The effect of rice protein-polyphenols covalent and non-covalent interactions on the structure, functionality and in vitro digestion properties of rice protein. Food Chem 2024; 450:139241. [PMID: 38636382 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139241] [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: 02/04/2024] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
The characteristics of the crosslinking between rice protein (RP) and ferulic acid (FA), gallic acid (GA), or tannin acid (TA) by covalent binding of Laccase and non-covalent binding were evaluated. The RP-polyphenol complexes greatly improved the functionality of RP. The covalent effect with higher polyphenol binding equivalence showed higher emulsion activity than the non-covalent effect. The solubility, and antioxidant activity of covalent binding were higher than that of non-covalent binding in the RP-FA group, but there was a contrasting behavior in the RP-GA group. The RP-FA was most soluble in conjugates, while the RP-GA had the highest solubility in mixtures. It was found that the covalent complexes were more stable in the intestinal tract. The content of polyphenols in the RP-TA group was rapidly increased at the later intestinal digestion, which indicated the high polyphenol-protective effect in this group. Meanwhile, the RP-TA group showed high reducing power but low digestibility.

Abstract
The purpose of the present work was to encapsulate zingerone (a bioactive compound from ginger) by self-assembling peptides derived from fish viscera. The encapsulation conditions were investigated and the structure of fish peptides-zingerone complex was characterized. The interaction between zingerone and fish peptides was investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy. Further research was performed on the in vitro release of zingerone and fish peptide-zingerone as well as their antiproliferative effects on colon epithelial Caco-2 cells. The results demonstrated that zingerone can be successfully encapsulated by self-assembling peptides derived from fish viscera with high encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity. Furthermore, transmission electron microscope and confocal laser scanning microscope observations revealed the successful encapsulation of zingerone by fish viscera peptides. In addition, in vitro release and antiproliferative activity against Caco-2 cells can be significantly increased by encapsulating zingerone via peptide self-assembly. The current study advances knowledge of encapsulation of bioactive compounds through peptide self-assembly.

Abstract
Environmentally friendly emulsifiers safe for human consumption are urgently needed to stabilize emulsions for applications in the food industry. In this study, we prepared complexes combining modified aggregated insoluble soybean protein hydrolysate (AISPH) mixed with xanthan gum (XG) (0.05-0.3 %, w/v), and further to construct water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions to deliver vitamin C and β-carotene. We observed a decrease in the AISPH α-helix and β-sheet content, surface hydrophobicity, and fluorescence intensity all decreased after binding. In contrast, the particle size and absolute ξ-potential significantly increased, indicating that molecular non-covalent interactions occurred in the solution. The emulsification property of AISPH was also improved by adding XG, and the AISPH-XG-stabilized emulsion showed improved stability, encapsulation efficiency, and rheological properties. Among them, AISPH-XG-0.25-stabilized emulsion exhibited a smaller particle size (8.41 ± 0.49 μm) and the highest encapsulation efficiency for vitamin C (90.03 ± 0.23 %) and β-carotene (70.56 ± 0.06 %). Additionally, simulated gastric digestion indicated that vitamin C and β-carotene bioavailability increased by 3.6 and 5.8 times, respectively. Finally, the emulsion exhibited good pH, ionic, and thermal stability. In general, AISPH-XG-stabilized W/O/W emulsions showed good stability and carrying capacity, providing a theoretical basis for improving their application.

Abstract
Novel Food is a new category of food, regulated by the European Union Directive No. 2015/2283. This latter norm defines a food as "Novel" if it was not used "for human consumption to a significant degree within the Union before the date of entry into force of that regulation, namely 15 May 1997". Recently, Novel Foods have received increased interest from researchers worldwide. In this sense, the key areas of interest are the discovery of new benefits for human health and the exploitation of these novel sources of materials in new fields of application. An emerging area in the pharmaceutical and medicinal fields is nanotechnology, which deals with the development of new delivery systems at a nanometric scale. In this context, this review aims to summarize the recent advances on the design and characterization of nanodelivery systems based on materials belonging to the Novel Food list, as well as on nanoceutical products formulated for delivering compounds derived from Novel Foods. Additionally, the safety hazard of using nanoparticles in food products, i.e., food supplements, has been discussed in view of the current European regulation, which considers nanomaterials as Novel Foods.

Foods 2023; 12:foods12071523.

Abstract
In this study, soy isoflavones-loaded nanoparticles were prepared using rice proteins (RPs) hydrolyzed by four types of enzyme (alcalase, neutrase, trypsin, and flavorzyme). After optimizing the preparation conditions, the encapsulation efficiency (EE) of the nanoparticles ranged from 61.16% ± 0.92% to 90.65% ± 0.19%. The RPs that were hydrolyzed by flavorzyme with a molecular weight of <5 KDa showed better characters on the formation of nanoparticles, and the formed nanoparticles had the highest EE and loading capacity (9.06%), the smallest particle size (64.77 nm), the lowest polymer dispersity index (0.19), and the lowest zeta potential (−25.64 mV).The results of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance, X-ray diffraction, and fluorescence spectroscopy showed that the nanoparticles were successfully encapsulated. The study of interaction showed that the formation of nanoparticles may depend mainly on hydrogen bonds, but other interactions, such as hydrophobic interactions and electrostatic interactions, cannot be ignored. After encapsulation, the pH stability, temperature stability, ionic stability, and oxidation resistance of the nanoparticles were enhanced. Moreover, the in vitro release experiment showed that the encapsulated nanoparticles had a certain protective effect on soybean isoflavones. In summary, rice protein hydrolysates are promising carriers for soybean isoflavones.

Abstract
Beta-carotene (BC) as an efficient pro-vitamin is effective in improving vision, immune system and cognitive function as well as preventing coronary diseases and cancer. However, besides its poor chemical stability, the high lipophilic nature of BC reduces its dispersibility and consequently bioavailability which limits its application into food, pharmaceutical and nutraceuticals. Different carriers with vesicular or particulate structures have been studied and utilized for promoting BC solubility, dispersibility, and protection against diverse operational or environmental stresses and also controlling BC release and subsequent bioaccessibility. The current study, therefore reviews different micro/nanocarriers reported on BC encapsulation with special focusing on its bioavailability. Liposomal structures have been successfully used for enhancing BC stability and bioavailability. Besides, emulsion-based carriers including Pickering emulsions, nanoemulsions and microemulsions have been widely evaluated for BC encapsulation and protection. In addition, lipid-based nanoparticles and nanostructural carriers have also been applied successfully for this context. Moreover, gel structures including emulgels, hydrogels and oleogels are studied in some researches. Most of these delivery systems led to higher hydro-solubility and dispersibility of BC which consequently increased its bioavailability; thereupon could promote its application into food, cosmetic and nutraceutical products. However, for remarkable incorporation of BC and other bioactive compounds into edible products, the safety and toxicological aspects of these delivery system especially those designed in nano scale should be addressed in the further researches.

Abstract
This study aimed at exploring dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides from silkworm pupae proteins by in silico analysis and in vitro assessments. In silico analysis of 274 silkworm pupae proteomes indicated that DPP-IV inhibitory peptides can be released from silkworm pupae proteins. In vitro assessments revealed that pepsin and bromelain led to better production of DPP-IV inhibitory peptides from silkworm pupae protein. Notably, peptide fractions (<1 kDa) from pepsin- and bromelain-treated hydrolysates exhibited more potent DPP-IV inhibitory activities. Two novel DPP-IV inhibitory peptides (Leu-Pro-Pro-Glu-His-Asp-Trp-Arg and Leu-Pro-Ala-Val-Thr-Ile-Arg) were identified by LC-MS/MS with IC50 values of 261.17 and 192.47 μM, respectively. Enzyme kinetics data demonstrated that these two peptides displayed a mixed-type DPP-IV inhibition mode, which was further validated by molecular docking data. Overall, in silico analysis combined with in vitro assessments can serve as an effective and rapid approach for discovery of DPP-IV peptides from silkworm pupae proteins.

Abstract
Ultrasound treatment was used to successfully prepare Quercetin (Qu)-loaded Casein phosphopeptides (CPP)/chitosan (CS) nanoparticles. Compared with the control, the above ternary nanoparticles with the smallest size (241.27 nm, decreased by 34.32%), improved encapsulation efficiency of Qu (78.55%, increased by 22.12%) when prepared under following conditions: ultrasonic frequency, 20/35/50 kHz; the power density, 80 W/L; the time, 20 min, and the intermittent ratio, 20 s/5s. Electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions were the main driving forces for nanoparticles formulation, which were strengthened by ultrasound treatment. The compact, homogeneous and spherical composite nanoparticles obtained by sonication were clearly observed by scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope. The environmental stability (NaCl, pH, exposure time, storage time, and simulated gastrointestinal digestion) and antioxidant activity of the ternary nanoparticles were remarkably enhanced after ultrasonic treatment. Furthermore, the ternary nanoparticles prepared by ultrasound exhibited excellent stability in simulated gastrointestinal digestion. The above results indicate that ultrasound not only increases the loading of the nanoparticles on bioactive substances but also improves the environmental stability and antioxidant activity of the formed nanoparticles. Ultrasound-assisted preparation of nanoparticles loaded with bioactive substances could be well used in the functional food and beverage industry.

Hybrid pectin and resistant starch–based hydrogel beads loaded with bromelain using the extrusion gelation method were prepared and evaluated to enhance the activity of bromelain during gastrointestinal passage and thermal processing. The solutions of pectin–resistant starch with bromelain were dropped into the gelation bath containing calcium chloride (0.2 M) solution to develop various types of hydrogel beads. The physicochemical characteristics of the synthesized hydrogel beads were evaluated. The ratio (4.5:1.5 w/w) of pectin and resistant starch concentration significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced the encapsulation efficiency (80.53%). The presence of resistant starch resulted in increased entrapment of bromelain, improved swelling properties with sustained release behavior, and improved gastric stability than pectin hydrogels alone. The swelling of hydrogel beads was higher at pH 7.4 than pH 1.2. Optimized batch of hybrid pectin/resistant starch exhibited a spherical shape. Optical and scanning electron microscopy showed a more packed and spherical shape from the pectin/resistant starch hydrogel bead network. Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy was also used to confirm the presence of bromelain in the hydrogel beads. The encapsulated bromelain in the pectin/hi-maize starch beads produced at a pectin/hi-maize ratio of 4.5:1.5 (percent w/w; formulation P4) obtained the highest relative bromelain activity in all heat treatments including at 95°C, whereas the highest activity of free bromelain was found only at 30°C. Bromelain encapsulated in hydrogels released at a faster rate at simulated intestinal fluid (SIF, pH 7.4) than at simulated gastrointestinal fluid (SGF, pH 1.2).
