Food Res Int 2024; 189:114547. [PMID: 38876606 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114547] [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: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
Phenolic compounds represent natural compounds endowed with diverse biological functionalities. However, their inherent limitations, characterized by poor water solubility and low oral bioavailability, limit their broader applications. Encapsulation delivery systems are emerging as a remedy, able to ameliorate these limitations by enhancing the stability and solubility of phenolic compounds. In this study, a novel, customized pH-driven approach was developed by determining the optimal deprotonation and protonation points of three different types of polyphenols: ferulic acid, resveratrol, and rhein. The polyphenols were successfully encapsulated in a casein carrier. The solubility, stability, LogD, and LogS curves of the three polyphenols at different pH values were analyzed to identify the optimal deprotonation points for ferulic acid (pH 9), resveratrol (pH 11), and rhein (pH 10). Based on these findings, three different nanoparticles were prepared. The encapsulation efficiencies of the three phenolic compounds were 95.86%, 94.62%, and 94.18%, respectively, and the casein nanoparticles remained stable at room temperature for seven days. FTIR spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and molecular docking study substantiated the encapsulation of phenolic compounds within the hydrophobic core of casein-based complexes, facilitated by hydrogen bonding interactions and hydrophobic interactions. Furthermore, the analysis of antioxidant activity elucidated that casein nanoparticles heightened both the water solubility and antioxidant efficacy of the phenolic compounds. This customized encapsulation technique, by establishing a transitional pH value, resolves the challenges of chemical instability and facile degradation of polyphenols under alkaline conditions in the application process of pH-driven methods. It presents novel insights for the application of polyphenols in the domains of food and biomedical fields.

Design and Characterization of a Novel Core-Shell Nano Delivery System Based on Zein and Carboxymethylated Short-Chain Amylose for Encapsulation of Curcumin. Foods 2024; 13:1837.

Abstract
Curcumin is a naturally occurring hydrophobic polyphenolic compound with a rapid metabolism, poor absorption, and low stability, which severely limits its bioavailability. Here, we employed a starch-protein-based nanoparticle approach to improve the curcumin bioavailability. This study focused on synthesizing nanoparticles with a zein "core" and a carboxymethylated short-chain amylose (CSA) "shell" through anti-solvent precipitation for delivering curcumin. The zein@CSA core-shell nanoparticles were extensively characterized for physicochemical properties, structural integrity, ionic stability, in vitro digestibility, and antioxidant activity. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy indicates nanoparticle formation through hydrogen-bonding, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions between zein and CSA. Zein@CSA core-shell nanoparticles exhibited enhanced stability in NaCl solution. At a zein-to-CSA ratio of 1:1.25, only 15.7% curcumin was released after 90 min of gastric digestion, and 66% was released in the intestine after 240 min, demonstrating a notable sustained release effect. Furthermore, these nanoparticles increased the scavenging capacity of the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) free radical compared to those composed solely of zein and were essentially nontoxic to Caco-2 cells. This research offers valuable insights into curcumin encapsulation and delivery using zein@CSA core-shell nanoparticles.

Abstract
Black rice anthocyanins (BRA) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared using hyaluronic acid (HA), oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) to enhance the absorption and bioactivity of anthocyanins (ACNs). Results showed that HA/OHA-BSA-BRA NPs had a spherical morphology and excellent dispensability, with hydrated radius ~ 500 nm, zeta potential ~ - 30 mV, and encapsulation efficiency ~21 %. Moreover, using in vitro gastrointestinal release assay, we demonstrated that both BRA-loaded NPs exhibited effective controlled release properties of ACNs, significantly enhancing the accessibility of ACNs to the intestine. Cellular experiments showed that both two NPs had good biocompatibility and increased uptake of BRA. Furthermore, in comparison to the free BRA group, both BRA NPs groups significantly decreased the TEER value and increased the expression of tight junction proteins (Claudin 1, Occludin and ZO-1) in Caco-2 cell monolayers with LPS-induced damage. Therefore, our study demonstrated that HA/OHA-BSA-BRA NPs are promising carriers of ACNs and can effectively prevent the LPS-induced intestinal barrier injury in vitro.

Abstract
The limited bioavailability of β-carotene hinders its potential application in functional foods, despite its excellent antioxidant properties. Protein-based nanoparticles have been widely used for the delivery of β-carotene to overcome this limitation. However, these nanoparticles are susceptible to environmental stress. In this study, we utilized glycosylated oat protein isolate to prepare nanoparticles loaded with β-carotene through the emulsification-evaporation method, aiming to address this challenge. The results showed that β-carotene was embedded into the spherical nanoparticles, exhibiting relatively high encapsulation efficiency (86.21 %) and loading capacity (5.43 %). The stability of the nanoparticles loaded with β-carotene was enhanced in acidic environments and under high ionic strength. The nanoparticles offered protection to β-carotene against gastric digestion and facilitated its controlled release (95.76 % within 6 h) in the small intestine, thereby leading to an improved in vitro bioavailability (65.06 %) of β-carotene. This improvement conferred the benefits on β-carotene nanoparticles to alleviate tert-butyl hydroperoxide-induced oxidative stress through the upregulation of heme oxygenase-1 and NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 expression, as well as the promotion of nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2. Our study suggests the potential for the industry application of nanoparticles based on glycosylated proteins to effectively deliver hydrophobic nutrients and enhance their application.

Abstract
Curcumin, a bioactive compound derived from the rhizome of Curcuma longa, has gained widespread attention for its potential therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer effects. However, its poor aqueous solubility, instability and limited bioavailability have hindered its clinical applications. New beads formulations based on sodium alginate biopolymer (SA) and poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) were successfully prepared and evaluated as a potential drug vehicle for extended release of curcumin (Cur). Pristine and curcumin loaded calcium alginate/poly vinyl alcohol beads (CA/PVA and CA/PVA/Cur) at different compositions of SA and PVA were prepared by an ionotropic gelation method of SA followed by two freeze-thawing (FT) cycles for further crosslinking of PVA. Characterization techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Visible spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to confirm the successful microencapsulation of curcumin within the CA/PVA microcapsules. Furthermore, the swelling of pristine beads, pH-sensitive properties and in vitro release studies of curcumin loaded beads were investigated at 37 °C in simulated gastric fluid (SGF), simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) and simulated colonic fluid (SCF). The effect of the polymer blend ratio, the encapsulation efficiency (EE %) of curcumin, the loading capacity (LC μg/mg), the sphericity factor (SF), the antioxidant activity of the elaborated beads and their antimicrobial properties against bacteria and fungi were just as much evaluated. The obtained results indicate that the swelling and the behavior of the developed beads were influenced by the pH of the test medium and the PVA content. The introduction of PVA into the SA matrix greatly enhanced the physicochemical properties, the encapsulation efficiency and the loading capacity of the elaborated microparticles. Results also suggested that the antioxidant activity of the loaded beads (CA/PVA/Cur) showed a higher DPPH radical scavenging activity while the bacterial and fungal strains proved sensitive to the different formulations used in the assay. Moreover, the important drug encapsulation efficiency and the sustainable drug release of these materials make them promising for the development of new drug carrier systems for colon targeting.

Abstract
This work expands the functionality of fish scale gelatin (FSG) as a carrier of hydrophobic bioactive substances. The hydrophobicity of FSG was enhanced to promote its interaction with hydrophobic curcumin and to increase its bioavailability. This results in a remarkable increase in the curcumin loading capacity of acid-hydrolyzed FSG (HFSG) from 1.08 ± 0.08 μg/mg (0 h) to 9.15 ± 0.21 μg/mg (3 h). The amino acid composition indicated that acid hydrolysis effectively increased the ratio of hydrophobic amino acids of FSG. Acid hydrolysis facilitated the transformation of the α-helical conformation into a β-sheet structure. Hydrophobic interactions between HFSG and curcumin were strengthened by moderate acid hydrolysis. A sustained-release profile emerged for the curcumin-loaded HFSG during simulated gastrointestinal digestion, thereby improving the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of curcumin. These findings contribute to the application of acid hydrolysis in modifying FSG for enhanced hydrophobicity and curcumin loading capacity in the food industry.

Abstract
In this work, pectin was employed as a coating material to fabricate zein/whey protein isolate (WPI)/pectin complex nanoparticles via a pH-adjusted and heat-induced electrostatic adsorption process for potential oral administration applications of curcumin. Factors such as the order of raw material addition, heating temperature and pH, and zein concentration were comprehensively examined. In addition to electrostatic interactions, Fourier transform infrared and fluorescence spectroscopy indicated that hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds were also involved in the development of complex nanoparticles. The complex nanoparticles obtained not only improved the antioxidant activity of curcumin in aqueous phase, but also contributed to its controlled release under gastrointestinal conditions. Our findings revealed that the heating pH and adding sequence of raw materials had a notable impact on the properties of complex nanoparticles, and that pectin coating had an exceptional stabilizing effect on complex nanoparticles under gastrointestinal circumstances. This study provides novel insights and perspectives for the preparation of polysaccharide-protein complex nanoparticles, signifying the potential use of zein/WPI/pectin complex nanoparticles as delivery vehicles in the functional food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Urolithin A (UroA) is gut metabolites of ellagitannins possessing a vast range of biological activities, but its poor water solubility and low bioavailability hinder its potential applications. This study utilized the pH dependent dissolution characteristics of UroA and employed a simple pH-driven method to load UroA into liposomes. The characterization and stability of obtained liposomes under different conditions were evaluated, and their oral bioavailability was tested by pharmacokinetics, and compared with UroA liposomes prepared using traditional thin film dispersion (TFM-ULs). Results indicated that liposomes could effectively encapsulate UroA. The UroA liposomes prepared by the pH-driven method (PDM-ULs) showed lower particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and higher encapsulation efficiency than TFM-ULs. Interestingly, better thermal stability, storage stability, in vitro digestion stability, and higher bioaccessibility were also found on PDM-ULs. Moreover, pharmacokinetic experiments in rats demonstrated that PDM-ULs could significantly improve the bioavailability of UroA, with an absorption efficiency 1.91 times that of TFM-ULs. Therefore, our findings suggest that liposomes prepared by pH-driven methods have great potential in improving the stability and bioavailability of UroA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Native walnut protein is an alkali-soluble protein that seriously limits the application of walnut protein. The pH-shifting method could improve the solubility of walnut proteins and enable the encapsulation of active ingredients. The present study aimed to prepare water-soluble nanoparticles of curcumin using walnut protein and evaluate the process of walnut protein self-assembly, interaction between walnut protein and curcumin, encapsulation properties, and stability of nanoparticles. RESULTS The solubility of native walnut protein was poor, but the solubility of walnut protein nanoparticles (WPNP) formed by walnut protein after pH-shifting significantly improved to 91.5 ± 1.2%. This is because, during the process of pH changing from 7 to 12 and back to 7, walnut protein first unfolded under alkaline conditions and then refolded under pH drive, finally forming an internal hydrophobic and external hydrophilic shell-core structures. The quenching type of walnut protein and curcumin was static quenching, and the quenching constant was 2.0 × 1014 mol-1 L-1 s-1 , indicating that the interaction between walnut protein and curcumin was non-covalent. Adding curcumin resulted in the formation of nanoparticles with small particle size compared with the no-load. The loading capacity of curcumin-loaded walnut protein nanoparticles (WPNP-C) was 222 mg g-1 walnut protein isolate. Under the same mass, the curcumin equivalent concentration in aqueous solution of WPNP-C was 17 000 times higher than that of the native curcumin. CONCLUSION The solubility of the self-assembled WPNP significantly increased after pH-shifting treatment. The walnut protein carrier could improve the stability of the encapsulated curcumin. Therefore, walnut proteins could be used as water-soluble carriers for hydrophobic drugs. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Food Res Int 2023; 170:112971. [PMID: 37316013 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112971] [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: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Quercetin (Que) is a hydrophobic flavanol that has the potential to prevent colon diseases. This study aimed to design hordein/pectin nanoparticle as a colon-specific delivery system for quercetin. The encapsulation efficiency, physicochemical stability and release properties of the nanoparticles were estimated. The FTIR and secondary structure analysis indicated that hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and electrostatic attractions were formed in the quercetin-loaded hordein/pectin nanoparticles (Que-hordein/pectin NPs). In comparison to Que-hordein NPs, Que-hordein/pectin NPs exhibited better colloidal stability (physical, UV light, heating and salt). Furthermore, the release properties studies showed that pectin coating restrained the premature release of Que from hordein NPs in gastric fluid and intestinal fluid. In-vitro release, when the Que-hordein/pectin NPs were exposed to simulated colonic fluid (SCF) for 6 h, quercetin was greatly released from the hordein/pectin NPs (15.29 ± 1.17% - 80.60 ± 1.78%). In-vivo release, the concentration of Que (μg/g) in Que-hordein/pectin NPs was 2.18 times higher than Que-hordein NPs in colon tissue after 6 h of oral administration. This study suggests that Que-hordein/pectin NPs have promising applications in the specific delivery and release of quercetin to the colon.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR) was encapsulated in whey protein isolate/hyaluronic acid (WPI/HA) electrostatic nanoparticles at pH 5.4, 4.4, 3.4 and 2.4 using ethanol desolvation (DNP) or pH-shifting (PSNP) method. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized and compared for physiochemical properties, structure, stability, and in vitro digestion. PSNPs had smaller particle size, more uniform distribution, and higher encapsulation efficiency than DNPs. Main driving forces involved for fabricating the nanoparticles were electrostatic forces, hydrophobic forces, and hydrogen bonds. PSNP exhibited better resistance towards salt, thermal treatment, and long-term storage while DNPs showed stronger protection for CUR against thermal degradation and photodegradation. Stability of nanoparticles increased with decreasing pH values. In vitro simulated digestion exhibited that DNPs had lower release rate of CUR in SGF and higher antioxidant activity of its digestion products. Data may provide a comprehensive reference for selection of loading approach when constructing nanoparticles based on proteins/polysaccharides electrostatic complexes.

Abstract
This work aims to advance the understanding of the synergistic mechanism of lecithin and polymers (alginate, CMC, and PVP) in stabilizing curcumin, with a major focus on understanding the nanocomplex formation process and the main binding energy between molecules. It is demonstrated that lecithin and polymers have a synergistic effect in increasing the thermal acid, light, and digestion stability of curcumin. The potential mechanism is that the hydrophobic parts of curcumin molecules are first anchored at the region of the hydrophobic cavity of lecithin by van der Waals, while the hydrophilic parts are outward and are further encapsulated by hydrophilic polymers by van der Waals and electrostatic interaction to form a protective shell. This study contributes to our understanding of the synergistic mechanism of lecithin, polymers, and hydrophobic compounds, which can promote the synergistic use of lecithin and polymers to prepare nanocomplexes as an important tool for delivering bioactive compounds.

Abstract
In this study, a kind of nanoparticle prepared using gum arabic as a sole wall material for loading curcumin was obtained. The properties and digestive characteristics of the curcumin-loaded nanoparticle were determined. Results showed that the maximum loading amount of the nanoparticle was 0.51 µg/mg with an approximately 500 nm size. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum showed that the complexation was mainly related to the -C[bond, double bond]O, -CH, and -C-O-C- groups. The curcumin-loaded nanoparticle exhibited good stability under highly concentrated salinity stress, and the stability of the curcumin loaded in nanoparticles was significantly higher than that of free curcumin under ultraviolet radiation. The curcumin loaded in nanoparticle was released mainly in the intestinal digestion stage, and the release process was sensitive to the pH changes rather than protease. In conclusion, these nanoparticles can be a potential nanocarrier for enhancing the stability of curcumin which can be applied in the salt-containing food system.

Abstract
Curcumin (Cur) has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other biological activities, but its poor stability, low water solubility and other defects limit the application. Herein, Cur was nanocomposited with soy isolate protein (SPI) and pectin (PE) for the first time and its characterization, bioavailability and antioxidant activity were discussed. The optimal encapsulation process of SPI-Cur-PE was as follow: the addition amount of PE was 4 mg, Cur was 0.6 mg and at pH of 7. It was observed by SEM that SPI-Cur-PE were partially aggregated. The average particle size of SPI-Cur-PE was 210.1 nm and the zeta potential was -31.99 mV. Through XRD, FT-IR and DSC analysis, the SPI-Cur-PE was formed through hydrophobic interaction and electrostatic interaction. The SPI-Cur-PE released more slowly in simulated gastrointestinal treatment and displayed higher photostability and thermal stability. SPI-Cur-PE, SPI-Cur and free Cur had scavenging activities for 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radicals.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to investigate the fabrication of core-shell nanoparticles using phosphorylase-catalyzed chain extension of phytoglycogen, and to analyze the changes of structure and characterizations in detail. During the glucosylation reaction, the inorganic phosphate increased substantially up to 2.3 mg/mL in the initial 12 h, and then increased incrementally to 2.5 mg/mL at 24 h. The similar to trends was observed for increasing Mw and Rz over time, due to glucosyl transfers on the surface chain to form a corona around the phytoglycogen core with a larger size. Phosphorylase modification increases the percentages of longer chain fractions and the average chain length increased from degree of polymerization (DP) 11.6 to DP 48.2. The modified phytoglycogen exhibited the characteristic of B-type crystalline structure, indicating that the specific core-shell nanoparticle with inner amorphous nature and outer crystalline layer. The above results revealed that the potentiality of enzymatic chain elongation of phytoglycogen to design novel core-shell nanoparticle with tailor-made structure and functionality.

Abstract
This study sought to understand how the features of proteins impact the properties of nanoparticles assembled using the pH-shifting approach and the mechanism behind. Four legume protein isolates from faba bean, mung bean, soy, and pea were fractionated into natural aqueous-soluble (Sup) and aqueous-insoluble (Sed) fractions, which were proved to serve as shell and core, respectively, for the pH-driven-assembled nanoparticles. Using zein instead of Sed fractions as the core improved size uniformity, and particle size can be precisely controlled by adjusting core/shell ratios. Using the proteomic technique and silico characterization, the features of identified proteins indicated that hydrophobicity rather than molecular weight, surface charge, etc., mainly determined particle size. With molecular docking, structural analysis, and dissociation tests, the assembly of zein/Sup-based nanoparticles was dominantly driven by hydrophobic interactions. This study provides constructive information on the correlation between protein features and the properties of pH-driven-assembled nanoparticles, achieving a precise control of particle size.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR; 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02 %) was loaded into binary 75/25 blend films based on polysaccharides (carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), gum Arabic (GAR), octenyl succinic anhydride modified starch (OSA), water-soluble soy polysaccharides (WSSP)) and gelatin (GEL). The GAR-based system was the least rough and, consequently, the most transparent of the films. An opposite result was found for the WSSP-based film. Despite the phase separation, the CMC75/GEL25 film exhibited excellent mechanical strength and stiffness. CUR improved the UV/VIS light-barrier characteristics of the films, but did not affect most of other physiochemical properties. X-ray diffractograms revealed that CUR provoked the rearrangement of the triple helical structure of GEL. As highly erodible, the CMC75/GEL25 carrier ensured the fastest and the most complete release of CUR. The OSA75/GEL25 system exhibited an opposite behavior. The kinetic profiles of the antiradical activity of the films did not reflect CUR release. A comparison of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH*) scavenging on the plateau revealed that the CUR-supplemented films had quite comparable antiradical potential. The CMC75/GEL25 system exhibited the highest colorimetric stability, likely as a result of complete encapsulation of CUR in the GEL-rich microspheres. Weak symptoms of physical aging (enthalpy relaxation) were found in the films.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an important role in the growth, invasion, and metastasis of tumor cells. The pH of TME is more acidic in solid tumors than in normal tissues. Although targeted delivery in TME has progressed, the complex and expensive construction of delivery systems has limited their application. FOF1-ATP synthase (FOF1-ATPase) is a rotation molecular motor found in bacteria, chloroplasts, and mitochondria. Here, FOF1-ATPase loaded chromatophores (chroma) isolated from thermophilic bacteria were extracted and utilized as a new delivery system targeting TME for the first time. Curcumin as model drug was successfully loaded by a filming-rehydration ultrasonic dispersion method to prepare a curcumin-loaded chroma delivery system (Cur-Chroma). The mobility and propensity distributions of Cur-Chroma reveal its specific pH-sensitive targeting driven by the transmembrane proton kinetic potential, demonstrating its distinct distribution in the TME and more favorable targeting delivery. Cellular uptake experiments indicated that Cur-Chroma entered cells through grid pathway-mediated endocytosis. In vivo studies have shown that Cur-Chroma can specifically target tumor tissue and effectively inhibit tumor growth with good safety. Curcumin's bioavailability and anti-tumor effects were significantly improved. These studies demonstrate that ATPase-loaded chromatophores are potentially ideal vehicles for anti-tumor drug delivery and have promising applications.

Abstract
Curcumin solid dispersions (Cur SDs) were prepared using hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) at different dosages. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy showed that the characteristic peak of curcumin shifted, and the addition of CMC enhanced this phenomenon. The addition of CMC reduced the contact angle, increased the surface free energy, and improved the solubility of Cur SDs. These changes were positively correlated with the amount of CMC. The surface morphology of Cur SDs changed from needle-like to sheet-like as observed by scanning electron microscopy. Cur SDs prepared by CMC and HPMC retained good biological activity. HT-29 human colon cancer cell analysis showed that the addition of CMC significantly improved the anti-proliferation effect of Cur SDs, thus enhancing the bioavailability of curcumin. Solid dispersions made with CMC and HPMC will be a promising hydrocolloid carrier to improve oral bioavailability and efficacy of curcumin.

Abstract
Green hydrophobically modified butyrylated dextrin (BD) was used to modulate casein (CN). The CN/BD complex nanoparticles were formed at different CN-to-BD mass ratios based on a pH-driven technology. The interaction force, stability, and emulsifying properties of complex nanoparticles were investigated. The nanoparticles had a negative charge and a small particle size (160.03, 152.6, 155.9, 206.13, and 231.67 nm) as well as excellent thermal stability and environmental stability (pH 4.5, 5.5, 6.6, 7.5, 8.5, and 9.5; ionic strength, 50, 100, 200, and 500 mM). Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated the successful preparation of complex nanoparticles and their spherical shape. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and dissociation analysis results showed that the main driving forces of formed CN/BD nanoparticles were hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction. Furthermore, the CN/BD nanoparticles (CN/BD mass ratio, 1:1; weight/weight) exhibited the lowest creaming index, and optical microscopy showed that it has the most evenly dispersed droplets after 7 d of storage, which indicates that the CN/BD nanoparticles had excellent emulsifying properties. Butyrylated dextrin forms complex nanoparticles with CN through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction to endow CN with superior properties. The results showed that it is possible to use pH-driven technology to form protein-polysaccharide complex nanoparticles, which provides some information on the development of novel food emulsifiers based on protein-polysaccharide nanoparticles. The study provided significant information on the improvement of CN properties and the development of emulsions based on CN.

Abstract
Ultrasound is effective to fabricate nanocomplex. Soymilk is a natural nanocarrier with good compatibility. However, information about soymilk-nutraceuticals nanocomplex is limited. In this work, soymilk was used to encapsulate icariin, a well known nutraceutical with poor bioavailability. The effect of ultrasound on the quality of icariin-soymilk nanocomplexes (ISNCs) was investigated. Ultrasound could reduce the particle size, improve the surface hydrophobicity and change the microstructure of soymilk. With increasing ultrasound treatment time, an increased surface hydrophobicity was observed. The highest encapsulation efficiency (89.67 %) and loading capacity (28.92 µg/mg) were found for USI-20, whereas the smallest particle size (132.47 nm) was observed for USI-120. USI-60 showed the lowest ζ-potential (-31.33 mV) and the highest bioaccessibility (76.08 %). Ultrasound could enhance the storage stability of ISNCs. The data of NMR and fluorescence indicated that ISNCs were mainly stabilized by hydrophobic interaction.

Abstract
In this study, soy β-conglycinin (7S) was glycated with dextran of different molecular masses (40, 70, 150, 500 kDa) by the dry-heating method to synthesize soy β-conglycinin-dextran (7S-DEX) conjugates. The curcumin (Cur) loaded nanocomplexes were prepared based on 7S-DEX conjugates by a pH-driven self-assemble strategy to enhance the solubility and thermal stability of curcumin. Results showed that the 7S-150 conjugates (glycated from 7S with dextran (150 kDa)) could remain stable in the pH 3.0-pH 8.0 range and during the heat treatment. The results of fluorescence quenching and FT-IR indicated that glycated 7S were combined with curcumin mainly by hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction, and 7S-150 conjugates had higher binding affinity than natural 7S for curcumin. The loading capacity (μg/mg) and encapsulation efficiency (EE%) of 7S-150-Cur were 16.06 μg/mg and 87.51%, respectively, significantly higher than that of 7S-Cur (12.41 μg/mg, 51.15%). The XRD spectrum showed that curcumin was exhibited in an amorphous state within the 7S-150-Cur nanocomplexes. After heating at 65 °C for 30 min, the curcumin retention of the 7S-150-Cur nanocomplexes was about 1.4 times higher than that of free curcumin. The particle size of 7S-150-Cur nanocomplexes was stable (in the range of 10-100 nm) during the long storage time (21 days).

Abstract
The properties of nutraceutical-loaded biopolymer nanoparticles fabricated by antisolvent co-precipitation (ASCP) and precipitation (ASP) were compared. Curcumin-loaded zein-tea saponin nanoparticles were fabricated using both methods and then their structural and physicochemical properties were characterized. The diameter of the nanoparticles prepared by ASCP were smaller (120-130 nm) than those prepared by ASP (140-160 nm). The encapsulation efficiency of the ASCP-nanoparticles (80.0%) was higher than the ASP-ones (71.0%) at a zein-to-curcumin mass ratio of 3:1, which was also higher than previous studies. The storage and light stability of curcumin was higher in zein-saponin nanoparticles than in zein nanoparticles. All nanoparticles had good water dispersibility after freeze-drying and rehydration. This study shows that nanoparticles produced by antisolvent co-precipitation have superior properties to those produced by antisolvent precipitation. The co-precipitation method leads to a higher encapsulation efficiency, smaller particle size, and greater storage stability, which may be advantageous for some applications.

Abstract
Shellac can nano-encapsulate curcumin by pH cycle. The starting point of the design is economy, simplicity, energy saving and safety. High loading capacity of curcumin is the unique advantage of shellac nanoparticles. The nanoparticles had good physicochemical stability and bioaccessibility. The redispersibility is proportional to the mass ratio of shellac-to-curcumin.
Curcumin is an active ingredient with multiple functions, however, its application is limited by its low stability, bioaccessibility, freeze-dried redispersibility, and solubilization. The work aims to improve the application of curcumin (Cur) by encapsulation. Shellac was the wall material inspired by its pH-dependent deprotonation and amphiphilic nature to form nanoparticles. The curcumin/shellac nanoparticles (S/Cur) exhibited a bright spot of high loading capacity (the maximum of higher than 70 %), while still having high encapsulation efficiency (the minimum of higher than 85 %). Transmission electron microscopy showed that S/Cur was a spherical structure. It exhibited good physical stability, including pH (4.0–8.0), ionic strength (NaCl, < 900 mM), thermo stability (80 ℃, 180 min), and storage stability (light and dark, 4 and 25 ℃, 20 days). Meanwhile, the chemical stability was increased by encapsulation. Furthermore, the bioaccessibility of Cur was improved to 75.95 %, which is attributed to the pH response of shellac. Additionally, S/Cur had freeze-dried redispersibility and solubilization, which is proportional to the mass ratio of shellac-to-Cur. The mechanism of S/Cur formation involved hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonds, and the nanoconfined Cur was amorphous.

Abstract
Anti-inflammatory drugs for ulcerative colitis (UC) treatment should specifically penetrate and accumulate in the colon tissue. Herein, a multi-bioresponsive anti-inflammatory drug (curcumin, CUR)-loaded heterogeneous double-membrane microgels (CUR@microgels) for oral administration was fabricated in this study, in which the inner core was derived from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and guar gum (GG) and the outer gel was decoration with alginate and chitosan by polyelectrolyte interactions. The structure and morphology of microgels were characterized. In vitro, the formulation exhibited good bio-responses at different pH conditions and sustained-release properties in simulated colon fluid with a drug-release rate of 84.6 % over 34 h. With the assistance of the outlayer gels, the microgels effectively delayed the premature drug release of CUR in the upper gastrointestinal tract. In vivo studies revealed that CUR@microgels specifically accumulated in the colon tissue for 24 h, which suggest that the interlayer gels were apt to reach colon lesion. As expected, the oral administration of microgels remarkably alleviated the symptoms of UC and protected the colon tissue in DSS-induced UC mice. The above results indicated that these facilely fabricated microgels which exhibited excellent biocompatibility and multi-bioresponsive drug release, had an apparent effect on the treatment of UC, which represents a promising drug delivery strategy for CUR in a clinical application.

Abstract
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has many excellent qualities such as its antitumor, antiradiation and anti-oxidation properties, but its application is limited because its oral bioavailability is low and stability is poor. In this paper, zein and gum arabic (GA) were used as wall materials to prepare Zein-GA complex nanoparticles for encapsulating and protecting the EGCG. The particle size of Zein-GA-EGCG complex nanoparticles ranged from 128.03–221.23 nm, and the EGCG encapsulation efficiency reached a maximum of 75.23% when the mass ratio of zein to GA was 1:1. The FTIR and XRD results illustrated that the components of the Zein-GA-EGCG complex nanoparticles interacted by electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions. The EGCG release rate of Zein-GA-EGCG nanoparticles (16.42%) was lower than that of Zein-EGCG (25.52%) during gastric digestion, and a large amount of EGCG was released during intestinal digestion, suggesting that the Zein-GA-EGCG nanoparticles could achieve the sustained release of EGCG during in vitro digestion. Hence, using Zein-GA complexes to encapsulate EGCG effectively increased the encapsulation efficiency of EGCG and realized the purpose of sustained release during simulated gastrointestinal digestion.

Abstract
Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the impact of their dietary choices on the environment, animal welfare, and health, which is causing many of them to adopt more plant-based diets. For this reason, many sectors of the food industry are reformulating their products to contain more plant-based ingredients. This article describes recent research on the formation and application of nano-enabled colloidal delivery systems formulated from plant-based ingredients, such as polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, and phospholipids. These delivery systems include nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanoliposomes, nanophytosomes, and biopolymer nanoparticles. The composition, size, structure, and charge of the particles in these delivery systems can be manipulated to create novel or improved functionalities, such as improved robustness, higher optical clarity, controlled release, and increased bioavailability. There have been major advances in the design, assembly, and application of plant-based edible nanoparticles within the food industry over the past decade or so. As a result, there are now a wide range of different options available for creating delivery systems for specific applications. In the future, it will be important to establish whether these formulations can be produced using economically viable methods and provide the desired functionality in real-life applications.

Fabrication and characterization of soy β-conglycinin-dextran-polyphenol nanocomplexes: Improvement on the antioxidant activity and sustained-release property of curcumin. Food Chem 2022; 395:133562. [PMID: 35763923 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.133562] [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: 01/27/2022] [Revised: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
In this study, glycated soy β-conglycinin (β-CG) stabilized curcumin (Cur) composites were fabricated by a unique reversible self-assembly character of β-conglycinin-dextran conjugates (β-CG-DEX). Intrinsic fluorescence and far-UV CD spectra revealed that glycation did not affect the self-assembly property of β-CG in the pH-shifting treatment. The structure of β-CG-DEX could be unfolded at pH 12.0 and reassembled during acidification (from pH 12.0 to 7.0). Meanwhile, β-CG-DEX-3d, which was incubated at 60 °C for 3 days, exhibited a high loading capacity (123.4 mg/g) for curcumin, which far exceeds that (74.90 mg/g) of β-CG-Cur. Moreover, the reassembled β-CG-DEX-3d-Cur showed eminent antioxidant activity of approximately 1.5 times higher than that of free curcumin. During the simulated gastrointestinal condition, compared with β-CG-Cur, β-CG-DEX-3d-Cur nanoparticles showed a more stable and sustained release of curcumin. Thus, β-CG-DEX has immense potential to become a new delivery carrier for hydrophobic food components by means of a self-assembly strategy.

Abstract
The food-derived peptides hydrolyzed from native food protein matrix exhibited various bioactivities and multimeric structures, which make them the promising well-defined nanoplatforms candidates to co-deliver themselves with other bioactive compounds. In this study, zein-egg white derived peptides-chitosan (Z-EWDP-CS) ternary nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully fabricated by the spontaneous assembly to enhance the stability and bioactivity of curcumin (Cur). The novel ternary NPs exhibited a typical nano-spherical structure (138.63 nm, 40.50 mV), and adorable encapsulation efficiency (EE, 93.87%) for Cur. FTIR, XRD and DSC results verified that Cur changed from a crystalline state to an amorphous state, and was successfully entrapped in the cavity of Z-EWDP-CS NPs. Furthermore, the thermal stability, photochemical stability, salt stability, and antioxidant activity were considerably improved in the NPs after the addition of EWDP. Our results demonstrate that the food-derived peptides could be an ideal affinity agent for the co-delivery of themselves with hydrophobic nutraceuticals.

Abstract
The objectives of the present study were to synthesize gliadin/tremella polysaccharide nanoparticles (Gli/TP NPs) as well as curcumin-loaded gliadin/tremella polysaccharide nanoparticles (Cur-Gli/TP NPs) and evaluate the encapsulation efficiency (EE), physicochemical stability and bioaccessibility of Cur-Gli/TP NPs. The physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles depended on the mass ratio of Gli to TP and pH values. The characterization of the Gli/TP NPs indicated that the prepared nanoparticles were the most stable when the Gli/TP mass ratio was 1:1 and pH was at 4.0-7.0. Afterward, prepared Cur-Gli/TP NPs at different pH values were studied. Compared with the EE of Cur (58.2%) in Cur-Gli NPs at pH 5.0, the EE of Cur (90.6%) in Cur-Gli/TP NPs at pH 5.0 was increased by 32.4%. Besides, the Cur-Gli/TP NPs possessed excellent physical stability, photostability, thermal stability and re-dispersibility than Cur-Gli NPs. Furthermore, the bioaccessibility of Cur reached 83.5% after encapsulation of Cur into Gli/TP NPs after in vitro digestion, indicating that Cur-Gli/TP NPs could improve curcumin bioaccessibility significantly. In summary, this study demonstrates that the new food-grade Gli/TP NPs possess high encapsulation efficiency, excellent stability and prominent nutraceutical bioaccessibility. Meanwhile, it contributes to expanding the application of TP in food-grade delivery systems.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to explore the application of propylene glycol alginate (PGA) alone in alcohol-free curcumin-loaded nanoparticles (PGA/Cur) prepared by a pH-driven method to solve the curcumin shortcomings of low water solubility, stability and bioavailability. One of the bright spots of PGA/Cur was its extremely high loading capacity. PGA/Cur formed a spherical structure mainly by hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding, making curcumin amorphous. PGA/Cur exhibited stability at pH 4.0-8.0 due to its high surface charges. PGA/Cur still showed a unimodal size distribution even under 3000 mM ionic strength. Heating caused uneven size distribution, but the smaller size still presented its thermostability. PGA/Cur exhibited good physical stability and slowed down the curcumin degradation with t1/2 of 37.47 days during storage. PGA/Cur could maintain structural integrity in gastric acid and released curcumin in the intestine, thus improving the bioaccessibility of curcumin. Additionally, PGA/Cur displayed the solubilization after lyophilization.

Abstract
As a fat-soluble carotenoid, astaxanthin has excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammation biological activities, but its poor biocompatibility and low stability limit application of astaxanthin in the food industry. In this study, cauliflower-like carriers (CCs) were constructed based on caseinate, chitosan-triphenylphosphonium (TPP) and sodium alginate through an electrostatic self-assembly method to improve the biocompatibility, stability and targeting transport properties of astaxanthin. The smart CCs showed pH-response release and mitochondrial targeted characteristics. In vitro studies demonstrated that the CCs could improve the internalization of astaxanthin, and significantly inhibited the excessive production of reactive oxygen species and the depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential caused by oxidative stress. In vivo studies revealed that the astaxanthin-loaded CCs could effectively relieve the colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate and protect the integrity of the colon tissue structure. The astaxanthin-loaded CCs could significantly inhibit the expression of inflammation factors such as interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha, cyclooxygenase-2, myeloperoxidase, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and nitric oxide. Moreover, the astaxanthin-loaded CCs could maintain the expression of zonula occludens-1, increase the abundance of Firmicutes and Lactobacillaceae in the intestine. In a word, the constructed astaxanthin delivery system provided a potential application for the oral uptake hydrophobic bio-activator in intervention of ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
The poor water solubility, bioavailability and stability of bioactive compounds have become the bottleneck restricting their wide application, thus developing a functional carrier to realize the efficient encapsulation and activity improvement of active hydrophobic substances has become a research hotspot. In this work, a functional glycosylated fish gelatin (called FG-COS conjugates) carrier based on fish gelatin (FG) and chitooligosaccharide (COS) via Maillard reaction was developed. The functional carrier exhibited good antioxidant activity and high encapsulation of curcumin (Cur). Enhanced antioxidant effect of Cur loaded in FG-COS conjugates (called FG–COS–Cur nanoparticles) was achieved, showing remarkable UV protection on Cur and enhanced intracellular antioxidant activity of FG–COS–Cur nanoparticles. Remarkably, FG–COS–Cur nanoparticles increased the cell viability of H2O2-induced oxidative damage Caco-2 cells, drastically reduced the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and significantly increased intracellular antioxidant enzyme activities, which all exhibited a dose-response relationship. These findings suggested that the FG-COS conjugates with intrinsic antioxidant activity could effectively encapsulate Cur and improved bioavailability for hydrophobic active molecules in functional food field. Functional carrier (FG-COS conjugates) based on glycosylation FG with COS was developed. FG-COS conjugates exhibited good antioxidant activity and excellent loading capacity of Cur. FG-COS conjugates showed remarkable UV protection on Cur. FG–COS–Cur nanoparticles displayed a positive effect on the antioxidant of Cur. FG–COS–Cur nanoparticles significantly attenuated oxidative stress damage in Caco-2 cell.
