[PMID: 39126939 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140792] [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: 06/04/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
The low bioavailability of polyphenolic compounds due to poor solubility and stability is a major challenge. Encapsulation of polyphenols in zein-based composite nanoparticles can improve the water dispersion, stability, targeted delivery, and controlled release of polyphenols in the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we investigated the fluorescence properties, bioactivity, and microstructural characteristics of polyphenols during digestion, revealing that zein nanoparticles protect polyphenols from gastric degradation and promote their sustained release in the small intestine. The effects of different ionic species and salt ion concentrations on the digestive properties of polyphenol complex delivery systems have also been explored. In addition, the formation of "protein corona" structures during digestion may affect bioavailability. These findings highlight the potential of nanoparticle formulations to improve polyphenol stability and absorption. The results of this study may provide new insights and references for the study of polyphenol bioavailability enhancement.

Abstract
Tanshinone compounds, natural antioxidants found in the roots of Salvia subg Perovskia plants, offer various health benefits and can serve as natural food additives, replacing synthetic antioxidants. In this study, the nanoparticles were created using the antisolvent method, which were then evaluated for their antioxidant and antibacterial properties, as well as their ability to release tanshinone and withstand environmental stress. The results of the study demonstrated a significant improvement in the antioxidant capabilities of tanshinone with the nanoparticle coating. The T/Z/P NPs exhibited enhanced tanshinone release under simulated gastrointestinal conditions compared to T/Z nanoparticles. These nanoparticles displayed remarkable stability against fluctuations in environmental pH and thermal conditions. The study also revealed that the critical flocculation concentration of the system was 0.5 M of salt. Furthermore, the T/Z/P NPs showed good stability during storage at 4°C for 30 days, making them an excellent candidate for use in various food products.

Abstract
Core-shell structures exhibit a number of distinct absorptive properties that make them attractive tools for use in a range of industrial contexts including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, cosmetics, and food/agriculture. Several recent studies have focused on the development and fabrication of zein-based core-shell structures for a range of functional material deliveries. However, no recent review article has evaluated the fabrication of such core-shell structures for food-based applications. In this paper, we therefore survey current approaches to fabricating different zein-based platforms including particles, fibers, films, and hydrogels that have appeared in a variety of functionally relevant applications. In addition, we highlight certain challenges and future research directions in this field, thereby providing a novel perspective on zein-based core-shell structures.

Abstract
This study investigates the potential of κ-carrageenan hydrogel beads as a delivery system for curcumin, a bioactive compound with various health benefits. Hydrogel beads were prepared using the extrusion technique with a hypodermic needle. The encapsulation efficiency of curcumin in the κ-carrageenan hydrogel beads was found to be 74.61 ± 3.2 %. FTIR spectroscopy analysis revealed shifts in absorption peaks, indicating possible hydrogen bonding and/or ionic interactions between the polymer and salt. An increase in the melting point of curcumin, by 25 °C, in curcumin- κ-carrageenan beads suggests the heat protection offered by the carrageenan chains to curcumin molecules. The in vitro release of curcumin from the beads suggests a sustained and pH-dependent release nature. The release kinetics follow the first order and the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. The outcome offers value-added delivery systems of bioactive compounds toward developing novel food and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Zein has gained popularity over the past few years as an incredible food and bio-based materials. The potential functions and health benefits of zein microcapsules or micro-/nanoparticles in bioactive components delivery, structured emulsion, etc., have received great attention. However, the development has been limited by colloidal destabilization, especially when thermal processing is involved. There is a recent trend in developing zein-polysaccharide complexes (ZPCs), which has tremendously improved the performance of zein-based colloidal carrier systems or emulsions. Increasing our understanding of zein interactions and their contribution to the structure of various macromolecules can help us to develop novel biomaterials that can be used in food, agriculture, biomedicine, and cosmetics. In addition, these nanocarriers are suitable for the encapsulation and delivery of bioactive compounds which have positive perspective in food industry. Therefore, this article aimed to review recent advances in the ZPCs that can be applied to functional or health-promoting foods, with a focus on the characteristics of different ZPCs, factors and mechanisms affecting the stability (especially thermal stability) of these complexes, and their application in food industry as a carrier for BCs. Further, the stability of ZPCs based emulsions under processing and physiological environments, as well some typical effective methods are introduced. Also, the principal challenges and prospects were enumerated and discussed.

Abstract
In this study, composite nanoparticles consisting of zein and hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin were prepared using a combined antisolvent co-precipitation/electrostatic interaction method. The effects of calcium ion concentration on the stability of the composite nanoparticles containing both curcumin and quercetin were investigated. Moreover, the stability and bioactivity of the quercetin and curcumin were characterized before and after encapsulation. Fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions were the main driving forces for the formation of the composite nanoparticles. The addition of calcium ions promoted crosslinking of the proteins and affected the stability of the protein-cyclodextrin composite particles through electrostatic screening and binding effects. The addition of calcium ions to the composite particles improved the encapsulation efficiency, antioxidant activity, and stability of the curcumin and quercetin. However, there was an optimum calcium ion concentration (2.0 mM) that provided the best encapsulation and protective effects on the nutraceuticals. The calcium crosslinked composite particles were shown to maintain good stability under different pH and simulated gastrointestinal digestion conditions. These results suggest that zein-cyclodextrin composite nanoparticles may be useful plant-based colloidal delivery systems for hydrophobic bio-active agents.

Abstract
The poor solubility, instability and low absorption rate obstruct the bioavailability of polyphenols isolated from Malus baccata (MBP) during gastrointestinal digestion. In order to solve the limitable problems, the food-grade nanoparticles were fabricated by mucin (MC) and Hohenbuehelia serotina polysaccharides (HSP) for delivery of MBP (MBP-NPs). The physicochemical properties and morphology of MBP-NPs prepared by different condition were respectively characterized. During gastrointestinal digestion in vitro, the release characteristic and variation in phenolic composition of MBP-NPs were evaluated. The results showed that MBP-NPs formed by hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction possessed the regularly spherical shapes and smooth surfaces and semi-crystalline properties. Moreover, MBP-NPs presented the excellent physicochemical stability. During simulated gastrointestinal digestion in vitro, MBP-NPs exhibited the sustained release characteristics of phenolic compounds, which were confirmed by SDS-PAGE measurement. Compared with that of unencapsulated MBP, the significant variation was occurred in the phenolic composition of MBP-NPs, indicating that MBP-NPs could prevent the degradation and transformation of phenolic compounds. This study provides a novel strategy to improve the bioavailability of polyphenols.

Abstract
Food hydrogels are biopolymeric materials made from food-grade biopolymers with gelling properties (proteins and polysaccharides) and a 3D network capable of incorporating large amounts of water. They have sparked considerable interest because of their potential and broad application range in the biomedical and pharmaceutical sectors. However, hydrogel research in the field of food science is still limited. This knowledge gap provides numerous opportunities for implementing their unique properties, such as high water-holding capacity, moderated texture, compatibility with other substances, cell biocompatibility, biodegradability, and high resemblance to living tissues, for the development of novel, functional food matrices. For that reason, this article includes a bibliometric analysis characterizing research trends in food protein-polysaccharide hydrogels (over the last ten years). Additionally, it characterizes the most recent developments in hydrogel induction methods and the most recent application progress of hydrogels as food matrices as carriers for the targeted delivery of bioactive compounds. Finally, this article provides a future perspective on the need to evaluate the feasibility of using plant-based proteins and polysaccharides to develop food matrices that protect nutrients, including bioactive substances, throughout processing, storage, and digestion until they reach the specific targeted area of the digestive system.

Abstract
The accumulation and sustained release of drugs in the colonic inflammatory region are the favorable strategy for treating ulcerative colitis (UC). In this study, we developed a synergistic anti-inflammatory drug (quercetin/EGCG)-loaded micelle using hydrolytic quinoa protein (HQP) and cationic lotus root starch (CLRS) by a layer-by-layer assembly method. The encapsulation efficiency of quercetin and EGCG in the Que-HQP-EGCG-CLRS micelles reached 91.5 and 89.4%, respectively. This composite micelle exhibited a core-shell structure, where Que-HQP-EGCG was the core and CLRS was the coating shell. Moreover, the in vitro experiments indicated that these micelles can make Que/EGCG pass through gastric environments stably and delay their release in the intestine. Animal experiments further confirmed that the Que-HQP-EGCG-CLRS micelles can efficiently accumulate in the colonic inflammatory region and enable sustained release of drugs (more than 24 h), thus notably alleviating the symptoms of UC. These results suggested that Que-HQP-EGCG-CLRS micelles have good gastric stability, colonic inflammatory-accumulated effect, and sustained drug release ability, which are a promising co-delivery system for UC treatment.

Abstract
Fucoxanthin (FUC) is a hydrophobic carotenoid that has a protective effect on the colon. To exert the beneficial effects of FUC in the colon and expand its application in functional food, FUC was encapsulated in carboxymethyl konjac glucomannan (CMKGM)-coated gliadin nanoparticles (Gli-CMKGM NPs) in this paper. Gli-CMKGM NPs were prepared at pH 5.0 with Gli/CMKGM mass ratio of 1:1. The formation of Gli-CMKGM NPs was associated with hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions and electrostatic attractions. Additionally, Gli-CMKGM NPs exhibited good stability to pH, salt, heating and storage. The results showed that FUC had been successfully encapsulated in Gli-CMKGM NPs, and the encapsulation efficiency of FUC-Gli-CMKGM NPs was significantly higher than that of uncoated FUC-Gli NPs. FUC-Gli-CMKGM NPs had a nano-spherical structure, and embedded FUC in Gli-CMKGM NPs improved their stabilities to photodegradation and thermal degradation. Furthermore, in vitro release and in vivo organ distribution studies showed that FUC-Gli-CMKGM NPs had an excellent colon targeting function. Overall, our findings illustrated the promise of CMKGM-coated Gli NPs for constructing targeted delivery systems for FUC.

Foods 2022; 11:3478. [PMID: 36360091 PMCID: PMC9656218 DOI: 10.3390/foods11213478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Revised: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Hydrophilic tannic acid and hydrophobic resveratrol were successfully co-encapsulated in zein nanoparticles prepared using antisolvent precipitation and then coated with pectin by electrostatic deposition. The encapsulation efficiencies of the tannic acid and resveratrol were 51.5 ± 1.9% and 77.2 ± 3.2%, respectively. The co-encapsulated nanoparticles were stable against aggregation at the investigated pH range of 2.0 to 8.0 when heated at 80 °C for 2 h and when the NaCl concentration was below 50 mM. The co-encapsulated tannic acid and resveratrol exhibited stronger in vitro antioxidant activity than ascorbic acid, as determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical (DPPH·) and 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylberizothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical cation (ABTS+·) scavenging assays. The polyphenols-loaded nanoparticles significantly decreased the malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration and increased the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities in peroxide-treated human hepatoma cells (HepG2). An in vitro digestion model was used to study the gastrointestinal fate of the nanoparticles. In the stomach, encapsulation inhibited tannic acid release, but promoted resveratrol release. However, in the small intestine, it led to a relatively high bioaccessibility of 76% and 100% for resveratrol and tannic acid, respectively. These results suggest that pectin-coated zein nanoparticles have the potential for the co-encapsulation of both polar and nonpolar nutraceuticals or drugs.

Abstract
Many proteins can be used to fabricate nanocarriers for encapsulation, protection, and controlled release of nutraceuticals. This review examined the protein-based nanocarriers from microscopic molecular characteristics to the macroscopical structural and functional attributes. Structural, physical, and chemical properties of protein-based nanocarriers were introduced in detail. The spatial size, shape, water dispersibility, colloidal stability, etc. of protein-based nanocarriers were largely determined by the molecular physicochemical principles of protein. Different preparative techniques, including antisolvent precipitation, pH-driven, electrospray, and gelation methods, among others, can be used to fabricate different protein-based nanocarriers. Various modifications based on physical, chemical, and enzymatic approaches can be used to improve the functional performance of these nanocarriers. Protein is a natural resource with a wide range of sources, including plant, animal, and microbial, which are usually used to fabricate the nanocarriers. Protein-based nanocarriers have many advantages in aid of the application of bioactive ingredients to the medical, food, and cosmetic industries.

An Update on Advancements and Challenges in Inhalational Drug Delivery for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27113490.

Abstract
A lethal condition at the arterial–alveolar juncture caused the exhaustive remodeling of pulmonary arterioles and persistent vasoconstriction, followed by a cumulative augmentation of resistance at the pulmonary vascular and, consequently, right-heart collapse. The selective dilation of the pulmonary endothelium and remodeled vasculature can be achieved by using targeted drug delivery in PAH. Although 12 therapeutics were approved by the FDA for PAH, because of traditional non-specific targeting, they suffered from inconsistent drug release. Despite available inhalation delivery platforms, drug particle deposition into the microenvironment of the pulmonary vasculature and the consequent efficacy of molecules are influenced by pathophysiological conditions, the characteristics of aerosolized mist, and formulations. Uncertainty exists in peripheral hemodynamics outside the pulmonary vasculature and extra-pulmonary side effects, which may be further exacerbated by underlying disease states. The speedy improvement of arterial pressure is possible via the inhalation route because it has direct access to pulmonary arterioles. Additionally, closed particle deposition and accumulation in diseased tissues benefit the restoration of remolded arterioles by reducing fallacious drug deposition in other organs. This review is designed to decipher the pathological changes that should be taken into account when targeting the underlying pulmonary endothelial vasculature, especially with regard to inhaled particle deposition in the alveolar vasculature and characteristic formulations.

Abstract
Zein-based nanoparticles loaded with bioactive compounds have positive prospects in the food industry, but an important limiting factor for development is colloidal instability. Currently, extensive researches are focused on solving the instability of zein nanoparticles, but since the beginning of the studies, there has not been a summary of the factors affecting the stability of zein-based nanoparticles. In the present work, the factors were reviewed comprehensively from the perspective of carrier construction and application evaluation. The former mainly includes type, quantity, and characteristics of biopolymer, the mass ratio of biopolymer/bioactive compound to zein, blending sequence of biopolymer, and location of encapsulated bioactive compounds. The latter mainly includes pH, heating, ionic strength, storage, freeze-drying, and gastrointestinal digestion. The former is the prerequisite for the success of the latter. The challenge is that stability research is limited to the laboratory level, and it is difficult to ensure that the stability results are suitable for commercial food matrices due to their complexity. At the laboratory level, the future trends are the influence of external energy and the cross-complexity and uniformity of stability research. The review is expected to provide systematic understanding and guidance for the development of zein-based nanoparticles stability.

Abstract
Herein, we report the construction and characterization of nanoparticles based on bovine serum albumin and Hohenbuehelia serotina polysaccharides for the delivery of polyphenols isolated from the shells of Juglans regia L. (BSA-JRP-HSP NPs). We also systematically investigated their gastrointestinal digestion and colonic fermentation characteristics in vitro. BSA-JRP-HSP NPs, with amorphous properties and regular spherical morphological features, have a high encapsulation efficiency of 88.47 ± 0.04%, average particle size of 285.7 ± 3.1 nm, and zeta potential of -12.20 ± 0.61 mV, and they exhibit excellent photothermal stabilities and strong mucin adhesion capacity. Through measurements of gastrointestinal digestion and colonic fermentation in vitro, the results suggest that BSA-JRP-HSP NPs presented well-sustained release characteristics for preventing the biodegradation of JRP during gastrointestinal digestion. After gastrointestinal digestion, BSA-JRP-HSP NPs could modulate the composition and structure of gut microbiota, promoting the growth of beneficial bacterial (e.g. Prevotella, Dialister, Akkermansia, etc.) and inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria (e.g. Bacteroides, Phascolarctobacterium, Lachnospiracea incertae sedis, etc.). The production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) including acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid was remarkably enhanced by treatment with BSA-JRP-HSP NPs. This study has proved that BSA-JRP-HSP NPs can serve as a novel candidate for improving the bioavailability of JRP.

Abstract
Plant-derived proteins have emerged as leading candidates in several drug and food delivery applications in diverse pharmaceutical designs. Zein is considered one of the primary plant proteins obtained from maize, and is well known for its biocompatibility and safety in biomedical fields. The ability of zein to carry various pharmaceutically active substances (PAS) position it as a valuable contender for several in vitro and in vivo applications. The unique structure and possibility of surface covering with distinct coating shells or even surface chemical modifications have enabled zein utilization in active targeted and site-specific drug delivery. This work summarizes up-to-date studies on zein formulation technology based on its structural features. Additionally, the multiple applications of zein, including drug delivery, cellular imaging, and tissue engineering, are discussed with a focus on zein-based active targeted delivery systems and antigenic response to its potential in vivo applicability.

Abstract
Some bioactive ingredients in foods are unstable and easily degraded during processing, storage, transportation and digestion. To enhance the stability and bioavailability, some food hydrogels have been developed to encapsulate these unstable compounds. In this paper, the preparation methods, formation mechanisms, physicochemical and functional properties of some protein hydrogels, polysaccharide hydrogels and protein-polysaccharide composite hydrogels were comprehensively summarized. Since the hydrogels have the ability to control the release and enhance the bioavailability of bioactive ingredients, the encapsulation and release mechanisms of polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids, vitamins and probiotics by hydrogels were further discussed. This review will provide a comprehensive reference for the deep application of polysaccharide/protein hydrogels in food industry.

Abstract
Piperine (PIP) is an alkaloid present in several species of piper, mainly Piper nigrum Linn. and P. longum, among other species. The present article provides a comprehensive review of PIP research in the last years concerning its chemical properties, synthesis, absorption, metabolism, bioavailability and toxicity. The reviewed PIP literature has shown many pharmacological properties, such as antidiabetic, antidiarrheal, antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-parasitic activity of PIP. However, its low solubility and absorption make its application challenging. This review also includes advances in the development of nanosystems containing PIP, including liposomes, micelles, metal nanoparticles, nanofibers, polymeric nanoparticles, and solid-lipid nanoparticles. Finally, we discuss different in vitro and in vivo studies to evaluate the biological activity of this drug, as well as some methods for the synthesis of nanosystems and their physical characteristics.

Abstract
Prolamins are a group of safe food additives that are biocompatible, biodegradable, and sustainable. Zein, gliadin, kafirin, and hordein are common prolamins that have been extensively studied, particularly as these form colloidal particles because of their amphiphilic properties. Prolamin-based binary/ternary complexes, which have stable physicochemical properties and superior functionality, are formed by combining prolamins with polysaccharides, polyphenols, water-soluble proteins, and surfactants. Although the combination of prolamins with other components has received attention, the relationship between the structural design of prolamin-based complexes and their functionalities remains uncertain. This review discusses the production methods of prolamin-based complexes, the factors influencing their structural characteristics, and their applications in the food industry. Further studies are needed to elucidate the structure-function relationships between prolamins and other biopolymers, as well as the toxicological effects of these complexes in food.

Abstract
Nutraceuticals are defined as foods or their extracts that have a demonstrably positive effect on human health. According to the decision of the European Food Safety Authority, this positive effect, the so-called health claim, must be clearly demonstrated best by performed tests. Nutraceuticals include dietary supplements and functional foods. These special foods thus affect human health and can positively affect the immune system and strengthen it even in these turbulent times, when the human population is exposed to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these special foods are supplemented with nanoparticles of active substances or processed into nanoformulations. The benefits of nanoparticles in this case include enhanced bioavailability, controlled release, and increased stability. Lipid-based delivery systems and the encapsulation of nutraceuticals are mainly used for the enrichment of food products with these health-promoting compounds. This contribution summarizes the current state of the research and development of effective nanonutraceuticals influencing the body's immune responses, such as vitamins (C, D, E, B12, folic acid), minerals (Zn, Fe, Se), antioxidants (carotenoids, coenzyme Q10, polyphenols, curcumin), omega-3 fatty acids, and probiotics.

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2020; 68:11802-11809.

Abstract
Antisolvent precipitation is a widely used method to fabricate prolamin-based composites. In the present study, composite structures of lysozyme amyloid fibrils with zein proteins were fabricated using the antisolvent precipitation method by applying different blending and pH adjustment sequences. Globular prolamins were bound to the amyloid fibrils to combine their respective advantages. The dynamic light scattering showed that the composites with a characteristic stabilized behavior (43.60 ± 1.75 mV ∼ 35.20 ± 0.65 mV) were formed at pH 4.0-5.0, in which noncovalent interactions between fibril and particles occurred. Two different structures: fruit tree-like structure and beaded-like structure, were presented in AFM and TEM images due to the different pH adjustment sequences, while blending sequences had negligible effect on the morphology of the composites. A fruit tree-like entity was detected for lysozyme fibril-zein composites, where its "branches" bear zein globular particles. A beaded-like structure was observed for lysozyme fibril-zein composites, where lysozyme fibril was the thread and zein aggregates were the beads. The potential mechanism of this phenomenon can be explained as the fruit tree-like structure being primarily formed through electrostatic interactions while the beaded-like structure is mainly caused by hydrophobic interactions. The composites of fruit tree-like structures hold a more promising stability than those with beaded-like structures. The results of this research would give constructive information for the fabrication of amyloid fibril-prolamin protein composites, which may exhibit the combined advantages of each components and have potential applications in encapsulation and protection of bioactive substances and stabilizing emulsions.

Abstract
There is growing interest in the production of foods and beverages with nutrient and nutraceutical profiles tailored to an individual's specific nutritional requirements. In principle, these personalized nutrition products are formulated based on the genetics, epigenetics, metabolism, microbiome, phenotype, lifestyle, age, gender, and health status of a person. A challenge in this area is to create customized functional food and beverage products that contain the required combination of bioactive agents, such as lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, nutraceuticals, prebiotics and probiotics. Nanotechnology may facilitate the development of these kind of products since it can be used to encapsulate one or more bioactive agent in a single colloidal delivery system. This delivery system may contain one or more different kinds of colloidal particle, specifically designed to protect each nutrient in the food, but then deliver it in a bioavailable form after ingestion. This review article provides an overview of the different kinds of bioactives that need to be delivered, as well as some of the challenges associated with incorporating them into functional foods and beverages. It then highlights how nanotech-enabled colloidal delivery systems can be developed to encapsulate multiple bioactive agents in a form suitable for functional food applications, particularly in the personalized nutrition field.
