Application of purple basil leaf anthocyanins-loaded alginate-carrageenan emulgel beads in gelatin-based jelly candies.

Jelly candies could be considered promising food matrices for the delivery of bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins (ACNs). In this study, gelatin-based jelly candies were fortified with free ACNs-rich purple basil leaf extract (PBLE) and PBLE-loaded emulgel beads. The interaction between free ACNs and gelatin in the jelly matrix resulted in a lower release of ACNs in the mouth (8.

Development of Graphene Oxide-Based Anticancer Drug Combination Functionalized with Folic Acid as Nanocarrier for Targeted Delivery of Methotrexate.

Graphene has become a prominent material in cancer research in recent years. Graphene and its derivatives also attract attention as carriers in drug delivery systems. In this study, we designed a graphene oxide (GO)-based methotrexate (MTX)-loaded and folic acid (FA)-linked drug delivery system.

Emulsion-based edible chitosan film containing propolis extract to extend the shelf life of strawberries.

In this study, propolis was first loaded into a conventional oil-in-water emulsion, which was combined with a chitosan film-forming solution to produce propolis emulsion-loaded film (PEF). Strawberries inoculated with Botrytis cinerea coated with PEF and blank emulsion-loaded films (BEF) were stored for 14 days at 4 °C. Compared to BEF, PEF showed superior mechanical and oxygen barrier properties, as well as antioxidant activities, but higher moisture permeability.

Encapsulation of purple basil leaf extract by electrospraying in double emulsion (W/O/W) filled alginate-carrageenan beads to improve the bioaccessibility of anthocyanins.

The purple basil leaf extract (PBLE) was encapsulated in double emulsion (W/O/W)-loaded beads (emulgel) by electrospraying. The influence of κ-carrageenan (κ-CG) and cross-linking agents (Ca/K) on the properties of alginate (SA) beads were assessed. In emulgel beads, κ-CG inclusion resulted in larger sizes and more distorted shapes, wrinkles on the surface, and lower gel strength.

Encapsulation of Lactobacillus plantarum ELB90 by electrospraying in a double emulsion (W1/O/W2) loaded alginate beads to improve the gastrointestinal survival and thermal stability.

Background: In the present study, the Lactobacillus plantarum ELB90 was encapsulated in double emulsion (W1/O/W2) loaded alginate beads (emulbeads) by electrospraying and compared with emulsion-free control beads. The viability of encapsulated and free cells was assessed by exposing them to thermal processing (65 °C for 30 min and 72 °C for 3 min) and simulated gastrointestinal conditions. The beads were characterized by optical, scanning electron, fluorescence, and confocal laser scanning microscopy, as well as Fourier transform infrared and gel strength analysis.

A novel approach to production of Chlorella protothecoides oil-loaded nanoparticles via electrospraying method: Modeling of critical parameters for particle sizing.

Bioactive compounds in algae have chain rings that protect the tissue from chemical damage and disease symptoms. In addition, algal bioactive agents have the ability to stimulate the immune system, protective and therapeutic effects against many diseases, including various types of cancers, coronary heart disease, premature aging, and arthritis. These bioactive compounds also have antioxidant, anticoagulant, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Determination of textural deterioration in fish meat processed with electrospun nanofibers.

Nano-applications are named as one of the novel methods, which provide many advantages like a larger contact area on the surface of fish fillets with less material. The goal of the study was to reveal the textural profile changes correlated with TPB growth of fish fillets coated with nanofibers having 2.47 ± 0.
