Ultrasound-assisted fabrication of chitosan-hydroxypropyl methylcellulose nanoemulsions loaded with thymol and cinnamaldehyde: Physicochemical properties, stability, and antifungal activity. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 281:136278. [PMID: 39368575 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.136278] [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: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 09/05/2024] [Accepted: 10/02/2024] [Indexed: 10/07/2024]
Abstract
This study investigated the influence of chitosan (CH) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (H), along with ultrasound power, on the physicochemical properties, antifungal activity, and stability of oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsions containing thymol and cinnamaldehyde in a 7:3 (v/v) ratio. Eight O/W formulations were prepared using CH, H, and a 1:1 (v/v) blend of CH and H, both with and without ultrasonication (U). Compared to untreated samples, U-treated nanoemulsions had lower droplet sizes (433-301 nm), polydispersity index (0.42-0.47), and zeta potential (-0.42-0.77 mV). The U treatment decreased L* and b* values, increased a* color attribute values, and increased apparent viscosity (0.26-2.17) at the same shear rate. After 28 days, microbiological testing of nanoemulsions treated with U showed counts below the detection limits (< 2 log CFU mL-1). The U-treated nanoemulsions exhibited stronger antifungal effects against R. stolonifer, with the NE/CH-U and NE/CH-H-U formulations demonstrating the lowest minimum inhibitory and fungicidal concentrations, measured at 0.12 and 0.24 μL/mL, respectively. On day 28, U-treated nanoemulsions demonstrated higher ionic, thermal, and physical stability than untreated samples. These findings suggest that the stability and antifungal efficacy of polysaccharide-based nanoemulsions may be improved by ultrasonic treatment. This study paves the way for innovative, highly stable nanoemulsions.

Abstract
Water-in-oil (W/O) Pickering emulsions have wide applications in the food industries. However, the existing W/O Pickering particles have disadvantages such as lack of bioactivity and poor stability. In this study, naturally occurring bioactive oleanolic acid (OA) was used as a novel emulsifier for W/O emulsions. Results revealed that rod-like OA could formulate into spherical nanoparticles by self-assembly, and then be anchored onto the oil-water interface to stabilize the emulsions. Besides, both OA concentration and internal water fraction (φ) had significant effect on the properties of emulsions. Furthermore, the resulted emulsions exhibited potential application as carriers for epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which significantly improved its UV and thermal stability. Meanwhile, it could effectively protect EGCG from gastric digestion, and controlled release in the intestine. This work demonstrated the successful application of OA as a stabilizer for W/O emulsions, and provided valuable insight into its potential as delivery system for hydrophilic instable compounds.

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

Abstract
Recently, the food packaging industry has focused on developing an eco-friendly and sustainable food packaging system. This study describes the effect of beeswax on the physical, structural, and barrier properties of a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/polyacrylic acid (PAA) composite film. The incorporation of beeswax improved the barrier properties against oxygen, water, and oil. However, the addition of a high content of beeswax caused phase separation in the film-forming solution. The destabilization mechanisms such as clarification and creaming formation in the film-forming solution were revealed by turbidimetric analysis. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) indicates that non-homogeneous structures in the film-forming solution were formed as a function of increased beeswax content due to the agglomeration of beeswax. The mechanical properties of the films were also evaluated to determine the most appropriate content of beeswax. There was a slight decrease in tensile strength and an increase in elongation as beeswax content increased up to 10%. Thus, the PVA/PAA composite film with 10% beeswax was chosen for further applications. In summary, the PVA/PAA composite film developed in this study with 10% beeswax exhibited a significant improvement in barrier properties and has the potential for use in commerce.

Abstract
This study proposed an innovative approach using lipid-cored particles (LCPs) aimed at addressing the efficiency, cost, and environmental impact challenges in microalgae harvesting. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and chitosan (CS) were used to modify LCPs and to optimize efficiency and investigate the mechanisms of harvesting with Chlorella vulgaris. Results showed that a maximum harvesting efficiency of 97.14 % was achieved using CS-LCPs. Zeta potential and microscopic images revealed the presence of embedded CS-LCPs within microalgal flocs. Fractal dimension data suggested looser aggregates of CS-LCPs and Chlorella vulgaris, corroborated by Excitation-emission matrices (EEM) analysis further confirmation the presence of bridging networks. Moreover, life cycle assessment of five harvesting methods pointed freshwater ecotoxicity potential (FEP) and terrestrial ecotoxicity potential (TEP) as major environmental impacts, mainly from flocculant use, carrier production, and electricity consumption. Notably, LCPs showed the lowest global warming potential (GWP) at 1.54 kg CO2 eq, offering a viable, low-carbon, cost-effective harvesting alternative.

Abstract
A two-step method for preparing smart labels that can monitor food freshness through color change is presented. The conventional casting method for such labels is not cost-effective, as it uses organic solvents and requires additional cutting processes. Our method is more eco-friendly and customizable, as it uses water as the sole solvent and 3D printing as the fabrication technique. First, curcumin was encapsulated with soy protein isolate (SPI) by a pH-driven method involving hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Subsequently, the SPI-curcumin complex was blended with gelatin to create a printable ink. The ink has suitable rheological properties for extrusion, with a yield stress of 400-600 Pa and a viscosity of 122.93-142.82 Pa·s at the optimal printing temperature. The complex modulus of the ink increases to above 2 × 103 Pa when cooled to 25 °C, indicating rapid gel formation. The application of these smart labels to minced meat demonstrated their ability to reflect its freshness by transitioning from yellow to red. Furthermore, the printability and mechanical properties of the labels can be adjusted by changing the glycerol/water ratio. This innovative approach is a promising solution for producing environmentally friendly and customizable smart labels for food freshness monitoring.

Abstract
This study aims to enhance the stability and bioavailability of curcumin (Cur) using nanoemulsion coating technology. The nanoemulsion system was developed by encapsulating Cur with quaternized chitosan (QMNE), and the nanoemulsion containing Cur and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil (MNE) was used as control sample. The microstructure of the nanoemulsion was examined using Dynamic light scattering (DLS), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The storage, thermal, ionic strength, and pH stability of QMNE were also evaluated, respectively. The results indicate that QMNE demonstrates superior stability, in vitro gastric fluid stability, bioavailability compared to MNE. QMNE exhibits excellent emulsification activity and stability. In addition, QMNE shows significant protection against oxidation in both emulsion systems after different heat treatments. The antimicrobial activity results reveal that QMNE exhibits greater efficacy than that of MNE. Consequently, this study provides valuable insights into the formulation of a system to encapsulate Cur and the improvement of its stability and bioavailability.

Abstract
In this study, we focused on the in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of curcumin-nanoemulsion-loaded corn starch gels formed using starches with different amylose contents, i.e. waxy (WCS), normal (NCS) and high amylose (HACS) corn starches and their impact on the release and bioaccessibility of curcumin. Curcumin nanoemulsion (CNE) loading significantly increased the storage modulus of the WCS and NCS gels by interspersing in the gelatinized continuous phase, whereas it decreased in the HACS gel due to the formation of a weak network structure as a result of the incomplete gelatinized amylose granules. During the gastric digestion, the disintegration and emptying of the WCS + CNE gel from the stomach was the slowest compared to the other two gels. The changes in the stomach, influenced the emptying of total solids (HACS + CNE > NCS + CNE > WCS + CNE) into the gastric digesta, which further affected the rate of starch and lipid digestion during the intestinal phase. The HACS + CNE and NCS + CNE gels showed a higher and faster release of curcumin compared to the WCS + CNE gel that showed a slower and sustained release during the intestinal digestion. This study demonstrated that the oral-gastric digestion of these starch gels was more dependent on the gel structures rather than on the molecular properties of the starches. The dynamic gastric environment resulted in the formation of distinct gel structures, which significantly influenced the composition and microstructure of the emptied digesta, further affecting starch hydrolysis and curcumin bioaccessibility in the small intestine.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to constitute microcapsule systems with high oil loading capacity by octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) starch, whey protein isolate (WPI) and inulin (IN) substrates to provide a new method for encapsulating diacylglycerol oil. Specifically, this study characterizes the physicochemical properties and reconstitution capacity of highly oil loading diacylglycerol microcapsules by comparing the wall encapsulation capacity of the binary wall system OSA-IN, WPI-IN and the ternary wall system WPI-OSA (1:9, 5:5, 9:1)-IN for diacylglycerol oil. It was found that WPI-OSA (5:5)-IN significantly improved the water solubility of microcapsules (86.11 %) compared to OSA-IN microcapsules, and the addition of WPI made the surface of microcapsules smoother and increased the thermal stability and solubility of microcapsules; the addition of OSA enhanced the wettability of microcapsules compared to WPI-IN. In addition, WPI-OSA (5:5)-IN microcapsules have the highest encapsulation efficiency (96.03 %), high emulsion stability after reconstitution, and the smallest droplet size (212.83 nm) after 28 d. Therefore, the WPI-OSA-IN composite system is suitable for the production of highly oil-loaded microencapsulated systems with excellent reconstitution ability to expand the application of diacylglycerol oil.

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.

Improvement of structural, physicochemical, and rheological properties of porcine myofibrillar proteins by high-intensity ultrasound treatment for application as Pickering stabilizers. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2023; 92:106263. [PMID: 36516724 PMCID: PMC9768353 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2022.106263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the potential of time-dependent (0, 15, 30, 60, 120 min) treatment of porcine-derived myofibrillar proteins (MPs) with high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) for utilizing them as a Pickering stabilizer and decipher the underlying mechanism by which HIU treatment increases the emulsification and dispersion stability of MPs. To accomplish this, we analyzed the structural, physicochemical, and rheological properties of the HIU-treated MPs. Myosin heavy chain and actin were observed to be denatured, and the particle size of MPs decreased from 3,342.7 nm for the control group to 153.9 nm for 120 min HIU-treated MPs. Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy confirmed that as the HIU treatment time increased, α-helical content increased, and β-sheet decreased, indicating that the protein secondary/tertiary structure was modified. In addition, the turbidity, apparent viscosity, and viscoelastic properties of the HIU-treated MP solution were decreased compared to the control, while the surface hydrophobicity was significantly increased. Analyses of the emulsification properties of the Pickering emulsions prepared using time-dependent HIU-treated MPs revealed that the emulsion activity index and emulsion stability index of HIU-treated MP were improved. Confocal laser scanning microscopy images indicated that small spherical droplets adsorbed with MPs were formed by HIU treatment and that dispersion stabilities were improved because the Turbiscan stability index of the HIU-treated group was lower than that of the control group. These findings could be used as supporting data for the utilizing porcine-derived MPs, which have been treated with HIU for appropriate time periods, as Pickering stabilizers.

Abstract
An active coating is one of the best ways to maintain the good quality and sensory properties of fruits. A new active coating was prepared by incorporating curcumin and phloretin into the konjac glucomannan matrix (KGM-Cur-Phl). The fourier infrared spectroscopy, rheology and differential scanning calorimetry confirmed the successful fabrication of this coating. This coating showed excellent antioxidant activity revealed by the 95.03% of ABTS radicals scavenging ratio and 99.67% of DPPH radicals scavenging ratio. The result of bacteria growth curves showed that it could effectively inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella typhimurium. The results of firmness, titratable acid and pH showed that it effectively prolonged the shelf life of kumquat. A novel konjac glucomannan-based active coating was provided.
