Abstract
Polyphenols are known to undergo thermal degradation and their bioactivity is reduced. In this study, the thermal degradation of polyphenols was modulated by the complexation between polyphenols and high amylose corn starch (HACS). The inclusion complex between ferulic acid with hydrophobic group methoxy and HACS had the highest encapsulation efficiency (EE = 26.15 %), loading efficiency (LE = 2.38 %) and thermal stability (DPPH radical scavenging activity was reduced by only 5.99 % after baking). After complexing with HACS, protocatechuic acid with ortho-position hydroxyl group had a higher encapsulation rate and thermal stability than 3, 5-dihydroxybenzoic acid with meta-position hydroxyl. In addition, soy isoflavone with the higher logarithmic value of octanol-water partition coefficient (Log P = 3.66) resulted in higher encapsulation rate and thermal stability than naringenin (Log P = 2.11). The results suggest that the complexation between polyphenols and starch protects the bioactivity of polyphenols and improves the processing suitability of polyphenols.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) are promising luminescent emission layer materials for next generation electroluminescent light emitting diodes (EL-LEDs) due to their many advantages, such as environmental friendliness, low cost, and high stability. However, limited by the spin-forbidden properties of the triplet transition, it is difficult to improve the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of fluorescent CDs-based EL-LEDs. Meanwhile, traditional thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) CDs prepared using coating strategies are difficult to utilize in EL-LEDs due to the nonconductivity of the coating agent. Herein, we successfully developed matrix-free TADF CDs with yellow emission and achieved a device EQE of 5.68%, which is the highest value reported in CDs-based EL-LEDs. In addition, we also developed white EL-LEDs with an EQE of 1.70%. This study highlights the importance of interactions between precursors in modulating the electroluminescence properties of TADF emitters and provides an effective design principle for matrix-free TADF CDs.

Abstract
Consumption of leafy vegetables with excessive imidacloprid (IMI) can cause serious harm to the human body. To achieve rapid IMI detection, a carbon dots (CDs)-based fluorescent (FL) probe was hydrothermally prepared using O-phenylenediamine as the precursor. The morphology, particle size distribution, crystal structure, optics and chemical bond state of the as-prepared CDs were characterized. The mechanism of the CDs in detecting IMI was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and the CDs' selectivity, stability, sensitivity, and actual sample recovery were tested. The CDs showed good selectivity, stability, and anti-interference ability. Under optimum conditions, there was a strong linear relationship between the FL intensity of the CDs and the IMI concentration in the range of 0.037-0.2 mg/L. The detection limit was 0.00187 mg/kg. The CDs were successfully applied to detect IMI in lettuce, cole, spinach, and pakchoi with spiked recoveries between 81.026% and 106.803% and a relative standard deviation between 0.001 and 0.027%.

Abstract
Flavonoids have diverse beneficial roles that potentiate their application as nutraceutical agents in nutritional supplements and as natural antimicrobial agents in food preservation. To address poor solubility and bioactivity issues, we developed water-soluble micellar formulations loaded with single and multiple flavonoids using the biocompatible surface-active ionic liquid choline oleate. The food preservation performance was investigated using luteolin, naringenin, and quercetin as model bioactive compounds. The micellar formulations formed spherical micelles with particle sizes of <150 nm and exhibited high aqueous solubility (>5.15 mg/mL). Co-delivery of multiple flavonoids (luteolin, naringenin, and quercetin in LNQ-MF) resulted in 84.85% antioxidant activity at 100 μg/mL. The effects on Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella enterica were synergistic with fractional inhibitory concentration indices of 0.87 and 0.71, respectively. LNQ-MF hindered the growth of S. aureus in milk (0.83-0.89 log scale) compared to the control. Co-delivered encapsulated flavonoids are a promising alternative to chemical preservatives.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 903:166464.

Abstract
The widespread presence of ciprofloxacin (CIP) antibiotic in the water and soil poses substantial potential risks to the environment, threatening both human and animal health. In this study, we used nanoclay mineral allophane (Allo), β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as a bifunctional monomer, and sodium alginate as a cross-linking agent, to prepare 3D porous Allo-β-CD molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for the efficient removal of CIP from aqueous solution. The prepared Allo-β-CD MIP was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and zeta potential measurements. The effects of initial concentration, time, pH level, and ion concentration on CIP removal dynamics were systematically studied. The adsorption kinetics and equilibrium data of CIP were well-fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm models, respectively. The Allo-β-CD MIP can efficiently remove CIP from an aqueous solution, with a maximal adsorption capacity of 635 mg/g. It also has impressive recyclability, and enhanced selectivity, and is widely adaptable to various environmental conditions. The adsorption mechanisms of the as-prepared adsorbent include H bonds, hydrophobic interactions, surface complexation, and n-π EDA interactions. Given the experimental evidence, as-prepared adsorbent is therefore a promising candidate for the effective removal of CIP from the aquatic environment.

Abstract
Natural cyclodextrins (CDs) can be formed by 6, 7, or 8 glucose molecules (α-, β-, and γ-, respectively) linked in a ring, creating a cone shape. Its interior has an affinity for hydrophobic molecules, while the exterior is hydrophilic and can interact with water molecules. This feature has been used to develop active packaging applied to food, interacting with the product or its environment to improve one or more aspects of its quality or safety. It also provides monitoring information when food is optimal for consumption, as intelligent packaging is essential for the consumer and the merchant. Therefore, this review will focus on discerning which packaging is most appropriate for each situation, solubility and toxicological considerations, characterization techniques, effect on the guest properties, and other aspects related to forming the inclusion complex with bioactive molecules applied to packaging.

Abstract
Numerous natural compounds exhibit low bioavailability due to suboptimal water solubility. The solubilization methods of the modern pharmaceutical industry in contemporary pharmaceutical research are restricted by low efficiency, sophisticated technological requirements, and latent adverse effects. There is a pressing need to elucidate and implement a novel solubilizer to ameliorate these challenges. This study identified natural biomass-derived carbon dots as a promising candidate. We report on natural fluorescent carbon dots derived from Aurantia Fructus Immatures (AFI-CDs), which have exhibited a remarkable solubilization effect, augmenting naringin (NA) solubility by a factor of 216.72. Subsequent analyses suggest that the solubilization mechanism is potentially contingent upon the oration of a nanostructured complex (NA-AFI-CDs) between AFI-CDs and NA, mediated by intermolecular non-covalent bonds. Concomitantly, the synthesized NA-AFI-CDs demonstrated high biocompatibility, exceptional stability, and dispersion. In addition, NA-AFI-CDs manifested superior free radical scavenging capacity. This research contributes foundational insights into the solubilization mechanism of naringin-utilizing AFI-CDs and proffers a novel strategy that circumvents the challenges associated with the low aqueous solubility of water-insoluble drugs in the field of modern pharmaceutical science.

Abstract
The encapsulation of insoluble compounds can help improve their solubility and activity. The effects of cyclodextrin encapsulation on hesperetin's derivatives (HHSB, HIN, and HTSC) and the physicochemical properties of the formed complexes were determined using various analytical techniques. The antioxidant (DPPH•, ABTS•+ scavenging, and Fe2+-chelating ability), cytotoxic, and antibacterial activities were also investigated. The inclusion systems were prepared using mechanical and co-evaporation methods using a molar ratio compound: HP-β-CD = 1:1. The identification of solid systems confirmed the formation of two inclusion complexes at hesperetin (CV) and HHSB (mech). The identification of systems of hesperetin and its derivatives with HP-β-CD in solutions at pHs 3.6, 6.5, and 8.5 and at various temperatures (25, 37 and 60 °C) confirmed the effect of cyclodextrin on their solubility. In the DPPH• and ABTS•+ assay, pure compounds were characterized by higher antioxidant activity than the complexes. In the FRAP study, all hesperetin and HHSB complexes and HTSC-HP-β-CD (mech) were characterized by higher values of antioxidant activity than pure compounds. The results obtained from cytotoxic activity tests show that for most of the systems tested, cytotoxicity increased with the concentration of the chemical, with the exception of HP-β-CD. All systems inhibited Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
The aim of the present research was to obtain a supramolecular complex between a strong antioxidant compound previously reported by our group, in order to extend its antioxidant activity. The formation of the inclusion complex of a catechol hydrazinyl-thiazole derivative (CHT) and β-cyclodextrin in aqueous solution has been investigated using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), spectroscopic and theoretical methods. The stoichiometry of this inclusion complex was established to be equimolar (1:1) and its equilibrium constant was determined. An estimation of the thermodynamic parameters of the inclusion complex showed that it is an enthalpy and entropy-driven process. Our observations also show that hydrophobic interactions are the key interactions that prevail in the complex. 1H NMR spectroscopic method was employed to study the inclusion process in an aqueous solution. Job plots derived from the 1H NMR spectral data demonstrated 1:1 stoichiometry of the inclusion complex in a liquid state. A 2D NMR spectrum suggests the orientation of the aromatic ring of CHT inside the β-CD cavity. The antiradical activity of the complex was evaluated and compared with free CHT, indicating a delayed activity compared with free CHT. To obtain additional qualitative and visual insight into the particularity of CHT and β-CD interaction, molecular docking calculations have been performed.

Phytochemical compounds, such as naringin and berberine, have been used for many years due to their antioxidant activities, and consequently, beneficial health effects. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant properties of naringin, berberine and poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulated with naringin or berberine and their possible cytotoxic, genotoxic, and apoptotic effects on mouse fibroblast (NIH/3 T3) and colon cancer (Caco-2) cells. According to the results of the study, it was found that the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) inhibition antioxidant activity of naringin, berberine, and naringin or berberine encapsulated PMMA NPs, was significantly increased at higher tested concentrations due to the antioxidant effects of naringin, berberine and naringin or berberine encapsulated PMMA NPs. As a result of the cytotoxicity assay, after 24-, 48- and 72-h of exposure, all of the studied compounds caused cytotoxic effects in both cell lines. Genotoxic effects of studied compounds were not registered at lower tested concentrations. Based on these data, polymeric nanoparticles encapsulated with naringin or berberine may contribute to new treatment approaches for cancer, but further in vivo and in vitro research is required.

Abstract
Naringenin is a natural flavonoid that is widely distributed in citrus fruits and pharmacologically demonstrated to licit lipid-lowering activity. However, the clinical relevance of naringenin is limited due to its poor water solubility and inefficient absorption. In this study, we designed and developed naringenin-zein-sodium caseinate-galactosylated chitosan nanoparticles (GC-NPs) for hepatocyte-specific targeting, with naringenin-zein-sodium caseinate-chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) as a control. Electrostatic adsorption was the primary binding mode in the GC-NPs and CS-NPs. Moreover, the particle size and zeta potential of GC-NPs were larger than those of CS-NPs and both types of nanoparticles had similar encapsulation rates. In vitro study experiments demonstrated that GC-NPs aggregated inside and outside of the cell membrane and significantly inhibited total triglyceride and cholesterol levels in oleic acid-induced HepG2 cells (p < 0.05). In high-fat diet-fed C57BL/6J mice, GC-NPs administration visibly improved the body weight, total cholesterol, and triglyceride content in the serum and liver, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels improved, which corresponded to liver histological results. Additionally, in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated that GC-NPs exhibited higher lipid-lowering activity than CS-NPs and naringenin monomers. These results suggest that GC-NPs are effective for oral delivery of naringenin in lipid-lowering therapies.

Abstract
Genistein, an isoflavone from soybean, has attracted attention due to its health benefits, particularly antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Clinical applications of genistein, however, have been limited due to the considerable hydrophobicity and lower bioavailability of the molecule. In this study, carbon dots (C-dots) synthesized from genistein as the carbonaceous precursor exhibit antioxidant properties in test-tube and cell experiments. Anti-inflammatory activity of the genistein-C-dots was also recorded in LPS stimulated macrophages, manifested in inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine levels and enhancement anti-inflammatory cytokine expression. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of the genistein-C-dots, particularly in comparison to the parent genistein molecules, likely account to the display of functional genistein residues on the C-dots' surfaces, and low band gap energy facilitating electron scavenging. Importantly, the genistein-C-dots featured biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity, underlining their potential as a therapeutic vehicle against inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Iron overloads osteoporosis mainly occurs to postmenopausal women and people requiring repeated blood transfusions. Iron overload increases the activity of osteoclasts and decreases the activity of osteoblasts, leading to the occurrence of osteoporosis. Conventional treatment options include calcium supplements and iron chelators. However, simple calcium supplementation is not effective, and it does not have a good therapeutic effect. Oxidative stress is one of the triggers for osteoporosis. Therefore, the study focuses on the antioxidant aspect of osteoporosis treatment. The present work revealed that antioxidant carboxymethyl chitosan-based carbon dots (AOCDs) can effectively treat iron overload osteoporosis. More interestingly, the functional modification of AOCDs by doping calcium gluconate (AOCDs:Ca) is superior to the use of any single component. AOCDs:Ca have the dual function of antioxidant and calcium supplement. AOCDs:Ca effectively improve the bioavailability of calcium and achieve ultra-low concentration calcium supplement for the treatment of iron-induced osteoporosis in zebrafish.

Abstract
Uncontrolled bleeding is one of the most important causes threatening human health, but quick hemostasis remains a challenge. We prepared porous cryogels with poly β-cyclodextrin (Pβ-CD) and quaternary ammoniated chitosan (QCs). Pβ-CD acts as a "water-grabbing agent" to assist QCs' ability to absorb and concentrate blood rapidly. The rat-tail amputation model and liver injury model exhibited that cryogels had excellent hemostatic performance. Moreover, cryogels showed good antibacterial activity and biocompatibility. Therefore, these cryogels can be used as potential hemostatic materials.

Abstract
Phycocyanin (PC), a spirulina-derived protein-chromophore complex, suffers from poor techno-functional properties and is highly susceptible to aggregation and color changes upon heating and pH fluctuations. We tackled these issues by modifying PC via PEGylation. Electrophoresis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy proved successful conjugation of methoxy PEG (mPEG) chains on PC after PEGylation. Circular dichroism indicated highly ordered folding states adopted by PEGylated PC, which we attributed to the mPEG chains on the protein surface that sterically stabilized the protein structure. Consequently, the mPEG-PC conjugates exhibited high blue color intensity and improved thermodynamic stability. Further, benefit from an electrostatic shielding effect of mPEG chains, surface charges of PEGylated PC were neutralized over pH 2-9 and the blue hue of PC was stabilized against pH variations. Additionally, the flexible and hydrophilic mPEG polymers on the PC surface promoted protein-protein and protein-water interactions. PEGylated PC thus gained increased protein solubility, techno-functionality (emulsifying, foaming, and gelling performance), and antioxidant activities, when compared to unmodified PC. Heat-induced gels formed by mPEG-PC conjugates exhibited increased stiffness, higher water retention, and weak gel-type rheological properties. After PEGylation, the improved functional properties, bioactivity, and color stability against heat and pH fluctuations will facilitate food and pharmaceutical applications of PC.

Abstract
Naringenin (NRG) is a natural compound with several biological activities; however, its bioavailability is limited owing to poor aqueous solubility. In this study, NRG nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared using the wet media milling method. To obtain NRG NPs with a small particle size and high drug-loading content, the preparation conditions, including stirring time, temperature, stirring speed, and milling media amount, were optimized. The NRG (30 mg) and D-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol succinate (10 mg) were wet-milled in deionized water (2 mL) with 10 g of zirconia beads via stirring at 50 °C for 2 h at a stirring speed of 300 rpm. As a result, the NRG NPs, with sheet-like morphology and a diameter of approximately 182.2 nm, were successfully prepared. The NRG NPs were stable in the gastrointestinal system and were released effectively after entering the blood circulation. In vivo experiments indicated that the NRG NPs have good antitussive effects. The cough inhibition rate after the administration of the NRG NPs was 66.7%, cough frequency was three times lower, and the potential period was 1.8 times longer than that in the blank model group. In addition, the enzyme biomarkers and histological analysis results revealed that the NRG NPs can effectively regulate the inflammatory and oxidative stress response. In conclusion, the NRG NPs exhibited good oral bioavailability and promoted antitussive and anti-inflammatory effects.

Abstract
Lutein is a functional carotenoid that has a wide range of physiological benefits in humans. However, it easily degrades and becomes inactivated during storage and processing, resulting in low bioavailability. The development of new nanocarriers can effectively improve the stability and biological activity of lutein. In this study, zein hydrolysate (ZH) carriers were glycosylated with glucosamine (GLU) under the action of transglutaminase, and lutein-loaded glycosylated ZH nanoparticles (GZH-LUT) were constructed by liquid–liquid dispersion. The results showed that the GZH-LUT particles had a narrow size distribution in the range of 200–300 nm and a decreased zeta potential and polydispersity index. In particular, GZH trapped lutein more efficiently than ZH. In addition, GZH-LUT had better physical and chemical properties, including better water solubility, oxidative stability, and environmental stability than free lutein and ZH-LUT. These results indicate that glycosylated zein hydrolysate has the potential to be used as a novel protein-based nanocarrier to enhance the solubility and stability of lutein, which can further improve its bioavailability.

Abstract
In this paper, HACC modified with (5-Carboxypentyl) (triphenyl) phosphonium bromide (HA-CS-NP) was synthesized. Then, a multifunctional food packaging composite film with good thermal stability and antibacterial functions was fabricated by HA-CS-NP and poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA). The tensile strength and elongation at break of HA-CS-NP/PVA composite film at the weight ratio of 3/7 were 20.32 ± 1.02 MPa and 65.73 ± 3.29%, respectively. And, the inhibition rates of HA-CS-NP (0.5%) on Mango C. lagenarium and Papaya C. gloeosporioides on day 6 were up to 80.92 ± 4.12%. Compared with CK group, the weight loss of experimental groups were 23.96 ± 2.46 g/206 ± 7.25 g (mangoes) and 59.45 ± 3.06 g/496 ± 6.37 g (papaya), reduced by 35.76 ± 1.15%. Moreover, the final hardness value of the fruits coated with composite films was 4.94 ± 0.23 kg/cm3 and increased by 20.79 ± 1.04%, and the rot index was reduced by 71.43 ± 3.24%. The multifunctional HA-CS-NP/PVA coating has broad prospects in the application of food packaging.
