Abstract
Rapid changes in lifestyle and the increasingly hectic pace of life have led to a rise in chronic diseases, such as obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, and cancer, posing significant threats to public health. In response to these challenges, precision nutrition (PN) has emerged as a secure and effective intervention aiming at human health and well-being. Bioactive compounds (bioactives), including carotenoids, polyphenols, vitamins, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, exhibit a range of beneficial properties, e.g., antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. These properties make them promising candidates for preventing or treating chronic diseases and promoting human health. However, bioactives might have different challenges when incorporated into food matrices and oral administration, including low water solubility, poor physiochemical stability, and low absorption efficiency. This limits them to achieve the health benefits in the body. Numerous strategies have been developed and utilized to encapsulate and deliver bioactives. Micellar delivery systems, due to their unique core-shell structure, play a pivotal role in improving the stability, solubility, and bioavailability of these bioactives. Moreover, through innovative design strategies, micellar delivery systems can be tailored to offer targeted and controlled release, thus maximizing the potential of bioactives in PN applications. This chapter reveals details about the preparation methods and properties of micelles and highlights the strategies to modulate the properties of polymeric micelles. Afterwards, the application of polymeric micelles in the delivery of bioactives and the corresponding PN, including controlled release, organ-targeting ability, and nutritional intervention for chronic disease are summarized.

Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:99. [PMID: 38258109 PMCID: PMC10819698 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16010099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Traditional wound dressings may lack suitability for diverse wound types and individual patient requirements. In this context, this study aimed to innovate wound care by developing a 3D-printed patch using alginate and pectin and incorporating Olive Leaf Extract (OLE) as an active ingredient. Different polymer-to-plasticizer ratios were systematically examined to formulate a printable ink with optimal viscosity. The resultant film, enriched with OLE, exhibited a substantial polyphenolic content of 13.15 ± 0.41 mg CAE/g, showcasing significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Notably, the film demonstrated potent scavenging abilities against DPPH, ABTS, and NO radicals, with IC50 values of 0.66 ± 0.07, 0.47 ± 0.04, and 2.02 ± 0.14 mg/mL, respectively. In vitro release and diffusion studies were carried out and the release profiles revealed an almost complete release of polyphenols from the patch within 48 h. Additionally, the fabricated film exhibited the capacity to enhance cell motility and accelerate wound healing, evidenced by increased collagen I expression in BJ fibroblast cells. Structural assessments affirmed the ability of the patch to absorb exudates and maintain the optimal moisture balance, while biocompatibility studies underscored its suitability for biomedical applications. These compelling findings endorse the potential application of the developed film in advanced wound care, with the prospect of tailoring patches to individual patient needs.

In situ extraction/encapsulation of olive leaves antioxidants in zein for improved oxidative stability of edible oils. Food Res Int 2023; 173:113363.

Abstract
This study presents a sustainable and cost-effective method for preserving the bioactivity of phenolic compounds in olive leaves (OLE) during their application. The extraction and nanoencapsulation of OLE were performed in a single-step process using a rotor-stator system with zein as the encapsulating agent. The nanoprecipitation step was carried out using an aqueous sodium caseinate solution, resulting in spherical particles with an average diameter of about 640 nm, as confirmed by Transmission Electron Microscopy. Thermal characterization showed that the produced nanoparticles were more thermally stable than free OLE until 250 °C, and FTIR spectra indicated effective interaction between the phenolic compounds and zein. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using TBARS, DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays, with results showing that encapsulated OLE had lower antioxidant activity than free OLE. The best antioxidant capacity results were determined by TBARS assay, with IC50 results equal to 43 and 103 µgOLE/mL for free and encapsulated OLE, respectively. No anti-inflammatory potential was detected for both samples using the RAW 264.7 model, and only free OLE showed cytotoxic activity against lung cancer and gastric carcinoma. Encapsulated and free OLE were used as antioxidants in soy, palm, and palm kernel oils and compared to BHT using Rancimat. The Schaal Oven Test was also performed, and the PARAFAC chemometric method analyzed the UV-Vis spectra, which revealed high stability of the oil when 300 mg or the nanoparticles were added per kg oil. Results suggested that zein-encapsulated olive leaf antioxidants can improve the oxidative stability of edible oils.

Chawla P, Sridhar K, Bains A. Interactions of legume phenols-rice protein concentrate towards improving vegan food quality: Development of a protein-phenols enriched fruit smoothie. Food Res Int 2023; 171:113075. [PMID: 37330833 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113075] [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: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Phenol-protein interaction is considered an effective tool to improve the functional properties of vegan proteins. The present work aimed to evaluate the covalent interaction between kidney bean polyphenols with rice protein concentrate and studied their characteristics for quality improvement in vegan-based foods. The impact of interaction on the techno-functional properties of protein was evaluated and the nutritional composition revealed that kidney bean was rich in carbohydrates. Furthermore, a noticeable antioxidant activity (58.11 ± 1.075 %) due to the presence of phenols (5.5 mg GAE/g) was observed for the kidney bean extract. Moreover, caffeic acid and p-Coumaric acid were confirmed using ultra-pressure liquid chromatography and the amount was 194.43 and 0.9272 mg/kg, respectively. A range of rice protein- phenols complexes (PPC0.025, PPC0.050, PPC0.075, PPC0.1, PPC0.2, PPC 0.5, PPC1) were examined and PPC0.2 and PPC0.5 showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher binding efficiency with proteins via covalent interaction. The conjugation reveals changes in physicochemical properties of rice protein, including, reduced size (178.4 nm) and imparted negative charges (-19.5 mV) of the native protein. The presence of amide Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, was confirmed in native protein and protein-phenol complex with vibration bands, particularly at 3784.92, 1631.07, and 1234 cm-1, respectively. The X-ray diffraction pattern depicted a slight decrease in crystallinity after the complexation and scanning electron microscopy revealed the alteration in morphology from less to improved smoothness and continuous surface characteristics for the complex. Thermo gravimetric analysis revealed high thermal stability of the complex with a maximum weight loss at a temperature range of 400-500 °C. Protein-phenol complex added fruit-based smoothie was developed and it was found to be acceptable in terms of various sensory attributes including color & appearance, textural consistency, and mouthfeel as compared to the control smoothie. Overall, this study provided novel insights to understand the phenol-protein interactions and the possible use of the phenol-rice protein complex in the development of vegan-based food products.
