Food Chem 2024; 452:139562. [PMID: 38749140 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139562] [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: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
The growing global interest in physical and environmental health has led to the development of plant-based products. Although soy protein and wheat gluten are commonly utilized, concerns regarding gluten-related health issues have driven exploration into alternative proteins. Zein has emerged as a promising option. This research investigated the impact of extraction methods on zein characteristics and the structures of SPI-zein composite gels. Different extraction methods yielded zein with protein contents ranging from 48.12 % to 64.34 %. Ethanol-extracted Z1 and Z3, obtained at different pH conditions, exhibited zeta potential of -3.25 and 5.43 mV, respectively. They displayed similar characteristics to commercial zein and interacted comparably in composite gels. Conversely, alkaline-extracted Z2 had a zeta potential of -2.37 mV and formed distinct gels when combined with SPI. These results indicated that extraction methods influence zein behaviour in composite gels, offering possibilities for tailored formulations and expanding zein's applications, particularly in gluten-free plant-based products.

Abstract
Phospholipids can act as antioxidants in food. In this study, egg yolk phospholipids (EPL) and sunflower oil were utilized in making chili oil, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was employed to quantify the concentrations of fatty acyl groups, carotenoids, capsaicinoids in chili oil according to their specific signals in the spectra. The results showed that the changes in the concentrations of fatty acyl groups in the control samples were greater than those in the EPL-treated samples at the same frying temperature, while the contents of carotenoids and capsaicinoids were significantly lower than those of the EPL-treated samples when fried at 150 °C (p < 0.05). Two-way ANOVA indicated that frying temperature and EPL treatment, as well as their interaction had significant impacts on the thermal-oxidative stability of chili oil (p < 0.05). The results suggest that EPL may act as antioxidants during frying, and EPL can improve the thermal-oxidative stability of chili oil.

Abstract
In this work, we investigated structural characteristics and stability analysis of the coconut oil body (COB) and its application for loading β-carotene (β-CA). The COB contained neutral lipids (81.1 ± 2.1 %), membrane proteins (0.6 ± 0.0 %), and moistures (18.3 ± 3.2 %), in which the molecular weights of membrane proteins ranged from 12 kDa to 40 kDa, as analyzed by the SDS-PAGE. The COB exhibited a small droplet diameter (5.1 ± 0.3 µm) with a monomodal diameter distribution, as reflected by the dynamic light scattering. The COB showed stable states at alkaline pH values (pH 8-10) and instability against ionic strengths (50-200 mmol/L) and thermal treatment (30-90℃) after analyzing the instability indexes. COB-based emulsions were favorable for the loading and retention of β-CA, as reflected by free fatty acids release rates and bioaccessibility in the simulated gastrointestinal digestion. This study will contribute to using the coconut oil bodies for loading bioactive nutraceuticals to enhance their bioaccessibility.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) constitutes a prevalent risk factor associated with non communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. A major factor impacting the etiology of MetS is diet. Dietary patterns and several individual food constituents have been related to the risk of developing MetS or have been proposed as adjuvant treatment. However, traditional methods of dietary assessment such as 24 h recalls rely greatly on intensive user-interaction and are subject to bias. Hence, more objective methods are required for unbiased dietary assessment and efficient prevention. While it is accepted that some dietary-derived constituents in blood plasma are indicators for certain dietary patterns, these may be too unstable (such as vitamin C as a marker for fruits/vegetables) or too broad (e.g. polyphenols for plant-based diets) or reflect too short-term intake only to allow for strong associations with prolonged intake of individual food groups. In the present manuscript, commonly employed biomarkers of intake including those related to specific food items (e.g. genistein for soybean or astaxanthin and EPA for fish intake) and novel emerging ones (e.g. stable isotopes for meat intake or microRNA for plant foods) are emphasized and their suitability as biomarker for food intake discussed. Promising alternatives to plasma measures (e.g. ethyl glucuronide in hair for ethanol intake) are also emphasized. As many biomarkers (i.e. secondary plant metabolites) are not limited to dietary assessment but are also capable of regulating e.g. anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways, special attention will be given to biomarkers presenting a double function to assess both dietary patterns and MetS risk.

Abstract
Lutein (Lut) is a recognized nutritional supplement known for its antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, crucial in mitigating ocular disease. However, enhancements to Lut stability and solubility remain challenges to be addressed in the healthcare industry. Herein, we fabricated and evaluated a food-grade highly porous β-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (β-CD-MOF) for its ability to encapsulate Lut. Lut stability considerably improved when loaded into β-CD-MOF to form a Lut@β-CD-MOF complex, which exhibited better stability than Lut loaded into the γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (Lut@γ-CD-MOF), Lut@β-CD, and commercial product (Blackmores™) at 40°C, 60°C, and 70°C, respectively. The solubility of Lut@β-CD-MOF in water increased by 26.8-fold compared to raw Lut at 37°C. Lut@β-CD-MOF exhibited greater hydrophilicity, as determined by measuring the water contact angle. Molecular docking and other characterizations of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction confirmed that Lut was successfully encapsulated in the chamber formed by the three cyclodextrins in β-CD-MOF. Thermogravimetric analysis and Raman spectroscopy demonstrated that Lut distributed in the β-CD-MOF cavity deeply improved Lut stability and solubility. In conclusion, our findings underscored the function of β-CD-MOF in enhancing Lut stability and solubility for formulation applications.

Abstract
Carotenoids constitute compounds of significant biological interest due to their multiple biological activities, such as antimicrobial, anticancer, antiadipogenic, antidiabetic, and antioxidant properties. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) comprehends a series of metabolic abnormalities (e.g., hypertension, obesity, and atherogenic dyslipidemia) that can affect children, adolescents, and the elderly. The treatment of MetS involves numerous medications, which, despite their efficacy, pose challenges due to prolonged use, high costs, and various side effects. Carotenoids and their derivatives have been proposed as alternative treatments to MetS because they reduce serum triglyceride concentrations, promote insulin response, inhibit adipogenesis, and downregulate angiotensin-converting enzyme activity. However, carotenoids are notably sensitive to pH, light exposure, and temperature. This review addresses the activity of carotenoids such as lycopene, lutein, fucoxanthin, astaxanthin, crocin, and β-carotene towards MetS. It includes a discussion of sources, extraction methods, and characterization techniques for analyzing carotenoids. Encapsulation approaches are critically reviewed as alternatives to prevent degradation and improve the biological performance of carotenoids. A brief overview of the physiopathology and epidemiology of the diseases, including MetS, is also provided.

Abstract
Mango peels are widely produced and highly perishable. Disinfectant washing and freezing are among the most used methods to preserve foods. However, their impact on products' properties is conditioned by the foods' features. This study evaluated for the first time the phytochemical composition, antioxidant activity, and microstructure of mango peels washed with peracetic acid (27 mg/mL for 19 min) and frozen at -20 °C for 30 days. Washing decreased the content of vitamin C (-7%), penta-O-galloyl-β-d-glucose (-23 %), catechin (-30 %), and lutein (-24 %), but the antioxidant activity was preserved. Freezing changed mango peels' microstructure, increased free phenolic compounds, namely acid gallic (+36 %) and catechin (+51 %), but reduced bound phenolic compounds (-12 % to -87 %), bound phenolic compounds' antioxidant activity (-51 % to -72 %), and violaxanthin (-51 %). Both methods were considered adequate to conserve mango peels since fiber and the main bioactive compounds (free mangiferin, free gallic acid, and β-carotene) remained unchanged or increased.

Abstract
As an essential nutrient, lutein (LUT) has the ability to aid in the prevention of eye diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. However, the application of LUT is largely restricted by its poor solubility and susceptibility to oxidative degradation. Thus, in this study, LUT-loaded nanogel (OVM-COS-LUT) was prepared by a self-assembly of ovomucin (OVM) and chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) to enhance the effective protection and bioavailability of LUT. The nanogel had excellent dispersion (PDI = 0.25) and an 89.96% LUT encapsulation rate. XRD crystal structure analysis confirmed that the encapsulated LUT maintained an amorphous morphology. In addition, the nanogel showed satisfactory stability with pH levels ranging from 2 to 9 and high ionic strengths (>100 mM). Even under long-term storage, the nanogel maintained an optimistic stabilization and protection capacity; its effective retention rates could reach 96.54%. In vitro, digestion simulation showed that the bioaccessibility and sustained release of OVM-COS-LUT nanogel was superior to that of free LUT. The nanogel provided significant antioxidant activity, and no significant harmful effects were detected in cytotoxicity analyses at higher concentrations. In summary, OVM-COS-LUT can be utilized as a potential safe oral and functional carrier for encapsulating LUT.

Abstract
A wide range of research has illustrated that carotenoids play a key role in human health through their versatile beneficial biological functions. Traditionally, the majority dietary sources of carotenoids for humans are obtained from vegetables and fruits, however, the contribution of animal-derived foods has attracted more interest in recent years. Livestock products such as eggs, meat, and milk have been considered as the appropriate and unique carriers for the deposition of carotenoids. In addition, with the enrichment of carotenoids, the nutritional quality of these animal-origin foods would be improved as well as the economic value. Here, we offer an overview covering aspects including the physicochemical properties of carotenoids, the situation of carotenoids fortified in livestock products, and the pathways that lead to the deposition of carotenoids in livestock products. The summary of these important nutrients in livestock products will provide references for animal husbandry and human health.

Mechanistic understanding of the stabilisation of vitamin A in oil by wheat bran: The interplay between vitamin A degradation, lipid oxidation, and lipase activity. Food Chem 2024; 436:137785. [PMID: 37866098 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137785] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023]
Abstract
Wheat bran stabilises vitamin A (retinyl palmitate, RP) in oil during storage, but the stabilisation mechanism remains unknown. We here studied the effect of the concentration of RP in oil (0.1-2%) and of RP-enriched oil in the system (5-50%) on the RP retention during accelerated storage of systems with native and toasted wheat bran. Generally, toasted bran showed better RP stabilisation than native bran. After four weeks of storage, up to 65% RP was retained in toasted bran systems, whereas the RP retention for native bran was below 10%. For native bran, a higher oil-to-bran ratio and, thus, a lower wheat lipase level resulted in better RP retention. For toasted bran, combined high oil and high RP concentrations resulted in the lowest RP retention. We, therefore, conclude that wheat bran protects RP and lipids from oxidation. This protection is reduced by the pro-oxidative effect of RP, lipid oxidation and lipase.

Fabricating oleic acid-ovalbumin complexes using an ultrasonic-coupled weakly alkaline pH technique: Improving the dispersibility, stability, and bioaccessibility of lutein in water. Food Chem 2024; 435:137593. [PMID: 37776652 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137593] [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: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/23/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
This study constructed a self-assembly non-covalent oleic acid (OA) and ovalbumin (OVA) complex via an ultrasonic coupled pH-driven approach to simultaneously improve the water dispersibility, stability, and bioaccessibility of lutein (LUT). The results showed that homogeneous, stable hydrophilic OA-OVA particles were obtained in optimized conditions (an OVA concentration of 4.0 mg/mL, pH 9.0, ultrasonic conditions of 200 W for 2 min, and OA-OVA molar ratios of 2:1-20:1), with the LUT encapsulation efficiency (EE) exceeding 88.9%. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed complete LUT encapsulation in the OA-OVA particles, displaying spherical particle formation with smooth surfaces. The OA-OVA complexes effectively improved the thermal and storage stability of LUT and significantly enhanced its bioaccessibility. These findings suggest that fatty acid-protein complexes may have potential application value as carotenoid delivery vectors.

Abstract
The utilization of synthetic dyes in food industries is a great concern for food safety and health issues. So, natural pigments can be an excellent substitute for synthetic dyes and also health-friendly for consumers. In the experiment, natural pigments were extracted from tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) and red amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor L.). Then the stability and consumer acceptance of the extracted pigments were examined. The highest amount of pigment was extracted from turmeric (2.14 ± 0.30 %) with ethanol solvent, followed by tomato (0.67 ± 0.06 %) with hexane: acetone (1:1) solvent, and red amaranth (0.78 ± 0.05 %) with acetone solvent. Turmeric pigment showed the highest stability in high temperatures and light exposure. All of the pigments were highly stable in a neutral environment; however, tomato pigment showed the highest stability index (84.33 ± 2.52) at pH 3.0, but turmeric pigment showed the highest stability (91.67 ± 1.53) at pH 5.0. The simple preference test revealed that the use of turmeric pigment in boiled rice had the highest acceptance rate, and in terms of taste and flavor, red amaranth pigments in ice cream. So turmeric pigment can be utilized in high-temperature processing and/or acidic foods, but tomato and red amaranth pigments might be in low-temperature processing foods such as the ice-cream and soft drinks processing industry.

Abstract
The application of hydrophobic β-carotene in the food industry are limited due to its susceptibility to light, high temperature, pH value, and other factors, leading to poor stability and low bioavailability. To address this problem, we adopt a more green and environmentally friendly reducing agent, 2-methylpyridine borane complex (pic-BH3), instead of traditional sodium borohydride, to achieve the simple green and efficient synthesis of amphiphilic oxidized sodium alginate grafted oleoamine derivatives (OSAOLA) through the reduction amination reaction of Schiff base. The resultant OSAOLA with the degree of substitution (DS) of 7.2 %, 23.6 %, and 38.8 % were synthesized, and their CMC values ranged from 0.0095 to 0.062 mg/mL, indicating excellent self-assembly capability in aqueous solution. Meanwhile, OSAOLA showed no obvious cytotoxicity to RAW 264.7 cells, thus revealing good biocompatibility. Furthermore, β-carotene, as the hydrophobic active ingredients in foods was successfully encapsulated in the OSAOLA micelles by ultrasonic-dialysis method. The prepared drug-loaded OSAOLA micelles could maintain good stability when stored at room temperature for 7 d. Additionally, they were able to continuously release β-carotene and exert long-term effects in pH 7.4 PBS at 37 °C, effectively improving the bioavailability of β-carotene, which exhibited tremendous application potential in functional food and biomedical fields.

Carotenoid degradation rate in milled grain of dent maize hybrids and its relationship with the grain physicochemical properties. Food Res Int 2024; 177:113909.

Abstract
Carotenoids in maize grain degrade during storage, but the relationship between their stability and the physicochemical properties of the grain is unclear. Therefore, the carotenoid degradation rate in milled grain of three dent hybrids differing in grain hardness was evaluated at various temperatures (-20, 4 and 22 °C). The carotenoid degradation rate was calculated using first-order kinetics based on the content in the samples after 7, 14, 21, 28, 42, 56, 70 and 90 days of storage and related to the physicochemical properties of the grain. The highest grain hardness was found in the hybrid with the highest zein and endosperm lipid concentration, while the lowest grain hardness was found in the hybrid with the highest amylose content and the specific surface area of starch granule (SSA). As expected, carotenoids in milled maize grain were most stable at -20 °C, followed by storage at 4 and 22 °C. Tested hybrids differed in the degradation rate of zeaxanthin, α-cryptoxanthin and β-carotene, and these responses were also temperature-dependent. In contrast, all hybrids showed similar degradation rate for lutein and β-cryptoxanthin regardless of the storage temperature. Averaged over the hybrids, the degradation rate for individual carotenoids ranked as follows: lutein < zeaxanthin < α-cryptoxanthin < β-cryptoxanthin < β-carotene. The lower degradation rate for most carotenoids was mainly associated with a higher content of zein and specific endosperm lipids, with the exception of zeaxanthin, which showed an opposite pattern of response. Degradation rate for lutein and zeaxanthin negatively correlated with SSA, but interestingly, small starch granules were positively associated with higher degradation rate for mostcarotenoids. Dent-type hybrids may differ significantly in carotenoid degradation rate, which was associated with specific physicochemical properties of the maize grain.

Abstract
Lutein is essential for infant visual and cognitive development but has low stability and solubility. This study aimed to enhance the stability and bioaccessibility of lutein using oil-in-water emulsions stabilized with biopolymers. Commercially available octenylsuccinylated (OS) starches, including capsule TA® (CTA), HI-CAP®100 (HC), and Purity Gum® 2000 (PG), along with gum Arabic (GA) variants Ticaloid acacia Max® (TAM), TICAmulsion® 3020 (TM), and pre-hydrate gum Arabic (PHGA), were chosen as emulsifiers. By screening the effect of biopolymer concentration and oil volume fraction (Φ), emulsions stabilized with CTA, HC, or TM at 20% and 30% (w/v) concentration and 70% Φ exhibited a gel-like structure and were selected for further assessments. After a week at 25 °C, emulsions stabilized by CTA and HC showed no significant change in droplet size, while TM emulsion exhibited a 1.58-fold increase. At 45 °C, all emulsions exhibited increase in droplet size. Lutein retention is higher in CTA emulsions at both storage temperatures than free lutein. In vitro bioaccessibility of all lutein emulsions was higher than that of free lutein. These findings highlight the superior stability and bioaccessibility of the lutein emulsion stabilized by OS starch, positioning it as a promising carrier to broaden lutein applications in infant foods.

Abstract
Finger millet (Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn.) is a gluten-free crop with a high amount of fiber, calcium and iron, outstanding malting qualities and a low glycemic index. The study aimed to determine the physicochemical, functional, antioxidant and microstructural properties of malted finger millet (light and dark brown) flours. The two varieties of finger millet grains were germinated for 0, 24, 48 and 72 h and kilned for 8 h. The lightness (L*) values of malted finger millet flours significantly increased, with light brown having the highest L* value of 76.62. The hue angle and total color differences (ΔE) of the malted finger millet flours increased significantly (p ≤ .05.), and values ranged from 63.43° to 71.20° (light brown) and 2.12° to 4.32° (dark brown), respectively. The moisture, ash, fiber, protein, total phenolic, total flavonoids contents and DPPH activity of both malted finger millet flours significantly increased. On the contrary, the fat, carbohydrate, energy contents and FRAP activity significantly decreased with each malting period of both finger millet flours. Both malted finger millet flours' solubility index, water and oil absorption capacity increased significantly while the packed and loose bulk density decreased. Malting had no significant effect on the viscosity of the cold paste; however, a significant decrease in the viscosity of the cooked paste in both finger millet flours was observed, with values ranging from 285 to 424.00 cP (light brown) and 271.33 to 418.00 cP (dark brown), respectively. Malting resulted in changes in the thermal properties of finger millet flours with an increase in the onset, peak and conclusion temperatures. Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectra showed that malting slightly changed the peaks of both finger millet flours. Scanning electron microscopy showed that malting altered the microstructural characteristics of finger millet flours. The results showed that malted finger millet flours are promising raw materials for gluten-free bakery products.

Abstract
Lutein is an antioxidant with multiple beneficial functions. However, its therapeutic potential is hampered by its low water solubility and bioavailability. The goal of this study is to compare the stability of lutein-loaded liposomes (Lu-lip) and low (LC)/high molecular weight (HC) chitosan-coated Lu-lip, along with their antioxidant capacity using H2O2-induced HepG2 cells and their lipid-lowering activity using high-fat diet mice. Both LC and HC reduced the lutein degradation rate by 17.5 % and 26.72 % in a challenging environment at pH 6 and T = 4 °C. Compared to LC, the HC coating improved the size- and zeta-potential-stability of Lu-lip at 5 < pH < 7, with the best performance at pH 6. The HC coating prolonged the lutein release profile, increased the cellular uptake of Lu-lip, and reduced the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and the H2O2-induced necrotic cell ratios by increasing the activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). Animal experiments have shown that oral administration of LC and HC coated Lu-lip can significantly reduce body weight levels, total triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and non-high-density lipoprotein (n-HDL-C) in high-fat diet mice while significantly increasing the levels of CAT, SOD and GSH-Px in the liver of mice. LC and HC coated Lu-lip can reduce fat accumulation in the liver and epididymal adipose tissue.

Abstract
The presence of multiple conjugated double bonds and chiral carbon atoms endows astaxanthin with geometric and optical isomers, and these isomers widely exist in biological sources, food processing, and in vivo absorption. However, there remains no systematic summary of astaxanthin isomers regarding isomerization methods and analytic techniques. To address this need, this Review focuses on a comprehensive analysis of Z-isomerization methods of astaxanthin, including solvent system, catalyst, and heat treatment. Comparatively, high-efficiency and health-friendly methods are more conducive to put into practical use, such as food-grade solvents and food-component catalysts. In addition, we outline the recent advances in analysis techniques of astaxanthin isomers, as well as the structural characteristics reflected by various methods (e.g., HPLC, NMR, FTIR, and RS). Furthermore, we summarized the related research on the safety evaluation of astaxanthin isomers. Finally, future trends and barriers in Z-transformation and analysis of astaxanthin isomers are also discussed.

Abstract
Nutritional and functional soy-based milk gains growing attention globally in food industry. However, its poor sensorial attributes, single flavor, and limited substance variety become critical issues in displaying balanced nutrition and multifunction for health. Herein, a novel probiotic lycopene-soy milk was developed by genome edited Bacillus subtilis harboring lycopene biosynthesis cassette with efficient lycopene production of 25.73 ± 1.57 mg/g DCW. Further investigation displayed desirable pH, reducing sugar, protein, total phenolic content and isoflavone for achieved milk than conventional soy milk, implying it with well-balanced nutritional quality. Notably, achieved milk exhibited stronger antioxidant capacity and higher isoflavone bioavailability for functionality. Moreover, it possessed significantly high scores for taste, appearance, and overall acceptability, suggesting its excellent sensorial attributes. To our delight, it is the first time to fortify soy-milk with probiotic and lycopene by genome edited B. subtilis to explore additive effect on improving nutritional value and functionality for food application.

Abstract
Leafy vegetables are enriched with health-promoting compounds such as carotenoids and polyphenols. Different processing treatments have been shown to affect the amounts of these compounds. In this study, mustard (Brassica campestris) leaves were subjected to various processing treatments, boiling, frying, freezing, sonication, microwaving, and blanching. Carotenoid contents were determined using HPLC-DAD while the total phenolic, flavonoids, anthocyanin, and antioxidant activities were determined using established spectroscopic protocols. It has been found that different processing treatments concentrated the lutein, flavoxanthin, and β-carotene contents of mustard leaves, while frying has been found to have deleterious effects on these compounds. During boiling the concentration of violaxanthin, antheraxanthin, flavoxanthin, and lutein was significantly increased to 87.4, 29.9, 20.4, and 340.8 μg/g respectively versus control. The total anthocyanin and phenolic contents of mustard leaves were better preserved during frying having values of 6.2 mg/L and 1281.2 mg/100g, respectively, whereas the total flavonoid contents (TFC) in the control sample was 111.8 mg/100g. Among the studied treatments the highest TFC was reported in the blanched samples (108.7 mg/100g), followed by sonication (107.1 mg/100g). During microwave and sonication, the antioxidant potential of the treated samples had significantly increased while in other treatments, it was reduced.

Abstract
Microalgae rich in omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3LC-PUFA) have already shown their potential for developing functional food rich in these healthy fatty acids. Not only could they offer a more sustainable alternative for the fish stock that is currently relied upon but is unable to keep up with the demand, enrichment with certain microalgae also leads to oxidatively stable products. Although the reason for this stability has been attributed to the presence of endogenous carotenoids, further insight into their antioxidative role is missing and would be clarifying for selecting the proper microalgae for food enrichment. In trying to further accomplish this, a storage experiment (4 weeks, 37 °C) was set up with the parallel analysis of both oxidation products (primary and secondary) and carotenoids of two aqueous model systems of different (promising) microalgae (Nannochloropsis and Phaeodactylum). The results showed a clear difference in oxidative stability despite both microalgae containing endogenous carotenoids: Nannochloropsis led to oxidatively unstable and Phaeodactylum to oxidatively stable products. This was clearly confirmed by the analysis of n-3LC-PUFA throughout storage which showed a breakdown of half of the n-3LC-PUFA for Nannochloropsis. All carotenoids (violaxanthin, zeaxanthin and β-carotene for Nannochloropsis, and fucoxanthin and β-carotene for Phaeodactylum) acted as an antioxidant as shown by their degradation throughout storage, but the difference in oxidative stability pointed out an impact of carotenoid content and (possibly) type. The presence of a sufficient amount of carotenoids seems to be an important factor for perceiving oxidative stability. Phaeodactylum has shown to be more potent for food enrichment.

Abstract
Roasting could modify the protein structure/conformation, contributing to changes in functional properties. Here we investigated the effects of pre-roasting on the extraction efficiency, structural and functional properties of pea protein concentrates and isolates (PPC and PPI) produced from yellow split peas. The shorter roasting times (150 °C, 10 and 20 min) had little effect on protein yields and could increase the solubility of PPC or PPI by ∼ 12% at pH 7 and enhance the solubility of PPI by ∼ 12% (10-min roasting) and ∼ 24% (20-min roasting) at pH 3. However, a longer duration of pre-roasting (150 °C, 30 min) significantly reduced the extraction efficiency of PPC and PPI by ∼ 30% and ∼ 61%, respectively. Meanwhile, pre-roasting had minor effects on SDS-PAGE profiles and the secondary structures of pea proteins but significantly altered tertiary structures by reducing free sulfhydryl groups, increasing disulfide bonds and surface hydrophobicity. As for the emulsifying properties, pre-roasting improved the emulsion ability index (EAI) of PPC and PPI but decreased the emulsion stability index (ESI) of PPC and had no significant effect on PPI. Moreover, PPC and PPI with shorter pre-roasting duration (10 and 20 min) had endothermic peaks and showed a slight decrease in the denaturation temperature (Td) and the onset temperature (To), respectively. Overall, the study demonstrated that controlled pre-roasting at 150 °C for 10 min and 20 min altered protein structures (mainly tertiary structures), improving the solubility and EAI of pea proteins at pH 7, while retaining their thermal properties in comparison to unroasted samples.

Abstract
A robust and rapid HPLC method for β-carotene and β-apo-8'-carotenal analyses in various processed foods was developed. The analysis method was validated for low-fat, moderate-fat, and high-fat food matrices. The two carotenoids were identified by LC-MS/MS. The detection limits for β-carotene and β-apo-8'-carotenal in the three food matrices were 0.08-0.27 µg/g and 0.09-0.18 µg/g, respectively. The inter- and intra-day accuracy and precision were in accordance with the Codex guidelines. The validated method was applied to 57 processed food samples, possibly containing β-carotene and β-apo-8'-carotenal, obtained in Korea. The detected β-carotene and β-apo-8'-carotenal levels in the samples ranged from not detected (ND) to 6.92 µg/g and ND to 1.63 µg/g, respectively. Chocolate and cheese samples had the highest β-carotene and β-apo-8'-carotenal levels, respectively. Notably, several samples with no labeled carotenoid additives contained β-carotene. Moreover, the developed analytical method was compatible with various processed food matrices.

Abstract
Twelve pigmented wheat genotypes, one tritordeum, and one common wheat were grown in three field experiments under varying nitrogen (N) fertilization rates to investigate the contributions of genotype, environment, and fertilization on the levels of phenolic acids, anthocyanins, carotenoids and antioxidant capacity of the grains. Soluble phenolic acids increased significantly (+16%) in the environment with high soil N content, while bound phenolic acids and anthocyanins decreased (-16 and -57%). N fertilization affected the agronomic and qualitative traits but had limited effects on some bioactive compounds (bound phenolic acids and anthocyanins). The greatest differences appeared among the color groups and within the same color types, with the black group showing the most anthocyanins and phenolic acids (34.4 and 1207 mg·kg-1) and the highest antioxidant capacity. Some of the cultivars could be promising for the development of innovative supply chains and the production of functional foods, as they showed good yield and quality performances, and good antioxidant features.

Abstract
The color difference in human subcutaneous fat (SF) and orbital fat (OF) is apparent, but the reasons have been rarely elaborated. We speculate that differences in carotenoid and lipid contents may account for the discrepancy in color. In this study, the intrinsic differences in SF and OF were analyzed using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q-Exactive liquid chromatography mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (UPLC-QE Plus LC-MS/MS). Lipid profiling was performed in an independent batch. The morphology between orbital septum and SF differed statistically in the size of adipocytes and the distribution area of adipocytes. We compared carotenoid contents between two groups (seven samples) and found that lutein was more abundant in SF than that in OF with a p-value of 0.0409, suggesting that lutein could be mainly responsible for the yellow color of adipose tissue. Lipidomic results proved that SF and OF were well differentiated. Totally, 402 lipid features were detected, with 349 features in the positive ion mode and 53 features in the negative ion mode. Features (99.9%) in the positive ion mode and features (98.7%) in the negative ion mode well described various separation patterns in principal component analysis. Thirty-two features selected by variable importance in projection might account for the diversity of compounds in SF and OF. In conclusion, SF and OF differed from each other in carotenoids and lipidome. It is helpful to study the metabolism process of lipid droplets in adipocytes.

Abstract
The aim of the present work was to improve the stability and bioaccessibility of carotenoids from green oil extracts obtained from papaya by-products using oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. The effects of different concentrations of pectin (1%, 2%, and 3%), a high-molecular-size emulsifier, together with Tween 20, a low-molecular-size emulsifier, high-speed homogenization conditions (time: 2, 3, 4, and 5 min; rpm: 9500, 12,000, 14,000, and 16,000 rpm), and high-pressure homogenization (HPH) (100 MPa for five cycles) were evaluated to determine the optimal conditions for obtaining O/W stable emulsions with encapsulated carotenoids. Soybean, sunflower, and coconut oils were used to formulate these O/W emulsions. The bioaccessibility of the main individual encapsulated papaya carotenoids was evaluated using the INFOGEST digestion methodology. In addition, the microstructures (confocal and optical microscopy) of the O/W carotenoid emulsions and their behavior during in vitro digestion phases were studied. Sunflower O/W carotenoid emulsions showed smaller mean particle size, higher negative ζ-potential, and higher viscosity than soybean O/W emulsions. Particle size reduction in the O/W emulsions using the HPH process improved the bioaccessibility of papaya encapsulated carotenoids. In these O/W emulsions, depending on the vegetable oil, lycopene was the carotenoid with the highest bioaccessibility (71-64%), followed by (all-E)-β-carotene (18%), (all-E)-β-cryptoxanthin (15%), and (all-E)-β-cryptoxanthin laurate (7-4%). These results highlight the potential of using green carotenoid papaya extracts to formulate O/W emulsions to enhance carotenoid bioactivity by efficiently preventing degradation and increasing in vitro bioaccessibility.

Abstract
Food fortification is an efficient strategy to combat vitamin A deficiency. However, the stability of vitamin A during storage is low. Cereal bran can be used as a natural and affordable stabilising agent, but the mechanism behind this stabilisation remains unclear. To unravel this mechanism, vitamin A stabilisation was studied during an accelerated storage experiment (60 °C, 70% relative humidity) using a set of 30 in-house modified wheat bran samples. The characteristics of these samples were linked to vitamin A stabilisation during storage using forward regression modelling. While all wheat bran samples could stabilise vitamin A to a significant extent, the stabilising effect was more pronounced for samples with a high antioxidant capacity, high bound lipid content and low lipase activity. The main effect of lipase activity was more than thrice as large as the main effects of antioxidant capacity and bound lipid content. These results suggest that wheat bran antioxidants and bound lipids protect vitamin A from degradation during storage, while endogenous lipase activity counteracts the stabilising effect. Based on these findings, modified wheat bran mixed with vitamin A can be a cost-effective and healthy aid in food fortification by providing high vitamin A stability.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine how different forms of lutein found in nature affected their thermal stability, degradation, and antioxidant activities. The findings show that commercial lutein (CL) degraded faster than silk luteins (SLs) at ≤ 4 °C. The two-stage first-order kinetics of thermal degradation showed that Ea for SLs was 4.6-9.5 times higher than CL. However, at ≥ 25 °C, both the CL and SLs degraded rapidly within one month. SLs had half-life at 4 °C from 10 to 104 wks. FTIR and HRMS analysis revealed that their oxidation products were similar (C18H26O2: 297 m/z). Based on IC50, antioxidant activities of SLs were superior to CL. The stability and antioxidant capacity of lutein may be influenced by its naturally occurring forms. The naturally occurring forms and unpurified state of lutein can affect its stability and antioxidant activity, which must be considered when storing lutein at different temperatures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous positive effects have been attributed to lutein, a lipophilic nutrient, including resisting ultraviolet radiation and protecting retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells against blue light damage. It also has preventive effects against cardiovascular disease and cancer. However, its use could be limited by its poor stability and low bioaccessibility in the human digestive system. An encapsulation delivery system was therefore developed to resolve these limitations. In this study, chitosan-modified lutein nanoliposomes (CS-LNLs), chitosan-EGCG covalently modified lutein nanoliposomes (C-CS-EGCG-LNLs), and chitosan-EGCG noncovalently modified lutein nanoliposomes (non-C-CS-EGCG-LNLs) were designed. The average particle size, ζ-potential, and retention of lutein during storage were measured to indicate the physicochemical stability of the modified lutein nanoliposomes. The bioaccessibility of modified lutein nanoliposomes was also investigated to demonstrate the availability of lutein in the human digestive system. RESULTS First, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) verified that covalent bonds between chitosan and EGCG were formed. Subsequently, ζ-potential results revealed that C-CS-EGCG-LNLs had a relatively stable structure in comparison with lutein nanoliposomes (LNLs). The retention rate of lutein in CS-LNLs, C-CS-EGCG-LNLs, and non-C-CS-EGCG-LNLs was improved, especially in C-CS-EGCG-LNLs (at around 70% of lutein in initial system). An in vitro digestion experiment illustrated that CS-LNLs, C-CS-EGCG-LNLs, and non-C-CS-EGCG-LNLs presented relatively higher bioaccessibility, especially in C-CS-EGCG-LNLs (at around 33% of luein in initial system), which increased 2.5 and 1.65 times in comparison with free lutein and LNLs, respectively. CONCLUSION Overall, the results showed that C-CS-EGCG-LNLs presented greater physicochemical stability and bioaccessibility than LNLs, CS-LNLs, and non-C-CS-EGCG-LNLs. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Development of a novel functional yogurt rich in lycopene by Bacillus subtilis. Food Chem 2023; 407:135142. [PMID: 36493487 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.135142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Functional lycopene-rich yogurt displays attractive nutritious and health-promoting benefits among existing functional dairy products, owing to supplement with lycopene which could enhance immunity, prevent cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Due to poor stability and fat-solubility of lycopene, its incorporation into yogurt is challengeable. In this study, carotenoid genes for lycopene synthesis were co-introduced into probiotic Bacillus subtilis for efficient lycopene production. Further engineered B. subtilis was applied as adjunct starter culture for achieving lycopene-rich yogurt. Developed yogurt exhibited desirable physiochemical characteristics compared with plain yogurt. Moreover, lycopene-rich yogurt was endowed with significantly high antioxidant capacity. More importantly, this functionalized yogurt had attractive sensorial attributes for quality-assured food to facilitate consumer acceptance. As the first report of fortifying yogurt of lycopene using B. subtilis with improved functional properties, this study offers a new and facile clue to enrich bioactive lycopene and probiotic B. subtilis in yogurt for healthy and nutritional food development.

Abstract
Edible oils are indispensable for human life, providing energy and necessary fatty acids. Nevertheless, they are vulnerable to oxidation via a number of different mechanisms. Essential nutrients deteriorate as well as toxic substances are produced when edible oils are oxidized; thus, they should be retarded wherever possible. Lipid concomitants have a strong antioxidant capacity and are a large class of biologically active chemical substances in edible oils. They have shown remarkable antioxidant properties and were documented to improve the quality of edible oils in varied ways. An overview of the antioxidant properties of the polar, non-polar, and amphiphilic lipid concomitants present in edible oils is provided in this review. Interactions among various lipid concomitants and the probable mechanisms are also elucidated. This review may provide a theoretical basis and practical reference for food industry practitioners and researchers to understand the underlying cause of variations in the quality of edible oils.

Abstract
Foods are complex biosystems made up of a wide variety of compounds. Some of them, such as nutrients and bioactive compounds (bioactives), contribute to supporting body functions and bring important health benefits; others, such as food additives, are involved in processing techniques and contribute to improving sensory attributes and ensuring food safety. Also, there are antinutrients in foods that affect food bioefficiency and contaminants that increase the risk of toxicity. The bioefficiency of food is evaluated with bioavailability which represents the amount of nutrients or bioactives from the consumed food reaching the organs and tissues where they exert their biological activity. Oral bioavailability is the result of some physicochemical and biological processes in which food is involved such as liberation, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (LADME). In this paper, a general presentation of the factors influencing oral bioavailability of nutrients and bioactives as well as the in vitro techniques for evaluating bioaccessibility and is provided. In this context, a critical analysis of the effects of physiological factors related to the characteristics of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) on oral bioavailability is discussed, such as pH, chemical composition, volumes of gastrointestinal (GI) fluids, transit time, enzymatic activity, mechanical processes, and so on, and the pharmacokinetics factors including BAC and solubility of bioactives, their transport across the cell membrane, their biodistribution and metabolism. The impact of matrix and food processing on the BAC of bioactives is also explained. The researchers' recent concerns for improving oral bioavailability of nutrients and food bioactives using both traditional techniques, for example, thermal treatments, mechanical processes, soaking, germination and fermentation, as well as food nanotechnologies, such as loading of bioactives in different colloidal delivery systems (CDSs), is also highlighted.

Antioxidative capacity of microalgal carotenoids for stabilizing n-3LC-PUFA rich oil: Initial quantity is key. Food Chem 2023; 406:135044.

Abstract
The health-beneficial long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFA) are easily affected by the undesired process of lipid oxidation in fish oil, while being stable in the lipid extracts of photoautotrophic microalgae. The current research investigates the role of carotenoids by evaluating the oxidative stability of mixtures of fish oil with total lipid extracts of two different microalgae (Phaeodactylum and Isochrysis) throughout an accelerated storage experiment of 4 weeks at 37 °C. A clear separation between oxidatively stable and oxidatively unstable mixtures was observed for which the initial amount of carotenoids relative to the amount of n-3LC-PUFA was a good indicator. The lipid class composition, clearly differing between the two algae, was probably of minor influence. The antioxidative role of fucoxanthin, and diatoxanthin and β-carotene as minor carotenoids, was illustrated by their gradual degradation throughout storage. However, when their initial contents were too low, this role could not be exerted leading to thorough lipid oxidation.

Abstract
A highly efficient methodology for bioactive ingredient 3S,3′S-astaxanthin (3S,3′S-AST) preparation from genetically modified yeast (Kluyveromyces marxianus) with a combination of enzyme-assisted extraction and salt-assisted liquid-liquid extraction (SALLE) was achieved. The highest yield of 3S,3′S-AST indicated that FoodPro® CBL for yeast cell walls hydrolysis could significantly enhance extraction and obtain, with the help of SALLE procedure, quantified 3S,3′S-AST over 99% in purity through cation chelation. In the oxygen radical antioxidant capacity (ORAC) assay, the antioxidant capacity of high-purity 3S,3′S-AST products were 18.3 times higher than that of the original raw material extract. This new combination preparation may replace previous methods and has the potential to be scaled up in the manufacture of high-purity 3S,3′S-AST from low-value bioresources of raw materials to high-value products in the food and/or drug industries with lower cost and simple equipment.

Abstract
Jambu (Acmella oleracea) is a vegetable used in human food. Drying is an alternative to increase the shelf life of the product. High temperatures can induce the degradation of carotenoids and reduce the health benefits of these compounds. This study investigated the effect of the Jambu leaves' drying temperature on the carotenoid composition. It was performed previously by screening 16 plants from different localities based on the total carotenoid content. The process of drying by convection was carried out at temperatures of 35, 40, 50, and 60 °C in an air circulation oven, at an air velocity of 1.4 m/s-1 and a processing time of ~20 h. The drying data were fitted to six mathematical models and the quantification of the carotenoid retention was determined by HPLC-DAD. The study demonstrates that the carotenoid content among the samples collected from the 16 producers varied by 72% (lower-175 ± 16 μg/g, higher-618 ± 46 μg/g). Among the models, the Page model was found to be the most suitable model to explain the variation of the experimental data. The drying process at 40 °C reduces the Jambu leaves' carotenoid content significantly (p < 0.05) (All-trans-β-carotene-86 ± 2 μg/g, All-trans-lutein-141 ± 0.2 μg/g) but does not alter the carotenoid profile. The occurrence of similar reduction behavior was observed for the different carotenoids at all the temperatures studied. The drying process at 35 °C was the condition that ensured the highest retention of carotenoids, and also a product classified as a very high source of carotenoids (total carotenoids-748 ± 27 μg/g, vitamin A-17 ± 1 μg RAE/g). Thus, this study concludes that a temperature of 35 °C for 14 h (air velocity-1.4 m/s-1) is the best drying condition for Jambu leaves using a low-cost dryer and as a possibility for the preservation and marketing of this Amazonian raw material.

Microencapsulation of Carotenoid-Rich Extract from Guaraná Peels and Study of Microparticle Functionality through Incorporation into an Oatmeal Paste. Foods 2023; 12:foods12061170.

Abstract
The peels of guaraná (Paullinia cupana) fruit contain abundant carotenoid content, which has demonstrated health benefits. However, these compounds are unstable in certain conditions, and their application into food products can be changed considering the processing parameters. This study aimed to encapsulate the carotenoid-rich extract from guaraná peels by spray drying (SD), characterize the microparticles, investigate their influence on the pasting properties of oatmeal paste, and evaluate the effects of temperature and shear on carotenoid stability during the preparation of this product. A rheometer with a pasting cell was used to simulate the extrusion conditions. Temperatures of 70, 80, and 90 °C and shear rates of 50 and 100 1/s were the parameters evaluated. Microparticles with a total carotenoid content between 40 and 96 µg/g were obtained. Over the storage period, carotenoid stability, particle size, color, moisture, and water activity varied according to the core:carrier material proportion used. Afterward, the formulation SD1:2 was selected to be incorporated in oatmeal, and the paste viscosity was influenced by the addition of this powder. β-carotene retention was higher than that of lutein following the treatment. The less severe treatment involving a temperature of 70 °C and a shear rate of 50 1/s exhibited better retention of total carotenoids, regardless of whether the carotenoid-rich extract was encapsulated or non-encapsulated. In the other treatments, the thermomechanical stress significantly influenced the stability of the total carotenoid. These results suggest that the addition of encapsulated carotenoids to foods prepared at higher temperatures has the potential for the development of functional and stable products.

Abstract
Pre-processing treatments performed on lutein sources can cause it to degrade, generating superfluous metabolites and lowering lutein's bioactivity. However, evidences suggesting extent of reduction in functional stability of lutein on exposure to such treatment conditions are nil. This study is first of its kind, where we attempted to gain clarity on the extent of degradation caused by the changes in temperature (40-100 °C), pH (2-8) and duration of such treatments. Increase (3.9 folds) in lutein loss within an hour at 40 °C occurred when pH was lowered from 8 to 2. Increase (1.7 folds) in lutein loss at neutral pH and 40 °C occurred when duration of exposure was increased from 1 to 4 h. Besides, lutein loss significantly increased on rising the temperature by every 10 °C. The functional stability of lutein in relation to its degradation was also studied by monitoring its radical scavenging activity. While lutein is highly unstable, lutein structure and its respective bioactivity can be significantly (p < 0.05) retained (< 12.44% and > 54.87% respectively) by maintaining the operating conditions at higher pH (7-8) and lower temperatures (40-50 °C) for a short period of time (< 1 h).

Abstract
The pigment astaxanthin, one of the carotenoids, is regarded as a functional factor with various biological activities, widely applied in feed, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries. However, its low stability and poor water solubility limit its application. Examples in nature suggest that binding to proteins is a simple and effective method to improve the stability and bioavailability of astaxanthin. Proteins from algae, fish, and crustaceans have all been demonstrated to have astaxanthin-binding capacity. Inspired by nature, artificial astaxanthin-protein systems have been established in foods. Binding to proteins could bring aquatic species various colors, and changes in the conformation of astaxanthin after binding to proteins leads to color changes. The review innovatively summarizes multiple examples of proteins as means of protecting astaxanthin, giving a reference for exploring and analyzing pigment-protein interactions and providing a strategy for carotenoids stabilization and color regulation, which is beneficial to the broader and deeper applications of carotenoids.

Due to people's pursuit of healthy and green life, soy protein isolate (SPI) is occupying a larger and larger market share. However, the low solubility of SPI affects its development in the field of food and medicine. This paper aimed to investigate the effects of sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) on the functional properties and structures of phosphorylated SPI and its lutein-loaded emulsion. After modification by STMP, the phosphorus content of phosphorylated SPI reached 1.2-3.61 mg/g. Infrared spectrum and X-ray photoelectron spectrum analysis confirmed that PO4 3- had phosphorylation with -OH in serine of SPI molecule. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that phosphorylation destroyed the crystal structure of protein molecules. Zeta potential value of phosphorylated SPI decreased significantly. When STMP addition was 100 g/kg, particle size of protein solution decreased to 203 nm, and solubility increased to 73.5%. Furthermore, emulsifying activity and emulsifying stability increased by 0.51 times and 8 times, respectively. At the same protein concentration (1%-3% [w/w]), lutein-loaded emulsion prepared by phosphorylated SPI had higher absolute potential and smaller particle size. The phosphorylated protein emulsion at 2% concentration had the best emulsion stability after storage for 17 days. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Phosphorylation significantly improved the emulsifying properties and solubility of SPI. Phosphorylated SPI significantly improved the stability of lutein-loaded emulsion. It provides theoretical basis for the application of phosphorylated SPI as emulsifier in delivery system and broadens the development of lutein in food and medicine field.

Enhancing in vivo retinol bioavailability by incorporating β-carotene from alga Dunaliella salina into nanoemulsions containing natural-based emulsifiers. Food Res Int 2023; 164:112359. [PMID: 36737947 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2022.112359] [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: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 12/03/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
The use of microalgae as a source of bioactive compounds has gained interest since they present advantages vs higher plants. Among them, Dunaliella salina is one of the best sources of natural β-carotene, which is the precursor of vitamin A. However, β-carotene shows reduced oral bioavailability due to its chemical degradation and poor absorption. The work aimed to evaluate the influence of the emulsifier and oil concentration on the digestive stability of Dunaliella Salina-based nanoemulsions and study their influence on the digestibility and the β-carotene bioaccessibility. In addition, the effect of the emulsifier nature on the absorption of β-carotene and its conversion to retinol in vivo was also investigated. Results showed that the coalescence observed in soybean lecithin nanoemulsion during the gastrointestinal digestion reduced the digestibility and β-carotene bioaccessibility. In contrast, whey protein nanoemulsion that showed aggregation in the gastric phase could be redispersed in the intestinal phase facilitating the digestibility and bioaccessibility of the compound. In vivo results confirmed that whey protein nanoemulsion increased the bioavailability of retinol to a higher extent (Cmax 685 ng/mL) than soybean lecithin nanoemulsion (Cmax 394 ng/mL), because of an enhanced β-carotene absorption.

Abstract
The water status, texture properties, sugars, and total carotenoid of dehydrated yellow peach slices pretreated with or without osmotic dehydration (OD) combined with heat pump drying were studied. In this study, different osmotic agents were used, namely, sucrose and isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) with 30 °Brix for 1, 3, and 5 h. Results showed that the dehydrated samples pretreated by sucrose-OD with the best shape and cell structure showed lower hardness compared to the dehydrated yellow peach slices with IMO-OD pretreatment and without OD pretreatment. Notably, the highest total carotenoid content was found in dehydrated yellow peach slices pretreated by IMO-OD, followed by samples without OD, and samples with sucrose-OD pretreatment. In addition, the lowest aW (0.517) was obtained in samples with IMO-OD for 5 h, which was beneficial for storage. The assessment of water status and total carotenoid content of dehydrated yellow peach slices showed that IMO-OD pretreatment could better improve the quality of dehydrated fruits. Moreover, the use of IMO in OD treatment was a good alternative to sucrose.

Abstract
Food bioactives exhibit various health-promoting effects and are widely used in functional foods to maintain human health. After oral intake, bioactives undergo complex biological processes before reaching the target organs to exert their biological effects. However, several factors may reduce their bioavailability. Colloidal systems have attracted special attention due to their great potential to improve bioavailability and bioefficiency. Herein, we focus on the importance of in vivo studies of the biological fates of bioactives delivered by colloidal systems. Increasing evidence demonstrates that the construction, composition, and physicochemical properties of the delivery systems significantly influence the in vivo biological fates of bioactives. These results demonstrate the great potential to control the in vivo behavior of food bioactives by designing specific delivery systems. We also compare in vivo and in vitro models used for biological studies of the fate of food bioactives delivered by colloidal systems. Meanwhile, the significance of the gut microbiota, targeted delivery, and personalized nutrition should be carefully considered. This review provides new insight for further studies of food bioactives delivered by colloidal systems, as well as scientific guidance for the reasonable design of personalized nutrition.

Lutein-Fortified Plant-Based Egg Analogs Designed to Improve Eye Health: Formation, Characterization, In Vitro Digestion, and Bioaccessibility. Foods 2022; 12:foods12010002. [PMID: 36613218 PMCID: PMC9818212 DOI: 10.3390/foods12010002] [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: 10/29/2022] [Revised: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Lutein is a carotenoid found in real eggs that has been reported to have beneficial effects on eye health by reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration. However, lutein is not often included in plant based (PB) egg analogs. It would, therefore, be advantageous to fortify PB eggs with this health-promoting carotenoid. Moreover, lutein is a natural pigment with a bright red to yellowish color depending on its concentration and environment. It can, therefore, also be used as a plant-based pigment to mimic the desirable appearance of egg yolk. Some of the main challenges to using lutein as a nutraceutical and pigment in PB foods are its poor water-solubility, chemical stability, and bioavailability. In this study, we encapsulated lutein in oil-in-water emulsions, which were then utilized to formulate whole egg analogs. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) protein isolated from a sustainable plant-based source (duckweed) was used to mimic the thermally irreversible heat-set gelling properties of globular egg proteins, with the aim of obtaining a similar cookability and texture as real eggs. The lutein content (80 mg/100 g) of the egg analogs was designed to be at a level where there should be health benefits. The protein (12.5 wt.%) and oil (10 wt.%) contents of the egg analogs were selected to match those of real egg. The effects of oil droplet size and oil type on the bioaccessibility of the encapsulated lutein were examined using the INFOGEST in vitro digestion model. For the emulsions formulated with long chain triglycerides (LCTs, corn oil), lutein bioaccessibility significantly increased when the initial droplet diameter decreased from around 10 to 0.3 μm, which was attributed to more rapid and complete digestion of the lipid phase for smaller droplets. For medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), however, no impact of droplet size on lutein bioaccessibility was observed. A high lutein bioaccessibility (around 80%) could be obtained for both LCTs and MCTs emulsions containing small oil droplets. Thus, both types of oil can be good carriers for lutein. In summary, we have shown that lutein-fortified PB eggs with good digestibility and bioaccessibility can be created, which may play an important role in ensuring the health of those adopting a more plant-based diet.
