[PMID: 38763670 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114420] [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: 12/16/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Vitamins are responsible for providing biological properties to the human body; however, their instability under certain environmental conditions limits their utilization in the food industry. The objective was to conduct a systematic review on the use of biopolymers and lipid bases in microencapsulation processes, assessing their impact on the stability, controlled release, and viability of fortified foods with microencapsulated vitamins. The literature search was conducted between the years 2013-2023, gathering information from databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science and publishers including Taylor & Francis, Elsevier, Springer and MDPI; a total of 49 articles were compiled The results were classified according to the microencapsulation method, considering the following information: core, coating material, solvent, formulation, process conditions, particle size, efficiency, yield, bioavailability, bioaccessibility, in vitro release, correlation coefficient and references. It has been evidenced that gums are the most frequently employed coatings in the protection of vitamins (14.04%), followed by alginate (10.53%), modified chitosan (9.65%), whey protein (8.77%), lipid bases (8.77%), chitosan (7.89%), modified starch (7.89%), starch (7.02%), gelatin (6.14%), maltodextrin (5.26%), zein (3.51%), pectin (2.63%) and other materials (7.89%). The factors influencing the release of vitamins include pH, modification of the coating material and crosslinking agents; additionally, it was determined that the most fitting mathematical model for release values is Weibull, followed by Zero Order, Higuchi and Korsmeyer-Peppas; finally, foods commonly fortified with microencapsulated vitamins were described, with yogurt, bakery products and gummy candies being notable examples.

Abstract
The interaction between mucoadhesive materials and mucin layers is of significant interest in the development of drug delivery systems and biomedical applications for effective targeting and prolonged stay in the gastrointestinal tract. In this article, the current advancement and mucoadhesive properties of chitosan concerning the stomach mucin layer and its interactions have been briefly addressed. Chitosan a biocompatible polysaccharide exhibited promising mucoadhesive properties attributed to its cationic nature and ability to establish bonds with mucin glycoproteins. The mucoadhesion mechanism is ascribed to the electrostatic interactions between the positively charged amino (NH2) groups of chitosan and the sialic acid residues in mucin glycoprotein which carry a negative charge. The article provides a succinct overview of prior uses, current trends, and recent advancements in chitosan-based gastric-targeted delivery systems. We look forward to further innovations and emerging research related to chitosan-based methods of delivery that may increase the chitosan suitability for use in novel therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Development of new food packaging materials is crucial to reduce the use of single-use plastics and to limit their destructive impact on the environment. Polysaccharides provide an alternative solution to this problem. This paper summarizes and discusses recent research results on the potential of modifying polysaccharides as materials for film and coating applications. Modifications of polysaccharides significantly affect their properties, as well as their application usability. Although modifications of biopolymers for packaging applications have been widely studied, polysaccharides have attracted little attention despite being a prospective, environmentally friendly, and economically viable packaging alternative. Therefore, this paper discusses approaches to the development of biodegradable, polysaccharide-based food packaging materials and focuses on modifications of four polysaccharides, such as starch, chitosan, sodium alginate and cellulose. In addition, these modifications are presented not only in terms of the selected polysaccharide, but also in terms of specific properties, i.e. hydrophilic, barrier and mechanical properties, of polysaccharides. Such a presentation of results makes it much easier to select the modification method to improve the unsatisfactory properties of the material. Moreover, very often it happens that the applied modification improves one and worsens another property, which is also presented in this review.

Abstract
This study aimed to design a new Benzydamine HCl (BNZ) suppo-sponge for controlled, mucoadhesive dosage form for vaginal candidiasis treatment, offering advantages over traditional creams, ointments, or gels. BNZ-loaded suppo-sponges were fabricated by simple casting / freeze-drying technique utilizing the cross-linking of chitosan (Cs) with vanillin (V). Vaginal suppo-sponges were prepared based on different vanillin cross-linking ratios (V).n), from 0 to 2%w/w. To best of our knowledge, this is the first study that uses Schiff's base between chitosan and vanillin as a drug delivery system to treat fungal vaginal infections. Schiff's base formation was confirmed by FT-IR. In-vitro appraisal showed acceptable physical and mechanical characteristics. Formulations based on cross-linking of Cs with V showed a more pronounced in-vitro antifungal activity. In-vitro drug release revealed a prolonged release pattern, becoming more noticeable with the higher cross-linked suppo-sponges (22.34% after 8 h). In-vivo testing of CsV2 suppo-sponge indicated a more pronounced reduction in fungal count than both CsV0 and Tantum® Rosa in the first week, with a peak reduction on day 7 and the 10th and 11th days of the second week. Conclusively, Chitosan/vanillin suppo-sponges represent a promising delivery system for drugs intended for local treatment of vaginal candidiasis. than both CsV0 and Tantum® Rosa in the first week, with a peak reduction on day 7 and the 10th and 11th days of the second week. Conclusively, Chitosan/vanillin suppo-sponges represent a promising delivery system for drugs intended for local treatment of vaginal candidiasis.

Chitosan derived chito-oligosaccharides promote osteoblast differentiation and offer anti-osteoporotic potential: Molecular and morphological evidence from a zebrafish model. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129250.

Abstract
This study delves into the potential of chito-oligosaccharides (COS) to promote osteoblast differentiation and prevent osteoporosis, utilizing experiments with mouse MSCs and the zebrafish model. The preliminary biocompatibility study affirms the non-toxic nature of COS across various concentrations. In the osteoblast differentiation study, COS enhances ALP activity and calcium deposition at the cellular level. Moreover, COS induces the upregulation of molecular markers, including Runx2, Type I collagen, ALP, osteocalcin, and osteonectin in mouse MSCs. Zebrafish studies further demonstrate COS's anti-osteoporotic effects, showcasing its ability to expedite fin fracture repair, vertebral mineralization, and bone mineralization in dexamethasone-induced osteoporosis models. The scale regenerative study reveals that COS mitigates the detrimental effects of dexamethasone induced osteoclastic activity, reducing TRAP and hydroxyproline levels while elevating the expression of Runx2a MASNA isoform, collagen2α, OC, and ON mRNAs. Additionally, COS enhances calcium and phosphorus levels in regenerated scales, impacting the bone-healthy calcium-to‑phosphorus ratio. The study also suggests that COS modulates the MMP3-Osteopontin-MAPK signaling pathway. Overall, this comprehensive investigation underscores the potential of COS to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Its multifaceted cellular and molecular effects, combined with in vivo bone regeneration and repair, propose that COS may be effective in addressing osteoporosis and related bone disorders. Nonetheless, further research is imperative to unravel underlying mechanisms and optimize clinical applications.

Abstract
In recent years, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have attracted great interest in scientific research, especially for biomedical applications such as drug delivery and orthopedic applications. Since they are readily degradable in the physiological environment, scientific research has recently been trying to make AMPs more stable. Peptoids are synthetic N-substituted glycine oligomers that mimic the structure of peptides. They have a structure that does not allow proteolytic degradation, which makes them more stable while maintaining microbial activity. This structure also brings many advantages to the molecule, such as greater diversity and specificity, making it more suitable for biological applications. For the first time, a synthesized peptoid (GN2-Npm9) was used to functionalize a nanometric chemically pre-treated (CT) titanium surface for bone-contact implant applications. A preliminary characterization of the functionalized surfaces was performed using the contact angle measurements and zeta potential titration curves. These preliminary analyses confirmed the presence of the peptoid and its adsorption on CT. The functionalized surface had a hydrophilic behaviour (contact angle = 30°) but the hydrophobic tryptophan-like residues were also exposed. An electrostatic interaction between the lysine residue of GN2-Npm9 and the surface allowed a chemisorption mechanism. The biological characterization of the CT_GN2-Nmp9 surfaces demonstrated the ability to prevent surface colonization and biofilm formation by the pathogens Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis thus showing a broad-range activity. The cytocompatibility was confirmed by human mesenchymal stem cells. Finally, a bacteria-cells co-culture model was applied to demonstrate the selective bioactivity of the CT_GN2-Nmp9 surface that was able to preserve colonizing cells adhered to the device surface from bacterial infection.

Abstract
Gene therapy, as a revolutionary treatment, has been gaining more and more attention. The key to gene therapy is the selection of suitable vectors for protection of exogenous nucleic acid molecules and enabling their specific release in target cells. While viral vectors have been widely used in researches, non-viral vectors are receiving more attention due to its advantages. Chitosan (CS) has been widely used as non-viral organic gene carrier because of its good biocompatibility and its ability to load large amounts of nucleic acids. This paper summarizes and evaluates the potential of chitosan and its derivatives as gene delivery vector materials, along with factors influencing transfection efficiency, performance evaluation, ways to optimize infectious efficiency, and the current main research development directions. Additionally, it provides an outlook on its future prospects.

Abstract
Background and purpose Wound healing is a biological process that can be difficult to manage clinically. In skin wound healing, the interaction of many cells, growth factors, and cytokines reveals an outstanding biological function mechanism. Wound healing that occurs naturally restores tissue integrity, however, it is usually restricted to wound repair. Curcumin synthesised in a chitosan matrix can be used to heal skin sores. Experimental approach The ionotropic gelation procedure required crosslinking chitosan with a tripolyphosphate (TPP) crosslinker to generate curcumin nanoparticles encapsulated in chitosan. Key results The nanoparticles were between 200 and 400 nm in size, with a strong positive surface charge and good entrapment efficacy, according to SEM and TEM investigations. Curcumin and chitosan compatibility was investigated using FTIR spectroscopy. All batches showed consistent drug release, with the F5 batch having the highest curcumin release, at 75% after 16 hours. On L929 cells, scratch assays were utilised to assess wound healing. Wound closure with widths of 59 and 65 mm with curcumin and 45 and 78 mm with curcumin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles was seen after 24 and 48 hours of examination. Conclusions According to the findings, prepared curcumin chitosan nanoparticles are beneficial in healing skin damage.
