Lignin nanoparticle as a vehicle to load, release, and improve the stability and antioxidant activity of curcumin: Comparison between dropping and pouring regimes. Food Chem 2024; 460:140513. [PMID: 39053278 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140513] [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: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Curcumin (Cur) was loaded in lignin nanoparticles (LNP) via an antisolvent method by pouring (P-) and dropping (D-) regimes, respectively, and Cur-loaded LNP (Cur/LNP) were comparatively characterized. The results indicated that P-Cur/LNP (62-92 nm) was much smaller than D-Cur/LNP (134-139 nm). For both regimes, their maximum loading efficiencies were comparable (91 ± 3%), while dropping regime (236.2 mg/g) demonstrated a higher loading capacity than pouring regime (174.6 mg/g). In both regimes, Cur was loaded in an amorphous form via the hydrophobic, hydrogen-bonding, and π-π interactions with lignin matrix and it demonstrated a controlled release in in vitro digestion test. In comparison, Cur in D-Cur/LNP showed higher stabilities against photodegradation, thermal treatment, and 30-d storage than that in P-Cur/LNP, while P-Cur/LNP concluded a higher antioxidant activity than D-Cur/LNP. The present findings attested that LNP was a valuable tool to stabilize and controlled release of lipophilic phytochemicals as well as improve their bioactivities.

Abstract
Alcoholic liver injury has become a leading threat to human health, with complicated pathogenesis and limited therapeutic options. Our previous study showed that Musculus senhousei peptides (MSPs) exhibit protective potential against early-stage alcoholic liver injury, although the underlying mechanism is not yet clear. In this study, histopathological analysis, mRNA abundance of injury-associated biomarkers, the gut microbiota, and faecal metabolome were evaluated using a mouse model subjected to acute alcohol exposure, aiming to identify the mechanism by which MSP can alleviate alcoholic hepatotoxicity. The results showed that MSP intervention significantly ameliorated symptoms of liver injury (suppressed serum ALT increment, hepatic lipid accumulation, and neutrophil infiltration in liver tissue), and reversed the abnormal mRNA abundance of biomarkers associated with oxidative stress (iNOS), inflammation (TNF-α, IL-1β, MCP-1, TNF-R1, and TLR4), and apoptosis (Bax and Casp. 3) in the liver. Moreover, MSP improved intestinal barrier function by increasing the expression of tight junction proteins (Claudin-1 and Claudin-3). Further analysis of faecal microbiota and metabolome revealed that MSP promoted the growth of tryptophan-metabolizing bacteria (Clostridiales, Alistipes, and Odoribacter), leading to increased production of indole derivatives (indole-3-lactic acid and N-acetyltryptophan). These results suggested that MSPs may alleviate alcohol-induced liver injury targeting the gut-liver axis, and could be an effective option for the prevention of alcoholic liver injury.

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
Soft assembly of peptide and curcumin (Cur) molecules enables functional integration by finding dynamic equilibrium states through non-covalent interactions. Herein, we developed two soft assembly systems, curcumin-egg white peptides (Cur-EWP) aggregations (AGs) and Cur-EWP-casein-quaternary chitosan (Cur-EWP-CA-QC) nanoparticles (NPs) to comparatively investigate their therapeutic effects on ulcerative colitis in mice and elucidate their underlying mechanism. Results revealed that Cur-EWP AGs, despite gastrointestinal tract instability, exhibited a propensity for swift accumulation within the colorectal region, enriching mucus-associated and short-chain fatty acid (SCAF)-producing bacteria, restoring the intestinal barrier damage. Whereas, Cur-EWP-CA-QC NPs, benefiting from their remarkable stability and exceptional mucosal adsorption properties, not only enhanced permeability of Cur and EWP in the small intestine to activate the immune response and boost tight junction protein expression but also, in their unabsorbed state, regulated the intestinal flora, exerting potent anti-inflammatory activity. Soft assembly of peptides and hydrophobic nutraceuticals could synergize biological activities to modulate chronic diseases.

Abstract
Recently, oral deliverable strategies of multiple nutraceuticals for ulcerative colitis (UC) mitigation have attracted increasing attention. This study aimed to fabricate facile oral assemblies loaded with egg-white-derived peptides (EWDP) and curcumin based on carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and an γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (MOF). Herein, outer CMCS could coassemble with EWDP (both nutraceuticals and building blocks) into cobweb-like fibrils to promote bridging with inner MOF via coordinative noncovalent interactions (hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction, and electrostatic interaction). Compared with conventional γ-cyclodextrin/MOF-based composites, the above coassembly could also endow the biocompatible assemblies with superior nanoscale colloidal properties, processing applicability (curcumin storage stability, bioaccessibility, and aqueous solubility), and bioactivity. Moreover, the oral synergism of EWDP and curcumin (initially nonsynergistic) for UC mitigation was achieved by alleviating inflammatory damage and gut microbiota imbalance. Overall, the novel assemblies could be a promising amplifier and platform to facilitate oral formulations of various nutraceuticals for food processing and UC relief.

Abstract
Natural phytochemicals have attracted increasing attention because of their promising ability to tackle bacteriotoxin-induced public safety concerns. However, it is unclear how natural phytochemicals regulate the intestinal barrier dysfunction caused by bacteriotoxin, such as staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA). This study aims to illustrate the in vitro and in vivo protective mechanism of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on SEA-triggered intestinal barrier damage and inflammation. Results show that EGCG alleviates intestinal barrier damage by effectively inhibiting SEA-induced intestinal permeability increase, tight junction protein and mucin loss, and intestinal cell apoptosis. EGCG also reduces intestinal inflammation by suppressing the TLR4-NF-κB/MAPKs-NLRP3 pathway. Importantly, EGCG reverses gut microbiota dysbiosis and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) content decrease induced by SEA. It is worth noting that this study also detects the direct interaction between the phytochemical and virulence factors and finds that EGCG effectively not only inhibits the secretion of SEA but also binds with the secreted SEA to attenuate its toxicity. Taken together, EGCG mitigates SEA-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction via gut microbiota SCFA-mediated TLR4-NF-κB/MAPKs-NLRP3 inflammatory cascade inhibition. Overall, this research provides enlightening insight into the application of bacteriotoxin-targeting natural compounds in the field of food safety and human wellness.

Abstract
Natural multicomponent peptides with abundant bioactivity, varied sizes, and tunable interaction potential are available for rational designing novel self-assembled delivery carriers. Herein, we exploited zein-hyaluronic acid nanoparticles (Z-HA NPs) with a predetermined ordered structure as precursor templates to induce the self-assembly of egg white-derived peptides (EWDP) to generate stable spherical architectures for the enhancement of curcumin (Cur). The resulting Z-EWDP-HA NPs encapsulated hydrophobic Cur through robust hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions with high encapsulation efficiency (97.38% at pH 7.0). The NPs presented superior Cur aqueous solubility, redispersibility, and photothermal stability. More importantly, the self-assembled EWDP could exert synergistic antioxidant activity with Cur and enhance the bioaccessibility of Cur. Meanwhile, the favorable biocompatibility and membrane affinity of EWDP further prolonged residence and time-controlled release feature of Cur in the small intestine. Precursor template-induced multicomponent peptides' self-assembly provides an efficient and controllable strategy for co-enhanced bioactivity and self-assembly capacity of peptides, which could dramatically broaden the functionalization of multicomponent peptides hydrolyzed from natural food proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Egg-derived peptides are becoming increasingly popular due to their biological activity and non-toxic effects. The egg-derived peptides Arg-Val-Pro-Ser-Leu (RVPSL) and Gln-Ile-Gly-Leu-Phe (QIGLF) display strong angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activity and they can be taken up by intestinal epithelial cells. The interaction of the egg-derived peptides RVPSL and QIGLF with the membrane remains unclear. RESULTS The position and structure of the peptides in the membrane were calculated. The maximum density values of RVPSL and QIGLF were 2.27 and 1.22 nm from the center of the 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) membrane, respectively, indicating that peptides penetrated the membrane-water interface and were embedded in the membrane. The interaction of RVPSL and QIGLF with the DPPC membrane did not affect the average area per lipid or the lipid sequence parameters. The thermodynamic parameters ΔH, ΔG, and ΔS of the interaction between the peptide RVPSL with the DPPC membrane were 17.91 kJ mol-1 , -17.63 kJ mol-1 , 187.5 J mol-1 ·k-1 , respectively. The thermodynamic parameters ΔH, ΔG, and ΔS of the interaction between peptide QIGLF with DPPC membrane were 17.10 kJ mol-1 , -17.12 kJ mol-1 , 114.8 J mol-1 ·k-1 , respectively. CONCLUSION The results indicated that the binding of peptides RVPSL and QIGLF to DPPC is an endothermic, spontaneous, and entropy-driven reaction. The results of the study are relevant to the problem of the low bioavailability of bioactive peptides (BP). © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

This study aimed to fabricate a novel codelivery system to simultaneously load β-carotene and curcumin in a controlled and synergistic manner. We hypothesized that the aggregates of octenylsuccinated Gastrodia elata starch (OSGES) could efficiently load and control the release of β-carotene and curcumin in combination. Mechanisms underlying the self-assembly of OSGES, coloading, and corelease of β-carotene and curcumin by relevant aggregates were studied. The OSGES could form aggregates with a size of 120.2 nm containing hydrophobic domains surrounded by hydrophilic domains. For coloading, the increased solubilities were attributed to favorable interactions between β-carotene and curcumin as well as interactions with octenyl and starch moieties via hydrophobic and hydrogen-bond interactions, respectively. The β-carotene and curcumin molecules occupied the interior and periphery of hydrophobic domains of OSGES aggregates, respectively, and they did not exist in isolation but interacted with each other. The β-carotene and curcumin combination-loaded OSGES aggregates with a size of 310.5 nm presented a more compact structure than β-carotene-only and curcumin-only loaded OSGES aggregates with sizes of 463.5 and 202.9 nm respectively, suggesting that a transition from a loose cluster to a compact cluster was accompanied by coloading. During in vitro digestion, the joint effect of β-carotene and curcumin prolonged their release and increased their bioaccessibility due to competition between favorable hydrophobic and hydrogen-bond interactions and the unfavorable structure erosion and relaxation of the loaded aggregates. Therefore, OSGES aggregates were designed for the codelivery of β-carotene and curcumin, indicating their potential to be applied in functional foods and dietary supplements.

Abstract
Impaired intestinal barrier function can impede the digestion and absorption of nutrients and cause a range of metabolic disorders, which are the main causes of intestinal disease. Evidence suggests that proper dietary protein intake can prevent and alleviate intestinal diseases. Egg white protein (EWP) has received considerable attention, because of its high protein digestibility and rich amino acid composition. Furthermore, bioactive peptides may have an increased repair effect due to their high degradation efficiency in the gut. In this study, we aimed to review the effects of EWP and its bioactive peptides on intestinal structural repair. The potential modulation mechanisms by which EWP and their peptides regulate the gut microbiota and intestinal barrier can be summarized as follows: (1) restoring the structure of the intestinal barrier to its intact form, (2) enhancing the intestinal immune system and alleviating the inflammatory response and oxidative damage, and (3) increasing the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria and metabolites. Further in-depth analysis of the coregulation of multiple signaling pathways by EWP is required, and the combined effects of these multiple mechanisms requires further evaluation in experimental models. Human trials can be considered to understand new directions for development.

Abstract
Food protein-derived multicomponent peptides (FPDMPs) are a natural blend of numerous peptides with various bioactivities and multiple active sites that can assume several energetically favorable conformations in solutions. The remarkable structural characteristics and functional attributes of FPDMPs make them promising codelivery carriers that can coassemble with different bioactive ingredients to induce multidimensional structures, such as fibrils, nanotubes, and nanospheres, thereby producing specific health benefits. This review offers a prospective analysis of FPDMPs-based self-assembly nanostructures, focusing on the mechanism of formation of self-assembled FPDMPs, the internal and external stimuli affecting peptide self-assembly, and their potential applications. In particular, we introduce the exciting prospect of constructing functional materials through precursor template-induced self-assembly of FPDMPs, which combine the bioactivity and self-assembly capacity of peptides and could dramatically broaden the functional utility of peptide-based materials.

Abstract
In order to address the issue of nobiletin's limited bioavailability, nobiletin nanoparticles (NNP) were created for the first time in this research employing an anti-solvent under ultrasonication-cis/reverse homogenization. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used as the solvent and deionized water as the anti-solvent to create the nobiletin solution. The optimal surfactant dose of surfactant dose of 0.43%; an ultrasonic period of 8.1 min, ultrasonic at a temperature of 64 °C and a solution concentration of 8.33 mg/mL, the method was optimized to obtain the minimum NNP diameter of 199.89 ± 0.02 nm. A dual optimization process of response surface PBD and BBD was used to minimize the size of HNP particles. Additionally, scanning electron microscopy revealed that the specific surface area of the NNP dramatically increased with the reduction of NNP particle size, and dissolving studies indicated the solubility and dissolution studies showed that NNP had substantially greater solubility and dissolution rates than raw nobiletin per unit time; as a result, the NNP produced by anti-solvent precipitation with a twofold homogenization system supported by ultrasound had a realistic potential for growth.

Abstract
Hesperidin nanoparticles (HNPs) were made for the first time employing an antisolvent recrystallization technique in a double homogenate system with positive and negative clockwise rotation in order to completely use the underutilized nutritional components in citrus peel. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethanol, and deionized water were used as the solvents and antisolvents in the hesperidin solution preparation. Hesperidin solution concentration of 60.26 mg/mL, homogenization speed of 8257 rpm, antisolvent-to-solvent volume ratio of 6.93 mL/mL, and homogenization time of 3.15 min were the ideal experimental conditions. HNPs have to be at least 72.24 nm in size. The structures of the produced hesperidin samples and the raw hesperidin powder were identical, according to the findings of the FTIR, XRD, and TG characterization tests. The HNP sample had an in vitro absorption rate that was 5.63 and 4.23 times greater than that of the raw hesperidin powder, respectively. It was discovered that DMSO was more suited than ethanol for creating HNP particles. In the realms of dietary supplements, therapeutic applications, and health promotion, the HNPs produced by the ARDH technology would be a potential formulation on increasing uses for a wider range of nutraceuticals (synergistic).

Abstract
Oral administration of bioactive peptides with α-glucosidase inhibitory activities is a promising strategy for diabetes mellitus. The wheat germ peptide Leu-Asp-Leu-Gln-Arg (LDLQR) has been previously proven to inhibit the activity of α-glucosidase efficiently. However, it is still difficult to transport the peptide to the intestine completely due to the harsh condition of the stomach. Herein, an acid-resistant zirconium-based metal-organic framework, NU-1000, was used to immobilize LDLQR with a high encapsulation capacity (92.72%) and encapsulation efficiency (44.08%) in only 10 min. The in vitro release results showed that the acid-stable NU-1000 not only effectively protected LDLQR from degradation in the presence of stomach acid and pepsin effectively but also ensured the release of encapsulated LDLQR under simulated intestinal conditions. Furthermore, LDLQR@NU-1000 could slow down the elevated blood sugar caused by maltose in mice and the area under blood sugar curve decreased by almost 20% when compared with the control group. The inflammatory factor (IL-1β, IL-6) in vivo and cell growth in vitro were almost the same between NU-1000 treatment and normal control groups. This study indicates NU-1000 is a promising vehicle for targeted peptide-based bioactive delivery to the small intestine.

Ovalbumin and its Maillard reaction products ameliorate dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis by mitigating the imbalance of gut microbiota and metabolites. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 222:715-724.

Abstract
The Maillard reaction reduces the gastrointestinal digestibility of ovalbumin (OVA) in vitro. However, the regulatory effects of OVA and its Maillard reaction products (MRPs) on gut microbiota disorders remain unknown. In this study, the influence of OVA and its MRPs on the modulation of gut microbiota in mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis was investigated. The results revealed that OVA and its MRPs intake could alleviate the symptoms of colitis and improve the richness and diversity of the gut microbiota. Moreover, the results revealed that the Maillard reaction would block the release of lysine and essential amino acids in vivo, but they variously regulated the gut microbiota and the levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) due to their indigestible properties. These findings provide a basic theory for the rational utilization of OVA and its MRPs as nutraceutical food ingredients in regulating the gut microbiota for maintaining intestinal health.

Abstract
Bioactive or nutraceutical ingredients have been widely used in pursuit of health and well-being. However, the environmental instability, poor solubility and bioavailability, and unspecific delivery highly limited their practical values. By virtue of the unique shell-like structure, definite disassembly/reassembly behavior, and excellent safety profile of ferritin protein, it stands out among of various nano-materials and is emerging as one of the most promising vehicles for the encapsulation and delivery of bioactive ingredients or drugs. In this review, we present a systematic overview of recent advances of ferritin-based delivery systems from single-encapsulation, co-encapsulation, to compartmentalized-encapsulation of bioactive ingredients or drugs. Different encapsulation strategies for cargo loading as well as their advantages and drawbacks have been critically reviewed. This study emphasized the importance of the construction of compartmentalized delivery systems through the usage of ferritin nanocages, which exhibit great potential for facilitating the synergistic functionality of different types of cargos. Lastly, the applications of ferritin nanocages for physicochemical improvements and functionality achievements of loaded cargos are summarized. In conclusion, ferritin protein nanocages not only are excellent nanocarriers, but also can act as"multi-seated" vehicles for co-encapsulation and compartmentalized encapsulation of different cargos simultaneously.

Abstract
In this study, a nanocomposite was developed by introducing egg white-derived peptides (EWDP) into protein-polysaccharide complexes to trigger the self-assembly of EWDP for encapsulating curcumin (Cur) via the pH-driven method. In this system, EWDP could cooperate with protein-polysaccharide complexes to exert superior colloidal properties with excellent Cur aqueous solubility, redispersibility, and physical stability and act as a bioactivity amplifier to endow the delivery system with the synergistic antioxidant activity. This phenomenon was ascribed to the additional hydrophobic cavities, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions organized by EWDP. Additionally, the presence of EWDP could considerably boost the cellular antioxidant activity of Cur by decreasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, improving free radical scavenging capacity, and recovering the activity of endogenous antioxidant enzymes. These findings might open up an avenue to reinforce lipophilic nutraceuticals' physicochemical properties and functionalities based on the co-assembly of food-derived peptides and protein-polysaccharide complexes.
