Abstract
In this study, starch-based nanofiber mats were successfully prepared from aqueous solution by electrospinning and used for probiotic encapsulation for the first time. The physicochemical properties of the octenylsuccinated (OS) starch/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) blend solutions were systematically investigated. Through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction spectra analysis, it was found that miscibility and hydrogen bonding interactions exist between OS starch and PVA molecules. Thermogravimetric analysis and derivative thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the produced nanofibers possess satisfactory thermal stability. Scanning electron microscopy images and diameter distribution histograms showed that continuous and defect-free nanofibers were obtained and along with the increase in the weight ratio of OS starch, the average diameter gradually decreased. In addition, it was confirmed that the probiotics were successfully encapsulated in nanofiber mats. The survival rates of Lactobacillus plantarum AB-1 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG encapsulated in nanofibers were as high as 94.63% and 92.42%, respectively, significantly higher than those of traditional freeze-drying. Moreover, compared to free cells, probiotics encapsulated in nanofiber mats retained better viability after 21 days of storage at 4 and 25°C, and showed remarkably higher survival rates after exposure to simulated gastric and intestinal fluid. This study showed that the developed nanofibers can be a promising encapsulation system for the protection of probiotics.

Abstract
Starch-based composite nanofibrous films loaded with tea polyphenols (TP) were successfully fabricated through electrospinning high amylose corn starch (HACS) with aid of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), referred as HACS/PVA@TP. With the addition of 15 % TP, HACS/PVA@TP nanofibrous films exhibited enhanced mechanical properties and water vapor barrier capability, and their hydrogen bonding interactions were further evidenced. TP was slowly released from the nanofibrous film and followed Fickian diffusion mechanism, which achieved the controlled sustained release of TP. Interesting, HACS/PVA@TP nanofibrous films effectively improved antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and prolonged the shelf life of strawberry. HACS/PVA@TP nanofibrous films showed superior antibacterial function by by destroying cell wall and cytomembrane, and degrading existing DNA fragments, stimulating excessive intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Our study demonstrated that the functional electrospun Starch-based nanofibrous films with enhanced mechanical properties and superior antimicrobial activities were potential for the application in active food packaging and relative areas.

Abstract
Pyrimethanil (PMT) is an anilinopyrimidine bactericide with poor water solubility, which limits its applications. To improve the physical and chemical properties of PMT, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin/pyrimethanil inclusion compound nanofibers (HPβCD/PMT-IC-NFs) were fabricated via electrospinning. A variety of analytical techniques were used to confirm the formation of the inclusion compound. Scanning electron microscopy image displayed that HPβCD/PMT-IC-NF was homogeneous without particles. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the formation of the inclusion compound improved the thermostability of PMT. In addition, the phase solubility test illustrated that the inclusion compound formed by PMT and HPβCD had a stronger water solubility. The antifungal effect test exhibited that HPβCD/PMT-IC-NF had better antifungal properties. The release experiment confirmed that HPβCD/PMT-IC-NF had a sustained-release effect, and the release curve conformed to the first-order kinetic model equation. In short, the fabrication HPβCD/PMT-IC-NF inhibited improved solubility and thermostability of PMT, thus promoting the development of pesticide dosage form to water-based and low-pollution direction.

Abstract
The high target specificity and multifunctionality of proteins has led to great interest in their clinical use. To this end, the development of delivery systems capable of preserving their bioactivity and improving bioavailability is pivotal to achieve high effectiveness and satisfactory therapeutic outcomes. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) techniques, namely electrospinning and electrospraying, have been widely explored for protein encapsulation and delivery. In this work, monoaxial and coaxial electrospinning and electrospraying were used to encapsulate alkaline phosphatase (ALP) into poly(ethylene oxide) fibres and particles, respectively, and the effects of the processing techniques on the integrity and bioactivity of the enzyme were assessed. A full morphological and physicochemical characterisation of the blend and core-shell products was performed. ALP was successfully encapsulated within monolithic and core-shell electrospun fibres and electrosprayed particles, with drug loadings and encapsulation efficiencies of up to 21% and 99%, respectively. Monoaxial and coaxial electrospinning were equally effective in preserving ALP function, leading to no activity loss compared to fresh aqueous solutions of the enzyme. While the same result was observed for monoaxial electrospraying, coaxial electrospraying of ALP caused a 40% reduction in its bioactivity, which was attributed to the high voltage (22.5 kV) used during processing. This demonstrates that choosing between blend and coaxial EHD processing for protein encapsulation is not always straightforward, being highly dependent on the chosen therapeutic agent and the effects of the processing conditions on its bioactivity.

Abstract
Proteins are biological macromolecules involved in a wide range of biological functions, which makes them very appealing as therapeutics agents. Indeed, compared to small molecule drugs, their endogenous nature ensures their biocompatibility and biodegradability, they can be used in a large range of applications and present a higher specificity and activity. However, they suffer from unfolding, enzymatic degradation, short half-life and poor membrane permeability. To overcome such drawbacks, the development of protein delivery systems to protect, carry and deliver them in a controlled way have emerged importantly these last years. In this review, the formulation of a wide panel of protein delivery systems either in the form of polymer or inorganic nanoengineered colloids and scaffolds are presented and the protein loading and release mechanisms are addressed. A section is also dedicated to the detection of proteins and the characterization methods of their release. Then, the main protein delivery systems developed these last three years for anticancer, tissue engineering or diabetes applications are presented, as well as the major in vivo models used to test them. The last part of this review aims at presenting the perspectives of the field such as the use of protein-rich material or the sequestration of proteins. This part will also deal with less common applications and gene therapy as an indirect method to deliver protein.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing food safety awareness of consumers promotes the development of rapid and sensitive detection techniques for pesticide residues. In this study, a new type of rapid detection card for organophosphorus and carbamate pesticide residues was developed by electrospinning. The card involved enzyme fiber mat (EFM) and substrate fiber mat (SFM) which were prepared by mixing poly(vinyl alcohol) with acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and indolyl acetate (IA), respectively. RESULTS The mean diameter of fibers was 240 ± 53 nm for EFM and 387 ± 84 nm for SFM. Results of Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies confirmed that AChE and IA were successfully encapsulated into the fibers. The minimum concentrations of AChE and IA for effective detection were 1 and 3 mg mL-1 , respectively, and the optimal detection time was 15 min. The limits of detection for this card were 0.5 mg L-1 for omethoate, 1.5 mg L-1 for malathion, 0.1 mg L-1 for carbaryl and 0.02 mg L-1 for carbofuran. The detection card exhibited good storage stability and its activity could be maintained when stored at room temperature for at least 4 months. Additionally, the EFM can be reused three times. CONCLUSIONS The detection card obtained here was superior to a commercial card in detecting pesticide residues in real food samples. Hence, this electrospun detection card has potential for simple, rapid and sensitive analysis of pesticide residues. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The interest in wound healing characteristics of bioactive constituents and therapeutic agents, especially natural compounds, is increasing because of their therapeutic properties, cost-effectiveness, and few adverse effects. Lately, nanocarriers as a drug delivery system have been actively investigated and applied in medical and therapeutic applications. In recent decades, researchers have investigated the incorporation of natural or synthetic substances into novel bioactive electrospun nanofibrous architectures produced by the electrospinning method for skin substitutes. Therefore, the development of nanotechnology in the area of dressings that could provide higher performance and a synergistic effect for wound healing is needed. Natural compounds with antimicrobial, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory activity in combination with nanostructured fibers represent a future approach due to the increased wound healing process and regeneration of the lost tissue. This paper presents different approaches in producing electrospun nanofibers, highlighting the electrospinning process used in fabricating innovative wound dressings that are able to release natural and/or synthetic substances in a controlled way, thus enhancing the healing process.

Abstract
Phycocyanin (PC), a water-soluble biliprotein, exhibits potent anti-colon cancer properties. However, its application in functional foods is limited by the poor stability and low bioavailability of PC. In this study, we successfully encapsulated PC by coaxial electrospinning. The colon targeted release of PC was achieved with retention of the antioxidant activity of PC. The PC-loaded electrospun fiber mat (EFM) obtained inhibited HCT116 cell growth in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. In particular, the PC-loaded EFM exerted its anti-cancer activity by blocking the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase and inducing cell apoptosis involving the decrease of Bcl-2/Bax, activation of caspase 3 and release of cytochrome c. This study suggests that co-axial electrospinning is an efficient and effective way to deliver PC and improve its bioavailability; thus, it represents a promising approach for encapsulating functional ingredients for colon cancer prevention.

Abstract
A novel BG composite sponge comprising of bacterial cellulose (BC) and gelatin has been synthesized using glutaraldehyde as the cross-linker by a facile method. The morphology, chemical composition and structures of the novel sponges were characterized by SEM, EDS and FTIR spectroscopy. The fabricated BG sponges have regular honeycomb-like structure with uniform pore distribution and large surface area. They have very high porosity of 94%-95% and great swelling property ranging from 3000 to 3150%. Moreover, the released rate of the model drug ampicillin (AP) from the composite sponges depends on the initial addition of AP that the diffusional constant (n) determined using Korsmeyer-Peppas model lies between 0.45 and 0.89, indicating the AP release from BG composite sponges follows non-Fickian diffusion. More interestingly, antibacterial activity of BG sponges was investigated by diffusion disk method against E.coli, C. albicans and S. aureus. The results demonstrated that the obtained BG sponges exhibit excellent antibacterial activity, thus making them have great potentials in various antibacterial applications, especially in the wound dressings.

Abstract
The antioxidant quercetin (Q) is a bioactive compound that can inhibit colon cancer. However, its poor stability in the upper gastro-intestinal tract and low bioavailability compromised its benefits. In this study, a biopolymer-based colon-specific delivery system for Q was constructed by co-axial electrospinning. Quercetin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (QCNP) were firstly prepared and characterized. Then, a Q-loaded electrospun fiber mat (Q-loaded EFM) containing prebiotics (galactooligosaccharide, GOS) was fabricated using sodium alginate as the shell layer and the abovementioned QCNP and prebiotics as the core layer. The DPPH assay showed that the antioxidant activity of Q was maintained in the obtained film. Owing to the addition of prebiotic GOS, the obtained fiber mat exhibited good prebiotic effects. In vitro release kinetics showed a sustained and targeted colon-specific release of Q from the Q-loaded EFM containing GOS, and the release rate of Q was enhanced by the presence of GOS. The obtained film also exhibited inhibition effects on Caco-2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy analysis indicated that the Q-loaded EFM containing GOS exerted its activity on colonic cancer cells by arresting the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase and triggering apoptotic cell death. This study demonstrates the potential of the obtained film as an oral delivery system for encapsulation, protection, and release of Q at the colon for the oral therapy of colon disorders.

Abstract
The biomaterials design as core-shell structures opens a new door to the release of susceptible biomolecules in a controllable manner and enables to place natural biomaterials as shell layers to impart the effective biofunctional features at surfaces. In this study, core-shell designed scaffolds were prepared using coaxial electrospinning with hybrid of gelatin (GT)/polycaprolactone (PCL) at different weight ratios as their shell and protein solution as their core, followed by cross-linking to impart controllable release rates, tunable mechanical properties, and enhanced cytocompatibility. SEM, FM, and TEM confirmed the successful production of uniform core-shell nanofibers and homogeneous protein distribution. Results showed that an increase in GT proportion in the shell resulted in a decrease in fiber diameter, an increase of Young's modulus, and an intense burst release of BSA 0.2% which could be controlled through cross-linking. The mechanical tests revealed that the GT/PCL combining and cross-linking improved mechanical properties which correlated with an increase in spreading and proliferation of HUVECs. A slight burst release was also detected from BSA 0.05% and EGF encapsulated GT73P-cross-linked scaffold which demonstrated their applicability for a controlled release of dilute proteins. We were able to successfully incorporate two types of protein with different concentrations without supporting polymer into the GT shell to provide scaffolds possessing tunable mechanical properties and controllable release rates through blending with PCL at different ratios and/or cross-linking. These findings are promising to promote delivery systems of angiogenic growth factors that are needed a sustained release with different rates at each angiogenesis stage. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
To improve the oral bioavailability of quercetin (Q) and achieve colon-specific release, a core-sheath electrospun fiber mat containing Q-loaded chitosan nanoparticle (Q-loaded EFM) was developed in this study. The nanoparticle was first fabricated, and its antioxidant activity was as effective as free Q. Then the uniform Q-loaded EFM was obtained using response surface methodology optimization, and its core-sheath structure was characterized by confocal laser scanning microscopy. In vitro release kinetics confirmed the colon targeting profile, and the release rate of Q varied inversely with fiber diameter. The data of Cell Counting Kit-8 suggested Q-loaded EFM inhibited the proliferation of Caco-2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner with an IC50 of 4.36, 2.81, and 2.01 mg/mL after 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively, and it was caused by arresting cell cycle on G0/G1 phase and triggering apoptotic cell death. This study suggests that the Q-loaded EFM represents a promising form in the oral therapy of colon disorders.

Abstract
Electrospinning is a simple and versatile encapsulation technology. Since electrospinning does not involve severe conditions of temperature or pressure or the use of harsh chemicals, it has great potential for effectively entrapping and delivering bioactive compounds. Recently, electrospinning has been used in the food industry to encapsulate bioactive compounds into different biopolymers (carbohydrates and proteins), protecting them from adverse environmental conditions, maintaining the health-promoting properties, and achieving their controlled release. Electrospinning opens a new horizon in food technology with possible commercialization in the near future. This review summarizes the principles and the types of electrospinning processes. The electrospinning of biopolymers and their application in encapsulating of bioactive compounds are highlighted. The existing scope, limitations, and future prospects of electrospinning bioactive compounds are also presented.
