Tian M, Cheng J, Guo M. Stability, Digestion, and Cellular Transport of Soy Isoflavones Nanoparticles Stabilized by Polymerized Goat Milk Whey Protein. Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:567. [PMID: 38790672 PMCID: PMC11117734 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13050567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Soy isoflavones (SIF) are bioactive compounds with low bioavailability due to their poor water solubility. In this study, we utilized polymerized goat milk whey protein (PGWP) as a carrier to encapsulate SIF with encapsulation efficiency of 89%, particle size of 135.53 nm, and zeta potential of -35.16 mV. The PGWP-SIF nanoparticles were evaluated for their stability and in vitro digestion properties, and their ability to transport SIF was assessed using a Caco-2 cell monolayer model. The nanoparticles were resistant to aggregation when subjected to pH changes (pH 2.0 to 8.0), sodium chloride addition (0-200 mM), temperature fluctuations (4 °C, 25 °C, and 37 °C), and long-term storage (4 °C, 25 °C, and 37 °C for 30 days), which was mainly attributed to the repulsion generated by steric hindrance effects. During gastric digestion, only 5.93% of encapsulated SIF was released, highlighting the nanoparticles' resistance to enzymatic digestion in the stomach. However, a significant increase in SIF release to 56.61% was observed during intestinal digestion, indicating the efficient transport of SIF into the small intestine for absorption. Cytotoxicity assessments via the MTT assay showed no adverse effects on Caco-2 cell lines after encapsulation. The PGWP-stabilized SIF nanoparticles improved the apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) of Caco-2 cells for SIF by 11.8-fold. The results indicated that using PGWP to encapsulate SIF was an effective approach for delivering SIF, while enhancing its bioavailability and transcellular transport.

Li H, Liu M, Ju X, Zhang H, Xia N, Wang J, Wang Z, Rayan AM. Physico-Chemical Characteristics of pH-Driven Active Film Loading with Curcumin Based on the Egg White Protein and Sodium Alginate Matrices. Foods 2024; 13:1340. [PMID: 38731711 PMCID: PMC11083475 DOI: 10.3390/foods13091340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
The low solubility and stability of fat-soluble curcumin in water limit its application in active packaging. This study explored the use of a pH-driven method to investigate the preparation and enhancement of the performance of films loaded with curcumin in a matrix of sodium alginate (Alg) and egg white protein (EWP). In this study, the EWP, Alg, and curcumin primarily bind through hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and hydrophobic interactions. Compared to EWP films, the films loaded with curcumin through the pH-driven method exhibited enhanced extensibility and water resistance, with an elongation at break (EB) of 103.56 ± 3.13% and a water vapor permeability (WVP) of 1.67 ± 0.03 × 10-10 g·m/m2·Pa·s. The addition of Alg improved the encapsulation efficiency and thermal stability of curcumin, thereby enhancing the antioxidant activity of the film through the addition of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radicals, which resulted in 106.95 ± 2.61 μg TE/g and 144.44 ± 8.89 μg TE/g, respectively. It is noteworthy that the detrimental effect of Alg on the color responsiveness of films containing curcumin has also been observed. This study provides a potential strategy and consideration for the loading of low water-soluble active substances and the preparation of active packaging.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare and characterize the theoretical properties and interaction mechanisms of zein and isoquercetin (ISO) from experimental and theoretical perspectives. Zein nanoparticles with different ISO concentrations (ZINPs) were prepared by the antisolvent precipitation method. The experimental results indicated all particles appeared spherical. When the mass ratio of zein to ISO was 10:1, the encapsulation efficiency of ZINPs reached 88.19 % with an average diameter of 126.67 nm. The multispectral method and molecular docking results confirmed that hydrogen bonding and van der Waals force played a dominant role for the binding of ISO to zein, and the primary fluorescence quenching mechanism for zein by ISO was static quenching. Furthermore, ZINPs had greater solubility and antioxidant activity, as well as inhibited the release of ISO during simulated gastrointestinal digestion processes. This research contributes to the understanding of the non-covalent binding mechanism between zein and ISO, providing a theoretical basis for the construction of ISO active carriers.

Abstract
Herein, we review the current state-of-the-art on the use of micro- and nano-delivery systems, a possible solution to some of the drawbacks associated with the incorporation of resveratrol in foods. Specifically, we present an overview of a wide range of micro-nanostructures, namely, lipidic and polymeric, used for the delivery of resveratrol. Also, the gastrointestinal fate of resveratrol-loaded micro-nanostructures, as a critical parameter for their use as functional food, is explored in terms of stability, bioaccessibility, and bioavailability. Different micro-nanostructures are of interest for the development of functional foods given that they can provide different advantages and properties to these foods and even be tailor-made to address specific issues (e.g., controlled or targeted release). Therefore, we discuss a wide range of micro-nanostructures, namely, lipidic and polymeric, used to deliver resveratrol and aimed at the development of functional foods. It has been reported that the use of some production methodologies can be of greater interest than others, for example, emulsification, solvent displacement and electrohydrodynamic processing (EHDP) enable a greater increase in bioaccessibility. Additionally, the use of coatings facilitates further improvements in bioaccessibility, which is likely due to the increased gastric stability of the coated micro-nanostructures. Other properties, such as mucoadhesion, can also help improve bioaccessibility due to the increase in gut retention time. Additionally, cytotoxicity (e.g., biocompatibility, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory) and possible sensorial impact of resveratrol-loaded micro- and nano-systems in foods are highlighted.

Abstract
Nanoencapsulation has found numerous applications in the food and nutraceutical industries. Micro and nanoencapsulated forms of bioactives have proven benefits in terms of stability, release, and performance in the body. However, the encapsulated ingredient is often subjected to a wide range of processing conditions and this is followed by storage, consumption, and transit along the gastrointestinal tract. A strong understanding of the fate of nanoencapsulates in the biological system is mandatory as it provides valuable insights for ingredient selection, formulation, and application. In addition to their efficacy, there is also the need to assess the safety of ingested nanoencapsulates. Given the rising research and commercial focus of this subject, this review provides a strong focus on their interaction factors and mechanisms, highlighting their prospective biological fate. This review also covers various approaches to studying the fate of nanoencapsulates in the body. Also, with emphasis on the overall scope, the need for a new advanced integrated common methodology to evaluate the fate of nanoencapsulates post-administration is discussed.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RES) is a common active factor in the functional food field, but poor water solubility and low bioavailability have limited its application. In the present study, the novel nanoparticles (RES-CBFMP NPs) using floral mushroom polysaccharide as the wall material have been developed for delivering RES, aiming to overcome its application shortcomings. After ratio optimization, RES-CBFMP NPs (RES-CBFMP,1:8 w/w), which combined through the hydrogen bonds between RES and CBFMP, showed the best overall performance, with the encapsulation efficiency (EE) of 49.74 ± 0.16%, loading efficiency (LE) of 5.53 ± 0.02%, particle size of 158.56 ± 1.97 nm and zeta-potential of -17.56 ± 0.24 mV. In addition, RES-CBFMP NPs exhibited good physicochemical stabilities, sustained gastrointestinal digestive release property, as well as improved in vitro antioxidant and anticancer activities. This study may contribute to the development of RES oral delivery systems and the application of hydrophobic active molecules in the functional food field.

Abstract
The poor solubility, instability and low absorption rate obstruct the bioavailability of polyphenols isolated from Malus baccata (MBP) during gastrointestinal digestion. In order to solve the limitable problems, the food-grade nanoparticles were fabricated by mucin (MC) and Hohenbuehelia serotina polysaccharides (HSP) for delivery of MBP (MBP-NPs). The physicochemical properties and morphology of MBP-NPs prepared by different condition were respectively characterized. During gastrointestinal digestion in vitro, the release characteristic and variation in phenolic composition of MBP-NPs were evaluated. The results showed that MBP-NPs formed by hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction possessed the regularly spherical shapes and smooth surfaces and semi-crystalline properties. Moreover, MBP-NPs presented the excellent physicochemical stability. During simulated gastrointestinal digestion in vitro, MBP-NPs exhibited the sustained release characteristics of phenolic compounds, which were confirmed by SDS-PAGE measurement. Compared with that of unencapsulated MBP, the significant variation was occurred in the phenolic composition of MBP-NPs, indicating that MBP-NPs could prevent the degradation and transformation of phenolic compounds. This study provides a novel strategy to improve the bioavailability of polyphenols.

Abstract
The objective of this work is to formulate a zein-based nanocomposite for the delivery of natural polyphenols. A proprietary atomizing/antisolvent precipitation (AAP) process was used to prepare carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)-coated zein/soy lecithin (SL) nanoparticles (ZLC NPs). At a suitable mass ratio of zein/SL/CMC (100 : 30 : 30), ZLC NPs with desirable redispersibility and physicochemical stability were successfully fabricated. After that, resveratrol (Res) as the representative natural polyphenol was encapsulated in ZLC NPs. The optimized Res/ZLC NPs exhibited a spherical morphology, small size (259.43 ± 2.47 nm), large zeta potential (-47.7 ± 0.66 mV), and high encapsulation efficiency (91.32 ± 4.01%) and loading capacity (5.27 ± 0.35%). Further characterization indicated that Res was encapsulated in the hydrophobic core of the ZLC matrix in an amorphous state. Compared to free Res, Res/ZLC NPs showed a 2.55-fold increase in the Res dissolution rate, a 2.27-fold increase in bioaccessibility, and a 1.69-fold increase in ABTS˙+ scavenging activity. Also, Res/ZLC NPs showed a higher Res retention rate (>68.0%) than free Res (<35.0%) over 45 days of storage. Therefore, ZLC NPs have promising potential as vehicles for natural polyphenols.

Abstract
With the high production and consumption of tea around the world, efficient utilization of tea byproducts (tea pruning, tea residues after production, and drinking) is the focus of improving the economy of the tea industry. This review comprehensively discusses the efficient utilization of tea resources by encapsulation from the dual perspectives of core material and wall material. The core material is mainly tea polyphenols, followed by tea oils. The encapsulation system for tea polyphenols includes microcapsules, nanoparticles, emulsions, gels, conjugates, metal-organic frameworks, liposomes, and nanofibers. In addition, it is also diversified for the encapsulation of tea oils. Tea resources as wall materials refer to tea saponins, tea polyphenols, tea proteins, and tea polysaccharides. The application of the tea-based delivery system widely involves functionally fortified food, meat preservation, film, medical treatment, wastewater treatment, and plant protection. In the future, the coencapsulation of tea resources as core materials and other functional ingredients, the precise targeting of these tea resources, and the wide application of tea resources in wall materials need to be focused on. In conclusion, the described technofunctional properties and future research challenges in this review should be followed.

Abstract
In recent times, nutrition and diet have become prominent health paradigms due to sedentary lifestyle disorders. Preventive health care strategies are becoming increasingly popular instead of treating and managing diseases. A nutraceutical is an innovative concept that offers additional health benefits beyond its fundamental nutritional value. These nutraceuticals have the potential to reduce the exorbitant use of synthetic drugs because the modern medicine approach of treating diseases with high-tech, expensive supplements, and long-term consequences aggravates consumers. However, most nutraceuticals are plant-derived, making them susceptible to degradation and prone to chemical instability, poor solubility, unpleasant taste, and bioactivity loss before absorption to the targeted site. To counteract this problem, the bioavailability of these labile compounds can be maximized by encapsulating them in protective nanocarriers. It is crucial that nanoencapsulation technologies convert bioactive compounds into forms that can be easily combined with functional foods and beverages without adversely affecting their organoleptic properties. In recent years, nanoformulations using food-grade materials, such as polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, etc., have received considerable attention. Among them, microbial polysaccharides are biocompatible, nontoxic, and nonimmunogenic, and most of them are US-FDA approved and can undergo tailored modifications. The nanoformulation of microbial polysaccharide is a relatively new frontier which has several advantages over existing systems. The present article, for the first time, comprehensively reviews microbial polysaccharides-based nanodelivery systems for nutraceuticals and discusses various techno-commercial aspects of these nanotechnological preparations. Moreover, this has also attempted to draw a future research perspective in this area.

Abstract
The properties of nutraceutical-loaded biopolymer nanoparticles fabricated by antisolvent co-precipitation (ASCP) and precipitation (ASP) were compared. Curcumin-loaded zein-tea saponin nanoparticles were fabricated using both methods and then their structural and physicochemical properties were characterized. The diameter of the nanoparticles prepared by ASCP were smaller (120-130 nm) than those prepared by ASP (140-160 nm). The encapsulation efficiency of the ASCP-nanoparticles (80.0%) was higher than the ASP-ones (71.0%) at a zein-to-curcumin mass ratio of 3:1, which was also higher than previous studies. The storage and light stability of curcumin was higher in zein-saponin nanoparticles than in zein nanoparticles. All nanoparticles had good water dispersibility after freeze-drying and rehydration. This study shows that nanoparticles produced by antisolvent co-precipitation have superior properties to those produced by antisolvent precipitation. The co-precipitation method leads to a higher encapsulation efficiency, smaller particle size, and greater storage stability, which may be advantageous for some applications.

Abstract
Resveratrol is a well-studied dietary polyphenol with diverse health-promoting bioactivities. However, the aqueous insolubility and chemical instability of resveratrol hamper its practical application. This study set out to address these limitations by constructing zein-fucoidan composite nanoparticles as a delivery system of resveratrol. The optimized resveratrol-loaded zein-fucoidan particles (RE-ZFP) were obtained at zein-to-fucoidan ratio of 2:1 (w/w) and zein-to-resveratrol ratio of 10:1 (w/w), and RE-ZFP showed evenly distributed and smoothly spherical microstructures, mean particle size of 121 nm, ζ-potential of - 41 mV, encapsulation efficiency for resveratrol of 95.4%. Electrostatic, steric, hydrophobic, and hydrogen-bonding interactions were major forces required to form RE-ZFP. In addition, RE-ZFP exhibited greater photostability and colloidal stability (including pH, ionic, and storage stabilities) than resveratrol-loaded zein particles (RE-ZP). Particularly, RE-ZFP showed fairly good pH stability. Moreover, zein-fucoidan-based delivery system exhibited a controlled release of resveratrol under in vitro digestion. Finally, zein-fucoidan nanocarriers presented extremely low cytotoxicity to HIEC-6 cells. All the findings demonstrate that the zein-fucoidan nanoparticles developed in the current work will be a prospective strategy for loading resveratrol and other hydrophobic bioactive ingredients and thus extending their application in nutraceuticals or pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Decoquinate (DQ) has low oral bioavailability owing to its poor water solubility. In this study, a DQ solid dispersion (DQ-SD) was fabricated using mechanochemical technology to encapsulate DQ and improve its oral bioavailability. DQ-SD is easily generated via self-assembly in the aqueous phase to form micelles consisting of disodium glycyrrhizinate (Na2GA) nanoparticles with a protamine (PRM) and anionic hyaluronic acid (HA) layers. The spherical DQ nanoparticles with an average diameter of 114.95 nm were obtained in an aqueous phase with a critical micelle concentration of 0.157 mg/mL, zeta potential of -38.38 mV, polydispersity index of 0.200, and drug loading of 5.66 %. The dissolution rate and cumulative release of DQ-SD were higher than those of pure DQ. Furthermore, the bioavailability of DQ-SD was approximately 6.3 times higher than that of pure DQ. Pharmacokinetic and biodistribution studies indicated that DQ-SD possessed a significantly higher concentration in the blood and preferential liver tissue accumulation, than that of pure DQ. The developed DQ-SD exhibited considerable potential for developing old DQ for a new application as a hematogenous parasite drug and provides a reference for developing more efficient delivery systems for hydrophobic bioactive agents.

Abstract
Zein-based nanoparticles loaded with bioactive compounds have positive prospects in the food industry, but an important limiting factor for development is colloidal instability. Currently, extensive researches are focused on solving the instability of zein nanoparticles, but since the beginning of the studies, there has not been a summary of the factors affecting the stability of zein-based nanoparticles. In the present work, the factors were reviewed comprehensively from the perspective of carrier construction and application evaluation. The former mainly includes type, quantity, and characteristics of biopolymer, the mass ratio of biopolymer/bioactive compound to zein, blending sequence of biopolymer, and location of encapsulated bioactive compounds. The latter mainly includes pH, heating, ionic strength, storage, freeze-drying, and gastrointestinal digestion. The former is the prerequisite for the success of the latter. The challenge is that stability research is limited to the laboratory level, and it is difficult to ensure that the stability results are suitable for commercial food matrices due to their complexity. At the laboratory level, the future trends are the influence of external energy and the cross-complexity and uniformity of stability research. The review is expected to provide systematic understanding and guidance for the development of zein-based nanoparticles stability.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR) has demonstrated promising potential as a therapeutic agent against colorectal cancer (CRC). However, its intrinsic shortcomings, including oxidative instability, sensitivity to gastrointestinal (GI) hydrolytic/enzymatic action, and susceptibility to biotransformation and systemic elimination, have greatly undermined its value for application in clinical settings. The development of carriers, in particular oral formulations, for its efficient delivery has remained an important direction in nutraceutical research. In the present work, CUR-encapsulated nanoparticles were fabricated with zein alone (Zein-CUR) and with zein and a polysaccharide (PS) [gum Arabic (GA), hyaluronic acid (HA) and pectin (PC), respectively] (PS-Zein-CUR). Their physicochemical and biological properties were evaluated in a series of in vitro and in vivo assays. Dynamic light scattering analysis showed an increase in the particle size of the nanoparticles from 129.0 nm (Zein-CUR) to 188.8-346.4 nm (PS-Zein-CUR). The three PS-Zein-CUR formulations had significantly higher (17-22%) CUR encapsulation efficiency (EE) than Zein-CUR. Among them, HA-Zein-CUR exhibited the highest EE and loading capacity. Zeta potential and FTIR spectra indicated the involvement of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds in the formation of the PS-Zein-CUR. In human CRC cell lines (HCT8, HCT29, and HCT116), the three PS-Zein-CUR and CUR all effectively inhibited cell viability and colony formation (HA-Zein-CUR > PC-Zein-CUR > GA-Zein-CUR/CUR). HA-Zein-CUR and PC-Zein-CUR also resulted in significantly higher cellular uptake of CUR than GA-Zein-CUR and CUR. Simulated GI-digestion assay demonstrated significantly improved controlled-release properties of these two formulations. Further pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution assays in a CRC subcutaneous xenograft model in nude mice corroborated the enhanced pharmacokinetic properties of intragastric administration of HA-Zein-CUR compared with that of free CUR (3 times higher C max and 9.18 times higher plasma AUC). HA-Zein-CUR also led to enhanced delivery and accumulation of CUR in major organs/tissues, in particular CRC tumors and colon. These results together support that HA-Zein-CUR has promising potential as an oral agent for the control of CRC.

Abstract
The molecularly targeted agent anlotinib offers a novel therapeutic strategy against advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). With this study, we aimed to solve the technical problem of anlotinib being insoluble in injectable solutions; we also aimed to assess the antitumor activity of anlotinib on hepatocellular carcinoma cells. We prepared an anlotinib nanocrystal injection by wet grinding, and we optimized the prescription process using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and a laser particle size analyzer (LPSA). The release of anlotinib from the injected nanocrystals was evaluated using LC-MS/MS in vitro, and the drug’s anti-tumor effects were assessed in a nude mice tumor model. The anlotinib nanocrystals had a uniform particle size distribution (the average nanoparticle size was ~200 nm). The preparation of anlotinib into nanocrystals did not change the original crystal structure. The intravenous injection of anlotinib nanocrystals achieved anti-tumor activity at very low doses compared to those required for oral administration of an anlotinib suspension: anlotinib nanocrystals at a dose of 50 μg/kg inhibited the subcutaneous growth of the HCC cell line MHCC97-H; whereas the dose of anlotinib suspension required for an equivalent effect was 1 mg/kg. Therefore, our novel anlotinib nanocrystal injection preparation provides an option for achieving a safe and effective molecularly targeted therapy against advanced HCC.

Abstract
In this study, we used large, rigid, and hydrophilic zein-propylene glycol alginate composite particles (ZPCPs) and small, soft, and hydrophobic whey protein microgel (WPM) particles to synergistically stabilize a Pickering emulsion for delivery of β-carotene. The photothermal stability and storage stability of β-carotene were improved with the combined use of different particles. Microstructural observations showed that ZPCPs were effectively adsorbed at the oil/water interface despite the substantial interparticle gaps. WPM particles could swell and stretch on the interface due to their deformable structure, thereby forming an interfacial layer of flattened particles to cover a large surface area. The interfacial structure and macroscopic properties of Pickering emulsions were modulated by adjusting the mass ratio and addition sequence of different particles. The combination of ZPCPs and WPM delayed the lipolysis during gastrointestinal digestion. Through controlling the composition of the complex interface, the free fatty acid (FFA) release rate of Pickering emulsions in the small intestinal phase was reduced from 15.64% to 9.03%. When ZPCPs were used as the inner layer and WPM as the outer layer and the mass ratio of ZPCPs to WPM was 4 : 1, the Pickering emulsion showed the best stability and β-carotene bioaccessibility. The Pickering emulsion with particle-particle complex interfaces could be applied in foods and pharmaceuticals for the purpose of enhanced stability, delayed lipolysis or sustained nutrient release.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to overcome the challenges of curcumin by zein/tea saponin composite nanoparticles (Z/TSNPs) without any organic reagents and high-energy equipment. The spherical Z/TSNPs exhibited good physical stability, the conditions of which included pH at 5.0-8.0, heating at 80 ℃, ionic strength within 100 mM, and storage at 25 ℃ for 30 days. Meanwhile, Z/TSNPs showed excellent redispersibility. Z/TSNPs were used to encapsulate and deliver curcumin (Cur-Z/TSNPs), showing encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity of 83.73% and 22.33%, respectively. Cur-Z/TSNPs exhibited good chemical stability during storage, and the effect of light on Cur-Z/TSNPs was smaller than that of free curcumin. Furthermore, Cur-Z/TSNPs improved the solubilization and bioaccessibility of curcumin about 290 and 5 times, respectively. Besides, the encapsulation changed the crystalline state of curcumin to amorphous, and the pH-driven mechanism was probably related to hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions.

Abstract
Resveratrol is a phytoalexin produced by many plants as a defense mechanism against stress-inducing conditions. The richest dietary sources of resveratrol are berries and grapes, their juices and wines. Good bioavailability of resveratrol is not reflected in its high biological activity in vivo because of resveratrol isomerization and its poor solubility in aqueous solutions. Proteins, cyclodextrins and nanomaterials have been explored as innovative delivery vehicles for resveratrol to overcome this limitation. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated beneficial effects of resveratrol in cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Main beneficial effects of resveratrol intake are cardioprotective, anti-hypertensive, vasodilatory, anti-diabetic, and improvement of lipid status. As resveratrol can alleviate the numerous factors associated with CVD, it has potential as a functional supplement to reduce COVID-19 illness severity in patients displaying poor prognosis due to cardio-vascular complications. Resveratrol was shown to mitigate the major pathways involved in the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 including regulation of the renin-angiotensin system and expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, stimulation of immune system and downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine release. Therefore, several studies already have anticipated potential implementation of resveratrol in COVID-19 treatment. Regular intake of a resveratrol rich diet, or resveratrol-based complementary medicaments, may contribute to a healthier cardio-vascular system, prevention and control of CVD, including COVID-19 disease related complications of CVD.

Characterization of interactions between whey protein isolate and hyaluronic acid in aqueous solution: Effects of pH and mixing ratio. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 203:111758. [PMID: 33865090 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2021.111758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Revised: 04/06/2021] [Accepted: 04/07/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
Interactions between whey protein isolate (WPI) and hyaluronic acid (HA) were characterized as functions of pH (6.0-1.0) and protein to polysaccharide ratio (R, 1:4-10:1). Intramolecular soluble complexes formed at pHc of 5.6-5.8, followed by intermolecular insoluble complexes formed at pHΦ1 of 4.4-4.6. Complexes at ratios below 4:1 reached maximum optical value at pH 2.4 while samples above 4:1 peaked at pH 3-3.4 then precipitated. WPI/HA coacervates completely dissociated into soluble complex at pH 1.6-1.8 (pHΦ2). WPI/HA mixtures showed shear thinning behavior and elastic property. Whey protein underwent significant α-helix structure change when interacting with HA in range of pHΦ1>pH > pHΦ2 and at low R values (1:4 and 1:2). Scanning electronic microscope (SEM) pictures showed pH and mixing ratio dependent microstructural changes corresponding with phase transition. Data may provide helpful information for further application of WPI/HA complexes in medical, food and cosmetic fields.

Abstract
Curcumin, a polyphenolic compound isolated from turmeric, exhibits various biological activities. The application of this nutraceutical in foods, however, is limited due to its extreme hydrophobicity, inferior stability, and poor bioaccessibility. The purpose of this paper is to prepare alcohol-free curcumin-loaded zein/sophorolipid nanoparticles (Cur-Z/SNPs) by one-step self-assembly to overcome the abovementioned challenges of curcumin. In detail, Cur-Z/SNPs were formed by mixing curcumin, zein, and sophorolipid under neutral conditions without any organic reagents or high energy equipment. The encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity of Cur-Z/SNPs were 94.08% and 11.50%, respectively. The spherical shape of Cur-Z/SNPs was observed by using a transmission electron microscope. The self-assembly mechanism involved hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, and the crystalline nature of curcumin changed to amorphous during self-assembly. Cur-Z/SNPs enhanced the zein denaturation resistance. They exhibited complete redispersibility and improved the aqueous solubility by approximately 246 times compared with free curcumin. The fresh Cur-Z/SNPs exhibited physicochemical stability at pH 5.0-8.0, ionic strength within 250 mM, and storage at 25 °C and 4 °C for 30 days. Notably, Cur-Z/SNPs could achieve excellent storage stability at room temperature as compared to those at refrigeration. Furthermore, lyophilization had a positive effect on storage stability, did not change the pH stability, and slightly reduced the ionic strength stability. Besides, Cur-Z/SNPs increased the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical (DPPH˙) scavenging capacity compared to free curcumin. The bioaccessibility of curcumin was increased by about 6 times by Cur-Z/SNPs. These findings provided new insight into the application of hydrophobic nutrients in alcohol-free functional foods.
