Abstract
Self-assembled protein fibers have attracted much attention in the fields of medicine and food because of their high aspect ratio, polymorphic structure and strong surface hydrophobicity. In this study, three different gelation types of polysaccharides/β-lactoglobulin fiber (Fblg) composite gels, including ionic alginate-Fblg gels, synergistic xanthan-Fblg gels, and double network agar-Fblg gels, were first prepared. The interactions between the polysaccharides and the Fblgs, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite gels were investigated using the light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, rheology and texture analysis in order to reveal their formation mechanisms. Then the loading and release properties of the water-soluble drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and the hydrophobic drug curcumin (Cur) through these composite gels were further studied with release mechanisms determined by fitting different release models. It was found that the mechanical properties of the composite gels were determined by the mesh density of the three-dimensional networks formed inside the gels. The network structure and mechanical strength of the alginate-Fblg gels became weaker with the increase of Fblg content at pH 4 due to their attractive interaction which hindered the binding of Ca2+ to ALG, while the network and the strength of the alginate-Fblg gels didn't change much at pH 7 due to the repulsion between Alg and Fblg. The xanthan-Fblg gels formed lamellar structures with enhanced gel network and mechanical strength due to the hydrogen bonding and the electrostatic interaction with Fblg. The Agar-Fblg composite gel formed at 60 °C (above the gelation temperature of agar of 40 °C) had a denser double network structure and higher mechanical strength than that formed at 0 °C due to inhibition of diffusion of Ca2+ as salt bridges for Fblg. The hydrophilic drugs were loaded in the meshes of the composite gels and their release was determined by the structure of the composite gel networks, whereas the hydrophobic drugs were loaded by attaching to the Fblgs in the composite gels and their release was determined by the loading ability and strength of the gels. The study not only provided a new idea for the preparation and application of polysaccharide-protein fiber composite hydrogels, but also provided insights for improving the efficiency of drug carriers.

Abstract
Natural products from mushrooms, plants, microalgae, and cyanobacteria have been intensively explored and studied for their preventive or therapeutic potential. Among age-related pathologies, neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases) represent a worldwide health and social problem. Since several pathological mechanisms are associated with neurodegeneration, promising strategies against neurodegenerative diseases are aimed to target multiple processes. These approaches usually avoid premature cell death and the loss of function of damaged neurons. This review focuses attention on the preventive and therapeutic potential of several compounds derived from natural sources, which could be exploited for their neuroprotective effect. Curcumin, resveratrol, ergothioneine, and phycocyanin are presented as examples of successful approaches, with a special focus on possible strategies to improve their delivery to the brain.

Abstract
Exploring the emulsification capabilities of tea polysaccharide conjugates (TPCs) in high-internal-phase emulsions (HIPEs) would further expand the utilization value of TPCs. This study aimed to prepare 0.1-0.5 wt% alkali-extracted green tea polysaccharide conjugate (gTPC-A)-stabilized HIPEs containing 75-87 wt% medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) to investigate their stability, rheology, microstructure, and loading and protective effects on curcumin. The findings revealed that only 0.1 wt% of gTPC-A could stabilize HIPEs containing 85 wt% oil for 30 days. HIPEs had better storage stability in a weakly acidic environment at pH 5.0-6.0 and at temperatures less than 70 °C. HIPEs could load curcumin and protect it from ultraviolet (UV) radiation and in vitro digestion. The half-life of curcumin loaded in HIPEs was 65 h under UV radiation. The curcumin bioaccessibility of HIPEs (56.29 %) was higher than that in MCT (8.73 %). These results provided a theoretical basis for the extensive use of TPCs.

Abstract
Emulgels are a type of soft solid delivery system that exploit the merits of both emulsions and gels, namely, bioactive encapsulability and structural stability, respectively. We utilized retrograded/octenylsuccinylated maize starch (ROMS) to fabricate the curcumin-loaded emulgel. Emulgels (oil volume fraction, 0.20) prepared with 1-4 % w/w ROMS exhibited fluid-like behaviors while emulgels with 5-8 % w/w ROMS exhibited a gel-like consistency. Compared to a fluidic emulsion stabilized with 3 % w/w octenylsuccinylated maize starch, the emulgels showed more sustained lipolysis and controlled curcumin release patterns. These results were attributed to rigid ROMS structures at the outer layer of oil droplets, hindering the lipase approach onto the oil/water interface and curcumin diffusion from the interface. Additionally, the bioaccessibility of curcumin in ROMS-stabilized emulgels was enhanced >9.6-fold compared to that of a curcumin solution. Furthermore, emulgels prepared with 8 % w/w ROMS exhibited a high yield stress (376.4 Pa) and maintained appearance and droplet size for 60 days of storage at 4 °C. Consequently, this emulgel has potential as a lipophilic bioactive-containing soft gel with sustained digestion and controlled release properties. Our findings may provide insights into rational delivery system designs.

Abstract
In this study, oil bodies (OBs) loaded with curcumin (Cur) were successfully prepared via an ultrasonic and pH-driven method. Ultrasonic treatment significantly improved the encapsulation efficiency (EE) and loading capacity (LC) of Cur, producing OB particles with small size, uniform distribution, and high ζ-potential absolute values. When the ultrasonic power was 200 W, the EE, LC, and ζ-potential absolute value were the greatest (88.27 %, 0.044 %, and -25.71 mV, respectively), and the OBs possessed the highest yellowness, representing the best treatment result. The confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and cryo-scanning electron microscopy (cryo-SEM) results was also intuitionally shown that. Moreover, circular dichroism (CD) proved that ultrasonic treatment could unfold the surface protein structure, further enhancing the stability. Therefore, the cream index (CI), peroxide value (POV), and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were the lowest when the ultrasonic power was 200 W. In this case, the Cur loaded in OBs was well protected against hostile conditions, evidenced by the highest Cur retention rate and the lowest degradation rate constant. Finally, the in vitro gastrointestinal digestion simulation results showed that the ultrasonic treatment effectively increased the release of FFA, bioaccessibility, and stability of Cur, especially when the ultrasonic power was 200 W. This research offers a new OB-based delivery system to stabilize, deliver, and protect Cur for food processing.

Abstract
To meet the needs of a growing global population (∼10 billion by 2050), there is an urgent demand for sustainable, healthy, delicious, and affordable next-generation foods. Natural polyphenols, which are abundant in edible plants, have emerged as promising food additives due to their potential health benefits. However, incorporating polyphenols into food products presents various challenges, including issues related to crystallization, low water-solubility, limited bioavailability, and chemical instability. pH-driven or pH-shifting approaches have been proposed to incorporate polyphenols into the delivery systems. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether they can be generally used for the encapsulation of polyphenols into next-generation foods. Here, we highlight a post pH-driven (PPD) approach as a viable solution. The PPD approach inherits several advantages, such as simplicity, speed, and environmental friendliness, as it eliminates the need for heat, organic solvents, and complex equipment. Moreover, the PPD approach can be widely applied to different polyphenols and food systems, enhancing its versatility while also potentially contributing to reducing food waste. This review article aims to accelerate the implementation of the PPD approach in the development of polyphenol-fortified next-generation foods by providing a comprehensive understanding of its fundamental principles, encapsulation techniques, and potential applications in plant-based foods.

Abstract
Plant-based milk is particularly suitable for fortification with multiple nutraceuticals because it contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains that can accommodate molecules with different polarities. In this study, we fortified soymilk with three common polyphenols (curcumin, quercetin, and resveratrol) using three pH-driven approaches. We compared the effectiveness of these three different approaches for co-encapsulating polyphenols. The gastrointestinal fate of the polyphenol-fortified soymilks was then studied by passing them through a simulated mouth, stomach, and small intestine, including the stability and bioaccessibility of polyphenols. All three pH-driven approaches were suitable for co-encapsulating multiple polyphenols at a high encapsulation efficiency, especially for the curcumin and resveratrol. The polyphenol-loaded delivery systems exhibited similar changes in particle size, charge, stability, and bioaccessibility as they passed through the mouth, stomach, and intestinal phases. The bioaccessibility of the co-encapsulated polyphenols was much greater than that of crystallized polyphenols dispersed in water. The poor bioaccessibility of the crystallized polyphenols was attributed to their low solubility in water, which made them more difficult to solubilize within mixed micelles. This study underscores the feasibility of pH-driven approaches for encapsulating a variety of polyphenols into the same plant-based delivery system. These fortified plant-based milks may therefore be designed to provide specific health benefits to consumers.

Abstract
Advanced functional two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials offer unique advantages in drug delivery systems for disease treatment. Kaolinite (Kaol), a nanoclay mineral, is a natural 2D nanomaterial because of its layered silicate structure with nanoscale layer spacing. Recently, Kaol nanoclay is used as a carrier for controlled drug release and improved drug dissolution owing to its advantageous properties such as surface charge, strong biocompatibility, and naturally layered structure, making it an essential development direction for nanoclay-based drug carriers. This review outlines the main physicochemical characteristics of Kaol and the modification methods used for its application in biomedicine. The safety and biocompatibility of Kaol are addressed, and details of the application of Kaol as a drug delivery nanomaterial in antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer treatment are discussed. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects of Kaol-based drug delivery nanomaterials in biomedicine are discussed. This review recommends directions for the further development of Kaol nanocarriers by improving their physicochemical properties and expanding the bioapplication range of Kaol.

Abstract
Many bioactive nutraceuticals naturally occurring in food materials possess beneficial biological activities, while their use as functional supplements is subjected to hydrophobicity and crystallinity. Currently, inhibiting crystallization for such nutrients is of immense scientific interest. Here, we exploited diverse structural polyphenols as potential inhibitors for restraining Nobiletin crystallization. Specifically, the crystallization transition process could be influenced by the polyphenol gallol density, Nobiletin supersaturation (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 mM), temperature (4, 10, 15, 25 and 37 ℃), and pH (3.5, 4, 4.5, 5), important factors for regulating the binding attachment and interactions. The optimized samples could be guided by NT100 lied in 4 ℃ at pH 4. Besides, the main assembly driving force was hydrogen-bonding cooperated with π-π stacking and electrostatic interaction, leading to a Nobiletin/TA combination ratio of ∼ 3:1. Our findings proposed an innovative synergistic strategy for inhibiting crystallization and broaden potential applications of polyphenol-based materials in advanced biological fields.

Abstract
This research examined the role of nano curcumin (NC) on growth performances, body composition, and blood parameters of red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) challenged with Aspergillus flavus. Fish (5.0 g ± 0.30) were randomly distributed in four equal groups (20 fish per pond in triplicates) and fed various concentrations of NC fortified with 0 (Control), 40 mg/kg (NC1), 50 mg/kg (NC2), and 60 mg/kg diet (NC3) of nano curcumin. After eight weeks of the feeding trial, the fish were challenged with A. flavus for 15 days, and the cumulative mortality was recorded. Fish fed with different concentrations of NC improved significantly (p < 0.05) the growth performances, feed utilization, and survival rate. There was no significant (p > 0.05) difference between NC2 and NC3 treatments. However, NC3 exhibited higher performances. Fish feed supplemented with NC decreased the mortality rate when challenged with A. flavus. Hence, dietary supplementation of NC enhanced the growth and health status of Oreochromis sp. and protected it from A. flavus infection. This study suggests the optimum inclusion level of NC is a 50–60 mg/kg diet.

Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, its genesis and progression are caused by homeostatic errors, and reactive oxygen species play a major role in promoting aberrant cancer homeostasis. In this scenario, curcumin could be an interesting candidate due to its versatile antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-HIV, and anti-infection properties. Nonetheless, the major problem related to its use is its poor oral bioavailability, which can be overcome by encapsulating it into small particles, such as hydrogel beads containing mesoporous silica. In this work, various systems have been synthesized: starting from mesoporous silica glasses (MGs), cerium-containing MGs have been produced; then, these systems have been loaded with 4 to 6% of curcumin. Finally, various MGs at different compositions have been included in alginate beads. In vitro studies showed that these hybrid materials enable the stabilization and effective delivery of curcumin and that a synergic effect can be achieved if Ce3+/Ce4+ and curcumin are both part of the beads. From swelling tests, it is possible to confirm a controlled curcumin release compartmentalized into the gastrointestinal tract. For all beads obtained, a curcumin release sufficient to achieve the antioxidant threshold has been reached, and a synergic effect of cerium and curcumin is observed. Moreover, from catalase mimetic activity tests, we confirm the well-known catalytic activity of the couple Ce3+/Ce4+. In addition, an extremely good radical scavenging effect of curcumin has been demonstrated. In conclusion, these systems, able to promote an enzymatic-like activity, can be used as drug delivery systems for curcumin-targeted dosing.

Abstract
Curcumin presents interesting biological activities but low chemical stability, so it has been incorporated into different emulsion-based systems in order to increase its bioaccessibility. Many strategies are being investigated to increase the stability of these systems. Among them, the use of polysaccharides has been seen to highly improve the emulsion stability but also to modulate their digestibility and the release of the encapsulated compounds. However, the effect of these polysaccharides on nanoemulsions depends on the presence of other components. Then, this work aimed to study the effect of alginate addition at different concentrations (0-1.5%) on the gastrointestinal fate and stability of curcumin-loaded nanoemulsions formulated using soybean lecithin or whey protein as emulsifiers. Results showed that, in the absence of polysaccharides, whey protein was more effective than lecithin in preventing curcumin degradation during digestion and its use also provided greater lipid digestibility and higher curcumin bioaccessibility. The addition of alginate, especially at ≥1%, greatly prevented curcumin degradation during digestion up to 23% and improved the stability of nanoemulsions over time. However, it reduced lipid digestibility and curcumin bioaccessibility. Our results provide relevant information on the use of alginate on different emulsifier-based nanoemulsions to act as carriers of curcumin.

Abstract
Puerarin is a bioactive flavonoid isolated from Kudzu roots that possesses numerous health benefits. However, its poor bioavailability and existing complex delivery systems with safety issues are challenging tasks for its incorporation into functional foods. Preparing modified-starch-stabilized Pickering emulsions containing microencapsulated puerarin with improved bioaccessibility was the key objective of the present research work. Acid-hydrolyzed high-amylose Pueraria montana starch (PMS) was modified with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) and evaluated as an emulsifier to prepare emulsions. The FTIR, SEM, and XRD results showed that PMS was successfully modified. Furthermore, the emulsification index (EI), mean droplet size, and ζ-potential values showed that modified starch with a higher degree of substitution (DS) enhanced the storage stability of emulsions. Similarly, the retention degree and encapsulation efficiency results of puerarin proved the assumption after storage of 16 d. The Pickering emulsions also helped in the controlled release of microencapsulated puerarin in vitro. The study outcomes proved that Pickering emulsions stabilized with OSA-modified PMS have promising applicability in functional foods as efficient food-grade delivery systems, enhancing oral supplementation and accessibility of puerarin.

Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to design curcumin loaded PLGA nanocapsules for the selective detection of dopamine using fluorescence spectroscopy. In the present work curcumin loaded PLGA nanocapsules were synthesized using a solid-in-oil-in water (s/o/w) emulsion technique. The prepared nanocapsules were coated with a poly(diallyldimethylammonium)chloride (PDDA) polymer to increase the entrapment of curcumin into the core of PLGA polymer. PLGA-Cur-PDDA nanocapsules were characterized using different microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. Unlike free curcumin, the formed CUR-PLGA-PDDA NCs were established as nanoprobes for the selective detection of dopamine molecules. The selectivity and specificity of nanocapsules toward dopamine was achieved by measuring the fluorescence emission spectra of the NCs in the presence of other interference molecules such as tryptophan, melamine, adenine, etc. It was noticed that increasing the concentration of the different molecules had no significant change in the fluorescence signal of the nanocapsules. These results confirm the strong quenching between dopamine and curcumin in the nanocapsules. Hence, this fluorescence emission technique was found to be selective, easy and fast with low cost for the determination of dopamine in a concentration range up to 5 mM with a detection limit equal to 22 nM.

Abstract
Mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes (MAMs) are not only critical for the communication between two organelles but also crucial for cellular processes such as energy metabolism, calcium signaling, and mitochondrial dynamics. The effects of curcumin on jejunal mitochondria, ER, and MAMs in piglets under diquat-induced oxidative stress were assessed. Twenty-four piglets (35 days old, weaned at 21 days, 9.54 ± 0.28 kg, six piglets per group) were used in the study: (1) control group; (2) control + curcumin group; (3) diquat group; and (4) diquat + curcumin group. Curcumin was mixed with the basic diet at 200 mg/kg and fed to piglets. Piglets were administered intraperitoneally of 0.9% saline solution or diquat at 10 mg/kg body weight on the first day. Compared with the diquat group, curcumin improved jejunal morphology and barrier function. Meanwhile, curcumin improved mitochondrial function and ultrastructure, alleviated endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), and inhibited apoptosis induced by diquat. Moreover, curcumin prevented excessive MAM formation and alleviated MAM disorder. In conclusion, dietary curcumin ameliorated jejunal damage and mitochondrial dysfunction, attenuated ERS, and alleviated MAM disorder in oxidative stress piglets induced by diquat.

Abstract
Uptake into intestinal cells and intracellular distribution into metabolically competent organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, are important processes potentially limiting the bioavailability of xenobiotics. The incorporation of curcumin into polysorbate 80 micelles improves its naturally low oral bioavailability in humans. Here, we investigated uptake and time-dependent localization of curcumin in intestinal cells when administered as native or micellar formulation. Differentiated Caco-2 cells were incubated with 200 μmol/L native or micellar curcumin for up to 180 min and cellular uptake was quantified. Intracellular curcumin was detected already after 30 min and did not differ significantly between formulations or over time. Subcellular localization of native and micellar curcumin in Caco-2 cells was studied by density gradient centrifugation. After 30 min, curcumin from both formulations was mainly associated with mitochondria and lysosomes, after 180 min native curcumin was associated with mitochondria and peroxisomes, micellar curcumin with peroxisomes only. Uptake and localization of native and micellar curcumin in intestinal cells do not differ significantly and consequently do not explain differences in bioavailability in humans. The temporary co-localization with lysosomes is in agreement with the previously proposed role of endocytosis in cellular uptake of curcumin and warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR) was encapsulated into yeast cells (YCs) through a pH-driven method with a 5.04-fold increase in loading capacity and a 43.63-fold reduction in incubation time compared to the conventional diffusion method. Optimal encapsulation was obtained when the mass ratio of CUR to YCs was 0.1, and the loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency were 8.07% and 80.66%, respectively. Encapsulation of CUR into YCs was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction further demonstrated that the encapsulated CUR was interacted with mannoprotein and β-glucan of the cell wall network through hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bond in amorphous state. The in vitro bioaccessibility of YCs-loaded CUR was significantly increased by 6.05-fold. The enhanced encapsulation efficiency and rapid encapsulation process proposed in this study could facilitate YCs-based microcarriers to encapsulate bioactive substances with higher bioaccessibility.

Abstract
The over-expressed cellular glutathione (GSH) severely restricts the chemotherapeutic efficacy due to the GSH-induced detoxification of chemical drugs. Herein, how to construct effective drug delivery systems with GSH-consumption property is still a general concern and a major challenge. In this study, the host-guest interactions between water-soluble pillar[6]arene (WP[6]) and chlorambucil-arylboronic acid (Cb-BA) were utilized to construct supramolecular prodrug self-assemblies (SPSAs) with specific stimuli-responsive property. Notably, the BA moiety could not only consume GSH but also rapidly bind curcumin (Cur), which could inhibit the thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) to further reduce the GSH biosynthesis pathway. Benefiting from the functionality of BA-Cur conjugates, the GSH levels could be significantly downregulated, paving a novel way to enhance chemotherapeutic efficacy. In vitro and in vivo investigations demonstrated that this two-pronged GSH-depletion strategy could amplify the cellular oxidative stress and achieve excellent anti-tumor efficacy.

Abstract
A fundamental understanding of the influence of food microstructures on the bioaccessibility of micronutrients is vital for the design of functionally efficient foods. This study investigated the effect of microstructural features of model foods on the bioaccessibility of a bioactive compound - curcumin, using a unique bottom-up approach. In this approach, individual yeast cells with infused curcumin were coated with oppositely charged polyelectrolytes: first in poly(diallyl-dimethylammonium chloride), then in dextran sulfate or alginate, and assembled electrostatically to generate two types of cell clusters. These cell clusters were embedded in an alginate film to form a tissue-like structure. The influence of cell clustering and extracellular matrix on the release of encapsulated curcumin from cell-based microcarriers during simulated digestion was evaluated. Cell clusters that maintained their integrity during in vitro simulated digestion retained up to twice as much curcumin upon addition of the simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) compared to single cells during the first hour of intestinal digestion. Despite significant differences in the release profile, no spatial heterogeneity of curcumin release across a cell cluster was observed with the imaging measurements. Embedding single cells or cell clusters in calcium-crosslinked alginate films resulted in another 20-30% increase in curcumin retention and a prolonged barrier effect for more than 2 hours compared to microstructures without the films. This bottom-up approach of engineering cell-based tissue-like structures proves to be an effective method for investigating the contributions of microstructural properties of food matrices to influencing bioaccessibility of bioactives and guides future development of functional food materials.

Abstract
Phytochemicals are relatively small molecular species found in edible plants that may exhibit a diverse range of techno- and biofunctional attributes. In particular, there has been great interest in the identification, isolation, and utilization of dietary phytochemicals that can be used as natural pigments, antioxidants, or antimicrobials or that may improve human health and wellbeing by preventing chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, and cancer. Relatively high levels of these phytochemicals are often present in the waste streams produced by the food and agriculture industry, such as the peels, stems, roots, or leaves of plants, that are normally discarded or turned into animal foods. From an economic and environmental perspective, it would be advantageous to convert these waste streams into value-added functional ingredients, which is consistent with the creation of a more circular economy. Bioactive phytochemicals can be isolated from agricultural and food waste streams using green extraction methods and then incorporated into plant-based functional foods or biodegradable active packaging materials. The utilization of phytochemicals in the food industry is often challenging. They may chemically degrade in the presence of light, heat, oxygen, and some pH conditions, thereby altering their biological activity. They may have low solubility in aqueous solutions and gastrointestinal fluids, thereby making them difficult to introduce into foods and leading to a low bioavailability. These challenges can sometimes be overcome using nanoencapsulation, which involves trapping the phytochemicals inside tiny food-grade particles. These nanoparticles may be assembled from edible lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and/or surfactants and include nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanoliposomes, and biopolymer nanoparticles. In this manuscript, we review a number of important phytochemicals and nanoencapsulation methods used to improve their efficacy.

Abstract
The awareness of sustainability approaches has focused attention on replacing synthetic emulsifiers with natural alternatives when formulating nanoemulsions. In this context, a comprehensive review of the different types of saponins being successfully used to form and stabilize nanoemulsions is presented, highlighting the most common natural sources and biosynthetic routes. Processes for their extraction and purification are also reviewed altogether with the recent advances for their characterization. Concerning the preparation of the nanoemulsions containing saponins, the focus has been initially given to screening methods, lipid phase used, and production procedures, but their characterization and delivery systems explored are also discussed. Most experimental outcomes showed that the saponins present high performance, but the challenges associated with the saponins' broader application, mainly the standardization for industrial use, are identified. Future perspectives report, among others, the emerging biotechnological processes and the use of byproducts in a circular economy context.

Abstract
Edible packaging has been developed as a biodegradable and non-toxic alternative to traditional petroleum-based food packaging. Biopolymeric edible films, in addition to their passive protective function, may also play a bioactive role as vehicles for bioactive compounds of importance to human health. In recent years, a new generation of edible food packaging has been developed to incorporate ingredients with functional potential that have beneficial effects on consumer health. Curcumin, a bioactive compound widely used as a natural dye obtained from turmeric rhizomes (Curcuma longa L.), has a broad spectrum of beneficial properties for human health, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and other activities. To demonstrate these properties, curcumin has been explored as a bioactive agent for the development of bioactive packaging, which can be referred to as functional packaging and used in food. The aim of this review was to describe the current and potential research on the development of functional-edible-films incorporating curcumin for applications such as food packaging.

Abstract
Double emulsions (DEs) are promising delivery vehicles for the protective and programmed release of bioactive compounds. Herein, DEs with monoglycerides crystallized at the internal- or external interface or oil phase were fabricated. The results suggested that the crystallization site of monoglycerides exerts a significant role in retarding the structural degradation and lipid digestion of DEs by affecting the available contact area of lipase. At the initial stage of intestinal digestion, compared with noncrystalline DEs (82.1%, 3.7 min), the burst release of internal markers in the internal interface crystallized emulsions was decreased by 42.4% and the lag time of free fatty acid (FFA) release was delayed by 5.8 min in the external interface crystallized emulsions. The structural integrity and digestion kinetics of the external interface crystallized DEs were synchronized with the retention time of the interfacial crystals. Therefore, crystallizable emulsifiers exhibit unique and fine regulatory effects on the digestive properties of emulsions.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease is one of the most common degenerative disorders and is characterized by observable motor dysfunction and the loss of dopaminergic neurons. In this study, we fabricated curcumin nanoparticles using human serum albumin as a nanocarrier. Encapsulating curcumin is beneficial to improving its aqueous solubility and bioavailability. The curcumin-loaded HSA nanoparticles were acquired in the particle size and at the zeta potential of 200 nm and −10 mV, respectively. The curcumin-loaded human serum albumin nanoparticles ameliorated Parkinson’s disease features in the C. elegans model, including body movement, basal slowing response, and the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. These results suggest that curcumin nanoparticles have potential as a medicinal nanomaterial for preventing the progression of Parkinson’s disease.

Abstract
Insufficient intake of beneficial food components into the human body is a major issue for many people. Among the strategies proposed to overcome this complication, colloid systems have been proven to offer successful solutions in many cases. The scientific community agrees that the production of colloid delivery systems is a good way to adequately protect and deliver nutritional components. In this review, we present the recent advances on bioactive phenolic compounds delivery mediated by colloid systems. As we are aware that this field is constantly evolving, we have focused our attention on the progress made in recent years in this specific field. To achieve this goal, structural and dynamic aspects of different colloid delivery systems, and the various interactions with two bioactive constituents, are presented and discussed. The choice of the appropriate delivery system for a given molecule depends on whether the drug is incorporated in an aqueous or hydrophobic environment. With this in mind, the aim of this evaluation was focused on two case studies, one representative of hydrophobic phenolic compounds and the other of hydrophilic ones. In particular, hydroxytyrosol was selected as a bioactive phenol with a hydrophilic character, while curcumin was selected as typical representative hydrophobic molecules.

Abstract
Oil-in-water emulsions containing curcumin with different droplet size (small ≈ 0.5 µm, medium ≈ 0.8 µm, large ≈ 3.7 µm and premix ≈ 60 µm) were prepared through premix membrane emulsification using different carrier oils: tributyrin (short chain triglycerides, SCT), medium chain triglycerides (MCT) and corn oil (long chain triglycerides, LCT). An in vitro gastrointestinal model was used to evaluate the impact of oil and droplet size on lipid digestion and curcumin bioaccessibility. Lipid digestion and bioaccessibility decreased with the increase of droplet size for LCT-based emulsions, whereas there was no significant difference for small, medium and large emulsions in SCT and MCT-based emulsions. In addition, encapsulation efficiency played an important role in determining bioaccessibility. Bioaccessibility in MCT premix was significantly lower than that in other size MCT-based emulsions because of its low encapsulation efficiency. The bioaccessibility decreased in the order MCT > SCT > LCT in each size of emulsions..

Abstract
The impact of lutein-loaded nanoemulsions and excipient nanoemulsions mixed with lutein-based dietary supplements (capsules and soft gels) on the bioaccessibility of lutein was explored using a simulated gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The particle size, particle size distribution, ζ-potential, microstructure, lipid digestibility, and lutein bioaccessibility of all the samples were measured after they were exposed to different environments (stomach and small intestine environments) within a simulated GIT. As expected, the bioaccessibility of lutein from the capsules (1.5%) and soft gels (3.2%) was relatively low when they were administered alone. However, the co-administration of excipient nanoemulsions significantly increased the bioaccessibility of lutein from both the capsules (35.2%) and soft gels (28.7%). This phenomenon was attributed to the fast digestion of the small oil droplets in the excipient nanoemulsions and the further formation of mixed micelles to solubilize any lutein molecules released from the supplements. The lutein-loaded nanoemulsions exhibited a much higher lutein bioaccessibility (86.8%) than any of the supplements, which was attributed to the rapid release and solubilization of lutein when the lipid droplets were rapidly and extensively digested within the small intestine. This study indicates that the bioaccessibility of lutein is much higher in nanoemulsion droplets than that in dietary supplements. However, consuming dietary supplements in the presence of nanoemulsion droplets can greatly increase lutein bioavailability. The results of this study have important guiding significance for the design of more effective lutein supplements.

Abstract
The supplementation of plant-based foods and beverages with bioactive agents may be an important strategy for increasing human healthiness. Numerous kinds of colloidal delivery systems have been developed to encapsulate bioactives with the goal of improving their water dispersibility, chemical stability, and bioavailability. In this review, we focus on colloidal delivery systems assembled entirely from plant-based ingredients, such as lipids, proteins, polysaccharides, phospholipids, and surfactants isolated from botanical sources. In particular, the utilization of these ingredients to create plant-based nanoemulsions, nanoliposomes, nanoparticles, and microgels is covered. The utilization of these delivery systems to encapsulate, protect, and release various kinds of bioactives is highlighted, including oil-soluble vitamins (like vitamin D), ω-3 oils, carotenoids (vitamin A precursors), curcuminoids, and polyphenols. The functionality of these delivery systems can be tailored to specific applications by careful selection of ingredients and processing operations, as this enables the composition, size, shape, internal structure, surface chemistry, and electrical characteristics of the colloidal particles to be controlled. The plant-based delivery systems discussed in this article may be useful for introducing active ingredients into the next generation of plant-based foods, meat, seafood, milk, and egg analogs. Nevertheless, there is still a need to systematically compare the functional performance of different delivery systems for specific applications to establish the most appropriate one. In addition, there is a need to test their efficacy at delivering bioavailable forms of bioactives using in vivo studies.

Abstract
In comparison to conventional encapsulation methods of phenolic compounds (PCs), pH-driven method is green, simple and requires low energy consumption. It has a huge potential for industrial applications, and can overcome more effectively the aqueous solubility, stability and bioavailability issues related to PCs by changing pH to induce the encapsulation of PCs. This review aims to shed light on the use of pH-driven method for encapsulating PCs. The preparation steps and principles governing pH-driven method using various carriers and delivery systems are provided. A comparison of pH-driven with other methods is also presented. To circumvent the drawbacks of pH-driven method, improvement strategies are proposed. The essence of pH-driven method relies simultaneously on alkalization and acidification to bind PCs and carriers. It is used for the development of nanoemulsions, liposomes, edible films, nanoparticles, nanogels and functional foods. As a result of pH-driven method, PCs-loaded carriers may have smaller size, high encapsulation efficiency, more sustained-release and good bioavailability, due mainly to effects of pH change on the structure and properties of PCs as well as carriers. Finally, modification of wall materials and type of acidifier are considered as efficient approaches to improve the pH-driven method.

Abstract
Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound present in turmeric with extensive uses in cooking foods and biomedical applications. However, due to its hydrophobic nature, it is poorly soluble in water and its bioavailability is very low on oral administration in organisms. In this study, we investigated the dietary curcumin nanospheres in a weaned piglet model based on the growth, serum biochemistry, proteomics, fecal coliform bacteria, and malodors in the feces of piglets. A total of 135 weaned piglets (Duroc × [Yorkshire × Landrace]) with an average initial body weight of 7.0 ± 1.0 kg (28 ± 1 days of age) were randomly distributed in 9 pens (15 pigs in each pen) fed the dietary curcumin nanospheres (CN) at 0 (control), 0.5 (T1), and 1.0 mL (T2) CN/kg of diet in triplicates for 21 days. At the end of the feeding trial, the results showed piglets fed 1.0 mL CN/kg diet had significantly higher growth performance and feed utilization than control diet (without CN). However, there were no significant differences in growth and feed utilization between piglets fed T1 and T2 diets. Serum glucose, gamma-glutamyl transferase, total bilirubin, amylase, and lipase contents were unaffected in piglets fed the experimental diets. Interestingly, piglets fed T1 and T2 diets showed significantly lower total cholesterol levels than control diet. In serum proteomics, a total of 103 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in the piglets fed control, T1, and T2 diets, of which 14 DEPs were upregulated and 4 DEPs were downregulated. Fecal coliform bacteria and ammonia gas were significantly reduced in piglets fed T1 and T2 diets. Overall, the results indicated dietary supplementation of CN could enhance the growth, feed utilization, and immunity-and reduce fecal pathogenic bacteria as well as ammonia gas emissions-in weaned piglets.

Abstract
SCOPE Different mechanistic approaches to improve the low oral bioavailability of curcumin have been developed, but not yet directly compared in humans. METHODS AND RESULTS In a randomized, double-blind, cross-over trial with 12 healthy adults, the 24 h pharmacokinetics of a single dose of 207 mg curcumin is compared from the following formulations: native, liposomes, with turmeric oils, with adjuvants (including piperine), submicron-particles, phytosomes, γ-cyclodextrin complexes, and micelles. No free, but only conjugated curcumin is detected in all subjects. Compared to native curcumin, a significant increase in the area under the plasma concentration-time curve is observed for micellar curcumin (57-fold) and the curcumin-γ-cyclodextrin complex (30-fold) only. In vitro digestive stability, solubility, and micellization efficiency of micellar curcumin (100%, 80%, and 55%) and curcumin-γ-cyclodextrin complex (73%, 33%, and 23%) are higher compared to all other formulations (<72%, <8%, and <4%). The transport efficiencies through Caco-2 cell monolayers of curcumin from the digested mixed-micellar fractions did not differ significantly. CONCLUSION The improved oral bioavailability of micellar curcumin, and to a lesser extent of γ-cyclodextrin curcumin complexes, appears to be facilitated by increased post-digestive stability and solubility, whereas strategies targeting post-absorptive processes, including inhibition of biotransformation, appear ineffective.

Abstract
Curcumin possesses a plethora of interesting pharmacological effects. Unfortunately, it is also characterized by problematic drug delivery and scarce bioavailability, representing the main problem related to the use of this compound. Poor absorption, fast metabolism, and rapid systemic clearance are the most important factors contributing to low curcumin levels in plasma and tissues. Accordingly, to overcome these issues, numerous strategies have been proposed and are investigated in this article. Due to advances in the drug delivery field, we describe here the most promising strategies for increasing curcumin bioavailability, including the use of adjuvant, complexed/encapsulated curcumin, specific curcumin formulations, and curcumin nanoparticles. We analyze current strategies, already available in the market, and the most advanced technologies that can offer a future perspective for effective curcumin formulations. We focus the attention on the effectiveness of curcumin-based formulations in clinical trials, providing a comprehensive summary. Clinical trial results, employing various delivery methods for curcumin, showed that improved bioavailability corresponds to increased therapeutic efficacy. Furthermore, advances in the field of nanoparticles hold great promise for developing curcumin-based complexes as effective therapeutic agents. Summarizing, suitable delivery methods for this polyphenol will ensure the possibility of using curcumin-derived formulations in clinical practice as preventive and disease-modifying therapeutics.
