Carbohydr Polym 2024; 343:122442. [PMID: 39174123 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122442] [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: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
Nanocellulose, a versatile and sustainable nanomaterial derived from cellulose fibers, has attracted considerable attention in various fields due to its unique properties. Similar to dietary fibers, nanocellulose is difficult to digest in the human gastrointestinal tract. The indigestible nanocellulose is fermented by gut microbiota, producing metabolites and potentially exhibiting prebiotic activity in intestinal diseases. Additionally, nanocellulose can serve as a matrix material for probiotic protection and show promising prospects for probiotic delivery. In this review, we summarize the classification of nanocellulose, including cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), cellulose nanofibers (CNF), and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), highlighting their distinct characteristics and applications. We discuss the metabolism-related characteristics of nanocellulose from oral ingestion to colon fermentation and introduce the prebiotic activity of nanocellulose in intestinal diseases. Furthermore, we provide an overview of commonly used nanocellulose-based encapsulation techniques, such as emulsification, extrusion, freeze drying, and spray drying, as well as the delivery systems employing nanocellulose matrix materials, including microcapsules, emulsions, and hydrogels. Finally, we discuss the challenges associated with nanocellulose metabolism, prebiotic functionality, encapsulation techniques, and delivery systems using nanocellulose matrix material for probiotics. This review will provide new insight into the application of nanocellulose in the treatment of intestinal diseases and probiotic delivery.

Senthil Kumar S, Sheik Mohideen S. Chitosan-coated probiotic nanoparticles mitigate acrylamide-induced toxicity in the Drosophila model. Sci Rep 2024; 14:21182. [PMID: 39261567 PMCID: PMC11390943 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-72200-w] [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: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 09/04/2024] [Indexed: 09/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Acrylamide (ACR) with its extensive industrial applications is a classified occupational hazard toxin and carcinogenic compound. Its formation in fried potatoes, red meat and coffee during high-temperature cooking is a cause for consideration. The fabrication of chitosan-coated probiotic nanoparticles (CSP NPs) aims to enhance the bioavailability of probiotics in the gut, thereby improving their efficacy against ACR-induced toxicity in Drosophila melanogaster. Nanoencapsulation, a vital domain of the medical nanotechnology field plays a key role in targeted drug delivery, bioavailability, multi-drug load delivery systems and synergistic treatment options. Our study exploited the nanoencapsulation technology to coat Lactobacillus fermentum (probiotic) with chitosan (prebiotic), both with substantial immunomodulatory effects, to ensure the stability and sustained release of microbial load and its secondary metabolites in the gut. The combination of pre-and probiotic components, called synbiotic formulations establishes the correlation between the gut microbiota and the overall well-being of an organism. Our study aimed to develop a potent synbiotic to alleviate the impacts of heat-processed dietary toxins that significantly influence behaviour, development, and survival. Our synbiotic co-treatment with ACR in fruit flies normalised neuro-behavioural, survival, redox status, and restored ovarian mitochondrial activity, contrasting with several physiological deficits observed in the ACR-treated model.

Curr Dev Nutr 2024; 8:102142. [PMID: 38655128 PMCID: PMC11035053 DOI: 10.1016/j.cdnut.2024.102142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The administration of probiotics has been shown to be beneficial in asthma. The administration of Saccharomyces cerevisiae UFMG A-905 prevented asthma development. Traditionally, probiotics are administered using dairy-based matrices, but other vehicles (e.g., fruit juices, biscuits, candies, and breads) can be used. Objectives This study aimed to assess the effect of bread fermented with S. cerevisiae UFMG A-905 in asthma prevention. Methods Three breads were produced: fermented with commercial yeast, fermented with S. cerevisiae UFMG A-905, and fermented with S. cerevisiae UFMG A-905 with the addition of alginate microcapsules containing live S. cerevisiae UFMG A-905. Characterization of the microbial composition of the breads was performed. Male Balb/c mice were sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin. Breads were administered 10 d before the first sensitization and during sensitization and challenge protocol. Yeast fecal count, in vivo airway hyperresponsiveness, and airway and lung inflammation were assessed. Results In UFMG A-905 bread, there was an increase in yeast number and a decrease in total and lactic acid bacteria. Animals that received S. cerevisiae UFMG A-905 fermented bread with microcapsules had a significant increase in yeast recovery from feces. S. cerevisiae UFMG A-905-fermented breads partially reduced airway inflammation, decreasing eosinophils and IL5 and IL13 concentrations. When adding microcapsules, the bread also diminished airway hyperresponsiveness and increased IL17A concentrations. Conclusions S. cerevisiae UFMG A-905 was able to generate long-fermentation breads. Microcapsules were a safe and viable way to inoculate the live yeast into food. The administration of breads fermented with S. cerevisiae UFMG A-905 prevented asthma-like characteristics, being more pronounced when the breads contained microcapsules with live yeast.

Microencapsulation with fructooligosaccharides and whey protein enhances the antioxidant activity of anthocyanins and their ability to modulate gut microbiota in vitro. Food Res Int 2024; 181:114082. [PMID: 38448092 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114082] [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: 11/04/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
Anthocyanins are the primary functional pigments in the diet. However, anthocyanins exhibit instability during digestion, coupled with limited bioavailability. Microencapsulation offers anthocyanins a sheltered environment, enhancing their stability and bioactivity. Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and whey protein (WP) commonly serve as wall materials in microencapsulation and represent a significant source of probiotic functionality. Our prior research successfully established a robust microencapsulation system for anthocyanins utilizing FOS and WP. This study investigates the antioxidative capacity, stability during in vitro digestion, modulation on gut microbiota, and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production of black soybean skin anthocyanins microencapsulated with FOS and WP (anthocyanin-loaded microencapsule particles, ALM). The results demonstrate that ALM exhibits a superior antioxidant capacity compared to free anthocyanins (ANCs) and cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G). During simulated digestion, ALM exhibits enhanced anthocyanin retention compared with ANC in both gastric and intestinal phases. In comparison with ANC and even non-loaded microcapsules (NLM), in vitro fermentation demonstrates that ALM exhibits the highest gas production and lowered pH, indicating excellent fermentation activity. Furthermore, in comparison with ANC or NLM, ALM exerts a positive influence on the diversity and composition of gut microbiota, with potentially beneficial genera such as Faecalibacterium and Akkermansia exhibiting higher relative abundance. Moreover, ALM stimulates the production of SCFAs, particularly acetic and propionic acids. In conclusion, microencapsulation of anthocyanins with FOS-WP enhances their antioxidative capacity and stability during in vitro digestion. Simultaneously, this microencapsulation illustrates a positive regulatory effect on the intestinal microbiota community and SCFA production, conferring potential health benefits.

Abdelhamid M, Jung CG, Zhou C, Inoue R, Chen Y, Sento Y, Hida H, Michikawa M. Potential Therapeutic Effects of Bifidobacterium breve MCC1274 on Alzheimer's Disease Pathologies in AppNL-G-F Mice. Nutrients 2024; 16:538. [PMID: 38398861 PMCID: PMC10893354 DOI: 10.3390/nu16040538] [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: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
We previously demonstrated that orally supplemented Bifidobacterium breve MCC1274 (B. breve MCC1274) mitigated Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathologies in both 7-month-old AppNL-G-F mice and wild-type mice; thus, B. breve MCC1274 supplementation might potentially prevent the progression of AD. However, the possibility of using this probiotic as a treatment for AD remains unclear. Thus, we investigated the potential therapeutic effects of this probiotic on AD using 17-month-old AppNL-G-F mice with memory deficits and amyloid beta saturation in the brain. B. breve MCC1274 supplementation ameliorated memory impairment via an amyloid-cascade-independent pathway. It reduced hippocampal and cortical levels of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase as well as heat shock protein 90, which might have suppressed tau hyperphosphorylation and chronic stress. Moreover, B. breve MCC1274 supplementation increased hippocampal synaptic protein levels and upregulated neuronal activity. Thus, B. breve MCC1274 supplementation may alleviate cognitive dysfunction by reducing chronic stress and tau hyperphosphorylation, thereby enhancing both synaptic density and neuronal activity in 17-month-old AppNL-G-F mice. Overall, this study suggests that B. breve MCC1274 has anti-AD effects and can be used as a potential treatment for AD.

Functional Foods: A Promising Strategy for Restoring Gut Microbiota Diversity Impacted by SARS-CoV-2 Variants. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15112631. [PMID: 37299594 DOI: 10.3390/nu15112631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Natural herbs and functional foods contain bioactive molecules capable of augmenting the immune system and mediating anti-viral functions. Functional foods, such as prebiotics, probiotics, and dietary fibers, have been shown to have positive effects on gut microbiota diversity and immune function. The use of functional foods has been linked to enhanced immunity, regeneration, improved cognitive function, maintenance of gut microbiota, and significant improvement in overall health. The gut microbiota plays a critical role in maintaining overall health and immune function, and disruptions to its balance have been linked to various health problems. SARS-CoV-2 infection has been shown to affect gut microbiota diversity, and the emergence of variants poses new challenges to combat the virus. SARS-CoV-2 recognizes and infects human cells through ACE2 receptors prevalent in lung and gut epithelial cells. Humans are prone to SARS-CoV-2 infection because their respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts are rich in microbial diversity and contain high levels of ACE2 and TMPRSS2. This review article explores the potential use of functional foods in mitigating the impact of SARS-CoV-2 variants on gut microbiota diversity, and the potential use of functional foods as a strategy to combat these effects.

Evaluation of the Survival of Lactobacillus fermentum K73 during the Production of High-Oleic Palm Oil Macroemulsion Powders Using Rotor-Stator Homogenizer and Spray-Drying Technique. Microorganisms 2023; 11:1490. [PMID: 37374991 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11061490] [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: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the survival of the probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum when it is encapsulated in powdered macroemulsions to develop a probiotic product with low water activity. For this purpose, the effect of the rotational speed of the rotor-stator and the spray-drying process was assessed on the microorganism survival and physical properties of probiotic high-oleic palm oil (HOPO) emulsions and powders. Two Box-Behnken experimental designs were carried out: in the first one, for the effect of the macro emulsification process, the numerical factors were the amount of HOPO, the velocity of the rotor-stator, and time, while the factors for the second one, the drying process, were the amount of HOPO, inoculum, and the inlet temperature. It was found that the droplet size (ADS) and polydispersity index (PdI) were influenced by HOPO concentration and time, ζ-potential by HOPO concentration and velocity, and creaming index (CI) by speed and time of homogenization. Additionally, HOPO concentration affected bacterial survival; the viability was between 78-99% after emulsion preparation and 83-107% after seven days. The spray-drying process showed a similar viable cell count before and after the drying process, a reduction between 0.04 and 0.8 Log10 CFUg-1; the moisture varied between 2.4% and 3.7%, values highly acceptable for probiotic products. We concluded that encapsulation of L. fermentum in powdered macroemulsions at the conditions studied is effective in obtaining a functional food from HOPO with optimal physical and probiotic properties according to national legislation (>106 CFU mL-1 or g-1).

Abstract
A model (sucrose and gallic acid) solution was concentrated by block freeze concentration (BFC) at three centrifugation cycles, and the solutions were encapsulated in calcium alginate and corn starch calcium alginate hydrogel beads. Static and dynamic tests determined the rheological behavior, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) established thermal and structural properties, and the release kinetics was evaluated under in vitro simulated digestion experiment. The highest efficiency encapsulation value was close to 96%. As the concentrated solution increased in terms of solutes and gallic acid, the solutions were fitted to the Herschel-Bulkley model. Moreover, from the second cycle, the solutions exhibited the highest values of storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G″), contributing to form a more stable encapsulation. The FTIR and DSC results demonstrated strong interactions between corn starch and alginate, establishing a good compatibility and stability in the bead formation. The kinetic release model under in vitro conditions was fitted to the Korsmeyer-Peppas model, demonstrating the significant stability of the model solutions inside the beads. Therefore, the present study proposes a clear and precise definition for the elaboration of liquid foods obtained by BFC and its incorporation inside an edible material that facilitates the controlled release in specific sites.

Aging Cell 2023:e13807. [PMID: 36890785 DOI: 10.1111/acel.13807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 23.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death that has been found to aggravate the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) and gut microbiota- OA axis refers to the bidirectional information network between the gut microbiota and OA, which may provide a new way to protect the OA. However, the role of gut microbiota-derived metabolites in ferroptosis-relative osteoarthritis remains unclear. The objective of this study was to analyze the protective effect of gut microbiota and its metabolite capsiate (CAT) on ferroptosis-relative osteoarthritis in vivo and in vitro experiments. From June 2021 to February 2022, 78 patients were evaluated retrospectively and divided into two groups: The health group (n = 39) and the OA group (n = 40). Iron and oxidative stress indicators were determined in peripheral blood samples. And then in vivo and in vitro experiments, a surgically destabilized medial meniscus (DMM) mice model was established and treated with CAT or Ferric Inhibitor-1 (Fer-1). Solute Carrier Family 2 Member 1 (SLC2A1) short hairpin RNA (shRNA) was utilized to inhibit SLC2A1 expression. Serum iron was increased significantly but total iron binding capacity was decreased significantly in OA patients than healthy people (p < 0.0001). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator clinical prediction model suggested that serum iron, total iron binding capacity, transferrin, and superoxide dismutase were all independent predictors of OA (p < 0.001). Bioinformatics results suggested that SLC2A1, Metastasis-Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1 (MALAT1), and HIF-1α (Hypoxia Inducible Factor 1 Alpha)-related oxidative stress signaling pathways play an important role in iron homeostasis and OA. In addition, gut microbiota 16s RNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics were used to find that gut microbiota metabolites CAT in mice with osteoarthritis were negatively correlated with Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) scores for chondrogenic degeneration (p = 0.0017). Moreover, CAT reduced ferroptosis-dependent osteoarthritis in vivo and in vitro. However, the protective effect of CAT against ferroptosis-dependent osteoarthritis could be eliminated by silencing SLC2A1. SLC2A1 was upregulated but reduced the SLC2A1 and HIF-1α levels in the DMM group. HIF-1α, MALAT1, and apoptosis levels were increased after SLC2A1 knockout in chondrocyte cells (p = 0.0017). Finally, downregulation of SLC2A1 expression by Adeno-associated Virus (AAV) -SLC2A1 shRNA improves osteoarthritis in vivo. Our findings indicated that CAT inhibited HIF-1a expression and reduced ferroptosis-relative osteoarthritis progression by activating SLC2A1.
