Comprehensive analysis of oxidative stability and nutritional values of germinated linseed and sunflower seed oil. Food Chem 2024; 454:139790. [PMID: 38805931 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139790] [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: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
Germination of seeds is known to affect the nutritional composition of cold-pressed oils. This study focused on the effects of germination on the antioxidants and oxidative stability of linseed and sunflower seed oil. As hypothesized, germination led to increased antioxidant activities and tocopherol, chlorophyll and carotenoid content. Analysis revealed a 37.2 ± 3.5-fold and 11.6 ± 1.5-fold increase in polyphenol content in linseed and sunflower seed oil from germinated seeds, respectively. Using LC-HRMS/MS, profiles with up to 69 polyphenolic substances were identified in germinated seed oils for the first time. Germination promoted lipid hydrolysis, as evidenced by NMR, with overall significant decreases in triacylglycerol content leading to increased diacylglycerol and free fatty acid values. Rancimat measurements predicted a 4.10 ± 0.52-fold longer shelf-life for germinated linseed oil. This study successfully demonstrated the potential of germination to develop PUFA-rich oils with enhanced antioxidant capacity and oxidative stability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G), is an anthocyanin mainly found in berries, and can also be produced by microorganisms. It has been traditionally used as a natural coloring agent for decades. Recently, it has been investigated for its high antioxidant activity and anti-cancer attributes. C3G has low bioavailability and is sensitive to oxidation and gastric pH; therefore, it is encapsulated in nanoliposomes to enhance its bio-availability, targeted delivery- and efficacy against chronic disease. SCOPE AND APPROACH In this review, the role of C3G nanoliposomes against major chronic diseases has been discussed. The focus was on research findings and the mechanism of action to affect the proliferation of cancer, neuro disease and cardiovascular problems. It also discussed the formulation of nanoliposomes, their role in nutraceutical delivery and enhancement in C3G bioavailability. KEY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Data suggested that nanoliposomes safeguard C3G, enhance bioavailability, and ensure safe, adequate and targeted delivery. It can reduce the impact of cancer and inflammation by inhibiting the ß-catenin/O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) pathway and upregulating miR-214-5p. Formation of C3G nanoliposomes significantly enhances the nutraceutical efficacy of C3G against major chronic disease therefore, C3G nanoliposomes might be a future-based nutraceutical to treat major chronic diseases, including cancer, neuro problems and CVD, but challenges remain in finding correct dose and techniques to maximize its efficacy.

Abstract
Sterol derivatives are a crucial part of liposomes, as their concentration and nature can induce significant alternations in their characteristic features. For natural liposomal-based (phospholipid-based) studies, the bulk literature is already present depicting the role of the concentration or nature of different sterol derivatives in modulation of membrane properties. However, the studies aiming at evaluating the effect of sterol derivatives on synthetic liposomal assemblies are limited to cholesterol (Chl), and a comparative effect with other sterol derivatives, such as ergosterol (Erg), has never been studied. To fill this research gap, through this work, we intend to provide insights into the concentration-dependent effect of two sterol derivatives (Chl and Erg) on a synthetic liposomal assembly (i.e., metallosomes) prepared via thin film hydration route using a double-tailed metallosurfactant fabricated by modifying cetylpyridinium chloride with cobalt (Co) (i.e., Co:CPC II). The morphological evaluations with cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) indicated that metallosomes retained their spherical morphology irrespective of the nature and concentration of sterol derivatives. However, the size, ζ-potential, and lamellar width values were significantly modified with the incorporation of sterol derivatives in a concentration-dependent manner. In-depth studies affirmed that the extent of modulation of the bilayer in terms of hydrophobicity, fluidity, and rigidity was more severe with Chl than Erg. Such differences in the membrane properties lead to their contrasting behavior in the delivery of the broad-spectrum active compound "curcumin". From entrapment to in vitro behavior, the metallosomes demonstrated dissimilar behavior as even though Erg-modified metallosomes (at higher concentrations of Erg) exhibited low entrapment efficiency, they still could easily release >80% of the entrapped drug. In vitro studies conducted with Staphylococcus aureus bacterial cultures further revealed an interesting pattern of activity as the incorporation of Chl reduced the toxicity of the self-assembly, whereas their Erg-modified counterparts yielded slightly augmented toxicity toward these bacterial cells. Furthermore, Chl- and Erg-modified assemblies also exhibited contrasting behavior in their interaction studies with bacterial DNA.

Abstract
An injectable hydrogel formulation is developed utilizing low- and high-molecular-weight chitosan (LCH and HCH) incorporated with curcumin and α-tocopherol-loaded liposomes (Lip/Cur+Toc). Cur and Toc releases are delayed within the hydrogels. The injectability of hydrogels is proved via rheological analyses. In vitro studies are conducted using human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) and human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) to examine the biological performance of the hydrogels toward endodontics and periodontics, respectively. The viability of hDPSCs treated with the hydrogels with Lip/Cur+Toc is the highest till day 14, compared to the neat hydrogels. During odontogenic differentiation tests, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzyme activity of hDPSCs is induced in the Cur-containing groups. Biomineralization is enhanced mostly with Lip/Cur+Toc incorporation. The viability of hGFs is the highest in HCH combined with Lip/Cur+Toc while wound healing occurs almost 100% in both (Lip/Cur+Toc@LCH and Lip/Cur+Toc@HCH) after 2 days. Antioxidant activity of Lip/Cur+Toc@LCH on hGFs is significantly the highest among the groups. Antimicrobial tests demonstrate that Lip/Cur+Toc@LCH is more effective against Escherichia coli whereas so is Lip/Cur+Toc@HCH against Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial mechanism of the hydrogels is investigated for the first time through various computational models. LCH and HCH loaded with Lip/Cur+Toc are promising candidates with multi-functional features for endodontics and periodontics.

Abstract
The fragile membranes of liposomes limit their application by the food industry. In this study, we hypothesized that interactions between fatty acids with different chain lengths and phospholipids might enhance liposome stability. Decanoic acid modified liposomes (Lipo-DA) and stearic acid modified liposomes (Lipo-SA) were fabricated for encapsulation of hydrophilic peptides. Fluorescence spectroscopy and FTIR analysis showed molecular interactions existed between alkyl chains and phospholipids, resulting in greater compactness and hydrophobicity of the membranes in Lipo-DA and Lipo-SA. This led to a reduction in melting point characterized by differential scanning calorimetry analysis. Lipo-DA and Lipo-SA could delay the release of hydrophilic peptides compared with unmodified liposomes in simulated digestion. Moreover, Lipo-DA showed better stability during storage, while Lipo-SA exhibited precipitation, resulting in the lowest peptide retention. Our study showed that decanoic acid is suitable to enhance the stability of liposomes, although this approach has yet to be tested in food products.

Abstract
Astaxanthin was encapsulated in liposomes by a thin layer dispersion and ultrasound method using soybean phospholipid. The digestion properties of liposomes for encapsulating astaxanthin were investigated in light of particle size, size distribution, zeta potential, and microstructure during in vitro digestion as a function of time. These results exhibited that the average particle size increased gradually with liposomal vesicles retained round shapes and a fairly uniform distribution after passage through the simulated gastric fluid digestion. The result revealed that astaxanthin-loaded liposomes were stable in low pH conditions. It was also found that the mixed micelles formed in a simulated intestinal fluid. The zeta potential of astaxanthin-loaded liposomes had a decrease in negativity after digestion. In comparison with free astaxanthin, there was an appreciable increase in the bioaccessibility of astaxanthin after encapsulation in liposomes. This enhancement can be attributed to more soluble astaxanthin in the mixed micelles for astaxanthin-loaded liposomes. It indicated that the barrier of the liposomal bilayer could inhibit astaxanthin fading and leaking after encapsulation in liposomes. These results provide useful information for designing more stable delivery systems in the gastrointestinal tract and improving the bioaccessibility of lipophilic nutraceuticals.

Abstract
This study prepared osteogenic peptides (OPs) from cod meat by hydrolysis and subsequently encapsulated them in nanoliposomes (NLP) to enhance bioaccessibility. The characterization, stability, controlled release behavior and bioactivity of OPs-loaded nanoliposomes (OPs-NLP) were investigated as well. The highest loading capacity (27.32%) was achieved in NLP loaded with 6 mg/mL of OPs. The particle size, zeta potential, and encapsulation efficiency of OPs-NLP were 70.59 nm, -11.98 mV, and 75.24%, respectively. The interaction between OPs and empty NLP was through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic. The OPs-NLP showed the greatest stability during storage at 4 °C. The in vitro release profile of OPs from OPs-NLP fitted a one-level kinetic model best. The osteogenic activity of OPs was unaffected by NLP encapsulation, and the bioaccessibility of OPs was notably improved. These findings suggest that OPs-NLP has the potential to be used in functional foods.

Abstract
Oral probiotic therapy has become an increasingly attractive method for treating various diseases, including intestinal barrier dysfunction, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and colorectal cancer due to its safety and convenience. However, only a few probiotics after oral gavage can survive the acidic and bile salt conditions of the gastrointestinal tract and colonize the colon to have a nutritional effect on the host. To address these challenges, encapsulation technology has been applied to protect probiotics from harsh gastrointestinal conditions, improve gut adhesion, and reduce immunogenicity. In addition, some of the functional polysaccharides are used to endow probiotics with exogenous functions as prebiotics. In this review, we systematically introduced the advancements of emerging single-cell modification strategies for probiotics in IBD applications. Additionally, we discussed the limitations and perspectives of single-cell modification strategies for probiotics. This review contributed to the development of probiotic delivery systems with higher therapeutic efficacy against colitis.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to activate autophagy in hepatocellular carcinoma for the enhancement of its cellular degradation. Liposomes incorporated chitosan in the core used to improve the stability of lecithin and increase the niacin loading efficiency. Additionally, curcumin as a hydrophobic molecule entrapped into liposomal layers and used as a face layer to minimize the release of niacin in physiological pH 7.2. Folic acid-conjugated chitosan was used to facilitate the delivery of liposomes into a specific location of cancer cells. TEM, UV Visible spectrophotometer, and FTIR confirmed the successful liposomal formation and good encapsulation efficiency. Based on the cellular proliferation of HePG2, the results revealed that there was a significant inhibition of growth rate of HePG2 after 48 h of incubation at a concentration of 100 μg/mL by 91 % ± 1 %, P ≤ 0.002 (pure niacin), 55 % ± 3 %, P ≤ 0.001 (pure curcumin), 83 % ± 1.5 %, P ≤ 0.001 (niacin NPs), and 51 % ± 1.5 % P ≤ 0.0001 (curcumin-niacin NPs) of relative to the control. Increasingly, The expression of mRNA of mTOR was significantly increased by 0.72 ± 0.08 P ≤ 0.001, 1 ± 0.1, 0. P ≤ 0.001, 5 ± 0.07 P ≤ 0.01, and 1.3 ± 0.02 P ≤ 0.001 folds) in pure niacin, pure curcumin, niacin NPs and curcumin -niacin NPs, respectively, relative to the control with an expression of 0.3 ± 0.08. Additionally, the expression of p62 mRNA was significantly increased by 0.92 ± 0.07 P ≤ 0.05, 1.7 ± 0.07 P ≤ 0.0001, 0.72 ± 0.08 P ≤ 0.5, and 2.1 ± 0.1 P ≤ 0.0001 folds relative to that of the control with an expression of 0.72 ± 0.08. The results highlight the efficient therapies of biomaterials derived from natural sources that can be used in cancer therapies instead of traditional chemotherapies.

Abstract
Contaminations of pathogenic and spoilage microbes on foods are threatening food safety and quality, highlighting the importance of developing antimicrobial agents. According to different working mechanisms, the antimicrobial activities of yeast-based agents were summarized from two aspects: antagonism and encapsulation. Antagonistic yeasts are usually applied as biocontrol agents for the preservation of fruits and vegetables via inactivating spoilage microbes, usually phytopathogens. This review systematically summarized various species of antagonistic yeasts, potential combinations to improve the antimicrobial efficiency, and the antagonistic mechanisms. The wide applications of the antagonistic yeasts are significantly limited by undesirable antimicrobial efficiency, poor environmental resistance, and a narrow antimicrobial spectrum. Another strategy for achieving effective antimicrobial activity is to encapsulate various chemical antimicrobial agents into a yeast-based carrier that has been previously inactivated. This is accomplished by immersing the dead yeast cells with porous structure in an antimicrobial suspension and applying high vacuum pressure to allow the agents to diffuse inside the yeast cells. Typical antimicrobial agents encapsulated in the yeast carriers have been reviewed, including chlorine-based biocides, antimicrobial essential oils, and photosensitizers. Benefiting from the existence of the inactive yeast carrier, the antimicrobial efficiencies and functional durability of the encapsulated antimicrobial agents, such as chlorine-based agents, essential oils, and photosensitizers, are significantly improved compared with the unencapsulated ones.

Abstract
Betalains are plant pigments characterized by showing a wide range of beneficial properties for health. Its bioactive potential has been studied for the first time after its encapsulation in liposomes and subsequent administration to the animal model Caenorhabditis elegans. Phenylalanine-betaxanthin and indoline carboxylic acid-betacyanin encapsulated at concentrations of 25 and 500 μM managed to reduce lipid accumulation and oxidative stress in the nematodes. Highly antioxidant betalains dopaxanthin and betanidin were also included in the survival analyses. The results showed that phenylalanine-betaxanthin was the most effective betalain by increasing the lifespan of C. elegans by 21.8%. In addition, the administration of encapsulated natural betanidin increased the nematodes' survival rate by up to 13.8%. The preservation of the bioactive properties of betalains manifested in this study means that the stabilization of the plant pigments through encapsulation in liposomes can be postulated as a new way for administration in pharmacological and food applications.

Abstract
Liposomes have been received much attention during the past decades as bioactive compounds carriers in food field. However, the application of liposomes is extremely limited by the structural instability during processing such as freeze-drying. In addition, the protection mechanism of lyoprotectant for liposomes during freeze-drying remains controversial. In this study, lactose, fructooligosaccharide, inulin and sucrose were used as lyoprotectants for liposomes and the physicochemical properties, structural stability and freeze-drying protection mechanism were explored. The addition of oligosaccharides could significantly suppress the changes in size and zeta potential, and the amorphous state of liposomes was negligible changed from XRD. The Tg of the four oligosaccharides, especially for sucrose (69.50 °C) and lactose (95.67 °C), revealed the freeze-dried liposomes had formed vitrification matrix, which could prevent liposomes from fusion via increasing the viscosity and reducing membrane mobility. The decrease in Tm of sucrose (147.67 °C) and lactose (181.67 °C), and the changes in functional group of phospholipid and hygroscopic capacity of lyophilized liposomes indicated oligosaccharides replaced water molecules to interact with phospholipids by hydrogen bonds. It can be concluded that the protection mechanism of sucrose and lactose as lyoprotectant was attributed to the combination of vitrification theory and water replacement hypothesis, while the water replacement hypothesis was dominated by fructooligosaccharide and inulin.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by inadequate insulin secretion and signaling dysfunction, leading to a vast spectrum of systemic complications. These complications trigger cascades of events that result in amyloid-beta plaque formation and lead to neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's. Repaglinide (REP) an insulinotropic agent, suppresses the down regulatory element antagonist modulator (DREAM) and enhances the ATF6 expression to provide neuroprotection following the DREAM/ATF6/apoptotic pathway. However, oral administration of REP for brain delivery becomes more complicated due to its physicochemical characteristics (high protein binding (>98%), low permeability, short half-life (∼1 h), low bioavailability). Therefore, to circumvent these problems, we develop a polymeric nanocarrier system (PNPs) by in-house synthesized di-block copolymer (PEG-PCL). PNPs were optimized using quality by design approach response surface methodology and characterized by particle size (112.53 ± 5.91 nm), PDI (0.157 ± 0.08), and zeta potential (-6.20 ± 0.82 mV). In vitro release study revealed that PNPs (∼70% in 48 h) followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas model with a Fickian diffusion release pattern, and in intestinal absorption assay PNPs showed increment of ∼1.3 folds compared of REP. Moreover, cellular studies confirmed that REP-loaded PNPs significantly enhance the cellular viability, uptake and reduce the peroxide-induced stress in neuroblastoma SHSY-5Y cells. Further, pharmacokinetic parameters of PNPs showed an increment in tmax (2.46-fold), and Cmax (1.25-fold) associated with REP. In the brain biodistribution study, REP loaded PNPs was sustained for 24 h whereas free REP sustained only for12 h. In DM induced neurodegenerative murine model, a significantly (p < 0.01) enhanced pharmacodynamic was observed in PNP treated group by estimating biochemical and behavioral parameters. Hence, oral administration of REP-loaded PNPs promotes efficient brain uptake and improved efficacy of REP in the diseased model.

Abstract
Introduction: A common problem in bone tissue engineering is that the burst release of active osteogenic factors is not beneficial for osteogenesis. This study aimed to prepare naringin (Ng) liposomes to reduce the burst release of Ng and improve new bone formation. Methods: We synthesized Ng liposomes using the thin-film hydration method. Drug-encapsulation efficacy experiments were conducted using the ultracentrifugation technique. The morphology and size distributions of freezedried liposomes were determined by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. The Ng liposomes and Ng-lipo/sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB) depots were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and in vitro release studies. After implantation of the Ng-lipo/SAIB depots, in vitro osteoblast-liposome interactions and in vivo osteogenesis were tested. Results: The formulation of freeze-dried Ng liposomes via an optimized recipe yielded nanosized (136.9 nm) negatively charged particles with a high encapsulation efficiency (~76.3%). Their chemical structure did not change after adding SAIB to the Ng liposomes. The burst release was reduced dramatically from 74.4% to 23.7%. In vivo, after 8 weeks, the new bone formation rate in the calvarial defects of Sprague-Dawley rats receiving Ng-lipo/SAIB was 57% compared with 25.18% in the control group (p = .0003). Discussion: Our results suggested that Ng-lipo/SAIB hybrid depots could serve as candidate materials for drug delivery in bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
The most commonly used vesicular systems in the food industry include liposomes, niosomes, phytosomes, or transfersomes. This review focuses on showing how nano-vesicular carriers (NVCs) amend the properties of bioactive compounds (bioactives), making them suitable for food applications, especially functional foods. In this research, we elaborate on the question of whether bioactive-loaded NVCs affect various food aspects such as their antioxidant capacity, or sensory properties. This review also shows how NVCs improve the long-term release profile of bioactives during storage and at different pH values. Besides, the refinement of digestibility and bioaccessibility of diverse bioactives through NVCs in the gastrointestinal tract is elucidated. NVCs allow for stable vesicle formation (e.g. from anthocyanins) which reduces their cytotoxicity and proliferation of cancer cells, prolongs the release bioactives (e.g. d-limonene) with no critical burst, reduces the biofilm formation capacity of both Gram-positive/negative strains and their biofilm gene expression is down-regulated (in the case of tannic acid), low oxidation (e.g. iron) is endured when exposed to simulated gastric fluid, and unpleasant smell and taste are masked (in case of omega-3 fatty acids). After the incorporation of bioactive-loaded NVCs into food products, their antioxidant capacity is enhanced, maintaining high encapsulation efficiency and enduring pasteurization conditions, and they are not distinguished from control samples in sensory evaluation despite the reverse situation about free bioactives.

Abstract
This study was conducted to develop a lipid/clay-based solid dispersion (LSD) formulation to enhance the dissolution and oral bioavailability of poorly soluble curcumin. Krill oil and aminoclay were used as a lipid and a stabilizer, respectively, and LSD formulations of curcumin were prepared by an antisolvent precipitation method combined with freeze-drying process. Based on the dissolution profiles, the optimal composition of LSD was determined at the weight ratio of curcumin: krill oil: aminoclay of 1:5:5 in the presence of 0.5% of D-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol succinate. The structural and morphological characteristics of the LSD formulation were determined using X-ray powder diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy. Crystalline curcumin was changed to an amorphous form in the LSD formulation. At the pH of acidic to neutral, the LSD formulation showed almost complete drug dissolution (>90%) within 1 h, while pure curcumin exhibited minimal dissolution of less than 10%. Furthermore, the LSD formulation had significantly improved oral absorption of curcumin in rats, where Cmax and AUC of curcumin were 13- and 23-fold higher for the LSD formulation than for the pure drug. Taken together, these findings suggest that the krill oil-based solid dispersion formulation of curcumin effectively improves the dissolution and oral bioavailability of curcumin.

Abstract
Active ingredients of Chinese medicine (AIFCM) are pharmacological substances taken from traditional Chinese medicine that show promise in treating gastrointestinal cancer. Compared with traditional chemotherapeutic drugs, AIFCM have advantages such as multi-target and multi-level treatment
of gastrointestinal cancer. Nanocarriers have the following advantages, better bioavailability, passive or active targeting of tumor sites and responsive release of drugs. The use of nanocarriers for delivery of AIFCM in treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, can overcome the disadvantages
of some AIFCM, such as insolubility and low bioavailability. In this review, we first outline the background on gastrointestinal cancer, main curative factors and conventional therapeutic approaches. Then, the mechanisms for AIFCM in gastrointestinal cancer therapy are presented in the following
four aspects: gene regulation, immune modulation, cellular pathway transduction, and alteration of intestinal flora. Thirdly, preparation of various nanocarriers and results when combining AIFCM in gastrointestinal cancer are presented. Fourth, application of novel targeted nanocarriers and
responsive nanocarriers in gastrointestinal tumors is further introduced. Finally, the application of AIFCM in the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer is summarized and prospected, hoping to shed some light on the nanocarrier-bound AIFCM in the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study the potential of liposomes as a vitamin E (VE) and β-carotene (βC) delivery system was examined. The co-encapsulated liposomes of βC and VE (L-VE-βC) were prepared and characterized. Their antioxidant properties were evaluated by free radical scavenging activities of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), hydroxyl radical and lipid peroxidation assay. The in vitro sustained release behaviour was then investigated and discussed. RESULTS VE and βC were co-encapsulated in liposomes with high encapsulation efficiency, up to 92.49% and 86.16% for βC and VE, respectively. The antioxidant activities of L-VE-βC samples were significantly higher than that of single loaded liposome. Among different ratios of VE/βC, L-VE-βC at 5:3 exhibited the highest radical scavenging rates, with 66.80%, 56.58% and 34.39% for DPPH, ABTS and OH radical, respectively. L-VE-βC samples also had a good ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation, especially the sample with ratios of VE/βC at 5:3 and 3:1. In simulated gastrointestinal release, L-VE-βC exhibited an excellent sustained release behaviour in SGF with the accumulated rate at about 20%, while the release rate in SIF increased to over 80%, where they should be absorbed. The release kinetics analysis indicated that βC was released in the Higuchi model in stomach, and the Korsmeyr-Peppas model in intestine. CONCLUSION Compared to single loaded liposomes, the combined-loaded liposomes exhibited higher antioxidant activity and bioavailability, suggesting the potential applications in functional foods. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in clinical inpatients, and it continues a high morbidity and mortality rate despite many clinical treatment measures. AKI is triggered by infections, surgery, heavy metal exposure and drug side effects, but current chemical drugs often fall short of expectations for AKI treatment and have toxic side effects. Therefore, finding new interventions and treatments, especially of natural origin, is of remarkable clinical significance and application. The herbal monomer curcumin is a natural phenolic compound extracted from the plant Curcuma longa and showed various biological activities, including AKI. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that curcumin restores renal function by modulating the immune system and the release of inflammatory mediators, scavenging oxygen free radicals, reducing apoptosis and improving mitochondrial dynamics. However, curcumin has a low bioavailability, which limits its clinical application. For this reason, it is essential to investigate the therapeutic effects and molecular mechanisms of curcumin in AKI, as well as to improve its bioavailability for curcumin formulation development and clinical application. PURPOSE This review summarizes the sources, pharmacokinetics, and limitations in the clinical application of curcumin and explores methods to optimize its bioavailability using nanotechnology. In particular, the therapeutic effects and molecular mechanisms of curcumin on AKI are highlighted to provide a theoretical basis for AKI treatment in clinical practices. METHODS This review was specifically searched by means of a search of three databases (Web of Science, PubMed and Science Direct), till December 2021. Search terms were "Curcumin", "Acute kidney injury", "AKI", " Pharmacokinetics", "Mitochondria" and "Nano formulations". The retrieved data followed PRISMA criteria (preferred reporting items for systematic review) RESULTS: Studies have shown that curcumin responded to AKI-induced renal injury and restored renal tubular epithelial cell function by affecting multiple signaling pathways in AKI models induced by factors such as cisplatin, lipopolysaccharide, ischemia/reperfusion, gentamicin and potassium dichromate. Curcumin was able to affect NF-κB signaling pathway and reduce the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α, thus preventing renal inflammatory injury. In the prevention of renal tubular oxidative damage, curcumin reduced ROS production by activating the activity of Nrf2, HO-1 and PGC-1α. In addition, curcumin restored mitochondrial homeostasis by upregulating OPA1 and downregulating DRP1 expression, while reducing apoptosis by inhibiting the caspase-3 apoptotic pathway. In addition, due to the low bioavailability and poor absorption of curcumin in vivo, curcumin nanoformulations including nanoparticles, liposomes, and polymeric micelles are formulated to improve the bioavailability. CONCLUSION This review provides new ideas for the use of curcumin in the prevention and treatment of AKI by modulating the molecular targets of several different cellular signaling pathways.

Abstract
Increasing awareness of the health benefits of specific constituents in fruits, vegetables, cereals, and other whole foods has sparked a broader interest in the potential health benefits of nutraceuticals. Many nutraceuticals are hydrophobic substances, which means they must be encapsulated in colloidal delivery systems. Oil-in-water emulsions are one of the most widely used delivery systems for improving the bioavailability and bioactivity of these nutraceuticals. The composition and structure of emulsions can be designed to improve the water dispersibility, physicochemical stability, and bioavailability of the encapsulated nutraceuticals. The nature of the emulsion used influences the interfacial area and properties of the nutraceutical-loaded oil droplets in the gastrointestinal tract, which influences their digestion, as well as the bioaccessibility, metabolism, and absorption of the nutraceuticals. In this article, we review recent in vitro and in vivo studies on the utilization of emulsions to improve the bioavailability of nutraceuticals. The findings from this review should facilitate the design of more efficacious nutraceutical-loaded emulsions with increased bioactivity.

Formulation, Characterization, and In Vitro/In Vivo Efficacy Studies of a Novel Liposomal Drug Delivery System of Amphiphilic Jaspine B for Treatment of Synovial Sarcoma. Mar Drugs 2022; 20:md20080509. [PMID: 36005512 PMCID: PMC9410108 DOI: 10.3390/md20080509] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2022] [Revised: 08/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Sphingomyelin is a cell membrane sphingolipid that is upregulated in synovial sarcoma (SS). Jaspine B has been shown to inhibit sphingomyelin synthase, which synthesizes sphingomyelin from ceramide, a critical signal transducer; however, jaspine B’s low bioavailability limits its application as a promising treatment option. To address this shortcoming, we used microfluidics to develop a liposomal delivery system with increased anticancer efficacy. The nano-liposome size was determined by transmission electron microscopy. The jaspine B liposome was tested for its tumor inhibitory efficacy compared to plain jaspine B in in vitro and in vivo studies. The human SS cell line was tested for cell viability using varying jaspine B concentrations. In a mouse model of SS, tumor growth suppression was evaluated during four weeks of treatment (3 times/week). The results show that jaspine B was successfully formulated in the liposomes with a size ranging from 127.5 ± 61.2 nm. The MTT assay and animal study results indicate that jaspine B liposomes dose-dependently lowers cell viability in the SS cell line and effectively suppresses tumor cell growth in the SS animal model. The novel liposome drug delivery system addresses jaspine B’s low bioavailability issues and improves its therapeutic efficacy.

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

Abstract
This study, nanoscale α-, β-, γ-cyclodextrin (CD)-metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were successfully prepared using solvothermal assisted ultrasound method. CD-MOFs were used as nanocarriers to encapsulate catechin (CA), and their encapsulation capacities were evaluated. Encapsulation capacities of CD-MOFs to incorporate CA followed the order: β-CD-MOFs > γ-CD-MOFs > α-CD-MOFs. CA/CD-MOFs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). DSC and SEM results provided evidence for the formation of CA/CD-MOFs. XRD results indicated the new solid crystalline phases formed in CA/CD-MOFs complex. Results of FT-IR showed that CA was combined with CD-MOFs through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. Current research demonstrated that encapsulation of CA within CD-MOFs provided it against light, oxygen and temperature. Moreover, encapsulation by CD-MOFs improved storage stability and bioavailability of CA. Thus, these CA/CD-MOFs have potential to be used as nutritional supplements and functional foods.

Abstract
Polyguluronate (PG) consists entirely of α-L-guluronic acid derived from alginate, which is an acidic polysaccharide extracted from brown algae. PG has a short half-life and is easily degraded by microorganisms, resulting in decreased activity and thus its application in the medical field. In this study, polyguluronate liposomes (PGLs) were prepared to improve the macrophage-stimulating activity of PG. The morphology, encapsulation efficiency, particle size distribution, zeta potential and stability of the PGLs were characterized. Results showed that PGLs were uniformly round with an encapsulation efficiency of 77.76 ± 0.89%, a particle size of 63.96 ± 3.98 nm and a zeta potential of -53.4 ± 1.75 mV. The stability studies showed that PGLs should be stored in a neutral environment at 4 °C. The macrophage-stimulating activity of PGLs was better than that of PG. This study provides a promising carrier for the further application of PG in food or medicine.

Inulin-Modified Liposomes as a Novel Delivery System for Cinnamaldehyde. Foods 2022; 11:foods11101467.

Abstract
Cinnamaldehyde as an antioxidant was encapsulated in inulin-modified nanoliposomes in order to improve its physical and antioxidant stability. The microstructure, particle size and volume distribution of cinnamaldehyde liposomes were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The particle size and polydispersion index (PDI) values of the inulin modified liposomes were 72.52 ± 0.71 nm and 0.223 ± 0.031, respectively. The results showed that the liposomes after surface modification with inulin remained spherical. Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra analysis showed that hydrogen bonds were formed between the inulin and the liposome membrane. Inulin binding also restricted the freedom of movement of lipid molecules and enhanced the order of the hydrophobic core of the membrane and the polar headgroup region in lipid molecules. Therefore, the addition of different concentrations of inulin influenced the permeability of the liposome bilayer membrane. However, when inulin was excessive, the capacity of the bilayer membrane to load the cinnamaldehyde was reduced, and the stability of the system was reduced. Additionally, the encapsulation efficiency (EE) and retention rate (RR) of cinnamaldehyde from inulin-modified liposomes during storage were determined. The EE value of the inulin modified liposomes was 70.71 ± 0.53%. The liposomes with 1.5% inulin concentration had the highest retention rate (RR) and the smallest particle size during storage at 4 °C. The addition of inulin also enhanced the thermal stability of the liposomes. Based on the results, the surface modification improved the oxidation stability of liposomes, especially the DPPH scavenging ability. In conclusion, these results might help to develop inulin as a potential candidate for the effective modification of the surface of liposomes and provide data and conclusions for it.

Abstract
Curcumin, due to its antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antitumoral activity, has attracted huge attention in applications in many fields such as pharmacy, medicine, nutrition, cosmetics, and biotechnology. The stability of curcumin-based products and preservation of antioxidant properties are still challenges in practical applications. Stability and antioxidant properties were studied for curcumin encapsulated in O/W microemulsion systems and three related gel microemulsions. Only biodegradable and biocompatible ingredients were used for carriers: grape seed oil as oily phase, Tween 80, and Plurol® Diisostearique CG as a surfactant mix, and ethanol as a co-solvent. For the gel microemulsions, water-soluble polymers, namely Carbopol® 980 NF, chitosan, and sodium hyaluronate were used. The influence of UVC irradiation and heat treatment on the degradation kinetics of curcumin in the formulations was studied. Because of the antioxidant character of the microemulsion oily phase, the possibility of a synergistic effect between grape seed oil and curcumin was explored. In this study, the high efficiency of the studied drug delivery systems to ensure protection from external degradative factors was confirmed. Also, the influence of the encapsulation in microemulsion and derived gel microemulsion systems on the antioxidant capacity curcumin was studied, and a synergistic effect with vegetal oil was demonstrated.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA), as a hygroscopic and biocompatible molecule, has displayed unique permeation enhancement in transdermal delivery systems. Hence, indomethacin (IND) was encapsulated in HA-modified transfersomes (IND-HTs) to enhance transdermal IND delivery to reduce adverse effects in this study. The physiochemical properties of IND-HTs were characterized. Results showed that the prepared IND-HTs were spherical and revealed good entrapment efficiency (87.88 ± 2.03%), with a nanometric particle size (221.8 ± 93.34 nm). Then, IND-HTs were further incorporated into a carbopol 940 hydrogel (IND-HTs/Gel) to prolong retention capacity on the skin. The in vitro release and skin permeation experiments of IND-HTs/Gel were carried out with the Franz diffusion cells. It was found that IND-HTs/Gel exhibited sustained drug release, as well as superior drug permeation and flux across the skin. Confocal laser scanning microscopy showed improved penetration of HTs/Gel with a wider distribution and higher fluorescence intensity. The hematoxylin–eosin stained showed that HA improved the transdermal effect by changing the microstructure of skin layers and decreasing skin barrier function. In addition, IND-HTs/Gel showed significant analgesic activity in hot plate test and no potentially hazardous skin irritation. This study indicated that the developed IND-HTs/Gel could be a promising alternative to conventional oral delivery of IND by topical administration.

Intranasal drug transport through the olfactory route to the brain is an effective drug route for increased absorption and bioavailability of the drug. The objective of this study was to increase the penetration of valproic acid as an anticonvulsant into a delivery system comprising liposomes. Valproic acid liposomes were prepared by a thin-layer hydration technique using soybean phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol as the main ingredients. The formulations were evaluated for diameter size, entrapment efficiency (EE), zeta potential, polydispersity index, and morphology. ex vivo permeation using sheep nasal mucosa and in vivo efficacy were assessed by performing a pharmacokinetic study in Wistar albino rats following intranasal administration of the formulations in comparison with pure drug. The mean size particle of optimized liposomes ranged from 90 to 210 nm with a low polydispersity index (<0.5). The EE of optimized liposomes was between 60% and 85%, increasing the concentration of phosphatidylcholine added to the formula. Transmission electron microscopy observations (40,000×) showed that valproic acid liposomes have a spherical molecular shape and a particle size of below 250 nm. The ex vivo and in vivo results showed that liposomal formulations provided enhanced brain exposure. Among the formulations studied, Formula 4 (F4) showed greater uptake of valproic acid into the brain than plasma. The high brain targeting efficiency index for F4 indicated the preferential transport of the drug to the brain. The study demonstrated the successful formulation of surface-modified valproic acid liposomes for nasal delivery with brain targeting potential.

Abstract
Oral cancer is one of the most common malignancies with an increased rate of incidence. 5-Fluorouracil (5FU) is an effective chemotherapeutic indicated for oral cancer treatment. Etodolac (Et), a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, can be used as an adjuvant agent to sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapy. The aim of this work was to prepare and characterize 5FU and Et dual drug-loaded transfersomes to treat oral cancer. Transfersomes were prepared by thin-film hydration method and characterized for the average particle size and zeta-potential using dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The prepared transfersomes were further characterized for their drug loading, entrapment efficiencies using amicon centrifuge tubes and drug release behavior using cellulose membrane. The synergistic activity of dual drug-loaded transfersomes was studied in FaDu oral cancer cells. Results showed that the average particle size, polydispersity index, and zeta potential were 91±6.4 nm, 0.28±0.03, and (-)46.9±9.5 mV, respectively, for 5FU- and Et (1:1)-loaded transfersomes. The highest encapsulation efficiency achieved was 36.9±3.8% and 79.8±6.4% for 5FU and Et (1:1), respectively. Growth inhibition studies in FaDu cells using different concentrations of 5FU and Et showed a combination index of 0.36, indicating a synergistic effect. The FaDu cell uptake of drug-loaded transfersomes was significantly (p<0.05) greater than that of free drugs. The transfersome hydrogel made of HPMC (2% w/w) showed similar flux, lag time, and permeation coefficient as that of drug-loaded transfersomes across excised porcine buccal tissue. In conclusion, 5FU and Et transfersome hydrogel can be developed for localized delivery to treat oral cancer.

Abstract
Pluronic (PEO-PPO-PEO) block copolymers can form nano-sized micelles with a structure composed of a hydrophobic PPO core and hydrophilic PEO shell layer. Pluronics are U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved polymers, which are widely used for solubilization of drugs and their delivery, gene/therapeutic delivery, diagnostics, and tissue engineering applications due to their non-ionic properties, non-toxicity, micelle forming ability, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Although Pluronics have been employed as drug carrier systems for several decades, numerous issues such as rapid dissolution, shorter residence time in biological media, fast clearance and weak mechanical strength have hindered their efficacy. Pluronics have been functionalized with pH-sensitive, biological-responsive moieties, antibodies, aptamers, folic acid, drugs, different nanoparticles, and photo/thermo-responsive hydrogels. These functionalization strategies enable Pluronics to act as stimuli responsive and targeted drug delivery vehicles. Moreover, Pluronics have emerged in nano-emulsion formulations and have been utilized to improve the properties of cubosomes, dendrimers and nano-sheets, including their biocompatibility and aqueous solubility. Functionalization of Pluronics results in the significant improvement of target specificity, loading capacity, biocompatibility of nanoparticles and stimuli responsive hydrogels for the promising delivery of a range of drugs. Therefore, this review presents an overview of all advancements (from the last 15 years) in functionalized Pluronics, providing a valuable tool for industry and academia in order to optimize their use in drug or therapeutic delivery, in addition to several other biomedical applications.

Design of Hybrid Polymeric-Lipid Nanoparticles Using Curcumin as a Model: Preparation, Characterization, and In Vitro Evaluation of Demethoxycurcumin and Bisdemethoxycurcumin-Loaded Nanoparticles. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13234207. [PMID: 34883709 PMCID: PMC8659538 DOI: 10.3390/polym13234207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2021] [Revised: 11/13/2021] [Accepted: 11/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Polymeric lipid hybrid nanoparticles (PLHNs) are the new generation of drug delivery systems that has emerged as a combination of a polymeric core and lipid shell. We designed and optimized a simple method for the preparation of Pluronic F-127-based PLHNs able to load separately demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and bisdemethoycurcumin (BDM). CUR was used as a model compound due to its greater availability from turmeric and its structure similarity with DMC and BDM. The developed method produced DMC and BDM-loaded PLHNs with a size average of 75.55 ± 0.51 and 15.13 ± 0.014 nm for DMC and BDM, respectively. An FT-IR analysis confirmed the encapsulation and TEM images showed their spherical shape. Both formulations achieved an encapsulation efficiency ≥ 92% and an exhibited significantly increased release from the PLHN compared with free compounds in water. The antioxidant activity was enhanced as well, in agreement with the improvement in water dissolution; obtaining IC50 values of 12.74 ± 0.09 and 16.03 ± 0.55 for DMC and BDM-loaded PLHNs, respectively, while free curcuminoids exhibited considerably lower antioxidant values in an aqueous solution. Hence, the optimized PHLN synthesis method using CUR as a model and then successfully applied to obtain DMC and BDM-loaded PLHNs can be extended to curcuminoids and molecules with a similar backbone structure to improve their bioactivities.

Liposomes loaded with betel leaf (Piper betle L.) ethanolic extract prepared by thin film hydration and ethanol injection methods: Characteristics and antioxidant activities. J Food Biochem 2021; 45:e14012. [PMID: 34800041 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.14012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 11/08/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Betel leaf ethanolic extract (BLEE), which was dechlorophyllized by sedimentation process was loaded in liposomes at 1 and 2% (w/v) concentrations using two different methods, namely thin film hydration (TF) and ethanol injection (EI) methods. Liposomes loaded with 1% BLEE and prepared by TF method (BLEE/L-T1) had the smallest particle size and paler color than BLEE/L-E1, BLEE/L-E2, and BLEE/L-T2 (p < .05). BLEE/L-T1 also showed strong stability as judged by its lowest zeta potential and polydispersity index. The highest encapsulation efficiency (EE) and lowest releasing efficiency (RE) were also found with BLEE/L-T1. No significant difference (p > .05) in the antioxidant activities was detected between the BLEE-loaded liposomes and BLEE solutions, indicating that encapsulation had no adverse effect on BLEE antioxidant potency. BLEE/L-T1 showed higher antioxidant stability than unencapsulated BLEE at the equivalent amount based on EE (BLEE/U-T1) during in vitro gastrointestinal tract digestion system. Therefore, BLEE/L-T1 could be an efficient delivery system for improving stability of antioxidant activities of BLEE. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Despite the many benefits of betel leaf ethanolic extract, it still has some distinctive odor and slightly greenish color as well as instability induced by environment factors, which can limit applications in foods. Encapsulation of the betel extract in liposomes can be a good approach to mask its undesirable color and odor and to augment its antioxidant stability. Liposomal technology can be used to load betel leaf extract. However, different methods have been implemented to prepare liposomes that exhibit varying encapsulation efficacy as well as bioactivities. Thin film hydration method was shown to yield the liposome with better physical characteristics, higher encapsulation efficiency, slower release, and higher antioxidant stability than the ethanol injection method. Therefore, the thin film hydration method could be adopted to prepare stable liposomes loaded with betel leaf extract that possess antioxidant activity suitable for food applications.

Abstract
AIM The present study aimed to develop liposomal Rhein by employing a hydrophobic ion-pairing technique (HIP) for improved pancreatitis therapy. METHODS F127 modified liposomal Rhein (F127-RPC-Lip) was prepared using a two-step process consisting of complexation first, followed by a film-ultrasonic dispersion step. The drug-phospholipid interaction was characterised by FT-IR and P-XRD. Particle size and morphology were investigated using DLS and TEM, respectively. Biodistribution and therapeutic efficacy of F127-RPC-Lip were evaluated in a rat model of acute pancreatitis. RESULTS F127-RPC-Lip achieved efficient drug encapsulation after complexation with lipids through non-covalent interactions and had an average hydrodynamic diameter of about 141 nm. F127-RPC-Lip demonstrated slower drug release (55.90 ± 3.60%, w/w) than Rhein solution (90.27 ± 5.11%) within 24 h. Compared with Rhein, F127-RPC-Lip exhibited prolonged systemic circulation time, superior drug distribution, and attenuated injury in the pancreas of rats post-injection. CONCLUSIONS HIP-assembled liposomes are a promising strategy for Rhein in treating pancreatitis.

Abstract
Nutraceuticals possess several health benefits and functions; however, most nutraceuticals are prone to degradation in the gastrointestinal environment and have poor bioavailability. Application of a novel carrier system is of increasing importance to overcome obstacles and provide efficient applicability. Lipid-based nanocarriers provide a large surface-to-mass ratio, enhanced intestinal absorption by solubilization in the intestinal milieu, intestinal lymphatic transport, and altering enterocyte-based transport. A critical overview of the current limitation, preparation, and application of lipid-based nanocarriers (liposomes and niosomes) and lipid nanoparticles (SLNs and NLCs) is discussed. Physical and gastrointestinal stability and bioavailability of nanoencapsulated nutraceuticals are considered as well.

Abstract
As naturally occurring bioactive products, several lines of evidence have shown the potential of polyphenols in the medical intervention of various diseases, including tumors, inflammatory diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. Notably, owing to the particular molecular structure, polyphenols can combine with proteins, metal ions, polymers, and nucleic acids providing better strategies for polyphenol-delivery strategies. This contributes to the inherent advantages of polyphenols as important functional components for other drug delivery strategies, e.g., protecting nanodrugs from oxidation as a protective layer, improving the physicochemical properties of carbohydrate polymer carriers, or being used to synthesize innovative functional delivery vehicles. Polyphenols have emerged as a multifaceted player in novel drug delivery systems, both as therapeutic agents delivered to intervene in disease progression and as essential components of drug carriers. Although an increasing number of studies have focused on polyphenol-based nanodrug delivery including epigallocatechin-3-gallate, curcumin, resveratrol, tannic acid, and polyphenol-related innovative preparations, these molecules are not without inherent shortcomings. The active biochemical characteristics of polyphenols constitute a prerequisite to their high-frequency use in drug delivery systems and likewise to provoke new challenges for the design and development of novel polyphenol drug delivery systems of improved efficacies. In this review, we focus on both the targeted delivery of polyphenols and the application of polyphenols as components of drug delivery carriers, and comprehensively elaborate on the application of polyphenols in new types of drug delivery systems. According to the different roles played by polyphenols in innovative drug delivery strategies, potential limitations and risks are discussed in detail including the influences on the physical and chemical properties of nanodrug delivery systems, and their influence on normal physiological functions inside the organism.

Abstract
Present study prepared curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes using bovine milk, krill phospholipids and cholesterol; and investigated the effects of cholesterol on membrane characteristics, storage stability and antibacterial properties of the curcumin nanoliposomes. Bovine milk phospholipids which have higher saturation than krill phospholipids resulted in formation of curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes with higher encapsulation efficiency (84.78%), larger absolute value of zeta potential and vesicle size (size: 159.15 ± 5.27 nm, zeta potential: -28.3 ± 0.62 mV). Cholesterol helps to formation of a more hydrophobic, compact and tighter bilayer membrane structure which improved the storage stability of nanoliposomes under alkaline (66.25 ± 0.46%), heat (43.25 ± 0.69%) and sunlight (49.44 ± 1.78%) conditions. In addition, curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes can effectively target infectious bacteria which secrete pore-forming toxins such as Staphylococcus aureus by causing the bacterial cell wall to lysis. Findings from present work can guide future development of novel antibacterial agents for use in food preservation.
