Abstract
Electrospraying for Vitamin C (VC) encapsulation in Chitosan (Cs) nanoparticles was investigated and particle size, zeta potential, loading capacity (LC%) and encapsulation efficiency (EE%) were examined. Cs concentration (1-2% w/v) and voltage (21-25 kV) were varied with VC (0.25-0.75 w/w Cs). Twenty experiments in a face-centered CCD-RSM design were evaluated. ANOVA suggested voltage and Cs concentration as significant factors for particle size and VC content affected zeta, LC and EE%. RSM proposed optimum processing parameter at 2% Cs, 0.746 VC: Cs mass ratio and 21 kV voltage with 251.1 ± 59.03 nm particle size, 36.6% LC and an EE of 85.42%. Encapsulated particles were subjected to release behaviour, antioxidant property and analyzed through FTIR, DSC and XRD. Encapsulated VC had better antibacterial properties than Cs nanoparticles, and comparable VC retention in apple juice showed its effectiveness. Overall, nanoencapsulation of VC using electrospraying was successfully developed to be used in numerous food processing applications.

Abstract
Contemporary scientific findings revealed that our daily food stuffs are enriched by encrypted bioactive peptides (BPs), evolved by peptide linkage of amino acids or encrypted from the native protein structures. Remarkable to these BPs lies in their potential health benefiting biological activities to serve as nutraceuticals or a lead addition to the development of functional foods. The biological activities of BPs vary depending on the sequence as well as amino acid composition. Existing database records approximately 3000 peptide sequences which possess potential biological activities such as antioxidants, antihypertensive, antithrombotic, anti-adipogenics, anti-microbials, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancerous. The growing evidences suggest that BPs have very low toxicity, higher accuracy, less tissue accretion, and are easily degraded in the disposed environment. BPs are nowadays evolved as biologically active molecules with potential scope to reduce microbial contamination as well as ward off oxidation of foods, amend diverse range of human diseases to enhance the overall quality of human life. Against the clinical and health perspectives of BPs, this review aimed to elaborate current evolution of nutritional potential of BPs, studies pertaining to overcome limitations with respect to special focus on emerging extraction, protection and delivery tools of BPs. In addition, the nano-delivery mechanism of BP and its clinical significance is detailed. The aim of current review is to augment the research in the field of BPs production, identification, characterisation and to speed up the investigation of the incredible potentials of BPs as potential nutritional and functional food ingredient.

Electrospun plant protein-based nanofibers loaded with sakacin as a promising bacteriocin source for active packaging against Listeria monocytogenes in quail breast. Int J Food Microbiol 2023; 391-393:110143. [PMID: 36863307 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110143] [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: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2023]
Abstract
The main objective of this study was to fabricate nanofibers from zein incorporated with two concentrations of sakacin (9 and 18 AU/mL) with anti-Listeria properties by electrospinning technique. The efficacies of the resulting active nanofibers against L. innocua, in quail breast during 24 days of refrigerated storage (4 ± 1 °C) were evaluated. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of bacteriocin against L. innocua was approximate 9 AU/mL. Fourier-transform infrared spectra of bacteriocin-loaded nanofibers indicated characteristic peaks of zein and sakacin and that the nanofibers showed an encapsulation efficiency close to 91.5 %. The thermal stability of sakacin increased by electrospinning. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that nanofibers prepared from electrospinning zein/sakacin solutions exhibited smooth and continuous nanofibers with no defects with an average diameter between 236 and 275 nm. The presence of sakacin led to decreased contact angle properties. Nanofibers with 18 AU/mL sakacin exhibited the highest zone of inhibition of 226.14 ± 8.05 mm. The lowest L. innocua (6.1 logs CFU/cm2) growth after 24 days at 4 °C were obtained in quail breast wrapped with zein containing 18 AU/mL sakacin. The results demonstrate an outlook for the potential use of zein nanofibers containing sakacin to reduce L. innocua contamination in ready-to-eat (RTE) products.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, vitamin D deficiency has been recognized as a serious global public health challenge. The World Health Organization has recommended fortification of foods with vitamin D, but this is often challenging because of its low water solubility, poor chemical stability, and low bioavailability. Studies have shown that these challenges can be overcome by encapsulating vitamin D within well-designed delivery systems containing nanoscale or microscale particles. The characteristics of these particles, such as their composition, size, structure, interfacial properties, and charge, can be controlled to attain desired functionality for specific applications. Recently, there has been great interest in the design, production, and application of vitamin-D loaded delivery systems. Many of the delivery systems reported in the literature are unsuitable for widespread application due to the complexity and high costs of the processing operations required to fabricate them, or because they are incompatible with food matrices. In this article, the concept of "fortification by design" is introduced, which involves a systematic approach to the design, production, and testing of colloidal delivery systems for the encapsulation and fortification of oil-soluble vitamins, using vitamin D as a model. Initially, the challenges associated with the incorporation of vitamin D into foods and beverages are reviewed. The fortification by design concept is then described, which involves several steps: (i) selection of appropriate vitamin D form; (ii) selection of appropriate food matrix; (iii) identification of appropriate delivery system; (iv) identification of appropriate production method; (vii) establishment of appropriate testing procedures; and (viii) system optimization.

Abstract
Several studies have already demonstrated that electrospinning is an excellent tool for forming nano/microfibers. However, the number of parameters affecting the formation of the structures has become a great challenge, including the polymeric solutions’ rheological properties, directly affecting the morphology of the fibers formed. The present work aimed to produce polymeric composites and determine their rheological properties, comparing them to the morphology of the fibers formed by electrospinning. Also, to evaluate their potential use as the carriers of natural pigments. To this end, a distinct combination of solutions containing Chitosan/Gelatin, Chitosan/poly(ethylene) oxide (PEO) and Zein/PEO was produced and submitted to electrospinning. The sample containing zein manufactured the structures smaller in diameter (201.3 ± 58.6 nm) among those studied. Besides, it was observed that adding PEO to the solutions impacts the increase in viscosity and shear thinning behavior, guaranteeing uniformity in the structures formed. Natural pigments were successfully incorporated into the chosen zein/PEO solution, and it was observed that adding these compounds led to changes in the rheological characteristics, as expected. Nevertheless, it was possible to produce uniform fibers with diameters ranging from 665.68 ± 249.56 to 2874.44 ± 1187.40 nm, opening the possibility of using these natural pigments in biotechnological processes.

Abstract
Bioactive food compounds, such as lycopene, curcumin, phytosterols, and resveratrol, have received great attention due to their potential health benefits. However, these bioactive compounds (BCs) have poor chemical stability during processing and low bioavailability after consumption. Several delivery systems have been proposed for enhancing their stability and bioavailability. Among these methods, porous biopolymers have emerged as alternative encapsulation materials, as they have superior properties like high surface area, porosity, and tunable surface chemistry to entrap BCs. This reduces the crystallinity (especially for the lipophilic ones) and particle size, and in turn, increases solubilization and bioavailability. Also, loading BCs into the porous matrix can protect them against environmental stresses such as light, heat, oxygen, and pH. This review introduces polysaccharide-based porous biopolymers for improving the bioaccessibility/bioavailability of bioactive food compounds and discusses their recent applications in the food industry. First, bioaccessibility and bioavailability are described with a special emphasis on the factors affecting them. Then, porous biopolymer fabrication methods, including supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2 ) drying, freeze-drying, and electrospinning and electrospraying, are thoroughly discussed. Finally, common polysaccharide-based biopolymers (i.e., starch, nanocellulose, alginate, and pectin) used for generating porous materials are reviewed, and their current and potential future food applications are critically discussed.

Abstract
The rapid progress in modern technologies and paying more attention to food safety has prompted new green technologies superior than chemical methods in the food industry. In this regard, enzymes can decrease the usage of chemical reactions but they are sensitive to environmental effects (pH and temperature). In addition, enzymes are scarcely possible to be reused. Consequently, their application as natural catalysts is restricted. Using nanotechnology and the possibility of enzyme immobilization on nanomaterials has led to nanobiocatalysts, resulting from the integration of nanotechnology and biotechnology. Nanocarriers have individual features like nanoscale size, excellent surface/volume ratio, and diversity in construction to improve the activity, efficiency, stability, and storage stability of enzymes. Nanobiocatolysts have a wide range of applications in purification, extraction, clarification, production, and packaging of various products in the food industry. Furthermore, the application of nanobiocatalysts to identify specific components of food contaminants such as microorganisms or their metabolites, heavy metals, antibiotics, and residual pesticides has been successful due to the high accuracy of detection. This review investigates the integration of nanotechnology and food enzymes, the nanomaterials used to create nanobiocatalysts and their application, along with the possible risks and legal aspects of nanomaterials in food bioprocesses.

Abstract
Among the species of plants present in the Atlantic Forest, the jussara (Euterpe edulis Mart.) stands out for the contents of bioactive compounds present in its composition. Fermentation processes can be essential in converting bioproducts and bioactive compounds, improving their biological properties. In addition, the improvement of procedures for the maintenance of the features of bioactive compounds has been a research focus in recent years, and the nanotechnology features that can potentially solve this issue have been highlighted among the most reviewed paths. The present work focused on tailoring nanostructures applying polyethylene oxide, assembling fermented jussara pulp nanofibers, and assessing their characteristics. The results revealed the formation of fermented jussara nanofibers with a diameter of 101.2 ± 26.2 nm. Also, the obtained results allow us to state that it is possible to maintain or even increase the antioxidant activity of anthocyanins and their metabolites after fermentation processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nanotechnology is a tool being used intensely in the area of drug delivery systems in the biomedical field. Electrospraying is one of the nanotechnological methods, which is growing due to its importance in the development of nanoparticles comprising bioactive compounds. It is helpful in improving the efficacy, reducing side effects of active drug elements, and is useful in targeted drug delivery. When compared to other conventional methods like nanoprecipitation, emulsion diffusion, and double emulsification, electrospraying offers better advantages to produce micro/nanoparticles due to its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and single-step process. OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper is to highlight the use of electrosprayed nanoparticles for biomedical applications. METHODS We conducted a literature review on the usage of natural and synthetic materials to produce nanoparticles, which can be used as a drug delivery system for medical purposes. RESULTS We summarized a possible key role of electrosprayed nanoparticles in different therapeutic applications (tissue regeneration, cancer). CONCLUSION The modest literature production denotes that further investigation is needed to assess and validate the promising role of drug-loaded nanoparticles through the electrospraying process as noninvasive materials in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Electrohydrodynamic atomisation (EHDA) technologies have evolved significantly over the past decade; branching into several established and emerging healthcare remits through timely advances in the engineering sciences and tailored conceptual process designs. More specifically for pharmaceutical and drug delivery spheres, electrospraying (ES) has presented itself as a high value technique enabling a plethora of different particulate structures. However, when coupled with novel formulations (e.g. co-flows) and innovative device aspects (e.g., materials and dimensions), core characteristics of particulates are manipulated and engineered specifically to deliver an application driven need, which is currently lacking, ranging from imaging and targeted delivery to controlled release and sensing. This demonstrates the holistic nature of these emerging technologies; which is often overlooked. Parametric driven control during particle engineering via the ES method yields opportunistic properties when compared to conventional methods, albeit at ambient conditions (e.g., temperature and pressure), making this extremely valuable for sensitive biologics and molecules of interest. Furthermore, several processing (e.g., flow rate, applied voltage and working distance) and solution (e.g., polymer concentration, electrical conductivity and surface tension) parameters impact ES modes and greatly influence the production of resulting particles. The formation of a steady cone-jet and subsequent atomisation during ES fabricates particles demonstrating monodispersity (or near monodispersed), narrow particle size distributions and smooth or textured morphologies; all of which are successfully incorporated in a one-step process. By following a controlled ES regime, tailored particles with various intricate structures (hollow microspheres, nanocups, Janus and cell-mimicking nanoparticles) can also be engineered through process head modifications central to the ES technique (single-needle spraying, coaxial, multi-needle and needleless approaches). Thus, intricate formulation design, set-up and combinatorial engineering of the EHDA process delivers particulate structures with a multitude of applications in tissue engineering, theranostics, bioresponsive systems as well as drug dosage forms for specific delivery to diseased or target tissues. This advanced technology has great potential to be implemented commercially, particularly on the industrial scale for several unmet pharmaceutical and medical challenges and needs. This review focuses on key seminal developments, ending with future perspectives addressing obstacles that need to be addressed for future advancement.

Abstract
Electrospraying (ESPR) is a cost effective, flexible, and facile method that has been used in the pharmaceutical industry, and thanks to its wide variety of uses such as bioactive compound encapsulation, micronization, and food product coating, which have received a great attention in the food market. It uses a jet of polymer solution for processing food and food-derived products. Droplet size can be extremely small up to nanometers and can be regulated by altering applied voltage and flow rate. Compared to conventional techniques, it is simple, cost effective, uses less solvent and products are obtained in one step with a very high encapsulation efficiency (EE). Encapsulation provided using it protects bioactives from moisture, thermal, oxidative, and mechanical stresses, and thus provides them a good storage stability which will help in increasing the application of these ingredients in food formulation. This technique has an enormous potential for increasing the shelf life of fruit and vegetables through coating and improvement of eating quality. This study is aimed at overviewing the operating principles of ESPR, working parameters, applications, and advantages in the food sector. The article also covers new ESPR techniques like supercritical assisted ESPR and ESPR assisted by pressurized gas (EAPG) which have high yield as compared to conventional ESPR. This article is enriched with good information for research and development in ESPR techniques for development of novel foods.

Abstract
Electrosprayed zein nanoparticles containing 10% (w/w) of clove essential oil (CEO) were prepared and then with different levels (5, 10, and 15% w/w) in the starch matrix were used. The incorporation of zein nanoparticles in the structure of starch-based bio-nanocomposites films was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. Increasing the level of application of zein bio-nanofillers in the starch film matrix increased thickness and contact angle. However, the use of electrosprayed zein nanoparticles loaded by CEO (EZN-CEO) up to 10% significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the water vapor permeability (WVP), but using 15% of the nanoparticles increased the WVP of the films significantly (p < 0.05). Increasing the EZN-CEO up to 10% significantly (p < 0.05) increased the tensile strength and Young's modulus and reduced the elongation at break of the films. Sustained release of CEO from the bio-nanocomposites showed that the most release of the CEO occurs in 10% ethanol medium. The Fickian diffusion was the predominant mechanism in the release of the CEO, and the Peleg model was selected as the best one to explain the release behavior. The structures designed in this study can be used as an edible coating and bio-preservative in perishable food products.

Abstract
β-Carotene is a lipophilic bioactive compound, providing significant health benefits. Formulation of β-carotene-enriched functional foods is a challenge, due to its poor stability, sensitivity towards light, temperature, oxygen, and its poor water solubility which leads to low bioaccessibility and bioavailability. Targeted delivery and controlled release of bioactive compounds directly depend on the encapsulating matrix and particle size. This work reports an effective encapsulation of β-carotene in zein matrix with glycerol as stabilizing agent. β-Carotene was encapsulated in zein protein matrix with different core-to-wall ratios (1 : 10, 1 : 50 and 1 : 100) at micro- and nano-level, through spray drying and electrospraying techniques, respectively. A comparative evaluation of processing technique, resulting particle size and its impact on powder flow properties, dissolution, release and absorption behaviour was conducted. Results showed that up to 81% of encapsulation efficiency was achieved for the nanoencapsulated form obtained through the electrospraying technique. Nanoencapsulates showed excellent dissolution behaviour compared to microencapsulates due to reduced particle size and larger surface area. Further, under simulated in vitro gastrointestinal conditions, nanoencapsulates showed faster release than microparticles. Among the three ratios tested, nanoencapsulates at 1 : 50 were found to be optimal with ∼73% encapsulation efficiency, exhibiting faster release giving more bioaccessibility, with 1.29- and 1.36-fold higher permeability than 1 : 10 and 1 : 100 formulations, respectively. Additionally, the 1 : 50 nanoencapsulates gave ∼1.7-fold increased permeability compared to microparticles at the end of 3 h using an ex vivo everted gut sac technique. This study proves the potential of zein nanoparticles for enhanced permeability and bioavailability of β-carotene.

Abstract
The development of processes for stabilization of the properties of bioactive compounds has been studied in recent years, and the use of nanotechnology is among the most discussed routes. The present work addressed the assembly of nanostructures using polyethylene oxide (PEO), the production of core-shell nanofibers (NFs) with bioactive compounds, and the evaluation of their microscopic and physical characteristics. Aqueous solutions of PEO were electrospun by varying different process and solution parameters (PEO and NaCl concentrations, feeding rate, the tip-to-collector distance (TCD), and applied voltage) in order to optimize production of nanostructures. The best condition obtained was evaluated to form core-shell NFs composed by jussara pulp as a source of anthocyanins. To assess the production of NFs with PEO and jussara pulp, feed solutions were prepared in acetate buffer (pH 4.5) with 6% PEO and 10% lyophilized jussara pulp, at a feeding rate of 150 μL·h−1 and TCD of 15 cm using an applied voltage of 10 kV to form core-shell NFs. The results revealed the formation of core-shell NFs with a diameter of 126.5 ± 50.0 nm. The outcomes achieved represent a crucial step in the application of anthocyanins in food systems as pigments, establishing a basis for further research on the incorporation of nanomaterials into foodstuff.

Abstract
The post genomic era has brought breakthroughs in our understanding of the complex and fascinating symbiosis we have with our co-evolving microbiota, and its dramatic impact on our physiology, physical and mental health, mood, interpersonal communication, and more. This fast "proliferating" knowledge, particularly related to the gut microbiota, is leading to the development of numerous technologies aimed to promote our health via prudent modulation of our gut microbiota. This review embarks on a journey through the gastrointestinal tract from a biomaterial science and engineering perspective, and focusses on the various state-of-the-art approaches proposed in research institutes and those already used in various industries and clinics, for delivery to the gut microbiota, with emphasis on the latest developments published within the last 5 years. Current and possible future trends are discussed. It seems that future development will progress toward more personalized solutions, combining high throughput diagnostic omic methods, and precision interventions.

Abstract
The electrospraying technique, which consists of electrohydrodynamic atomization of polymeric fluids, can be used to generate dry nano- and microparticles by subjecting a polymer solution, suspension or melt to a high voltage (typically in the range of 7-20 kV) electric field. This potential can be exploited for developing nano- and microencapsulation structures under mild temperature conditions. Thus, it constitutes a promising alternative to conventional microencapsulation techniques for sensitive ingredients, like most plant-derived bioactive compounds, especially for their application in the food sector. Given the importance of plants as one of the major sources of dietary bioactive compounds, significant attention has been recently paid to research the encapsulation of phytochemicals through novel techniques such as electrospraying, aiming to provide new tools for the development of innovative functional food products and nutraceuticals. In this review, the latest advances in the application of electrospraying for nano- and microencapsulation of phytochemicals are discussed, with a focus on their potential use in the food sector.

Abstract
The effect of treatment of pepper fruits with gaseous ozone and storage time following the ozonation process on changes in the content of lipophilic fraction is analyzed for the first time in this paper. The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of ozone treatment on the composition of lipophilic compound fraction and its antioxidant activity (AA). Pepper fruits of cv. Cyklon were ozonated for 1 and 3 h immediately after harvesting. Then, the fruits were stored for 30 days under refrigeration conditions. The total content of phenolic compounds and the AA of the lipophilic fraction isolated from the pericarp and placenta of the fruits were investigated after 10, 20, and 30 days of storage. Additionally, quantitative high-performance liquid chromatography diode array detection analysis of individual phenolic compounds was performed. The results revealed that the content and activity of secondary metabolites varied during storage, with the highest values recorded on the 20th day after harvest, both in control and ozonated fruits, regardless of the ozone dosage used. Treatment of the fruits with ozone for 3 h, but not for 1 h, exhibited a positive effect on the phenolic composition and AA during the prolonged storage of pepper fruits. Three hours of ozonation seems to be the appropriate time to increase the persistence of pepper fruits during storage.

Abstract
Innovative solutions using biopolymer-based materials made of several constituents seems to be particularly attractive for packaging in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. In this direction, some progress has been made in extending use of the electrospinning process towards fiber formation based on biopolymers and organic compounds for the preparation of novel packaging materials. Electrospinning can be used to create nanofiber mats characterized by high purity of the material, which can be used to create active and modern biomedical and pharmaceutical packaging. Intelligent medical and biomedical packaging with the use of polymers is a broadly and rapidly growing field of interest for industries and academia. Among various polymers, alginate has found many applications in the food sector, biomedicine, and packaging. For example, in drug delivery systems, a mesh made of nanofibres produced by the electrospinning method is highly desired. Electrospinning for biomedicine is based on the use of biopolymers and natural substances, along with the combination of drugs (such as naproxen, sulfikoxazol) and essential oils with antibacterial properties (such as tocopherol, eugenol). This is a striking method due to the ability of producing nanoscale materials and structures of exceptional quality, allowing the substances to be encapsulated and the drugs/ biologically active substances placed on polymer nanofibers. So, in this article we briefly summarize the recent advances on electrospinning of biopolymers with particular emphasis on usage of Alginate for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.

Raloxifene HCl (RH) has poor water solubility and due to its extensive first pass metabolism; its bioavailability is only 2%. The purpose of the present study was to enhance the aqueous solubility, oral bioavailability and anti-osteoporotic effects of RH by electro-sprayed nanoparticles (NPs) in ovariectomized rats. NPs containing RH and different ratio of poly(methyl vinyl ether-co-maleic acid) (PMVEMA) were electrosprayed. The voltage, distance of needle to the collector, flow rate of the solution and polymeric percentage were optimized according to the size of NPs and drug solubility. The optimized formulation was characterized by SEM, XRD, DSC, and FTIR. The pharmacokinetic parameters were studies by oral administration of a single dose of 15mg/kg in Wistar rats. The anti-osteoporotic effects were studied in female ovariectomized rats. Animals were treated with 6mg/kg/day for 2months then serum calcium, phosphorous and alkaline phosphatase levels were measured. RH loaded electrosprayed NPs showed 10-fold enhanced solubility compared to the free drug. Moreover, the XRD and SEM tests displayed an amorphous state of drug in the NPs. FTIR and DSC tests revealed no interaction between the polymer and the drug. Serum calcium, phosphorous and alkaline phosphatase levels were significantly decreased in ovariectomized rats receiving oral RH NPs (P<0.05). No significant difference was detected between RH NPs and estradiol groups (P>0.05). Oral bioavailability of NPs showed 7.5-fold increase compared to the pure drug. The electrosprayed PMVEMA nanoparticles can enhance solubility, bioavailability and antiosteoporotic effects of RH.
