Abstract
Avenanthramide-C (AVN-C) is the biomarker for oat with a variety of physiological functions, whereas its application is constrained by low stability and bioavailability. Avenanthramide-C is the biomarker for oat with a variety of physiological functions, whereas its application is constrained by low stability and bioavailability. This study evaluated the potential of yeast cell (YC) and yeast cell wall (YCW) capsules as delivery systems for stabilizing AVN-C. It was observed that these yeast capsules possessed the ellipsoidal morphology and intact structure without visual pores. Additionally, the YCW capsules exhibited higher encapsulation and loading capacity due to the large internal space. The interaction of yeast capsules with AVN-C involved the hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding. Moreover, the loading of AVN-C induced high hydrophobicity inside the yeast capsules, which helped to protect AVN-C against degradation and release AVN-C in a slow and sustained manner in the simulated gastrointestinal tract. The YCW capsules have potential as controlled delivery system for AVN-C, which could be further used as a nutraceutical and added to functional foods.

Food Chem 2024; 443:138543. [PMID: 38301553 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138543] [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: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
In an effort to improve the application performance of apigenin, β-cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks (BCDMOFs) known as porous materials were used to encapsulate apigenin via an innovative pH-adjusted method. The embedment efficiency had a significant positive pH dependence, reaching a maximum of 79.2 % ± 1.2 % at pH12. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated formation of apigenin/BCDMOFs composites, and exposure of BCDMOFs pores facilitated high embedment efficiency. Storage stability experiment and kinetic analysis showed degradation of apigenin/BCDMOFs composites was less than that of apigenin alone. Apigenin stability was increased by approximately 18 % after 7 days. BCDMOFs effectively encapsulated and controlled the release of apigenin, and the composites exhibited improved application performance in vitro.

Curdlan-polyphenol complexes prepared by pH-driven effectively enhanced their physicochemical stability, antioxidant and prebiotic activities. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 267:131579.

Abstract
In this study, the curdlan-polyphenol complexes were constructed by a pH-driven method. The interaction between curdlan and various hydrophobic polyphenols (curcumin, quercetin, and chlorogenic acid) was investigated. Curdlan could self-assemble into particles for loading polyphenols through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. The three polyphenols were embedded in curdlan in an amorphous state. The curdlan-curcumin complex showed the lowest viscoelasticity but exhibited the highest curcumin loading ability (34.04 ± 1.73 mg/g). However, the curdlan-chlorogenic acid complex emerged the opposite trend, indicating that the loading capacity was associated with the hydrophobicity of polyphenols. The antioxidant activity of curdlan significantly increased after combining with polyphenols, which could be maintained during in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion. In particular, the curdlan-quercetin complex exhibited the highest antioxidant activity and short-chain fatty acid concentration, which could influence gut microbiota composition by promoting the proliferation of Prevotella and inhibiting the growth of Escherichia_Shigella. In conclusion, the curdlan-polyphenol complexes prepared by an alcohol-free pH-driven method could effectively enhance the gastrointestinal stability of polyphenols as well as increase the antioxidant and prebiotic activities of curdlan, which could be applied as a functional ingredient to improve gut health.

[PMID: 38065454 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128652] [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: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
Pickering high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) have gained significant attention for various applications within the food industry. Yeast cell protein (YCP), derived from spent brewer's yeast, stands out as a preferred stabilizing agent due to its cost-effectiveness, abundance, and safety profile. However, challenges persist in utilizing YCP, notably its instability under high salt concentration, thermal processing, and proximity to its isoelectric point. This study aimed to enhance YCP's emulsifying properties through glycation with glucose and evaluate its efficacy as a stabilizer for curcumin (CUR)-loaded HIPEs. The results revealed that glycation increased YCP's surface hydrophobicity, exposing hydrophobic groups. This augmentation, along with steric hindrance from grafted glucose molecules, improved emulsifying properties, resulting in a thicker interfacial layer around oil droplets. This fortified interfacial layer, in synergy with steric hindrance, bolstered resistance to pH changes, salt ions, and thermal degradation. Moreover, HIPEs stabilized with glycated YCP exhibited reduced oxidation rates and improved CUR protection. In vitro digestion studies demonstrated enhanced CUR bioaccessibility, attributed to a faster release of fatty acids. This study underscores the efficacy of glycation as a strategic approach to augment the applicability of biomass proteins, exemplified by glycated YCP, in formulating stable and functional HIPEs for diverse food applications.

Abstract
We report for the first time that curcumin is successfully encapsulated into a new natural pre-formed carrier, which was derived from arthrospore cell wall particles (APs) of probiotic Geotrichum candidum LG-8 and mainly composed of beta-1,4-glucan. Vacuum infusion process was used for efficient encapsulation of curcumin. The results showed that the encapsulation efficiency and yield of APs were 36.5 ± 0.9 % and 730.6 ± 26.5 μg/g (wet basis), respectively. Compared with the other probiotic carriers such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it could more effectively maintain the antioxidant property and storage capacity of curcumin under high temperature conditions. Simulated digestion was conducted to study in vitro release of curcumin encapsulated in APs, and showed a maximum bioaccessibility of 65.6 ± 3.8 %. In view of low-cost culture method, simple encapsulation process and high encapsulation capacity, G. candidum arthrospores as new natural encapsulation carriers have potential superiority in the practical application in food industry.

Abstract
Background Curcumin (CUR) is a functional ingredient from the spice turmeric. It has attracted considerable attention recently, owing to its diverse biological activities. However, curcumin has low water solubility, which limited its applications. Some sugar molecules were found to be able to solubilise poorly water-soluble compounds by forming micelles in aqueous solutions. Purpose To improve the water solubility and oral absorption of CUR, using a non-nutritive natural sweetener, namely, Mogroside V (Mog-V). Methods A solid dispersion of CUR in Mog-V was prepared using a solvent evaporation method. The solid dispersion was characterised by using X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. The solid dispersion can dissolve in water to form micelles with a diameter of ~160 nm, which were characterised by using dynamic light scattering. To find out the mechanism of solubilisation, the aggregation behaviour of Mog-V molecules in aqueous solution was investigated using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Finally, oral absorption of CUR in the solid dispersion was evaluated using a rodent model. Results A solid dispersion was formed in a ratio of 1 CUR to 10 Mog-V by weight. Upon dissolution into water, CUR laden micelles formed via self-assembly of Mog-V molecules, which increased the solubility of CUR by nearly 6000 times compared with pure CUR crystals. In rats, the solid dispersion increased the oral absorption of CUR by 29 folds, compared with CUR crystals. In terms of solubilisation mechanism, it was found that Mog-V self-assembled into micelles with a core-shell structure and CUR molecules were incorporated into the hydrophobic core of the Mog-V micelles. Conclusion Mog-V can form a solid dispersion with CUR. Upon dissolution in water, the Mog-V in the solid dispersion can self-assemble into micelles, which solubilise CUR and increase its oral absorption.
