Evaluating the binding mechanism, structural changes and stability of ternary complexes formed by the interaction of folic acid with whey protein concentrate-80 and L-ascorbyl 6-palmitate. Food Chem 2024; 457:139924. [PMID: 38917563 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139924] [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: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the mechanisms associated with the stabilizing effects of whey protein concentrate-80 (WPC80) and L-ascorbyl 6-palmitate (LAP) on folic acid (FA). Multispectral techniques show that WPC80 binds to FA and LAP mainly through hydrophobic interactions, and that energy is transferred from WPC80 to FA and LAP in a nonradiative form (FA/LAP); The combination of FA/LAP resulted in a change in the conformation and secondary structure content of WPC80, an increase in the absolute zeta potential of the system, and a shift in the particle size distribution towards smaller sizes. The compound system exhibits strengthened antioxidant properties and favorable binding properties. Besides, WPC80 improves the storage stability of FA under different conditions. These results demonstrated that the ternary complex formed by FA co-binding with WPC80 and LAP is an effective way to improve the stability against of FA.

[PMID: 38790672 PMCID: PMC11117734 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13050567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Soy isoflavones (SIF) are bioactive compounds with low bioavailability due to their poor water solubility. In this study, we utilized polymerized goat milk whey protein (PGWP) as a carrier to encapsulate SIF with encapsulation efficiency of 89%, particle size of 135.53 nm, and zeta potential of -35.16 mV. The PGWP-SIF nanoparticles were evaluated for their stability and in vitro digestion properties, and their ability to transport SIF was assessed using a Caco-2 cell monolayer model. The nanoparticles were resistant to aggregation when subjected to pH changes (pH 2.0 to 8.0), sodium chloride addition (0-200 mM), temperature fluctuations (4 °C, 25 °C, and 37 °C), and long-term storage (4 °C, 25 °C, and 37 °C for 30 days), which was mainly attributed to the repulsion generated by steric hindrance effects. During gastric digestion, only 5.93% of encapsulated SIF was released, highlighting the nanoparticles' resistance to enzymatic digestion in the stomach. However, a significant increase in SIF release to 56.61% was observed during intestinal digestion, indicating the efficient transport of SIF into the small intestine for absorption. Cytotoxicity assessments via the MTT assay showed no adverse effects on Caco-2 cell lines after encapsulation. The PGWP-stabilized SIF nanoparticles improved the apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) of Caco-2 cells for SIF by 11.8-fold. The results indicated that using PGWP to encapsulate SIF was an effective approach for delivering SIF, while enhancing its bioavailability and transcellular transport.

Abstract
As an essential nutrient, lutein (LUT) has the ability to aid in the prevention of eye diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. However, the application of LUT is largely restricted by its poor solubility and susceptibility to oxidative degradation. Thus, in this study, LUT-loaded nanogel (OVM-COS-LUT) was prepared by a self-assembly of ovomucin (OVM) and chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) to enhance the effective protection and bioavailability of LUT. The nanogel had excellent dispersion (PDI = 0.25) and an 89.96% LUT encapsulation rate. XRD crystal structure analysis confirmed that the encapsulated LUT maintained an amorphous morphology. In addition, the nanogel showed satisfactory stability with pH levels ranging from 2 to 9 and high ionic strengths (>100 mM). Even under long-term storage, the nanogel maintained an optimistic stabilization and protection capacity; its effective retention rates could reach 96.54%. In vitro, digestion simulation showed that the bioaccessibility and sustained release of OVM-COS-LUT nanogel was superior to that of free LUT. The nanogel provided significant antioxidant activity, and no significant harmful effects were detected in cytotoxicity analyses at higher concentrations. In summary, OVM-COS-LUT can be utilized as a potential safe oral and functional carrier for encapsulating LUT.

Astaxanthin encapsulation in soybean protein isolate-sodium alginate complexes-stabilized nanoemulsions: antioxidant activities, environmental stability, and in vitro digestibility. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:1539-1552. [PMID: 37807825 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nanoemulsions (NEs) have been considered an effective carrier to protect environmentally labile bioactive compounds from degradation during food processing. Among the numerous types of NEs, biopolymer-stabilized NEs have gained much attention to achieve this function because of the extensive sources, biocompatibility, and tunability. Therefore, the antioxidant activities, environmental stability, and in vitro digestibility of astaxanthin (AST)-loaded soybean protein isolate (SPI)-alginate (SA) complexes-stabilized NEs (AST-SPI-SA-NEs) were investigated in this study. RESULTS The AST-SPI-SA-NEs exhibited an encapsulation efficiency of 88.30 ± 1.67%, which is greater than that of the AST-loaded SPI-stabilized NEs (AST-SPI-NEs) (77.31 ± 0.83%). Both AST-SPI-SA-NEs and AST-SPI-NEs exhibited significantly stronger hydroxyl or diphenylpicryl-hydrazyl radical-scavenging activities than the free AST. The formation of SPI-SA complexes strengthened the thermal, light, and storage stability of AST-SPI-SA-NEs with no apparently increasing mean diameter (around 200 nm). AST-SPI-SA-NEs also exhibited a better freeze-thaw dispersibility behavior than AST-SPI-NEs. AST-SPI-SA-NEs were more stable than AST-SPI-NEs were under in vitro gastrointestinal digestion conditions and exhibited a greater bioaccessibility (47.92 ± 0.42%) than both AST-SPI-NEs (12.97 ± 1.33%) and free AST (7.87 ± 0.37%). Hydrogen bonding was confirmed to participate in the formation of AST-SPI-SA-NEs and AST-SPI-NEs based on the molecular docking results. CONCLUSIONS The construction of SPI-SA-NEs is conducive to the encapsulation, protection, and absorption of AST, providing a promising method for broadening the application of AST in processed foods or developing novel ingredients of functional foods. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
This study aims to fabricate zein-based colloidal nanoparticles, which were used to stabilize Pickering emulsions, by conjugation with soybean polysaccharide (SSPS) through the Maillard reaction. The physicochemical properties of the conjugated particles as well as the physical and oxidative stability of the fabricated Pickering emulsion that utilized conjugated colloidal particles with the volumetric ratio of water and oil at 50:50 were investigated. The grafting degree of zein and SSPS was verified through examination of FT-IR and fluorescence. Moreover, the conjugated Zein/SSPS nanoparticles (ZSP) that were prepared after dry heating for 48-72 h exhibit excellent colloidal stability across a range of pH values (4.0-10.0). Further, the wettability of ZSP decreased based on a contact angle analysis of θ~87°. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) images indicated that ZSP particles were located around the oil droplets. Additionally, the ZSP effectively improved the oxidative stability of the Pickering emulsions, as demonstrated by a significant decrease in both peroxide value (PV) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). The results of this study demonstrate that ZSP represents a promising food-grade Pickering emulsifier, capable of not only stabilizing emulsions but also inhibiting their oil oxidation.

Abstract
Maize porous starch-curcumin microspheres were prepared by encapsulating curcumin into cross-linked porous starch and oxidized porous starch to investigate the effect of modified porous starch in embedding and protecting curcumin. The morphology and physicochemical properties of microspheres were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction, Zeta/DLS, Thermal stability, and antioxidant activity; the release of curcumin was evaluated with a simulated gastric-intestine model. The FT-IR results revealed that curcumin was amorphously encapsulated in the composite and hydrogen bond formation between starch and curcumin was one of the major driving forces for encapsulation. Microspheres increased the initial decomposition temperature of curcumin, which has a protective effect on curcumin. Modification improved the encapsulation efficiency and the scavenging free radical ability of porous starch. The release mechanism of curcumin from microspheres fits first-order and Higuchi models well in gastric and intestinal models, respectively, indicating that encapsulation of curcumin within different porous starches microspheres enables controlled release of curcumin. To recapitulate, two different modified porous starch microspheres improved the drug loading, slow release and free radical scavenging effects of curcumin. Among them, the cross-linked porous starch microspheres had higher encapsulation and slow release ability for curcumin than the oxidized porous starch microspheres. It provides theoretical significance and data basis for the encapsulation of active substances by modified porous starch.

Abstract
In this study, we used succinic anhydride (SA) acylation and dextran (DX) glycosylation modified soybean isolate protein (SPI) to develop self-assembled SPI-SA-DX adduct-based nanogels. Degree of modification, SDS-PAGE, and FT-IR studies showed that the amino group of the SPI was replaced by hydrophilic dextran and succinic acid carboxyl groups. Dextran chain and anhydride group attachment to the soybean protein surface enhanced hydrophilicity and spatial site blocking. Modification-induced protein structure unfolding, free sulfhydryl groups to be converted to disulfide bonds, and reduced surface hydrophobicity (H0). H0 was lowest at 33,750 ± 1008.29 when SA content = 10 % protein content (SPI-SA3-DX). The nanometer gel based on SPI-SA3-DX had the maximum turbidity and clear transparent solution without precipitation. Its particle size and polymer dispersibility index (PDI) were also the smallest, with values of (106.87 ± 4.51) nm and 0.21 ± 0.009, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy showed that nanogels had subspherical shell-core structures. Nanogels were stable under different pH, ionic strength, high temperature, and storage conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The application of curcumin (CUR) in the food industry is limited by its instability, hydrophobicity and low bioavailability. Yeast cell protein (YCP) is a by-product of spent brewer's yeast, which has the potential to deliver bioactive substances. However, the environmental stresses such as pH, salt and heat treatment has restricted its application in the food industry. Maillard reaction as a non-enzymatic browning reaction can improve protein stability under environmental stress. RESULTS The CUR was successfully encapsulated into the hydrophobic core of YCP/glycated YCP (GYCP) and enhanced by hydrogen bonding, resulting in static fluorescence quenching of YCP/GYCP. The average diameter and dispersibility of GYPC-CUR nanocomplex were significantly improved after glucose glycation (121.40 nm versus 139.70 nm). Moreover, the encapsulation capacity of CUR was not influenced by glucose glycation. The oxidative stability and bioaccessibility of CUR in nanocomplexes were increased compared with free CUR, especially complexed with GYCP conjugates. CONCLUSION Steric hindrance provided by glucose conjugation improved the enviriomental stability, oxidative activity and bioaccessibility of CUR in nanocomplexes. Thus, glucose-glycated YCP has potential application as a delivery carrier for hydrophobic compounds in functional foods. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The effects of limited hydrolysis following glycosylation with dextran on the structural properties and antioxidant activity of the soybean protein isolate (SPI) were investigated. Three SPI hydrolysate (SPIH) fractions, F30 (>30 kDa), F30-10 (10-30 kDa), and F10 (<10 kDa), were confirmed using gel permeation chromatography. The results demonstrated that the glycosylation of F30 was faster than that of F30-10 or F10. The enzymolysis caused the unfolding of the SPI to expose the internal hydrophobic cores, which was further promoted by the grafting of dextran, making the obtained conjugates have a loose spatial structure, strong molecular flexibility, and enhanced thermal stability. The grafting of dextran significantly enhanced the DPPH radical or •OH scavenging activity and the ferrous reducing power of the SPI or SPIH fractions with different change profiles due to their different molecular structures. The limited enzymolysis following glycosylation was proven to be a promising way to obtain SPI-based food ingredients with enhanced functionalities.

Foods 2022; 11:foods11223703. [PMID: 36429295 PMCID: PMC9688953 DOI: 10.3390/foods11223703] [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: 10/27/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
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
In recent times, nutrition and diet have become prominent health paradigms due to sedentary lifestyle disorders. Preventive health care strategies are becoming increasingly popular instead of treating and managing diseases. A nutraceutical is an innovative concept that offers additional health benefits beyond its fundamental nutritional value. These nutraceuticals have the potential to reduce the exorbitant use of synthetic drugs because the modern medicine approach of treating diseases with high-tech, expensive supplements, and long-term consequences aggravates consumers. However, most nutraceuticals are plant-derived, making them susceptible to degradation and prone to chemical instability, poor solubility, unpleasant taste, and bioactivity loss before absorption to the targeted site. To counteract this problem, the bioavailability of these labile compounds can be maximized by encapsulating them in protective nanocarriers. It is crucial that nanoencapsulation technologies convert bioactive compounds into forms that can be easily combined with functional foods and beverages without adversely affecting their organoleptic properties. In recent years, nanoformulations using food-grade materials, such as polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, etc., have received considerable attention. Among them, microbial polysaccharides are biocompatible, nontoxic, and nonimmunogenic, and most of them are US-FDA approved and can undergo tailored modifications. The nanoformulation of microbial polysaccharide is a relatively new frontier which has several advantages over existing systems. The present article, for the first time, comprehensively reviews microbial polysaccharides-based nanodelivery systems for nutraceuticals and discusses various techno-commercial aspects of these nanotechnological preparations. Moreover, this has also attempted to draw a future research perspective in this area.

Abstract
RES-ALA-CHI colloidal particles were fabricated as CUR-loaded HIPPEs stabilizers. RES-ALA-CHI nanoparticle pronouncedly enhanced the chemical stability of CUR. Lipolysis of HIPPEs can be controlled with RES-ALA-CHI colloidal particles. CUR bioaccessibility can be controlled with RES-ALA-CHI colloidal particles.
The use of antioxidant-loaded protein-polysaccharide nanoparticle in stabilizing and delivering curcumin with high internal phase Pickering emulsions is comparatively scarce. Resveratrol (RES)-loaded α-lactalbumin (ALA)-chitosan (CHI) particles were fabricated and used for curcumin-loaded high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs) stabilization and delivery. CLSM illustrated that RES-ALA-CHI nanoparticles were effectively adsorbed on oil/water (O/W) interface and a gel-like structure was formed surrounding oil droplets. All HIPPEs exhibited excellent physical stability. CUR retention was 75.4 % for HIPPEs with RES-ALA-CHI colloidal particles, which was appreciably higher than that with ALA-CHI colloidal particles (63.9 %) after 30 days storage. Compared to bulk medium-chain triglyceride (MCT), both lipolysis extent and curcumin (CUR) bioaccessibility were pronouncedly enhanced with HIPPEs-based delivery systems. But both HIPPEs (51.4 % and 43.7 %) exhibited lower extent of lipolysis than conventional emulsions (90.4 %). The occurrence of RES significantly restrained the lipolysis. These results demonstrated that HIPPEs could be excellent delivery systems for delivering lipophilic curcumin.

Abstract
Fabricated pea protein isolate (PPI) nanofibrils were used as nanocarriers to encapsulate, stabilize and deliver resveratrol (RES). PPI nanofibrils possessed a dramatically higher surface hydrophobicity than PPI (native), and PPI nanofibrils exhibited nanoscale widths of 10 nm and average lengths of 1.0 μm. Fluorescence analyses demonstrated PPI nanofibrils had high binding constant with RES. Compared with RES (free), the aqueous solubility of RES was improved by approximately 1000-fold with PPI nanofibrils complex. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity assays showed that the antioxidant capacity of RES was pronouncedly enhanced through the nanocomplexation with PPI nanofibrils. RES-PPI nanofibrils complexes exhibited higher antiproliferative activities than RES (free), with the cell viabilities of 52.6% and 38.5% for RES (free) and RES-PPI nanofibrils complex at 20 μg/mL. This study demonstrates that PPI nanofibrils can be utilized as novel nanocarriers for improvements of the water solubility, chemical stability and in vitro biological activities of hydrophobic nutraceuticals.

Abstract
ALA-dextran conjugates were fabricated by Maillard reaction. The conjugates had the high encapsulation efficiency on loading quercetin. The micelles showed excellent pH, ionic strength and photothermal stability. The micelles exhibited sustained release of quercetin by the resistance to enzymes. The excellent stability made the conjugates promising materials for oral delivery.
Glycated protein is a kind of promising material that can improve the bioavailability of bioactive compounds and achieve sustained release under digestion. In this study, the α-lactalbumin (ALA)-dextran conjugates synthesized by Maillard reaction were fabricated to load and protect quercetin. Quercetin-loaded micelles stabilized by the ALA-dextran conjugates 1:4 showed the smallest size (428.57 ± 5.64 nm) with highest encapsulation efficiency (94.38% ± 0.50%) of quercetin. Compared to ALA/dextran mixture complex, the conjugates-based micelles had better pH, ionic strength and photothermal stability. Furthermore, the micelles composed of the conjugates 1:2 and 1:4 showed the best controlled release effect during the simulated digestion, releasing 62.41% and 66.15% of quercetin from the total encapsulated contents, respectively, which was mainly related to the resistance of glycated ALA to the enzymes. The findings indicated that ALA-dextran conjugates could be effectively designed for the ideal delivery system of hydrophobic bioactive compounds in food industry.

Abstract
Enriched products with bioactive compounds (BCs) show the capacity to produce a wide range of possible health effects. Most BCs are essentially hydrophobic and sensitive to environmental factors; so, encapsulation becomes a strategy to solve these problems. Many globular proteins have the intrinsic ability to bind, protect, encapsulate, and introduce BCs into nutraceutical or pharmaceutical matrices. Among them, albumins as human serum albumin (HSA), bovine serum albumin (BSA), ovalbumin (OVA) and α-lactalbumin (ALA) are widely abundant, available, and applied in many industrial sectors, becoming promissory materials to encapsulate BCs. Therefore, this review focuses on researches about the main groups of natural origin BCs (namely phenolic compounds, lipids, vitamins, and carotenoids), the different types of nanostructures based on albumins to encapsulate them and the main fields of application for BCs-loaded albumin systems. In this context, phenolic compounds (catechins, quercetin, and chrysin) are the most extensively BCs studied and encapsulated in albumin-based nanocarriers. Other extensively studied subgroups are stilbenes and curcuminoids. Regarding lipids and vitamins; terpenes, carotenoids (β-carotene), and xanthophylls (astaxanthin) are the most considered. The main application areas of BCs are related to their antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Finally, BSA is the most used albumin to produced BCs-loaded nanocarriers.

Abstract
Due to their combination of featured properties, protein and polysaccharide-based carriers show promising potential in food bioactive ingredient encapsulation, protection, and delivery. The formation of protein–polysaccharide complexes and conjugates involves non-covalent interactions and covalent interaction, respectively. The common types of protein–polysaccharide complex/conjugate-based bioactive ingredient delivery systems include emulsion (conventional emulsion, nanoemulsion, multiple emulsion, multilayered emulsion, and Pickering emulsion), microcapsule, hydrogel, and nanoparticle-based delivery systems. This review highlights the applications of protein–polysaccharide-based delivery vehicles in common bioactive ingredients including polyphenols, food proteins, bioactive peptides, carotenoids, vitamins, and minerals. The loaded food bioactive ingredients exhibited enhanced physicochemical stability, bioaccessibility, and sustained release in simulated gastrointestinal digestion. However, limited research has been conducted in determining the in vivo oral bioavailability of encapsulated bioactive compounds. An in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion model incorporating gut microbiota and a mucus layer is suggested for future studies.

Abstract
Glucosamine-glycosylated zein (GLZ) generated by transglutaminase was developed as a novel delivery vehicle to prepare lutein-loaded glycosylated zein nanoparticles (GLZ-LUT). GLZ-LUT exhibited a polydispersed spherical microstructure, lutein was embedded into GLZ to form nanocomplexes via self-assembly, they had a lower zeta potential and an average particle size of less than 200 nm. Compared to lutein-loaded zein nanoparticles (Zein-LUT), the lutein entrapment efficiency of GLZ-LUT was increased from 81.55% to 89.60%. Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis results confirmed that zein was successfully modified and that lutein was encapsulated by hydrophobic zein and GLZ. Moreover, GLZ showed significantly higher solubilization of lutein than Zein-LUT and significantly improved the in vitro release of lutein in the simulated gastrointestinal tract. The in vitro antioxidant activity of lutein was also enhanced by the encapsulation of zein and glycosylated zein. These findings indicated that GLZ represent a potentially efficient and promising nanodelivery carrier for lutein compounds.

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
The improved understanding of the connection between diet and health has led to growing interest in the development of functional foods designed to improve health and wellbeing. Many of the potentially health-promoting bioactive ingredients that food manufacturers would like to incorporate into these products are difficult to utilize because of their chemical instability, poor solubility, or low bioavailability. For this reason, nano-based delivery systems are being developed to overcome these problems. Food proteins possess many functional attributes that make them suitable for formulating various kinds of nanocarriers, including their surface activity, water binding, structuring, emulsification, gelation, and foaming, as well as their nutritional aspects. Proteins-based nanocarriers are therefore useful for introducing bioactive ingredients into functional foods, especially for their targeted delivery in specific applications.This review focusses on the preparation, properties, and applications of protein-based nanocarriers, such as nanoparticles, micelles, nanocages, nanoemulsions, and nanogels. In particular, we focus on the development and application of stimulus-responsive protein-based nanocarriers, which can be used to release bioactive ingredients in response to specific environmental triggers. Finally, we discuss the potential and future challenges in the design and application of these protein-based nanocarriers in the food industry.

Abstract
Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is a spice utilized widely in India, China, and Southeast Asia as an aromatic stimulant, a food preservative, and coloring material. The commonly used names of turmeric are castor saffron, turmeric, and saffron root. Turmeric is a yellow-orange polyphenolic natural substance derived from C. longa rhizomes. It has been used to treat common inflammatory diseases, tumors, biliary diseases, anorexia, cough, topical wounds, diabetic injuries, liver disorders, rheumatism, and sinusitis. Extensive studies on the biological properties and pharmacological consequences of turmeric extracts have been conducted in recent years. Curcumin, the primary yellow biocomponent of turmeric, has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antiprotozoal, antiviral, antifibrotic, immunomodulatory, and antifungal properties. Defense assessment tests showed that curcumin is tolerated well at high doses, without adverse effects. Thus, curcumin is a highly active biological material with the potential to treat different diseases in modern medicine. This review article focuses on curcumin's biological characteristics. The most popular methods for curcumin encapsulation are also discussed. Several effective techniques and approaches have been proposed for curcuminoid capsulation, including nanocomplexing, gelation, complex coacervation, electrospraying, and solvent-free pH-driven encapsulation. This review also highlights curcumin's chemical properties, allowing the readers to expand their perspectives on its use in the development of functional products with health-promoting properties. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Consumer awareness of the relationship between health and nutrition has caused a substantial increase in the demand for nutraceuticals and functional foods containing bioactive compounds (BACs) with potential health benefits. However, the direct incorporation of many BACs into commercial food and beverage products is challenging because of their poor matrix compatibility, chemical instability, low bioavailability, or adverse impact on food quality. Advanced encapsulation technologies are therefore being employed to overcome these problems. In this article, we focus on the utilization of plant and animal derived proteins to fabricate micro and nano-particles that can be used for the oral delivery of BACs such as omega-3 oils, vitamins and nutraceuticals. This review comprehensively discusses different methods being implemented for fabrications of protein-based delivery vehicles, types of proteins used, and their compatibility for the purpose. Finally, some of the challenges and limitations of different protein matrices for encapsulation of BACs are deliberated upon. Various approaches have been developed for the fabrication of protein-based microparticles and nanoparticles, including injection-gelation, controlled denaturation, and antisolvent precipitation methods. These methods can be used to construct particle-based delivery systems with different compositions, sizes, surface hydrophobicity, and electrical characteristics, thereby enabling them to be used in a wide range of applications.

Improving Physicochemical Stability of Quercetin-Loaded Hollow Zein Particles with Chitosan/Pectin Complex Coating. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10091476.

Abstract
Hollow nanoparticles are preferred over solid ones for their high loading capabilities, sustained release and low density. Hollow zein particles are susceptible to aggregation with a slight variation in the ionic strength, pH and temperature of the medium. This study was aimed to fabricate quercetin-loaded hollow zein particles with chitosan and pectin coating to improve their physicochemical stability. Quercetin as a model flavonoid had a loading efficiency and capacity of about 86–94% and 2.22–5.89%, respectively. Infrared and X-ray diffraction investigations revealed the interaction of quercetin with zein and the change in its physical state from crystalline to amorphous upon incorporation in the composite particles. The chitosan/pectin coating improved the stability of quercetin-loaded hollow zein particles against heat treatment, sodium chloride and in a wide range of pH. The complex coating protected quercetin that was encapsulated in hollow zein particles from free radicals in the aqueous medium and enhanced its DPPH radical scavenging ability. The entrapment of quercetin in the particles improved its storage and photochemical stability. The storage stability of entrapped quercetin was enhanced both at 25 and 45 °C in hollow zein particles coated with chitosan and pectin. Therefore, composite hollow zein particles fabricated with a combination of polysaccharides can expand their role in the encapsulation, protection and delivery of bioactive components.

Abstract
In this study, novel self-assembled protein-clay nanocomposites were developed for curcumin delivery. Experimentally, curcumin was dissolved and deprotonated in sodium caseinate-laponite® (NaCas-LAP) dispersion at pH 12.0 for 30 min followed by neutralization to pH = 7. Due to the pH-mediated dissociation and re-association process, curcumin was successfully encapsulated into NaCas-LAP nanocomposites. The colloidal properties and encapsulation capabilities of NaCas-LAP nanocomposites were investigated, including particle size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, release profile in simulated gastrointestinal tract, as well as nanoscale morphology. The results indicated that upon neutralization, NaCas-LAP nanocomposites were re-associated into smaller particles due to strong hydrophobic interactions among NaCas, LAP and curcumin. Specifically, 0.10% curcumin loaded nanocomposites prepared with 2% NaCas and 0.5% LAP showed improved encapsulation performance (73.4%) with smaller particle size (100 nm). The as-prepared protein-clay nanocomposites hold promising potential to deliver lipophilic bioactive compounds, such as curcumin.

Abstract
This study examined the effects of different sequential treatments of dextran glycation and succinic anhydride acylation on the structure and physicochemical properties of soy protein isolate (SPI). The tested properties included electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, endogenous fluorescence spectroscopy, surface hydrophobicity (H0 ), free sulfhydryl (-SH), solubility, interfacial properties, rheological properties, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the two treatments significantly improved the structure and functional characteristics of the SPI. The order of the methods had an important effect on the SPI. The lowest H0 (231.76 ± 11.92), the highest free -SH content (3.09 ± 0.09 µmol/g), and the highest solubility at pH = 7 (77 ± 3.97%) were obtained when the acylation treatment was followed by the glycation treatment. Emulsification, emulsion stability, foaming, and foam stability were also the highest. Glycation and acylation caused the viscosity coefficient (k) of the SPI solution to decrease compared with SPI alone, but the flow index (n) value increased, and the sum G' value of the conjugate system decreased as gel time increased. SEM showed that its microstructure has changed significantly. Therefore, this research provided an effective method for improving the functional characteristics of SPI and had potential industrial application prospects. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Glycation and acylation of soybean protein isolate improved the chemical modification method of protein, improved the functional properties of soybean protein, widened its application in food and materials, and provided a new idea for the further development and utilization of soybean protein.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR) is a phenolic compound present in some herbs, including Curcuma longa Linn. (turmeric rhizome), with a high bioactive capacity and characteristic yellow color. It is mainly used as a spice, although it has been found that CUR has interesting pharmaceutical properties, acting as a natural antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antitumoral agent. Nonetheless, CUR is a hydrophobic compound with low water solubility, poor chemical stability, and fast metabolism, limiting its use as a pharmacological compound. Smart drug delivery systems (DDS) have been used to overcome its low bioavailability and improve its stability. The current work overviews the literature from the past 10 years on the encapsulation of CUR in nanostructured systems, such as micelles, liposomes, niosomes, nanoemulsions, hydrogels, and nanocomplexes, emphasizing its use and ability in cancer therapy. The studies highlighted in this review have shown that these nanoformulations achieved higher solubility, improved tumor cytotoxicity, prolonged CUR release, and reduced side effects, among other interesting advantages.

Abstract
Radix Pseudostellariae protein (RPP) with satisfactory antioxidant activity and self-assembled ability was extracted from dried Radix Pseudostellariae. In this study, RPP-curcumin nanocomplex (RPP-Cur) was fabricated, and its improvement on the stability, cellular uptake and antioxidant activity of curcumin was investigated. RPP-Cur with homogeneously spherical structure exhibited good stability, which could maintain the morphology against simulated gastrointestinal digestion and up to 300 mM ionic concentration. After RPP nanoparticles encapsulation, the retention of curcumin increased 1.45 times under UV irradiation for 6 h. Besides, RPP-Cur exhibited additive reducing power of curcumin and RPP. The transport efficiency of hydrophobic curcumin across Caco-2 cells monolayer was greatly improved by RPP nanoparticle by 3.7 folds. RPP-Cur was able to be internalized by Caco-2 cells dose-dependently via macropinocytosis and clathrin-mediated endocytosis. The cellular uptake efficiency of embedded curcumin in RPP nanoparticles by Caco-2 cells was significantly higher than that of free curcumin, which might contribute to the enhanced intracellular antioxidant activity of RPP-Cur. These findings suggest that the proteins from Radix Pseudostellariae have potential to be developed into novel delivery system with intrinsic antioxidant activity for the hydrophobic active molecules in healthy food field.

Abstract
In this research, first, the effects of two desolvating agents (ethanol and methanol) at three temperature values (4, 25, and 50 °C) on the fabrication of sunflower protein isolate (SnPI) nanoparticles were studied using a desolvation method. Second, the ability of the nanoparticles to encapsulate curcumin was investigated. Results showed that ethanol led to smaller nanoparticles compared to methanol as the desolvating agent at 4 and 50 °C. However, at 25 °C, ethanol formed the most uniform nanoparticles with the lowest polydispersity index (0.188 ± 0.091) and particle size of 174.64 ± 30.61 nm. The encapsulation efficiency was in the range of 39.1 to 95.4% according to the fabrication condition and curcumin-to-protein mass ratio. A biphasic trend of curcumin release from nanoparticles was observed; in which, over 50% of curcumin was released from the curcumin-loaded nanoparticles in the first 2 h, which is attributed to the burst effect of the protein matrix.

Abstract
The present study aimed to fabricate whey protein isolate (WPI)-sodium alginate (ALG) nanocomplexes for curcumin (CUR) stabilization in a model fat-free beverage. Mass ratio of 5:1 at pH 5.0 in the absence of NaCl was optimized for WPI-ALG nanocomplex fabrication. Mean particle size and zeta-potential of CUR-WPI-ALG nanocomplex was 209.9 nm and -39.1 mV at pH 5.0, respectively. Highest loading amount (LA) of CUR in CUR-WPI-ALG nanocomplex were 15.26 μg/mg. No obvious precipitates were observed for CUR-WPI-ALG nanocomplex under simulated food processing and storage conditions including high sucrose, high NaCl, and thermal treatment at 90 °C for 2 h. Fluorescence results confirmed that the spontaneous interaction between CUR and WPI-ALG nanocomplex was primarily motivated by hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding. Compared with CUR (free), chemical stability (UV light, and heat), and DPPH scavenging capacities of CUR in CUR-WPI-ALG nanocomplex were strikingly improved.

Abstract
Curcumin (Cur) has many functions, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. However, its poor solubility and thermal stability at aqueous solutions limit its application in the food industry. In this study, egg white protein isolate (EPI) was complexed with Cur via a pH-shifting method. The effects of ultimate pH (from 5.0 to 7.0) on the physicochemical properties of the complex were studied. Cur could reach 84.4% encapsulation efficiency at pH 6.0. Meanwhile, the EPI complex could remain stable at pH 7.0 after 30 days and protect Cur from thermal degradation, thereby improving the Cur retention rate with the increasing ultimate pH. Compared with those of EPI and free Cur, the antioxidant capacity of the complex was enhanced effectively. The EPI-Cur complex was certified using UV-vis and fluorescence spectra. The fluorescence results indicated that Cur and EPI are combined through a static quenching and with a strong affinity of 1.8 × 105 M-1 at pH 6.0. In summary, this work provides a biocompatible and straightforward method for the development of nanoparticles based on egg white protein isolates, which can be used as a promising carrier for insoluble nutritional compounds.

Preparation, characterization, and antioxidant activity of zein nanoparticles stabilized by whey protein nanofibrils. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 167:862-870. [PMID: 33181219 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.11.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2020] [Revised: 11/05/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
The application of natural biopolymers to develop colloidal carriers for delivering hydrophobic bioactive molecules has become one of the hottest topics in food science. In this study, a simple pH-driven method to prepare whey protein nanofibrils stabilized zein nanoparticles was developed. The formation, structure, intermolecular interactions, rheological properties, in vitro digestion, and antioxidant activity of the nanoparticles were investigated. When the mass ratio of zein and whey protein nanofibrils was 1:0.8, the hydrodynamic diameter and zeta potential of the nanoparticles were 413 nm and - 25 mV, respectively. Transmission electron microscope photographs showed that the nanoparticles were a spherical core-shell structure. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and surface hydrophobicity measurements indicated that whey protein nanofibrils adsorbed to the surface of zein aggregates through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Differential scanning calorimetry tests confirmed the formation of nanoparticles improved the thermal stability of zein and whey protein nanofibrils. The nanoparticles exhibited less shear-thinning behavior with low apparent viscosity, and it can't be degraded in simulated gastric fluid but can be in simulated intestinal fluid. The antioxidant activity of the nanoparticles was increased by in vitro antioxidant assay when compared to whey protein nanofibrils. This new technology to develop zein-whey protein nanoparticles may be used for preparing nanoparticles of other similar hydrophobic food ingredients. And the findings of this study may provide a theoretical basis for preparation of nanoparticles as a nutrient delivery system.

Abstract
Curcumin is one of the most common spices worldwide. It has potential benefits, but its poor solubility and bioavailability have restricted its application. To overcome these problems, this study aimed to assess the efficacy of sodium caseinate (SC), α-lactalbumin (α-La), β-lactoglobulin (β-lg), whey protein concentrate (WPC) and whey protein isolate (WPI) as nanocarriers of curcumin. Furthermore, the antioxidant, anticancer and antimicrobial activities of the formed nanoparticles were examined. The physicochemical characteristics of the formed nanoparticles as well as the entrapment efficiency (%) and the in vitro behavior regarding the release of curcumin (%) were examined. The results showed that the formation of curcumin–milk protein nanoparticles enhanced both the entrapment efficiency and the in vitro behavior release of curcumin (%). Cur/β-lg nanoparticles had the highest antioxidant activity, while SC and WPC nanoparticles had the highest anticancer effect. The antimicrobial activity of the formed nanoparticles was much higher compared to curcumin and the native milk proteins.
