Abstract
Recently, there has been an increasing research interest in the development of Pickering emulsions stabilized with naturally derived biopolymeric particles. In this regard, plant gums, obtained as plant exudates or from plant seeds, are considered promising candidates for the development of non-toxic, biocompatible, biodegradable and eco-friendly Pickering stabilizers. The main objective of this review article is to provide a detailed overview and assess the latest advances in the formulation of Pickering emulsions stabilized with plant gum-based particles. The plant gum sources, types and properties are outlined. Besides, the current methodologies used in the production of plant gum particles formed solely of plant gums, or through interactions of plant gums with proteins or other polysaccharides are highlighted and discussed. Furthermore, the work compiles and assesses the innovative applications of plant gum-based Pickering emulsions in areas such as encapsulation and delivery of drugs and active agents, along with the utilization of these Pickering emulsions in the development of active packaging films, plant-based products and low-fat food formulations. The last part of the review presents potential future research trends that are expected to motivate and direct research to areas related to other novel food applications, as well as tissue engineering and environmental applications.

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2024; 23:e13285. [PMID: 38284579 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.13285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
The use of biomolecules, such as proteins, polysaccharides, saponins, and phospholipids, instead of synthetic emulsifiers in food emulsion creation has generated significant interest among food scientists due to their advantages of being nontoxic, harmless, edible, and biocompatible. However, using a single biomolecule may not always meet practical needs for food emulsion applications. Therefore, biomolecules often require modification to achieve ideal interfacial properties. Among them, noncovalent interactions between biomolecules represent a promising physical modification method to modulate their interfacial properties without causing the health risks associated with forming new chemical bonds. Electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, and hydrogen bonding are examples of noncovalent interactions that facilitate biomolecules' effective applications in food emulsions. These interactions positively impact the physical stability, oxidative stability, digestibility, delivery characteristics, response sensitivity, and printability of biomolecule-based food emulsions. Nevertheless, using noncovalent interactions between biomolecules to facilitate their application in food emulsions still has limitations that need further improvement. This review introduced common biomolecule emulsifiers, the promotion effect of noncovalent interactions between biomolecules on the construction of emulsions with different biomolecules, their positive impact on the performance of emulsions, as well as their limitations and prospects in the construction of biomolecule-based emulsions. In conclusion, the future design and development of food emulsions will increasingly rely on noncovalent interactions between biomolecules. However, further improvements are necessary to fully exploit these interactions for constructing biomolecule-based emulsions.

Synthesis and Characterization of Environmentally Friendly Chitosan-Arabic Gum Nanoparticles for Encapsulation of Oregano Essential Oil in Pickering Emulsion.

[PMID: 37836292 PMCID: PMC10574744 DOI: 10.3390/nano13192651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023]
Abstract
The encapsulation of bioactive agents through the utilization of biodegradable nanoparticles is a topic of considerable scientific interest. In this study, microcapsules composed of chitosan (CS) and Arabic gum (GA) nanoparticles were synthesized, encapsulating oregano essential oil (OEO) through Pickering emulsions and subsequent spray drying. The optimization of hybrid chitosan and Arabic gum (CS-GA) nanoparticle formation was carried out via complex coacervation, followed by an assessment of their behavior during the formation of the emulsion. Measurements of the size, contact angle, and interfacial tension of the formed complexes were conducted to facilitate the development of Pickering emulsions for encapsulating the oil under the most favorable conditions. The chitosan-Arabic gum capsules were physically characterized using scanning electron microscopy and fitted to the Beerkan estimation of soil transfer (BEST) model to determine their size distribution. Finally, the OEO encapsulation efficiency was also determined. The optimum scenario was achieved with the CS-GA 1-2 capsules at a concentration of 2% wt, featuring a contact angle of 89.1 degrees, which is ideal for the formation of oil/water (O/W) emulsions. Capsules of approximately 2.5 μm were obtained, accompanied by an encapsulation efficiency of approximately 60%. In addition, the hybrid nanoparticles that were obtained showed high biodegradability. The data within our study will contribute fundamental insights into CS-GA nanoparticles, and the quantitatively analyzed outcomes presented in this study will hold utility for forthcoming applications in environmentally friendly detergent formulations.

Abstract
Cannabidiol (CBD), one of the most promising constituents isolated from Cannabis sativa, exhibits diverse pharmacological actions. However, the applications of CBD are restricted mainly due to its poor oral bioavailability. Therefore, researchers are focusing on the development of novel strategies for the effective delivery of CBD with improved oral bioavailability. In this context, researchers have designed nanocarriers to overcome limitations associated with CBD. The CBD-loaded nanocarriers assist in improving the therapeutic efficacy, targetability, and controlled biodistribution of CBD with negligible toxicity for treating various disease conditions. In this review, we have summarized and discussed various molecular targets, targeting mechanisms and types of nanocarrier-based delivery systems associated with CBD for the effective management of various disease conditions. This strategic information will help researchers in the establishment of novel nanotechnology interventions for targeting CBD.

Abstract
Pickering emulsions are free from molecular and classical surfactants and are stabilized by solid particles, creating long-term stability against emulsion coalescence. Additionally, these emulsions are both environmentally and skin-friendly, creating new and unexplored sensorial perceptions. Although the literature mostly describes conventional emulsions (oil-in-water), there are unconventional emulsions (multiple, oil-in-oil and water-in-water) with excellent prospects and challenges in skin application as oil-free systems, permeation enhancers and topical drug delivery agents, with various possibilities in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. However, up to now, these conventional and unconventional Pickering emulsions are not yet available as commercial products. This review brings to the discussion some important aspects such as the use of phases, particles, rheological and sensorial perception, as well as current trends in the development of these emulsions.

Abstract
Biopolymer electrostatic complexes are popular Pickering stabilizers whose structures greatly affect their interfacial properties. This study comprehensively demonstrated the interfacial adsorption and assembly of dissolved octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) starch (OSA-D)/chitosan (CS) electrostatic complexes with different structures through complementary characterization methods. We found that compared with single-component systems, OSA-D/CS complexes exhibited significantly increased wetting stability and adsorption rate to the interface, which was reinforced by molecular dynamics simulations. Their soft structures and the entanglement of molecular chains led to the formation of thick and highly viscoelastic multilayer adsorbed films, which greatly resisted deformation against shearing forces. The adsorption and assembly of the complexes were strongly influenced by OSA-D/CS ratios and pH, which could be related to the different interfacial interaction strengths. Overall, the electrostatic complexation, structural characteristics, and interfacial properties of OSA-D/CS complexes were well related, thereby providing valuable information for the regulation of controlled interfaces and bulk system properties.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to enhance the transdermal permeation of cannabinoids: cannabidiol (CBD), cannabigerol (CBG) and tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) using chemical permeation enhancer approach and evaluate them for their anti-inflammatory effect in vivo in a paw edema model in rats. Cannabinoids gel formulations were developed using FDA approved inactive ingredients: lactic acid (LA), polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG-400), N-methyl-2 pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). In vitro skin permeation testing (IVPT) showed flux of ∼ 13.25 μg/cm2/h for CBD, ∼9.38 μg/cm2/h for CBG and ∼ 51.74 μg/cm2/h for THCV. Additionally, IVPT study showed cumulative drug permeation of 610.96 ± 88.92 μg/cm2, 432.09 ± 35.59 μg/cm2 and 2384.44 ± 42.22 μg/cm2 from CBD, CBG and THCV gel formulations respectively. Further, effect of excipients on cannabinoid permeation showed that, formulation containing lactic acid, NMP and DMSO showed significantly (p < 0.0001) enhanced flux of cannabinoids as compared to formulation without LA, NMP and DMSO. In vivo studies showed that paw edema was significantly (p < 0.0001) reduced in the groups containing CBD, CBG, THCV as compared to control and placebo formulation. In conclusion, flux of CBD, CBG and THCV was significantly enhanced using chemical permeation enhancers approach which helped in reducing rat paw edema.

Abstract
Lipid nanoparticles are currently used to deliver drugs to specific sites in the body, known as targeted therapy. Conjugates of lipids and drugs to produce drug-enriched phospholipid micelles have been proposed to increase the lipophilic character of drugs to overcome biological barriers. However, their applicability at the topical level is still minimal. Phospholipid micelles are amphiphilic colloidal systems of nanometric dimensions, composed of a lipophilic nucleus and a hydrophilic outer surface. They are currently used successfully as pharmaceutical vehicles for poorly water-soluble drugs. These micelles have high in vitro and in vivo stability and high biocompatibility. This review discusses the use of lipid-drug conjugates as biocompatible carriers for cutaneous application. This work provides a metadata analysis of publications concerning the conjugation of cannabidiol with lipids as a suitable approach and as a new delivery system for this drug.
