Food Chem 2024; 454:139742. [PMID: 38795623 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139742] [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: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024]
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA)-starch-fatty acid (FA) interactions on the structural, digestibility and release characteristics of high amylose corn starch (HAS). FTIR and XRD analysis showed that the hydrophobic interaction between HAS and FA promoted the covalent binding between OSA and HAS. With the increasing of the FA chain length, the complex index, degree of substitution, R1047/1022 and relative crystallinity of OSA-HAS-FA increased first and then decreased, whereas the first-order rate coefficient and percentage of digested in infinite time showed an opposite trend. Structural changes and the molecular interactions of OSA-HAS-FA with 12‑carbon FA resulted in highest resistant starch content (45.43%) and encapsulation efficiency of curcumin (Cur) (47.98%). In vitro release test revealed that Cur could be gradually released from OSA-HAS-FA in simulated gastric, intestinal and colonic fluids. Results provided novel insights into HAS-FA complex grafted with OSA as carrier for colon-specific of functional materials.

Fabrication and characterization of responsible approach for targeted intestinal releasing and enhancing the effectivity of kidney tea saponin upon porous starch /xanthan gum /sodium alginate-based hydrogel bead. Int J Biol Macromol 2024:134974. [PMID: 39181374 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134974] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 08/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
To enhance the intestinal targeted release of kidney tea saponins, a simple delivery system was designed through the use of porous starch (PS), sodium alginate (ALG) and xanthan gum (XG). Porous starch was prepared by hydrolysis with a combination of α-amylase and amyloglucosidase and it was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, which revealed the formation of porous structures in the starch granules. The results of one-way optimisation illustrated that this unique delivery system achieved 79.00 ± 1.22 % of the optimal encapsulation rate. The carrier structure was subjected to analysis using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The α-glucosidase inhibition assay showed better inhibition of kidney tea saponin compared to the positive control acarbose. In addition, the effectiveness of this delivery design was confirmed via an in vitro simulated digestion method. It was showed that only a 15.57 ± 1.27 % release rate of kidney tea saponin was observed in the upper gastrointestinal tract, whereas release rates of 17.51 ± 1.29 % and 41.07 ± 0.76 % were observed for xanthan gum/sodium alginate/kidney tea saponin and sodium alginate/kidney tea saponin beads, respectively. It was concluded that the utilization of PS and a xanthan gum/sodium alginate coating represents an efficacious methodology for the development of an intestinal targeted delivery system.

Aging Dis 2024:AD.2024.0282. [PMID: 39012676 DOI: 10.14336/ad.2024.0282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Quercetin (QC), a naturally occurring bioflavonoid found in various fruits and vegetables, possesses many potential health benefits, primarily attributed to its robust antioxidant properties. The generation of oxidative stress in bone cells is a key modulator of their physiological behavior. Moreover, oxidative stress status influences the pathophysiology of mineralized tissues. Increasing scientific evidence demonstrates that manipulating the redox balance in bone cells might be an effective technique for developing bone disease therapies. The QC antioxidant abilities in skeletal muscle significantly enhance muscle regeneration and reduce muscle atrophy. In addition, QC has been shown to have protective effects against oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and matrix degradation in tendons, helping to maintain the structural integrity and functionality of tendons. Thus, the antioxidant properties of QC might be crucial for addressing age-related musculoskeletal disorders like osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and tendon-related inflammatory conditions. Understanding how QC influences redox signaling pathways involved in musculoskeletal disorders, including their effect on bone, muscle, and tendon differentiation, might provide insights into the diverse advantages of QC in promoting tissue regeneration and preventing cellular damage. Therefore, this study reviewed the intricate relationship among oxidative stress, inflammation, and tissue repair, affected by the antioxidative abilities of QC, in age-related musculoskeletal tissues to improve the overall health of bones, muscles, and tendons of the skeletal system. Also, reviewing the ongoing clinical trials of QC for musculoskeletal systems is encouraging. Given the positive effect of QC on musculoskeletal health, further scientific investigations and controlled human intervention studies are necessary to explore the therapeutic potential to its optimum strength.

Abstract
Low methoxyl pectin (LMP) with different degree of methoxylation (DM, 40-50 %, 20-30 % and 5-10 %) were prepared from commercially available citrus pectin using high hydrostatic pressure assisted enzymatic (HHP-pectin) and traditional alkaline (A-pectin) de-esterification method. The results showed that both de-esterification methods and DM exhibited LMPs with varied physicochemical, structural, and functional properties. As the DM decreased, LMP showed a decrease in molecular weight (Mw), while an increase in negative charges and rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I) ratio, accompanied with better emulsion stability, emulsion gel strength and water-holding properties. Relative to A-pectin, HHP-pectin had higher Mw and lower RG-I side chain ratio, contributing to its better thermal stability, apparent viscosity, and emulgelling properties. HHP-pectin with lower DM (5-10 %) showed superior thickening, emulsifying and emulgelling properties, while that with higher DM (40-45 %) had superior thermal stability, which provided alternative for de-esterification and targeted structural modification of pectin.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to prepare a drug carrier that could deliver oral insulin to the intestine. A hydrogel beads composed of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), Zingiber offtcinale polysaccharide (ZOP) and chitosan (CS) were prepared by ionic gel method as insulin carrier. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric (TGA) showed that the hydrogel was formed by metal ion coordination between ZOP and CMC and Fe3+, and CS was coated on the surface of the hydrogel ball in the form of non covalent bond. The results showed that the swelling process of hydrogel spheres has significant pH sensitivity. In addition, the hydrogel beads successfully coated insulin, and the drug loading rate (DL) of (ZOP/CMC-Fe3+)@CS could reach 69.43 ± 7.32 mg/g, and the entrapment efficiency (EE) could reach 66.94 ± 7.43 %. In vitro release experiments, the release rate of (CMC/ZOP-Fe3+)@CS in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) for 2 h was <20 %, and the cumulative release rate of insulin after 9 h in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) reached over 90 %. The results showed that the hydrogel beads prepared in this work could be used as a potential carrier for delivering oral insulin.

Abstract
As a lipophilic flavonol, quercetin has low bioavailability, which limits its application in foods. This work aimed to prepare a hordein-based system to deliver quercetin. We constructed hordein-whey isolate protein fibril (WPIF) complexes (H-Ws) by anti-solvent precipitation method at pH 2.5. The TEM results of the complexes showed that spherical-like hordein particles were wrapped in WPIF clusters to form an interconnected network structure. FTIR spectra revealed that hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions were the main driving forces for the complex formation. H-W1 (the mass ratio of hordein to WPIF was 1:1) with a three-phase contact angle of 70.2° was chosen to stabilize Pickering emulsions with oil volume fractions (φ) of 40-70%. CLSM images confirmed that the oil droplets were gradually embedded in the three-dimensional network structure of H-W1 with the increase in oil volume fraction. The emulsion with φ = 70% showed a tight gel structure. Furthermore, this emulsion exhibited high encapsulation efficiency (97.8%) and a loading capacity of 0.2%, demonstrating the potential to deliver hydrophobic bioactive substances. Compared with free quercetin, the bioaccessibility of the encapsulated quercetin (35%) was significantly improved. This study effectively promoted the application of hordein-based delivery systems in the food industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Natural and synthetic biocompatible polymers have received significant attention in the pharmaceutical industry due to their rapid and effective healing properties in the wound healing process. The aim of this study was to optimize the extraction of onions, the preparation of sodium alginate/collagen/hydrogen boron nitride (NaAlg/Col/h-BN) membranes using the Box-Behnken experimental design, and determine the optimal conditions for quercetin release. The study also aimed to investigate the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the prepared membranes and their therapeutic properties. METHODS AND RESULTS The prepared membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Antimicrobial activities were tested against Gram-negative (Gr-) Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Klebsiella pneumonia, Enterobacter aerogenes, Gram-positive (Gr+) Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, and Candida albicans ATCC 10231 pathogens. In vitro release studies were conducted to examine the therapeutic properties of the prepared membranes. The optimum conditions for the extraction of onions and the preparation of NaAlg/Col/h-BN membranes were found to be EtOH = 75 mL, t = 2 h, T = 45°C, and NaAlg = 1.0 g, Col = 2.0 g, and h-BN = 6% wt, respectively. The prepared membranes exhibited serious antimicrobial properties against S. aureus and C. albicans. The membranes also promoted the controlled release of quercetin for 24 h in vitro, indicating their potential as a new approach in wound treatment. CONCLUSION The study concludes that quercetin-filled NaAlg/Col/h-BN membranes have promising therapeutic properties for wound healing. The membranes exhibited significant antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, and their controlled release of quercetin suggests their potential for use in wound healing applications.

Abstract
Oral colon-specific delivery system (OCDS) is a targeted approach that aims to directly deliver bioactive compounds directly to the colon following oral administration, thereby enhancing the colonic release of bioactive substances and minimizing adverse reactions. The effectiveness of bioactive substances in the colon hinges on the degree of release, which are affected by various factors including pH, mucosal barrier, delivery time and so on. Therefore, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the key factors affecting oral colon-specific release of bioactive components firstly. Considering the oral safety, this review then mainly focuses on the types of carriers with edible OCDS and preparation strategies for OCDS. Finally, several preparation strategies for loading typical natural bioactive ingredients into oral safe OCDS are reviewed, along with future development prospects.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, life quality-reducing disease with no cures available yet. To develop an effective medication suitable for long-term use is an urgent but unmet need. Quercetin (QT) is a natural dietary flavonoid with good safety and multifaceted pharmacological activities against inflammation. However, orally administrated quercetin yields unproductive outcomes for IBD treatment because of its poor solubility and extensive metabolism in the gastrointestinal tract. In this work, a colon-targeted QT delivery system (termed COS-CaP-QT) was developed, of which the pectin (PEC)/Ca2+ microspheres were prepared and then crosslinked by oligochitosan (COS). The drug release profile of COS-CaP-QT was pH-dependent and colon microenvironment-responsive, and COS-CaP-QT showed preferential distribution in the colon. The mechanism study showed that QT triggered the Notch pathway to regulate the proliferation of T helper 2 (Th2) cells and group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) and the inflammatory microenvironment was remodeled. The in vivo therapeutic results revealed that COS-CaP-QT could relieve the colitis symptoms and maintain the colon length and intestinal barrier integrity.

Frosi I, Balduzzi A, Moretto G, Colombo R, Papetti A. Towards Valorization of Food-Waste-Derived Pectin: Recent Advances on Their Characterization and Application. Molecules 2023; 28:6390. [PMID: 37687219 PMCID: PMC10489144 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28176390] [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: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Pectin, a natural biopolymer, can be extracted from food waste biomass, adding value to raw materials. Currently, commercial pectin is mostly extracted from citrus peels (85.5%) and apple pomace (14.0%), with a small segment from sugar beet pulp (0.5%). However, driven by high market demand (expected to reach 2.12 billion by 2030), alternative agro-industrial waste is gaining attention as potential pectin sources. This review summarizes the recent advances in characterizing pectin from both conventional and emerging food waste sources. The focus is the chemical properties that affect their applications, such as the degree of esterification, the neutral sugars' composition, the molecular weight, the galacturonic acid content, and technological-functional properties. The review also highlights recent updates in nutraceutical and food applications, considering the potential use of pectin as an encapsulating agent for intestinal targeting, a sustainable biopolymer for food packaging, and a functional and emulsifying agent in low-calorie products. It is clear from the considered literature that further studies are needed concerning the complexity of the pectin structure extracted from emerging food waste raw materials, in order to elucidate their most suitable commercial application.

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
Citrus fruits processing results in the generation of huge amounts of citrus by-products, mainly peels, pulp, membranes, and seeds. Although they represent a major concern from both economical and environmental aspects, it is very important to emphasize that these by-products contain a rich source of value-added bioactive compounds with a wide spectrum of applications in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. The primary aim of this review is to highlight the great potential of isolated phytochemicals and extracts of individual citrus by-products with bioactive properties (e.g., antitumor, antimicrobial, antiviral, antidiabetic, antioxidant, and other beneficial activities with health-promoting abilities) and their potential in pharmaceutical, biomedical, and biological applications. This review on citrus by-products contains the following parts: structural and chemical characteristics; the utilization of citrus by-products; bioactivities of the present waxes and carotenoids, essential oils, pectins, and phenolic compounds; and citrus by-product formulations with enhanced biocactivities. A summary of the recent developments in applying citrus by-products for the treatment of different diseases and the protection of human health is also provided, emphasizing innovative methods for bioaccessibility enhancements (e.g., extract/component encapsulation, synthesis of biomass-derived nanoparticles, nanocarriers, or biofilm preparation). Based on the representative phytochemical groups, an evaluation of the recent studies of the past six years (from 2018 to 2023) reporting specific biological and health-promoting activities of citrus-based by-products is also provided. Finally, this review discusses advanced and modern approaches in pharmaceutical/biological formulations and drug delivery (e.g., carbon precursors for the preparation of nanoparticles with promising antimicrobial activity, the production of fluorescent nanoparticles with potential application as antitumor agents, and in cellular imaging). The recent studies implementing nanotechnology in food science and biotechnology could bring about new insights into providing innovative solutions for new pharmaceutical and medical discoveries.

Abstract
Quercetin, a flavonoid found in fruits and vegetables, has been a part of human diets for centuries. Its numerous health benefits, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anticancer properties, have been extensively studied. Its strong antioxidant properties enable it to scavenge free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and protect against cellular damage. Quercetin's anti-inflammatory properties involve inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines and enzymes, making it a potential therapeutic agent for various inflammatory conditions. It also exhibits anticancer effects by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis. Finally, quercetin has cardiovascular benefits such as lowering blood pressure, reducing cholesterol levels, and improving endothelial function, making it a promising candidate for preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases. This review provides an overview of the chemical structure, biological activities, and bioavailability of quercetin, as well as the different delivery systems available for quercetin. Incorporating quercetin-rich foods into the diet or taking quercetin supplements may be beneficial for maintaining good health and preventing chronic diseases. As research progresses, the future perspectives of quercetin appear promising, with potential applications in nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and functional foods to promote overall well-being and disease prevention. However, further studies are needed to elucidate its mechanisms of action, optimize its bioavailability, and assess its long-term safety for widespread utilization.

Abstract
Chitosan is illustrated in research as a stimulant of plant tolerance and resistance that promotes natural defense mechanisms against biotic and abiotic stressors, and its use may lessen the amount of agrochemicals utilized in agriculture. Recent literature reports indicate the high efficacy of soil or foliar usage of chitin and chitosan in the promotion of plant growth and the induction of secondary metabolites biosynthesis in various species, such as Artemisia annua, Curcuma longa, Dracocephalum kotschyi, Catharanthus roseus, Fragaria × ananassa, Ginkgo biloba, Iberis amara, Isatis tinctoria, Melissa officinalis, Mentha piperita, Ocimum basilicum, Origanum vulgare ssp. Hirtum, Psammosilene tunicoides, Salvia officinalis, Satureja isophylla, Stevia rebaudiana, and Sylibum marianum, among others. This work focuses on the outstanding scientific contributions to the field of the production and quality of aromatic and medicinal plants, based on the different functions of chitosan and chitin in sustainable crop production. The application of chitosan can lead to increased medicinal plant production and protects plants against harmful microorganisms. The effectiveness of chitin and chitosan is also due to the low concentration required, low cost, and environmental safety. On the basis of showing such considerable characteristics, there is increasing attention on the application of chitin and chitosan biopolymers in horticulture and agriculture productions.

Abstract
With the high incidence of chronic diseases, precise nutrition is a safe and efficient nutritional intervention method to improve human health. Food functional ingredients are an important material base for precision nutrition, which have been researched for their application in preventing diseases and improving health. However, their poor solubility, stability, and bad absorption largely limit their effect on nutritional intervention. The establishment of a stable targeted delivery system is helpful to enhance their bioavailability, realize the controlled release of functional ingredients at the targeted action sites in vivo, and provide nutritional intervention approaches and methods for precise nutrition. In this review, we summarized recent studies about the types of targeted delivery systems for the delivery of functional ingredients and their digestion fate in the gastrointestinal tract, including emulsion-based delivery systems and polymer-based delivery systems. The building materials, structure, size and charge of the particles in these delivery systems were manipulated to fabricate targeted carriers. Finally, the targeted delivery systems for food functional ingredients have gained some achievements in nutritional intervention for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), liver disease, obesity, and cancer. These findings will help in designing fine targeted delivery systems, and achieving precise nutritional intervention for food functional ingredients on human health.

Abstract
This study aims to develop hydrogels from apple pectin (AP) and hogweed pectin (HP) in multiple ratios (4:0; 3:1; 2:2; 1:3; and 0:4) using ionotropic gelling with calcium gluconate. Rheological and textural analyses, electromyography, a sensory analysis, and the digestibility of the hydrogels were determined. Increasing the HP content in the mixed hydrogel increased its strength. The Young’s modulus and tangent after flow point values were higher for mixed hydrogels than for pure AP and HP hydrogels, suggesting a synergistic effect. The HP hydrogel increased the chewing duration, number of chews, and masticatory muscle activity. Pectin hydrogels received the same likeness scores and differed only in regard to perceived hardness and brittleness. The galacturonic acid was found predominantly in the incubation medium after the digestion of the pure AP hydrogel in simulated intestinal (SIF) and colonic (SCF) fluids. Galacturonic acid was slightly released from HP-containing hydrogels during chewing and treatment with simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and SIF, as well as in significant amounts during SCF treatment. Thus, new food hydrogels with new rheological, textural, and sensory properties can be obtained from a mixture of two low-methyl-esterified pectins (LMPs) with different structures.

Quercetin Induces Apoptosis in HepG2 Cells via Directly Interacting with YY1 to Disrupt YY1-p53 Interaction. Metabolites 2023; 13:metabo13020229.

Abstract
Quercetin is a flavonol found in edible plants and possesses a significant anticancer activity. This study explored the mechanism by which quercetin prevented liver cancer via inducing apoptosis in HepG2 cells. Quercetin induced cell proliferation and apoptosis through inhibiting YY1 and facilitating p53 expression and subsequently increasing the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. The results revealed that YY1 knockdown promoted apoptosis, whilst YY1 overexpression suppressed apoptosis via direct physical interaction between YY1 and p53 to regulate the p53 signaling pathway. Molecular docking using native and mutant YY1 proteins showed that quercetin could interact directly with YY1, and the binding of quercetin to YY1 significantly decreased the docking energy of YY1 with p53 protein. The interactions between quercetin and YY1 protein included direct binding and non-bonded indirect interactions, as confirmed by cellular thermal shift assay, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy. It was likely that quercetin directly bound to YY1 protein to compete with p53 for the binding sites of YY1 to disrupt the YY1-p53 interaction, thereby promoting p53 activation. This study provides insights into the mechanism underlying quercetin's anticancer action and supports the development of quercetin as an anticancer therapeutic agent.

Abstract
Despite the vast array of health beneficial pharmacological effects, the bioavailability of the dietary flavonoid quercetin was found to be poor due to insolubility, incompatibility, and rapid biotransformation. Herein, we investigated the solubility, morphology, particle size, stability, in vitro release, and human pharmacokinetics of a hybrid-hydrogel formulation of quercetin (FQ-35) using fenugreek galactomannans as the hydrogel scaffold. Physicochemical characterization revealed that the crystalline quercetin was well encapsulated in the hydrogel matrix to form translucent microgel particles of FQ-35 with enhanced solubility (96-fold). The mean particle size was found to be 183.6 ± 42.7 nm with a zeta potential of 35.1 ± 3.8 mV. Pharmacokinetic investigation on healthy volunteers (N = 16) employing tandem mass spectrometric (ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry) measurements of the concentration of free (unconjugated) and conjugated quercetin metabolites revealed an 18.6-fold improvement in free (unconjugated) quercetin bioavailability and 62-fold improvement in total quercetin (sum of free and conjugated) bioavailability, compared to the unformulated quercetin extracted from Sophora japonica. In summary, the natural self-emulsifying reversible hybrid-hydrogel delivery system was found to offer significant solubility, stability, and bioavailability of quercetin upon single-dose oral administration.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Polysaccharide-based hydrogels (PBHs) offer several advantages over their synthetic counterparts. Their natural origin contributes to their nontoxicity, high biocompatibility, and in vivo biodegradability. Their properties can be tuned finely to obtain hydrogels with desired mechanical, structural, and chemical properties. AREAS COVERED Such versatile characteristics have potentiated the use of PBHs for the delivery of drugs, vaccines, protein and peptide therapeutics, genes, cells, probiotics, bacteriophages, and other therapeutic agents. Recent advances in hydrogel-based formulations such as nanogels, microgels, microneedles, hydrogel beads, nanocarrier-loaded hydrogels, and complexation hydrogels have enabled the precise delivery of a wide range of therapeutics. This review aims to give a holistic overview of hydrogels in the delivery of a variety of therapeutics through different routes. EXPERT OPINION PBHs have been used to enable the oral delivery of vaccines and other biologicals, thereby allowing self-administration of life-saving vaccines during public health emergencies. There is a lack of commercialized wound dressings for the treatment of chronic wounds. PBH-based wound dressings, especially those based on chitosan and loaded with actives and growth factors, have the potential to help in the long-term treatment of such wounds. Recent developments in the 3D printing of hydrogels can enable the quick and large-scale production of drug-loaded hydrogels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aiming to address the practical problems of a low utilization rate and the serious waste of soybean residue, novel composite hydrogels based on okara cellulose before and after 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine oxide (TEMPO) oxidation and high polymers of chitosan (CH), carrageenan (CA) or Arabic gum (AG) were prepared by a homogeneous mixture in ionic liquid. RESULTS In the present study, composite hydrogels fabricated from okara cellulose and CH, CA or AG were prepared by dissolving them in an ionic liquid, followed by heating (100 °C, 3 h) and then soaking them in a 1:1 water-isopropanol solution. The composite hydrogels prepared from TEMPO oxidation-treated cellulose were physically cross-linked to CH, CA or AG. The results showed that the intramolecular hydrogen bonds in the amorphous regions of the cellulose were disrupted, whereas the intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the biopolymers were increased, which promoted the formation of composite gels with crystalline structures. The TEMPO treatment increased the gel strength. For example, for the cellulose/CA gels, the hardness, fracturability, springiness and cohesiveness values were 5.9-, 4.3-, 2.4- and 3.6-fold higher compared to the non-treated ones, respectively. The composite hydrogels exhibited good thermal stability, swelling properties and mechanical properties. These novel composite polysaccharide-based hydrogels may therefore have great potential in various food and non-food fields. CONCLUSION In summary, the addition of polymers (CH, CA or AG) and TEMPO oxidized cellulose was suitable for increasing the swelling, textural properties, thermal stability and rheological properties of hydrogels, which provides new ideas and new methods for the preparation of bio-based composite hydrogels. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Oral colon-targeted gel beads containing isoliquiritigenin (ISL) were successfully designed in our study. In order to further explore the targeting of the colon by the gel beads, a systematic study of their in vivo pharmacokinetics and colon targeting was performed in mice. METHODS Eighteen male mice were included in this study. The mice were separated into six groups at random. We collected blood, stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and colon tissues at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 h after oral administration of gel beads containing isoliquiritigenin at a dose of 20 mg/kg. Gel beads in tissues were recorded and taken out to observe their swelling and erosion. The total ISL concentrations in different tissues and gel beads were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS All gel beads reached the upper part of the stomach at 2 h with no obvious swelling. Most of the gel beads were still in the lower part of stomach, while a small amount had reached the small intestine at 4 h. A few gel beads reached the colon and swelled at 6 h. Furthermore, the gel beads in the colon were swollen and erosive at 8 h. Meanwhile, the plasma ISL concentration could be detected, which indicated that the ISL in the gel beads was absorbed. At 12 h, the gel beads were almost dissolved and the plasma concentration was 8.33 times that at 8 h. At 24 h, the gel beads had completely disappeared, and the plasma concentration was 2.55 times that at 12 h. CONCLUSION The gel beads containing ISL are a sustained, controlled, and colon-targeting delivery system that can alter the ISL distribution in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Oral colon-targeted delivery systems (OCDSs) have attracted great attention in the delivery of active compounds targeted to the colon for the treatment of colon and non-colon diseases with the advantages of enhanced efficacy and reduced side effects. Chitosan, the second-most abundant biopolymer next to cellulose, has great biocompatibility, is non-toxic, is sensitive to colonic flora and shows strong adhesion to colonic mucus, making it an ideal biomaterial candidate for the construction of OCDSs. Being rich in functional groups, the chitosan structure is easily modified, both physically and chemically, for the fabrication of delivery systems with diverse geometries, including nanoparticles, microspheres/microparticles, and hydrogels, that are resistant to the harsh environment of the upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT). This review offers a detailed overview of the preparation of chitosan-based delivery systems as the basis for building OCDSs. A variety of natural polyphenols with potent biological activities are used to treat diseases of the colon, or to be metabolized as active ingredients by colonic microorganisms to intervene in remote organ diseases after absorption into the circulation. However, the poor solubility of polyphenols limits their application, and the acidic environment of the upper GIT and various enzymes in the small intestine disrupt their structure and activity. As a result, the development of OCDSs for polyphenols has become an emerging and popular area of current research in the past decade. Thus, the second objective of this review is to systematically summarize the most recent research findings in this area and shed light on the future development of chitosan-based OCDSs for nutritional and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Improving the stability of fucoxanthin in the gastrointestinal tract is an important approach to enhance its oral bioavailability. The study proposed a new microfluidic device allowing for the synthesis of a structurally well-defined nanoscale delivery system with a uniform size for encapsulation and colon-target release of fucoxanthin. The rapid mixing in the microfluidic channel ensured that the mixing time was shorter than the aggregation time, thus realizing the controllable control of the coprecipitation of fucoxanthin and shellac polymer. In vitro digestion tests showed that a pH stimulus-responsive release of fucoxanthin from FX/SH NPs was observed under alkaline pH conditions. The fluorescence colocalization imaging indicated that FX/SH NPs did not affect the intestine function and had a protective effect on Caco-2 cells damaged by H2O2 by enhancing their antioxidant capacity. Overall, this work illustrated the promise of using a microfluidic approach to fabricate the biomimetic nanodelivery system for better biocompatibility and targeting efficacy.

Fabrication and Characterization of Gel Beads of Whey Isolate Protein-Pectin Complex for Loading Quercetin and Their Digestion Release. Gels 2021; 8:gels8010018.

Abstract
In this study, emulsion gel beads for loading quercetin were prepared through an emulsification/gelation process using whey protein isolate (WPI) and pectin. Emulsion gel beads’ properties were investigated by different pectin content. Additionally, the physicochemical properties, morphology and quercetin release properties from beads were explored. Firstly, electrical characteristics and the rheology of bead-forming solutions were measured, revealing that all systems had strong negative charge and exhibited shear-thinning behavior. The textural results demonstrated that the properties of emulsion gel beads were improved with increasing the content of pectin. It was also confirmed that crosslinking was formed between WPI emulsion and pectin by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). In addition, the shape of the beads was spherical or ellipses with smooth surfaces and they had a tight gel network of internal structures, which was visualized by using electron microscopy (SEM). Finally, the amount of quercetin released in vitro was gradually decreased with increasing pectin content; it was as low as 0.59%. These results revealed that WPI emulsion–pectin gel beads might be an effective delivery system for quercetin as a colon target and are worth exploring further.

Abstract
Moderate alkali de-esterification can change the physicochemical characteristics and thus the functional properties of high methoxyl pectin (HMP). The results revealed that de-esterification could increase negative charges (Zeta potential from -21 to -31 mV), decrease molecular weight (from 448 to 136 kDa) and apparent viscosity of HMP. Homogalacturonan (HG) content decreased (from 62% to 49%) while rhamnogalacturonan Ⅰ (RG-Ⅰ) content increased (from 32% to 46%) after de-esterification. The group characteristics of HMP with different degree of esterification (DE) were similar and no obvious impact was made on degree of crystallinity by alkali de-esterification. A conformation transition of HMP molecule implied by Congo red test were occurred as the DE decreased. With the decrease of DE, the molecular structure of HMP became shorter and smaller, and the entanglement was weaker. The de-esterification caused slight decrease of thermal stability. Alkali de-esterification would weaken the gel property and the emulsifying ability of HMP.

Abstract
In this study, zein and fucoidan-based composite nanoparticles were prepared by the antisolvent precipitation method. The effects of different calcium ion (Ca2+, 0-3.0 mM) concentrations on the stability of the composite nanosystems loaded with quercetin were studied under different conditions (pH, temperature, salt concentration, and ultraviolet light irradiation), and the composite nanoparticles were characterized. Electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions are the main forces underlying the formation of composite nanoparticles. The addition of Ca2+ led to improved release of the active substances from the composite nanoparticles in simulated digestive solutions (especially when the Ca2+ concentration was 1.5 mM). The composite nanosystems based on alcohol-soluble proteins and anionic polysaccharides with added Ca2+ can be potentially applied for the delivery of active substances.

Abstract
Natural macromolecules have attracted increasing attention due to their biocompatibility, low toxicity, and biodegradability. Pectin is one of the few polysaccharides with biomedical activity, consequently a candidate in biomedical and drug delivery Applications. Rhamnogalacturonan-II, a smaller component in pectin, plays a major role in biomedical activities. The ubiquitous presence of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in pectin contribute to their hydrophilicity and, hence, to the favorable biocompatibility, low toxicity, and biodegradability. However, pure pectin-based materials present undesirable swelling and corrosion properties. The hydrophilic groups, via coordination, electrophilic addition, esterification, transesterification reactions, can contribute to pectin's physicochemical properties. Here the properties, extraction, and modification of pectin, which are fundamental to biomedical and drug delivery applications, are reviewed. Moreover, the synthesis, properties, and performance of pectin-based hybrid materials, composite materials, and emulsions are elaborated. The comprehensive review presented here can provide valuable information on pectin and its biomedical and drug delivery applications.

Abstract
In case of colon-specific delivery of therapeutic agents through oral route, microbial/enzyme-triggered release approach has several advantages over other approaches due to unique microbial ecosystem in the colon. Multiple-unit carriers have an edge over single-unit carriers for this purpose. Among different materials/polymers explored, pectin appears as a promising biopolymer to construct microbial-triggered colon-specific carriers. Pectin is specifically degraded by colonic enzymes but insusceptible to upper gastro-intestinal enzymes. In this article, utilization of pectin solely or in combination with other polymers and/or colonic-delivery approaches is critically discussed in detail in the context of multi-particulate systems. Several studies showed that pectin-based carriers can prevent the release of payload in the stomach but start to release in the intestine. Hence, pectin alone may construct delayed release formulation but may not be sufficient for effective colon-targeting. On the other hand, combination of pectin with other materials/polymers (e.g., chitosan and Eudragit® S-100) has demonstrated huge promise for colon-specific release of payload. Hence, smartly designed pectin-based multi-particulate carriers, especially in combination with other polymers and/or colon-targeting approaches (e.g., microbial-triggered + pH-triggered or microbial-triggered + pH-triggered + time-release or microbial-triggered + pH-triggered + pressure-based), can be successful colon-specific delivery systems. However, more clinical trials are necessary to bring this idea from bench to bedside.

Abstract
Quercetin is a flavonoid present in a wide variety of plant resources. Over the years, extensive efforts have been devoted to examining the potential biological effects of quercetin and to manipulating the chemical and physical properties of the flavonoid. However, limited studies have reviewed the opportunities and challenges of using quercetin in the development of functional foods. To address this necessity, in this review; we foremost present an overview of the chemical properties and stability of quercetin in food products followed by a detailed discussion of various strategies that enhance its oral bioavailability. We further highlight the areas to be practically considered during development of quercetin-based functional foods. By revisiting the current status of applied research on quercetin, it is anticipated that useful insights enabling research on quercetin can be potentially translated into practical applications in food product development.
