[PMID: 38718455 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139564] [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: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
High internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs) prepared from natural polymers have attracted much attention in the food manufactures. However, single zein-stabilized HIPPEs are poorly stable and prone to flocculation near the isoelectric point. To address this issue, in this study, zein and whey protein nanofibrils (WPN) complex nanoparticles (ZWNPs) were successfully prepared using a pH-driven method, and ZWNPs were further used as HIPPEs stabilizers. The results showed that zein and WPN were combined together through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction to form ZWNPs, and the HIPPEs stabilized by ZWNPs had excellent stability, which could effectively protect the internally encapsulated lycopene and improve the bioaccessibility of lycopene. In conclusion, this study provides a new strategy for the preparation of stable hydrophobic protein-based HIPPEs, represented by zein.

Abstract
Vegetables and legume soups contain various essential and bioactive constituents such as vitamin C, carotenoids, and phenolics. Antioxidant activity characteristics related to those compounds are well known to contribute profusely to human health. The cooking technique affects the bioavailability of nutrients and bioactive compounds, making it crucial to explore optimal alternatives to maximize them. The objective of this study was to explore the influence of different cooking techniques (boiling, pressure cooking, sous-vide, and cook-vide) on the physicochemical properties and bioactive characteristics of a ready-to-eat vegetable lentil soup. For this, the bioaccessibility of those compounds was assessed through an in vitro simulated gastrointestinal methodology. The firmness of vegetables was established to define treatments' cooking times, allowing subsequent comparison of the nutritional and functional properties of the soups. The color of vegetables was also evaluated as a quality parameter, which contributed to providing a global vision of the process impact. The results revealed that in vitro digestion (IVD) caused a decrease in all bioactive compound determinations for all cooking treatments of up to 72% for total phenols, 92% for lycopene, 98% for carotenoids, and 100% for vitamin C. Additionally, the antioxidant activity of the soups after thermal treatment improved up to 46% measured by the DPPH method. This study emphasizes the importance of considering the digestion process in the selection of the most adequate cooking technique. After IVD, traditional cooking (boiling) reached the maximum total carotenoid and lycopene contents; cook-vide and pressure-cooking techniques provided the highest total phenol content, showing these three techniques to have the maximum antioxidant capacity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Use of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) with reduced processing times is gaining traction in the food industry as an alternative to conventional thermal treatment. In order to enhance functional benefits while minimizing processing losses, functionalized products are being developed with such novel techniques. In this study, changes in quality parameters for HHP treated enriched tomato sauce were evaluated, with the aim to assess its viability as an alternative to conventional thermal treatment methods. RESULTS HHP treatments at 500 MPa, 30 °C/50 °C significantly increased the total phenolic and lycopene content of the sauce samples, achieving 6.7% and 7.5% improvements over conventionally treated samples. The antioxidant capacity of the HHP-treated samples was also found to match or be better than conventionally treated samples. Furthermore, a T2 relaxation time study revealed that pressure-temperature processing treatments were effective in maintaining the structural integrity of water molecules. Microbiological analyses revealed that 500 MPa/50 °C 5 min treatment can offer 8 logs reduction colony formation, matching the results of conventional thermal treatment. CONCLUSION Combined pressure-temperature treatments improve results, reduce time consumption. 500 MPa/50 °C treatments provided retention of quality parameters and significant reduction in microbial activity. © 2024 The Author(s).

Abstract
Lycopene is a promising biological functional component with various biological activities and excellent pharmacological activities. However, its low water solubility and stability lead to low oral bioavailability, which limits its edible and medicinal research. Then, it is necessary to explore effective methods to protect lycopene from destruction and further exploit its potential benefits. The absorption of lycopene in vivo is affected by solubility, stability, isomer type, emulsifying ability, difficulty in forming micelles in vivo, and interaction with food components. Emulsions, pickering emulsions, micelles, liposomes, bigels, beasds, solid dispersions, microcapsules, nanoparticles, electrospinning and other drug delivery systems can be used as good strategies to improve the stability and bioavailability of lycopene. In this paper, the absorption process of lycopene in vivo and the factors affecting its bioavailability were discussed, and the preparation strategies for improving the stability, bioavailability, and health benefits of lycopene were reviewed, to provide some clues and references for the full utilization of lycopene in the field of health. However, there are still various unresolved mysteries regarding the metabolism of lycopene. The safety and in vivo studies of various preparations should be further explored, and the above technologies also face the challenge of industrial production.

Abstract
Muscle protein based functional foods have been attracted great interests in novel food designing. Herein, myofibrillar protein (MP)-chitosan (CH) electrostatic complexes were employed to fabricate mixed-layer emulsions to protect and deliver astaxanthin. The MP/CH complex fabricated mixed-layer emulsions displayed higher stability against pH and temperature changes, exhibiting smaller droplet and homogenous distributions. After UV-light irradiation for 8 h, the mixed-layer emulsions had higher astaxanthin retention (69.11 %, 1:1 group). During storage, a lower degree of lipid oxidation, protein oxidation and higher astaxanthin retention were obtained, indicating desirable protections of mixed-layer emulsions. The vitro digestion reveled the mixed-layer emulsions could decrease the release of free fatty acids. Meanwhile, the bioaccessibility of astaxanthin was higher (30.43 %, 2:1 group) than monolayer emulsion. In all, the MP/CH prepared mixed-layer emulsions could protect and deliver fat-soluble bioactive compounds, and contributed to develop muscle protein based functional foods to meet the needs of slow and controlled release.

Abstract
The effects of soluble dietary fibres (SDFs) on α-glucosidase inhibition of EGCG were studied. Three arabinoxylans and polygalacturonic acid (PGA) significantly decreased inhibitory activity of EGCG against α-glucosidase, while two β-glucans hardly affected the inhibition. Although arabinoxylans and PGA weakened the competitive inhibition character of EGCG, they maintained the fluorescence quenching effect of EGCG. Then, arabinoxylans and PGA significantly decreased the particle size and turbidity of EGCG-enzyme complex. These results suggest that there formed SDFs-EGCG-enzyme ternary complexes. The stronger decreasing-effects of arabinoxylans and PGA on α-glucosidase inhibition of EGCG than β-glucans resulted from the stronger non-covalent interactions of arabinoxylans and PGA with EGCG. This is considered to arise from the short-branches of arabinoxylans that provided more opportunity for capturing EGCG, and from the strong polarity of PGA carboxyl that promoted hydrogen bondings with EGCG. Conclusively, SDFs should be considered as an impact factor when evaluating α-glucosidase inhibition of dietary polyphenols.

Abstract
Aqueous probiotic suspensions were dispersed in an oil phase consisting of fish oil and medium chain triglycerides to form W1/O emulsions. These emulsions were then homogenized with an aqueous solution containing soybean protein isolate and sodium alginate to form W1/O/W2 emulsions. Fish oil was used to promote the growth of the probiotics and increase their ability to adhere to the intestinal mucosa. Sodium alginate increased the viscosity, stability, and probiotic encapsulation efficiency of the double emulsions, which was mainly attributed to its interactions with adsorbed soy proteins. The encapsulation efficiency of the probiotics in the double emulsions was relatively high (>96%). In vitro simulated digestion experiments showed that the double emulsions significantly increased the number of viable probiotics remaining after passing through the entire gastrointestinal tract. This study suggests that encapsulation of probiotics in double emulsions may increase their viability under gastrointestinal conditions, thereby enhancing their efficacy in functional foods.

Abstract
Lycopene-loaded emulsions were formulated with whey protein isolate (WPI) covalently modified with high methoxylated pectin (HMP) or/and chlorogenic acid (CA) prepared by dry heating or/and alkali grafting. Covalent WPI products were confirmed by SDS-PAGE and degree of graft/CA binding equivalent values. The α-helix and β-sheet percentage, surface hydrophobicity and fluorescence intensity of WPI decreased significantly (p < 0.05) upon binding. Both binary and ternary complexes enhanced the stability of the emulsions, and lycopene retained more after UV irradiation, thermal treatment, storage, compared with emulsions stabilized by WPI, with the best protection by both ternary complexes. In vitro simulated digestion results showed that free fatty acids were released in the order of WPI > WPI-HMP > WPI-CA > WPI-HMP-CA ≈ WPI-CA-HMP. Bio-accessibility analysis showed the same trend as the fatty acid release rate. These results may provide a theoretical basis for applications of conjugating protein with polysaccharide or/and polyphenol emulsions.

Abstract
The influence of the carrier oil type on the bioavailability and bioactivity of flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, and apigenin) was examined using in vitro digestion, in situ intestinal perfusion, and pharmacokinetic studies. Here, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), long-chain triglycerides (LCTs), or MCT/LCT mixtures (1:1, w/w) served as the oil phase of excipient emulsions. Overall, the bioavailability and antioxidant activity of flavonoids increased when they were coingested with excipient emulsions. The in vitro bioaccessibility of flavonoids was affected by the carrier oil: LCT (17.9-22.8%) > MCT/LCT (12.1-13.7%) > MCT (9.2-12.6%). These differences were mainly attributed to the fact that the mixed micelles formed after the digestion of LCTs had larger hydrophobic domains to solubilize more flavonoids. However, in vivo pharmacokinetic experiments showed that the flavonoid concentrations in rat serum were comparable for all carrier oils (p > 0.05). Our results assist in formulating excipient emulsions to enhance the efficacy of flavonoids.

Protein-based high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPEs) are emulsions using protein particles as a stabilizer in which the volume fraction of the dispersed phase exceeds 74%. Stabilizers are irreversibly adsorbed at the interface of the oil phase and water phase to maintain the droplet structure. Protein-based HIPEs have shown great potential for a variety of fields, including foods, due to the wide range of materials, simple preparation, and good biocompatibility. This review introduces the preparation routes of protein-based HIPEs and summarizes and classifies the preparation methods of protein stabilizers according to their formation mechanism. Further outlined are the types and properties of protein stabilizers used in the present studies, the composition of the oil phase, the encapsulating substances, and the properties of the constituted protein-based HIPEs. Finally, future development of protein-based HIPEs was explored, such as the development of protein-based stabilizers, the improvement of emulsification technology, and the quality control of stabilizers and protein-based HIPEs.

Abstract
Natural pigments are bioactive compounds that can present health-promoting bioactivities in the human body. Due to their strong coloring properties, these compounds have been widely used as color additives as an alternative to artificial colorants. However, since these pigments are unstable under certain conditions, such as the presence of light, oxygen, and heat, the use of complexation and encapsulation techniques with biopolymers is in demand. Moreover, some functional properties can be achieved by using natural pigments-biopolymers complexes in food matrices. The complexation and encapsulation of natural pigments with biopolymers consist of forming a complex with the aim to make these compounds less susceptible to oxidative and degrading agents, and can also be used to improve their solubility in different media. This review aims to discuss different techniques that have been used over the last years to create natural pigment-biopolymers complexes, as well as the recent advances, limitations, effects, and possible applications of these complexes in foods. Moreover, the understanding of thermodynamic parameters between natural pigments and biopolymers is very important regarding the complex formation and their use in food systems. In this sense, thermodynamic techniques that can be used to determine binding parameters between natural pigments and potential wall materials, as well as their applications, advantages, and limitations are presented in this work. Several studies have shown an improvement in many aspects regarding the use of these complexes, including increased thermal and storage stability. Nonetheless, data regarding the biological effects on the human body and the sensory acceptance of natural pigments-biopolymers complexes in food systems are scarce in the literature.

Abstract
Usual extraction processes for analyzing foods, supplements, and nutraceutical products involve massive amounts of organic solvents contributing to a negative impact on the environment and human health. In recent years, a new class of green solvents called natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) have been considered a valid alternative to conventional solvents. Compared with conventional organic solvents, NADES have attracted considerable attention since they are sustainable, biodegradable, and non-toxic but also are easy to prepare, and have low production costs. Here we summarize the major aspects of NADEs such as the classification, preparation method physicochemical properties, and toxicity. Moreover, we provide an overview of novel extraction techniques using NADES as potential extractants of bioactive compounds from foods and food by-products, and application of NADEs in food analysis. This review aims to be useful for the further development of NAES and for broadening the knowledge of these new green solvents in order to increase their use for the extraction of bioactive compounds and in food analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Owing to the harsh acidic environment of the stomach, acid-resistant emulsion products have wide-ranging applications in the food industry. Herein, natural soybean lipophilic protein (LP) was used to establish coarse emulsions, nanoemulsions, emulsion gels, and high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPE) under acidic conditions. Furthermore, the carrying characteristics of the acid-resistant emulsion system with lycopene were explored. RESULTS Comparisons of particle sizes, potentials, microstructures, and rheology of the four carrier systems revealed that HIPPE has a single particle-size distribution, the largest zeta potential, and an elastic gel-like network structure. Comparison of encapsulation rates indicated that HIPPE had the best effect on encapsulating lycopene, reaching approximately 90%. The pH stability, storage stability, and simulated in vitro digestion experiments showed that the four emulsions that were stable under acidic conditions had good acid resistance. Among them, the acid-induced LP-stabilized HIPPE had the best storage stability and superior compatibility with the harsh acidic environment of the stomach, which not only achieved the purpose of delaying the release of lipids but also conferred better protection to lycopene in the gastric tract; moreover, it achieved the best bioavailability. CONCLUSION LP-stabilized HIPPE has the best stability and can yield better absorption and utilization of lycopene by the body. The results of this study are helpful for the development of acid-resistant functional emulsion foods that are conducive to the absorption of lycopene. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The detailed investigation of food-grade emulsions, which possess considerable structural and functional advantages, remains ongoing to enhance our understanding of these dispersion systems and to expand their application scope. This work reviews the applications of food-grade emulsions on the dispersed phase, interface structure, and macroscopic scales; further, it discusses the corresponding factors of influence, the selection and design of food dispersion systems, and the expansion of their application scope. Specifically, applications on the dispersed-phase scale mainly include delivery by soft matter carriers and auxiliary extraction/separation, while applications on the scale of the interface structure involve biphasic systems for enzymatic catalysis and systems that can influence substance digestion/absorption, washing, and disinfection. Future research on these scales should therefore focus on surface-active substances, real interface structure compositions, and the design of interface layers with antioxidant properties. By contrast, applications on the macroscopic scale mainly include the design of soft materials for structured food, in addition to various material applications and other emerging uses. In this case, future research should focus on the interactions between emulsion systems and food ingredients, the effects of food process engineering, safety, nutrition, and metabolism. Considering the ongoing research in this field, we believe that this review will be useful for researchers aiming to explore the applications of food-grade emulsions.

Abstract
The present study proposes a green extraction approach for the recovery of lycopene from tomato fruits. Different hydrophobic natural deep eutectic solvents (HNADESs) based on terpenes (i.e., menthol and thymol) and fatty acids (i.e., decanoic acid and dodecanoic acid) were prepared at different molar ratios, characterised in terms of density, rheological properties, and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and were examined for their effectiveness to extract lycopene from tomato. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimise the extraction parameters, namely duration (min) and solvent:solid ratio (v/w). Spectrophotometry and RP-HPLC-DAD were used in order to monitor the process efficiency. The combination of decanoic acid and dodecanoic acid was found to exhibit comparable extraction capacity to acetone. Taking into account that the HNADESs used in the present study are considered green, biodegradable and of low cost, the obtained carotenoid rich extracts are expected to be of use in industrial food applications.

Abstract
Lycopene is claimed to have numerous physiological benefits, but its poor water solubility, chemical instability, and low bioavailability limit its application in functional foods and health care products. In this study, lycopene-loaded emulsions containing oil droplets with different interfacial structures were prepared and then cross-linked using transglutaminase (TG) and/or calcium ions (Ca2+) to form emulsion gels. The oil droplets were first coated by interfacial layers comprised of whey protein isolate (WPI) and sodium alginate (SA). During emulsion preparation, the SA was added either before or after homogenization to create complex or layer-by-layer coatings, respectively. Subsequently, TG and Ca2+ were used to cross-link WPI and SA to form emulsion gels. The results show that double-crosslinking increased the gel strength and viscosity of the emulsion gels. The layer-by-layer emulsion gels were stronger and more viscous than the complex ones. The photochemical and gastrointestinal stability of lycopene encapsulated within the emulsion gels was higher than that of free lycopene. An MTT toxicity test showed that the emulsion gels exhibited no cytotoxicity to Caco-2 cells. The lycopene-loaded emulsion gels exhibited stronger anti-inflammatory activity on the Caco-2 cells than the control. In addition, the absorption of lycopene by the Caco-2 cells increased after encapsulation. This study provides a new approach of preparing edible soft materials to enhance the application of hydrophobic bioactives (like lycopene) in functional foods.

Abstract
Alternaria fruit rot is a major disease caused by Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissl., a prolific fungal pathogen. Among post-harvest diseases of tomato, fruit rot induced by A. alternata is the most damaging. Antifungal agents are widely used to control post-harvest management of tomato fruits. However, negative impacts of fungicidal residues in edible fruits and vegetables on human health cannot be over ruled. Eco-friendly ways of controlling Alternaria rot in tomato fruits offer a novel way of tomato rot management. The current study proposes an alternate method in controlling tomato fruit rots through Zanthoxylum armatum DC essential oil (EO) application. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry profiling showed eucalyptol and sabinene as major components of Z. armatum EO. Furthermore, EO applied (0.5–4.5 μl/ml) showed significant inhibition of A. alternata growth (p > 0.05) at 4.5 μl concentration tested. Lipid peroxidation assays revealed significant reduction in membrane damage in tomato fruits treated by EO compared to alone inoculated fruits with A. alternata. Elevated activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione reductase coupled with enhanced antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, glutathione, proline, and total phenols in EO-treated fruits may be linked with better fruit rot management than control fruits inoculated with A. alternata-induced rot alone. Mycelia and spore production was dramatically reduced in EO applied tomato fruits over A. alternata alone in tomato fruits (p > 0.05). Interestingly, free radical scavenging activities of EO applied tomato fruits showed significant improvement compared to only pathogen-inoculated tomato fruits. Findings propose practical utility of Z. armatum EO as a plant-based antifungal for post-harvest management of Alternaria rot in tomato fruits.
