[PMID: 38266315 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138358] [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: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 10/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/01/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
Protein microgels are emerging as versatile soft particles due to their desirable interfacial activities and functional properties. In this study, pea protein isolate microgel particles (PPIMP) were prepared by heat treatment and transglutaminase crosslinking, and PPIMP were non-covalently and covalently modified with sodium alginate (SA). The effects of polymer ratio and pH on the formation of PPIMP-SA mixtures and conjugates were investigated. The optimal ratio of PPIMP and SA was found to be 20:1, with the optimal pH being 7 and 10, respectively. PPIMP-SA conjugates were prepared by Maillard reaction. It was found that ultrasound (195 W, 40 min) enhanced the degree of glycation of PPIMP, with a highest value of 37.21 ± 0.71 %. SDS-PAGE, browning intensity and FTIR data also confirmed the formation of PPIMP-SA conjugates. Compared with PPIMP and PPIMP-SA mixtures, PPIMP-SA conjugates exhibited better thermal stability, antioxidant, emulsifying and foaming properties, which opens up opportunities for protein microgel in various food applications.

Abstract
Alginate-based biopolymer products have gained attention for protecting and delivering bioactive components in nutraceuticals and functional foods. These naturally abundant anionic, unbranched, and linear copolymers are also produced commercially by microorganisms. Alone or in combination with other copolymers, they efficiently transport bioactive molecules in food and nutraceutical products. This review aims to provide an in-depth understanding of alginate-based products and structures, emphasizing their role in delivering functional molecules in various formulations and delivery systems. These include edible coatings/films, gels/emulsions, beads/droplets, microspheres/particles, and engineered nanostructures where alginates have been used potentially. By exploring these applications, readers gain insights into the benefits of these products. Because, alginate-based biopolymer products have shown promise in delivering bioactive compounds like vitamin C, vitamin D3, curcumin, β-carotene, resveratrol, folic acid, gliadins, caffeic acid, betanin, limonoids, quercetin, several polyphenols and essential oils, etc., which are chief contributors to treating specific/overall nutritional and chronic metabolic disorders. So, this review summarizes the potential of alginate-based structures/products in various forms for delivering a wide range of functional food ingredients and nutraceutical components that offer promising perspectives for future investigations.

Abstract
Therapeutic polysaccharide-based coatings have recently emerged as versatile strategies to transform a conventional medical implant into a drug delivery system. However, the translation of these polysaccharide-based coatings into the clinic as drug delivery systems still requires a deeper understanding of their drug degradation/release profiles. This claim is supported by little or no data. In this review paper, a comprehensive description of the benefits and challenges generated by the polysaccharide-based coatings is provided. Moreover, the latest advances made towards the application of the most important representative coatings based on polysaccharide types for drug delivery are debated. Furthermore, suggestions/recommendations for future research to speed up the transition of polysaccharide-based drug delivery systems from the laboratory testing to clinical applications are given.

Int J Nanomedicine 2023; 18:4471-4484. [PMID: 37555190 PMCID: PMC10406122 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s403385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is one of the main causes of death in women. Uncaria gambir is an Indonesian herbal plant that can be used as an anti-cancer. However, herbal medicines have low bioavailability, which affects their bioactivity. Nanoencapsulation can increase bioavailability and stability of bioactive compounds in herbal medicines. PURPOSE This recent finding tried to unravel anti-cancer and chemopreventive of U. gambir nano-encapsulated by Na-alginate. STUDY DESIGN U. gambir bioactive compounds were isolated and characterized using UV-Vis spectrometer, FTIR, NMR and HR-MS. U. gambir extract was nanoencapsulated using Na-alginate. Anti-cancer effect was assessed by MTT assay towards T47D cell. Meanwhile, a chemopreventive analysis was carried out in breast cancer mice-induced benzo[α]pyrene. The healthy mice were divided into 8 groups comprising control and treatment. RESULTS Elucidation of U. gambir ethyl acetate extract confirmed high catechin content, 89.34% (w/w). Successful nanoencapsulation of U. gambir (G-NPs) was indicated. The particle size of G-NPs was 78.40 ± 12.25 nm. Loading efficiency (LE) and loading amount (LA) of G-NPs were 97.56 ± 0.04% and 32.52 ± 0.01%, respectively. G-NPs had an EC50 value of 10.39 ± 3.50 µg/mL, which was more toxic than the EC50 value of extract towards the T47D cell line. Administration of 200 mg/kg BW G-NPs to mice induced by benzo[α]pyrene exhibited SOD and GSH levels of 13.69 ng/mL and 455.6 ng/mL. In addition, the lowest TNF-α level was 27.96 ng/mL. A dose of 100 mg/kg BW G-NPs could best increase CAT levels by 7.18 ng/mL. There was no damage or histological abnormalities found in histological analysis of the breast tissue in the group given 200 mg/kg BW G-NPs.

Abstract
In recent times, nutrition and diet have become prominent health paradigms due to sedentary lifestyle disorders. Preventive health care strategies are becoming increasingly popular instead of treating and managing diseases. A nutraceutical is an innovative concept that offers additional health benefits beyond its fundamental nutritional value. These nutraceuticals have the potential to reduce the exorbitant use of synthetic drugs because the modern medicine approach of treating diseases with high-tech, expensive supplements, and long-term consequences aggravates consumers. However, most nutraceuticals are plant-derived, making them susceptible to degradation and prone to chemical instability, poor solubility, unpleasant taste, and bioactivity loss before absorption to the targeted site. To counteract this problem, the bioavailability of these labile compounds can be maximized by encapsulating them in protective nanocarriers. It is crucial that nanoencapsulation technologies convert bioactive compounds into forms that can be easily combined with functional foods and beverages without adversely affecting their organoleptic properties. In recent years, nanoformulations using food-grade materials, such as polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, etc., have received considerable attention. Among them, microbial polysaccharides are biocompatible, nontoxic, and nonimmunogenic, and most of them are US-FDA approved and can undergo tailored modifications. The nanoformulation of microbial polysaccharide is a relatively new frontier which has several advantages over existing systems. The present article, for the first time, comprehensively reviews microbial polysaccharides-based nanodelivery systems for nutraceuticals and discusses various techno-commercial aspects of these nanotechnological preparations. Moreover, this has also attempted to draw a future research perspective in this area.

Abstract
Alginates have been widely explored due to their salient advantages of hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, mucoadhesive features, bioavailability, environmentally-benign properties, and cost-effectiveness. They are applied for designing micro- and nanosystems for controlled and targeted drug delivery and cancer therapy as alginate biopolymers find usage in encapsulating anticancer drugs to improve their bioavailability, sustained release, pharmacokinetics, and bio-clearance. Notably, these nanomaterials can be applied for photothermal, photodynamic, and chemodynamic therapy of cancers/tumors. Future explorations ought to be conducted to find novel alginate-based (nano)systems for targeted cancer therapy using advanced drug delivery techniques with benefits of non-invasiveness, patient compliance, and convenience of drug administration. Thus, some critical parameters such as mucosal permeability, stability in the gastrointestinal tract environment, and drug solubility ought to be considered. In addition, the comprehensive clinical translational studies along with the optimization of synthesis techniques still need to be addressed. Herein, we present an overview of the current state of knowledge and recent developments pertaining to the applications of alginate-based micro- and nanosystems for targeted cancer therapy based on controlled drug delivery, photothermal therapy, and chemodynamic/photodynamic therapy approaches, focusing on important challenges and future directions.
