dectin-1 is still unclear. This work investigated the molecular sizes and chain conformations of five water-soluble yeast β-glucan (WYG1-5) fractions as well as their interactions with Dectin-1 by fluorescence spectroscopy and microscale thermophoresis. Results revealed a spherical conformation for higher molecular weight WYG and a stiff chain conformation for smaller molecular weight WYG. The WYG and Dectin-1 interactions were in the order of WYG-2 > WYG-1 > WYG-3 > WYG-4 > WYG-5. The spherical WYG-2 exhibited the largest binding constant of 7.91 × 105 M1 and the lowest dissociation constant of 22.1 nM to Dectin-1. Additionally, the underlying interaction mechanism showed that it may be easier for spherical WYG with longer side chains to interact with receptor Dectin-1.

Effect of thermal processing on the molecular, structural, and antioxidant characteristics of highland barley β-glucan. Carbohydr Polym 2021; 271:118416.

Abstract
This present work evaluated the effect of heat fluidization, microwave roasting and baking treatment of highland barley (HB) on the molecular, structural, thermal and antioxidant characteristics of β-glucan. Fluorescence microscopy results showed that heat fluidization exhibited the greatest disruption effect on endosperm cell walls, resulting in the highest extractability (3.35 ± 0.06 g/100 g flour) and purity (92.67 ± 0.73%) of β-glucan. After HB thermal processing, the molecular weight and polydispersity index of β-glucan were respectively reduced by 3.68%-90.35% and 26.45%-39.83%, and its microscopic molecular morphology transformed from large sphere aggregate to alveolate gel network structure. Meanwhile, the structural elucidation by X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy revealed that thermal processing induced the scission of polymeric chain and formation of lattice-type microgels without changing the primary functional groups of β-glucan. Furthermore, thermogravimetry and antioxidant results indicated the thermal stability and antioxidant activity of β-glucan were enhanced by thermal processing.
