Abstract
Nanosized alginate-based particles (NAPs) were obtained in a one-pot solvent-free synthesis procedure, achieving the design of a biocompatible nanocarrier for the encapsulation of IbM6 antimicrobial peptide (IbM6). IbM6 is integrated in the nascent nanosized hydrogel self-assembly guided by electrostatic interactions and by weak interactions, typical of soft matter. The formation of the nanogel is a dynamic and complex process, which presents an interesting temporal evolution. In this work, we optimized the synthesis conditions of IbM6-NAPs based on small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements and evaluated its time evolution over several weeks by sensing the IbM6 environment in IbM6-NAPs from photochemical experiments. Fluorescence deactivation experiments revealed that the accessibility of different quenchers to the IbM6 peptide embedded in NAPs is dependent on the aging time of the alginate network. Lifetimes measurements indicate that the deactivation paths of the excited state of the IbM6 in the nanoaggregates are reduced when compared with those exhibited by the peptide in aqueous solution, and are also dependent on the aging time of the nanosized alginate network. Finally, the entrapment of IbM6 in NAPs hinders the degradation of the peptide by trypsin, increasing its antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli K-12 in simulated operation conditions.

Structural and mechanical analysis on mannuronate-rich alginate gels and xerogels beads based on Calcium, Copper and Zinc as crosslinkers. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 246:125659. [PMID: 37406917 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125659] [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: 05/02/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023]
Abstract
Beads based on a mannuronate(M)-rich alginate (86 % M units) were prepared by adding the polysaccharide solution to a crosslinking bath containing different concentrations (0.5, 2 and 10 wt%) of XCl2 where X = Ca, Cu or Zn. Primarily focus was on Zn, due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial capabilities. The beads were characterized by Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Fourier-Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) and compression tests. The crosslinking agent significantly influenced the properties of the resulting beads. Specifically, Ca-based beads exhibited a smoother surface, while Cu- and Zn-based beads appeared rougher. Interestingly, Zn-based beads displayed a core-shell structure. Young moduli ranged from 3500 and 7000 MPa, with the highest values observed for Zn-beads. SAXS investigation at 0.5 wt% XCl2 suggested increase in the densely packed domains amount in the order: Ca < Cu < Zn. Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) showed that the coordination number was 4.3 ± 0.4 for Cu, and 4.0 ± 0.2 and 1.1 ± 0.1 for Zn in 0.5 wt% XCl2 alginate xerogels, in agreement with reported Density Functional Calculations on Cu2+- and Zn2+-MM complexes. The results from FT-IR, compositional analysis and EXAFS collectively suggested a bridging coordination for these systems.

Abstract
Chitosan can associate in the presence of polyphosphates into insoluble hydrogels capable of drug encapsulation and safe and efficient release. On the one hand, chitosan hydrogels were synthesized using the phytate anion as a crosslinking agent and were characterized by employing dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). On the other hand, an effective chitosan-phytate model with atomistic details was created to examine the underlying physical crosslinking pattern, and the structure and dynamics of the chitosan-phytate complex were systematically investigated by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. To harbor the crosslinker potential for obtaining chitosan-based hydrogels, the impact of the phytate concentration and the functional groups of the chitosan on the reticulation process was addressed. The phytate association was determined by the phosphates' capacity for H-bonding to the amine and hydroxyl groups belonging to two consecutive glucosidic units. The physical crosslinking pattern was determined by the number of chitosan chains bound by one phytate anion and the phytate orientation relative to the glucopyranose neighbors. Cross-linking of two up to six chitosan chains mediated by a phytate anion represented favorable states, and the number distribution of cross-linked chains depended on the phytate concentration. The circular distribution of the cross-linkable phosphates regulated the nearly isotropic orientation of the chitosan chains and phytate at the junction, and the variety of topological crosslinking demonstrated the phytate ion's potential for developing chitosan-based hydrogels with improved structural attributes.

Abstract
Ca(II)-alginate beads are being produced for a broad spectrum of biotechnological uses. Despite the simplicity of their manufacturing process, in these highly complex arrangements, the final properties of the material strongly depend on the supramolecular scaffolding. Here we present a cost-effective automatized Optical Video Microscopy approach for in situ evaluation of the kinetics of alginate bead formation. With simple mathematic modeling of the acquired data, we obtained key parameters that reveal valuable information on the system: the time course of gel-front migration correlates with the plateau of the storage module, and total volume shrinkage is highly related to the stabilization of shear strain and shear stress at the yield point. Our results provide feasible and reproducible tools, which allow for a better interpretation of bead formation kinetics and a rapid screening technique to use while designing gelling materials with specific properties for technological applications.

Abstract
Currently and according to the growing worldwide interest in the revaluation of agricultural by-products, the use of legumes waste presents great potential to obtain bioactive compounds. In this context, an extract rich in phenolic compounds was obtained from Vigna unguiculata (cowpea) pods by optimizing the high-intensity ultrasound conditions (10 min and 36% of amplitude) using response surface methodology. Then, the extract was encapsulated in Ca(II)-alginate beads with the addition of arabic or guar gums or cowpea isolated proteins. A complete morphological study by image analysis and microstructural evaluation by SAXS has been carried out. Results showed that beads containing alginate and alginate-guar gum have the highest loading efficiency of total phenolic compounds (47 ± 5%) and antioxidant activity (44 ± 3%). However, the coupled effect of the cowpea extract and the isolated proteins (at it higher concentration) increased the antioxidant capacity of the beads due to the contribution of the phenolic compounds and the amino acids with anti-radical activity, reaching a value of 67 ± 3 % of inhibition of ABTS.+. Finally, the microstructural analyses revealed that cowpea pod extract increased the interconnectivity of the rods due to the presence of trivalent cations, conferring versatility, and larger coordination to the network. Also, it was observed that the addition of cowpea proteins produced more interconnected bigger and fewer compacts rods than beads containing only alginate, increasing 12 and 49 % the interconnection and the size, respectively, and decreasing 10 % their compactness. This research demonstrated the use of cowpea sub-products as a source of bioactive compounds that further modulate the microstructure of the hydrogel network, and the outstanding potential for being incorporated in techno-functional foods by using Ca(II)-alginate as a carrier.

Abstract
Structure-rheology relationship of binary composite gel (BCG) systems of alginate/guar gum and basil seed gum/guar gum at ratio 2:1 at different Ca2+ levels (2-10%) were evaluated. The highest value of structural strength was obtained at 2 % of Ca2+, which can be attributed to its stronger network as assessed by rheological experiments. Mechanical spectra of the alginate/guar gels explained pseudoplastic behavior with a highly interconnected elastic gel structure. The mechanical strength as well as other textural properties of the alginate and basil seed gum network was functions of its stoichiometry with calcium ions. Whereas alginate/guar gels showed an elongated globular denser structure as determined by SEM, the BSG/guar gels showed a rigid cubic as the pieces of a puzzle, presenting a softer and weaker gel structure. The alginate/guar gels showed less porosity without syneresis or shrinkage during storage as supported by its high elasticity and rigidity.

Abstract
In this work, we present a biocompatible one-pot processing route for ceramic/hydrogel nanocomposites in which we embed live bacteria. In our approach, we fabricate a highly stable alginate hydrogel with minimal shrinkage, highly increased structural and mechanical stability, as well as excellent biocompatibility. The hydrogel was produced by ionotropic gelation and reinforced with alumina nanoparticles to form a porous 3D network. In these composite gels, the bacteria Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis were embedded. The immobilized bacteria showed high viability and similar metabolic activity as non-embedded cells. Even after repeated glucose consumption cycles, the material maintained high structural stability with stable metabolic activity of the immobilized bacteria. Storing the bionanocomposite for up to 60 days resulted in only minor loss of activity. Accordingly, this approach shows great potential for producing macroscopic bioactive materials for biotechnological processes.

Abstract
Hydrogels are three-dimensional, hydrophilic networks, comprising polymeric chains linked through physical or chemical bonds. In the area of food, hydrogels have great potential to be used in food packaging systems or as carriers of bioactive components. This paper reviews the nature of hydrogels, their 3D network conformation, their functional properties, and their potential applications in food packaging systems. Regarding their potential food packaging applications, hydrogels can present a conformation which allows their use as part of a packaging system to control the humidity generated by food products with high water content. Moreover, the incorporation of nanoparticles into hydrogels may grant them antimicrobial activity. Finally, although the current research in this field is still limited, the results obtained so far are promising for innovative and potential applications in the food field, which also include their integration into intelligent food packaging systems and their direct incorporation into food matrices as a flavor carrier system.
