The improvement of water barrier property in gelatin/carboxymethyl cellulose composite film by electrostatic interaction regulation and its application in strawberry preservation. Food Chem 2024; 450:139352. [PMID: 38640532 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
Gelatin (GL) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) are common natural components for edible films, but their water barrier performance are finite as hydrophilic polymers. In this study, a GL/CMC water barrier film was prepared, characterized and applied. The microstructure results showed that complex coacervation at pH 2.0 and cross-linking effect of sodium benzoate resulted in strong interaction forces and dense structure of this film. Compared with pure GL or CMC film, this novel composite film decreased water vapor permeability by approximately 90%, and possessed applicable water solubility (51.5%) and stronger barrier to oxygen and UV light. Acidic environment and sodium benzoate endowed antibacterial activity. Furthermore, the water barrier coating film decreased water loss by 47.8% and improved overall quality of fresh strawberries stored at 25 °C for 6 d. Therefore, the novel water barrier film based on complex coacervation and cross-linking is promising to control the postharvest quality of perishable berries.

Abstract
The synergistic effects of ultrafine grinding and enzymolysis (cellulase and Laccase hydrolysis) alone or combined with carboxymethylation or acetylation on the hypoglycemic and antioxidant activities of oil palm kernel fibre (OPKEF) were studied for the first time. After these synergistic modifications, the microstructure of OPKEF became more porous, and its soluble fibre and total polyphenols contents, and surface area were all improved (P < 0.05). Superfine-grinding and enzymolysis combined with carboxymethylation treated OPKEF exhibited the highest viscosity (13.9 mPa∙s), inhibition ability to glucose diffusion (38.18%), and water-expansion volume (3.58 mL∙g-1). OPKEF treated with superfine-grinding and enzymolysis combined with acetylation showed the highest surface hydrophobicity (50.93) and glucose adsorption capacity (4.53 μmol∙g-1), but a lower α-amylase-inhibition ability. Moreover, OPKEF modified by superfine-grinding and enzymolysis had the highest inhibiting activity against α-amylase (25.78%). Additionally, superfine-grinding and enzymolysis combined with carboxymethylation or acetylation both improved the content and antioxidant activity of OPEKF's bounding polyphenols (P < 0.05).

Abstract
With growing concerns about postharvest spoilage of fruits, higher requirements have been placed on high-performance and sustainable active packaging materials. In this study, we prepared curcumin-based functional composite films using chitosan (CS) and Tenebrio molitor larvae protein (TMP) as the substrates. The effects of curcumin concentration on the structural and physicochemical properties of the composite films were determined. Curcumin was equally distributed in the polymer film through physical interactions. Furthermore, the curcumin composite film with 0.3 % addition exhibited a 27.39 % increase in elongation at break (EBA), a 37.04 % increase in the water vapor barrier, and strong UV-blocking properties and antioxidant activity compared with the control film (CS/TMP). The degradation experiment of the composite film on natural soil revealed that the composite film exhibited good biodegradability and environmental protection. Furthermore, the applicability of functional composite films for preserving blueberries was investigated. Compared with the control film and polyethylene (PE) films, the prepared composite films packaging treatment reduced the decay rate and weight loss rate of blueberries during storage, delayed softening and aging, and maintained the quality of blueberries. Using sustainable protein resources (TMP) and natural polysaccharides as packaging materials provides an economically, feasible and sustainable way to achieve the functional preservation of biomass materials.

Abstract
In present study, polysaccharide polyelectrolyte nanoparticles (CMAAP-CS NPs) were constructed by mixing carboxymethylated Anemarrhena asphodeloides polysaccharide (CMAAP) and chitosan (CS). CMAAP-CS NPs were applied as carrier to improve the bioavailability and stability of curcumin (Cur). The average particle size of CMAAP-CS NPs was 216.60 ± 4.21 nm and the entrapment efficiency of Cur reached 82.50 ± 2.09 %. The simulated digestion experiments in vitro confirmed that the bioavailability of Cur loaded in CMAAP-CS NPs was 59.84 ± 0.03 % after saliva, gastric and intestinal digestion, which was obvious higher than 21.57 ± 0.07 % of free Cur under the same conditions. The results of stability testing revealed that CMAAP-CS NPs could markedly reduce the degradation of Cur against storage, heating, UV light treatment, and neutral pH. This study provided promising polyelectrolyte complex loaded hydrophobic nutrients in medicine industry.

Abstract
Lipophilic compounds, such as flavors, fat-soluble vitamins, and hydrophobic nutrients possess vital properties including antioxidant effects, functional attributes, and nutritional value that can improve human health. However, their susceptibility to environmental factors including heat, pH changes, and ionic strength encountered during food processing poses significant challenges. To address these issues, diverse bioactive delivery systems have been developed. This review explores delivery systems designed to optimize the stability and suitability of lipophilic bioactive compounds in food processing. Extensive literature analysis reveals that tailoring delivery systems with various biopolymers can protect bioactives through steric hindrance and formation of thick interfacial layers on the emulsion surfaces. Thus, the access of oxygen, prooxidants, and free radicals at the emulsion interface could be inhibited, resulting in enhanced processing suitability of bioactives as well as chemical stability under diverse environmental conditions. The insights presented in this review hold immense value for the food and beverage industries.

Abstract
Zein particles (ZPs) have garnered considerable interest in delivery system construction for its capacity to encapsulate hydrophobic substances. Nonetheless, the instability of ZPs is an obstacle to application. Coating carboxymethylated corn fiber gum (CMCFG) which is a modified polysaccharide molecule enriched with anionic groups on the surface of ZPs is expected to overcome this limitation. Here, we evaluated the cell viability of CMCFG to Caco-2, proving the safety of CMCFG with different substitution degree (0.42, 0.52 and 0.70) below 20 mg/mL. Furthermore, curcumin, a hydrophobic model compound, was loaded onto ZPs coated with CMCFG using ultrasonic-antisolvent method, achieving a remarkable encapsulation efficiency (91.19%) and enhanced stability and bioaccessibility. Multiple characteristic approaches, such as zeta potential, FTIR, XRD, ultraviolet absorption spectra revealed that the assembly process mainly relied on hydrophobic interactions and electrostatic interactions. This study provides novel insights into encapsulation methods for hydrophobic nutrients.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to prepare a new antimicrobial Pickering emulsion of which the star anise essential oil was added to the oil phase, and to investigate the effect of stabilization by bio-based active nanoparticles consisting of zein and pectin loaded with thymol. First, the thymol-loaded zein/pectin composite nanoparticles (ZTNPs) were fabricated as uniformly distributed spherical nanoparticles with an average diameter of 200 nm through antisolvent precipitation. Second, the effects of nanoparticles' concentration, oil phase ratio, and storage time on the stability of emulsions were explored according to particle size potential, interfacial tension, rheology, and micromorphology. Finally, the antibacterial results showed that Pickering emulsion inhibited Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus compared to the control group by nearly 7 log colony-forming unit/g at 36 h, which was twice as much as the inhibition by thymol or star anise essential oils and ZTNPs. Therefore, the proposed Pickering emulsion with star anise essential oil could be used as a green and safe plant-derived antimicrobial agent in the food industry.

Abstract
This paper sets up a new route for producing non-covalently crosslinked bio-composites by blending poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) of microbial origin and chitosan (CH) through poly-electrolyte complexation under specific experimental conditions. CH and two different molecular weight γ-PGA fractions have been blended at different mass ratios (1/9, 2/8 and 3/7) under acidic pH. The developed materials seemed to behave like moldable hydrogels with a soft rubbery consistency. However, after dehydration, they became exceedingly hard, glass-like materials completely insoluble in water and organic solvents. The native biopolymers and their blends underwent comprehensive structural, physicochemical, and thermal analyses. The study confirmed strong physical interactions between polysaccharide and polyamide chains, facilitated by electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding. The materials exhibited both crystalline and amorphous structures and demonstrated good thermal stability and degradability. Described as thermoplastic and saloplastic, these bio-composites offer vast opportunities in the realm of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs). This unique combination of properties allowed the bio-composites to function as glass-like materials, making them highly versatile for potential applications in various fields. They hold potential for use in regenerative medicine, biomedical devices, food packaging, and 3D printing. Their environmentally friendly properties make them attractive candidates for sustainable material development in various industries.

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

Abstract
The effects of cellulase hydrolysis separately combined with hydroxypropylation, carboxymethylation and phosphate crosslinking on the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of millet bran dietary fibre (MBDF) were investigated. Compared to cellulase hydrolysis alone, these dual modifications more effectively improved the soluble fibre content, water-swelling ability, viscosity, emulsifying capacity and cation-exchange capacity of MBDF but reduced the emulsion stability, brightness and polyphenol content of MBDF (P < 0.05). MBDF modified by cellulase hydrolysis combined with hydroxypropylation showed the highest emulsifying capacity (60.03 m2/g) and oil-adsorption capacity (3.32 g/g) but the lowest nitrite ion-adsorbing ability (NIAA). MBDF modified by cellulase hydrolysis with carboxymethylation showed the highest surface hydrophobicity, cation-exchange capacity (0.352 mmol/g) and NIAA (152.89 μg/g). MBDF modified by cellulase hydrolysis combined with phosphate crosslinking exhibited excellent copper ion-adsorbing ability (19.97 mg/g) and viscosity (19.33 cp). Moreover, these dual modifications all enhanced the Fe2+ chelating ability and reducing power of MBDF (P < 0.05).

Abstract
Acid-ethanol hydrolysis and subsequent cinnamic acid (CA) esterification were employed to prepare a series of dual-modified starches efficiently loaded with curcumin (Cur) utilizing large conjugation systems provided by CA. Structures of the dual-modified starches were confirmed by IR and NMR, and their physicochemical properties were characterized by SEM, XRD and TGA. The nanoparticles fabricated from the dual-modified starch have perfect spherical shape (250.7-448.5 nm, polydispersity index <0.3), excellent biosafety (no hematotoxicity, no cytotoxicity, no mutagenicity) and high loading of Cur (up to 26.7 % loading). By XPS analysis, this high loading is believed to be supported by the synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding (provided by hydroxyl groups) and π-π interactions (provided by large conjugation system). In addition, the encapsulation of dual-modified starch nanoparticles effectively enhanced the water solubility (18-fold) and physical stability (6-8-fold) of free Cur. In vitro gastrointestinal release showed that Cur-encapsulated dual-modified starch nanoparticles were released more preferably than free Cur and that the Korsmeyer-Peppas model was the most suitable release model. These studies suggest that dual-modified starches containing large conjugation systems would be a better alternative for encapsulating fat-soluble food-derived biofunctional substances in functional food and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
In recent years, the fabrication of new drug delivery systems (DDSs) based on functionalization by multi-component reactions (MCRs) has received special attention. In this regard, to obtain a new oral administration system for colon-specific cancer treatment, the CMC@MWCNTs@FCA carrier was designed and prepared from the functionalization of the CMC@MWCNTs as a biocompatible raw material with carboxamide group by the Ugi reaction. FT-IR analysis confirmed the successful synthesis of the product through the change in the functional groups of reagents. Additionally, the crystalline structure and porosity of the samples were studied by XRD and BET techniques. After a detailed characterization, the curcumin (CUR) was loaded on CMC@MWCNTs and CMC@MWCNTs@FCA, respectively, about 29 % and 38 %. In vitro drug release behavior studies for CUR-loaded CMC@MWCNTs@FCA showed the controlled release for it, so 11.6 % and 76.5 % of CUR, respectively were released at pH 1.2 and pH 7.4. Toxicological analysis displayed the IC50 of CMC@MWCNTs@FCA@CUR is 752 μg/mL. In conclusion, the obtained findings display that the fabricated system can be proposed as a biocompatible carrier for specific colon cancer treatment.

Abstract
Curcumin has been reported to exhibit free radical antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities, which are beneficial for nutraceutical applications. However, its application for this purpose is limited by its poor water solubility, stability, and bioavailability. These problems can be overcome using food-grade colloidal particles that encapsulate, protect, and deliver curcumin. These colloidal particles can be assembled from structure-forming food components that may also exhibit protective effects, such as proteins, polysaccharides, and polyphenols. In this study, lactoferrin (LF), (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and hyaluronic acid (HA) were used to fabricate composite nanoparticles using a simple pH-shift method. We showed that curcumin could be successfully loaded into these LF-EGCG-HA nanoparticles (d = 145 nm). The encapsulation efficiency (86%) and loading capacity (5.8%) of curcumin within these nanoparticles were relatively high. Encapsulation improved the thermal, light, and storage stabilities of the curcumin. Moreover, the curcumin-loaded nanoparticles exhibited good redispersibility after dehydration. The in vitro digestion properties, cellular uptake, and anticancer effects of the curcumin-loaded nanoparticles were then explored. Compared to free curcumin, the bioaccessibility and cellular uptake of the curcumin were significantly improved after encapsulation in the nanoparticles. Furthermore, the nanoparticles significantly promoted the apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells. This study suggests that food-grade biopolymer nanoparticles can be used to improve the bioavailability and bioactivity of an important nutraceutical.

Abstract
The utilization of microcarriers is an effective technique to protect and slow down the release of active ingredients, while the combination of microcarriers and film materials is an important way to expand the application scenario of active ingredients. The aim of this study was to develop a simple and facile strategy for designing a multifunctional bilayer bioactive film that combines stable mechanical properties, sustained-release characteristics for active ingredients with good antioxidant and antibacterial properties. The EGCG-loaded chitosan active microspheres were prepared by sol-gel method, and then the carboxymethyl cellulose solution containing the active microspheres was assembled onto the carboxymethyl chitosan gel substrate based on intermolecular hydrogen bonding to construct a film with a stable bilayer structure. The results indicated that the bilayer film had dense microstructure and excellent mechanical strength (37.05 MPa), and exhibited UV-blocking properties and excellent gas barrier performance. Meanwhile, the loading of active ingredients (EGCG) in the microspheres enabled the bilayer film to exhibit excellent antioxidant and antibacterial properties, and the controlled release of EGCG by the film was sustainable and showed pH responsiveness. The results of this work provide a new perspective for the design and development of bio-based active packaging film with tunable functional characteristics.

Abstract
Biomass-derived materials with multiple features are seldom reported so far. Herein, new chitosan (CS) sponges with complementary functions for point-of-use healthcare applications were prepared by glutaraldehyde (GA) cross-linking and tested for antibacterial activity, antioxidant properties, and controlled delivery of plant-derived polyphenols. Their structural, morphological, and mechanical properties were thoroughly assessed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and uniaxial compression measurements, respectively. The main features of sponges were modulated by varying the CS concentration, cross-linking ratio, and gelation conditions (either cryogelation or room-temperature gelation). They exhibited complete water-triggered shape recovery after compression, remarkable antibacterial properties against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes)) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium)) strains, as well as good radical scavenging activity. The release profile of a plant-derived polyphenol, namely curcumin (CCM), was investigated at 37 °C in simulated gastrointestinal media. It was found that CCM release was dependent on the composition and the preparation strategy of sponges. By linearly fitting the CCM kinetic release data from the CS sponges with the Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetic models, a pseudo-Fickian diffusion release mechanism was predicted.

Abstract
Astaxanthin is a natural liposoluble ketocarotenoid with various biological activities. Hydrophobic astaxanthin with C2h symmetry can self-assembly form H-type aggregates and J-type aggregates in hydrated polar solvents. However, astaxanthin and its aggregates are limited by its water insolubility and chemical instability. Here, the biological macromolecules bovine serum albumin (BSA) and chitosan were chosen as protein-polysaccharides based delivery systems for astaxanthin aggregates by molecular self-assembly method. The precise prepared H-ABC-NPs and J-ABC-NPs suspensions were both near spheres with hydrodynamic size around 281 ± 9 nm and 368 ± 5 nm and zeta potentials around +26 mV and +30 mV, respectively. Two types of astaxanthin aggregates were distinguished, water-dispersible, and stable in nanocarriers through UV-vis spectra observation. The encapsulation efficiency of the astaxanthin in ABC-NPs was above 90 %. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and circular dichroism (CD) analyses indicated that the dominant driving forces of ABC-NPs formation mainly included electrostatic, hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding. These results offer an elegant opportunity for the protein-polysaccharides delivery systems, and provide an important perspective for applying novel water-dispersed astaxanthin aggregates products in nutrition and medicine industry.

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
Chitosan (CS)-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) are often stabilized by chemical cross-linking. A much more friendly approach to deliver drugs in a controlled manner is represented by polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) physically stabilized by spontaneous interactions between CS and natural or synthetic biocompatible polyanions. PECs with tunable structures, morphologies, and mechanical properties were fabricated in this paper by an innovative and sustainable strategy. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) or poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate sodium salt) were used as aqueous solutions, while CS microparticles were evenly dispersed in the polyanion solution, at pH 6.5, where CS was not soluble. Cryostructuration of the dispersion in two steps (5 min at −196 °C, and 24 h at −18 °C), and freeze-drying at −55 °C, 48 h, conducted to pre-PEC cryogels. Next step was rearrangement of complementary polyions and the complex formation inside the pore walls of cryogels by exposure of the pre-PECs at a source of H+. PEC cryogels with impressive elasticity and toughness were engineered in this study by multiple-cryostructuration steps using CMC as polyanion with a molar mass of 250 kDa and an optimum concentration of polyanion and polycation. The performances of PEC cryogels in sustained delivery of anti-inflammatory drugs such as curcumin were demonstrated.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR) has been reported to enhance the chemotherapeutic efficacy of oxaliplatin (OXA) in colorectal cancer (CRC) and inhibit OXA-induced side effects. However, shortcomings, including poor solubility and sensitivity to metabolic transformation, have greatly undermined its value in clinical applications. In this study, the potential of CUR-encapsulated hyaluronic acid (HA)-zein composite nanoparticles (HZ-CUR) as an oral adjuvant for OXA-based chemotherapy was assessed in representative CRC models in mice. Cell viability and colony formation assays in three human CRC cell lines showed that HZ-CUR had a stronger anti-CRC effect than free CUR when given alone and a stronger synergistic effect when combined with OXA, especially in HCT116 and HT29 cell lines. Western blotting, cellular uptake, and RNA interference assays revealed that OXA-induced upregulation of CD44 likely contributed to enhanced cellular uptake of HZ-CUR and thus the enhanced anticancer effect. The significantly improved anti-CRC effects and potential underlying mechanism of HZ-CUR alone and in combination with OXA were further validated in a subcutaneous xenograft and an in situ CRC model in mice. These findings support that HZ-CUR may be an effective oral adjuvant for OXA-based CRC chemotherapy that would not only improve its efficacy but also help reduce the associated side effects.
