Abstract
This study introduced differential photocalorimetry (DPC) as a method for real-time monitoring of the photo-oxidation kinetics of vegetable oils. DPC measures the heat flow generated during the oxidation of oils upon light exposure. Experiments conducted with stripped linseed oil (SLSO), an oil depleted from its natural antioxidants, showed no induction time (τ). Conversely, spiking SLSO with increasing concentrations of trans-ferulic acid resulted in an induction time (τ) proportional to the antioxidant concentration (R2 = 0.99). A comparative study among different vegetable oils revealed that rice bran oil exhibited the highest resistant to photo-oxidation, followed by corn, soybean, and sunflower oils. The results are discussed in terms of sample oxidizability and antioxidant efficiency (A.E.), and validated through high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). Furthermore, the measured heat flow enabled the determination of the rates of inhibited (Rinh) and uninhibited (Runi) periods, as well as the rate constant of propagation (kp) and inhibition (kinh) reactions.

Abstract
Ferulic acid (FA), a phenolic compound abundant in the cell walls of seeds, leaves, and roots of various fruits, vegetables, cereals, and grains, is renowned for its wide range of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. Despite its therapeutic potential, the clinical application of FA is hindered by challenges such as poor water solubility, limited bioavailability, rapid metabolism, and instability under physiological conditions. To address these issues, nanotechnology has emerged as a transformative approach, enhancing FA's pharmacokinetic profile. Various nanoparticle-based systems, including polymer-based and lipid-based nanoparticles, have been developed to encapsulate FA. These systems have demonstrated significant improvements in FA's solubility, stability, and bioavailability, with studies showing enhanced antioxidant activity and controlled release profiles. Further, the surface engineering of these nanoparticles provides targeted drug/phytochemical delivery potential. The targeted delivery of drugs/phytochemicals significantly enhances the therapeutic efficacy and minimizes systemic side effects. This review explores the therapeutic potential of FA, the limitations in its clinical application, and the advancements in nanoparticle-based delivery systems that are paving the way for its effective therapeutic use.

Abstract
The binding of ferulic acid (FA) with sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) has been investigated using fluorescence and absorption measurements. The fluorescence probe technique of pyrene reveals that the presence of FA favors the micellization of NaDC, leading to the decreased critical micelle concentrations for the formation of NaDC micelles. As NaDC molecules change gradually from monomers via primary micelles into secondary micelles, the intensities of absorption and fluorescence spectra of FA increase at low NaDC concentrations, but decrease suddenly at intermediate NaDC concentrations, and finally increase again at high NaDC concentrations. These results corroborated well with FA fluorescence lifetime data suggesting that the aryl ring of FA hydrophobically binds to the convex surface of NaDC monomers, whereas the hydrogen bonding between FA and NaDC is significantly involved in NaDC primary micelles, which is gradually overcome by the hydrophobic interaction between FA and NaDC secondary micelles. The absorption and fluorescence spectra as well as the binding constant value of FA indicate the strong binding of FA in the large hydrophobic core of NaDC secondary micelles. At low FA concentrations, the measurement of FA anisotropy suggests that FA can increase the packing order of hydrophobic surfaces in NaDC secondary micelles, whereas the high amount of FA can greatly disrupt the packing structure of NaDC secondary micelles which is ascribed to the formation of FA dimers. The spectroscopic experiments outlined here present the binding events of FA with NaDC monomers and primary and secondary micelles, which are significantly related with the hydrophobic force and hydrogen bonding as well as the unique structural characteristics of bile salt.

Stabilization of ferulic acid in topical gel formulation via nanoencapsulation and pH optimization. Sci Rep 2020; 10:12288. [PMID: 32703966 PMCID: PMC7378829 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-68732-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2020] [Accepted: 07/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Ferulic acid is a potent anti-oxidant with scientifically proven skin care efficacies. However, instability of this active in the skin care products restricted its wide application in beauty and skin care industries. This study aimed to stabilize ferulic acid in topical hydrogel formulation via nanoencapsulation technique. Ferulic acid loaded nanocapsules were prepared via high pressure homogenization method and physicochemically characterized. Mean particle size of ferulic acid loaded nanocapsules was < 300 nm. TEM and SEM images exhibited spherical particles with smooth surface. DSC and XRD results indicated that ferulic acid was completely dissolved in the lipid matrix of the nanocapsules and remained in amorphous form. Two types of hydrogel formulations containing ferulic acid loaded nanocapsules were prepared: Gel A with pH higher and Gel B with pH lower than pKa of ferulic acid. Cross-polarized microscopic image of the gel formulations did not show presence of any un-encapsulated and un-dissolved crystal. Gel B showed slower and controlled release of ferulic acid than Gel A. Ferulic acid permeation through skin mimic from the gel formulation demonstrated controlled permeation. Color stability of the gel and chemical stability of ferulic acid were very good in Gel B, while poor in Gel A (although significantly better than the gel with un-encapsulated ferulic acid). The result clearly indicates that together with nanoencapsulation, low pH (less than pKa of ferulic acid) of the hydrogel was crucial for both product appearance and chemical stability of ferulic acid. In fact, it has been proved that skin care product with low pH is good for skin as it can maintain skin homeostasis and microbiome. Furthermore, the permeation result suggests that ferulic acid may penetrate into deep skin layers and at the same time avoid systemic circulation. Overall, this low pH hydrogel formulation containing nanoencapsulated ferulic acid demonstrates great promise for commercialization.

Abstract
Development of malodourous compounds, hexanal and p-vinyl guaiacol (PVG), in UHT model liquid systems fortified with wholegrain oat were evaluated. Single and mixed systems using oat powder (3, 5, and 7% w/w), skim milk powder (SMP, 2.8% w/w) and sucrose (6.7% w/w) were subjected to UHT treatment and 29 days ambient storage. Both chromatographic analyses and panellists' perceived aroma intensity show a positive relationship between the content of hexanal and PVG, storage time and oat concentrations trialled. Ratio of the odour activity values (OAV) plotted against time shows that although PVG aroma initially is dominant, hexanal aroma, with a ratio of about 0.5, has twice the intensity of the PVG aroma for the remaining 29 days. Oat samples (with skim milk) were unacceptable when hexanal concentration was 3-5 times its threshold whilst the PVG level was still below its threshold in the same samples.
