Delivery systems designed to enhance stability and suitability of lipophilic bioactive compounds in food processing: A review.

Lipophilic compounds, such as flavors, fat-soluble vitamins, and hydrophobic nutrients possess vital properties including antioxidant effects, functional attributes, and nutritional value that can improve human health. However, their susceptibility to environmental factors including heat, pH changes, and ionic strength encountered during food processing poses significant challenges. To address these issues, diverse bioactive delivery systems have been developed.

Physicochemical characterization and environmental stability of a curcumin-loaded Pickering nanoemulsion using a pea protein isolate-dextran conjugate via the Maillard reaction.

This study investigated pea protein isolate (PPI) and dextran (DX) conjugates produced via the Maillard reaction as Pickering stabilizers for various food applications. The results found that as heating time increased (0-5 h), the grafting degree heightened. The PPI-DX conjugate exhibited a rough porous surface in contrast to native PPI, accompanied by changes in molecular weight and secondary structure.

Determination of vitamin K encapsulated into lipid nanocarriers by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction combined with liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-tandem mass spectrometry.

Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction was used in conjunction with liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-tandem mass spectrometry to quantitate vitamins K1 and K2 in vitamin-fortified emulsions, and vital microextraction parameters were optimized using response surface methodology coupled with Box-Behnken design. Under optimal microextraction conditions, highly linear (  > .999) calibration curves were obtained for both vitamins in a broad concentration range (1-1000 μg/L), and vitamin recoveries exceeded 90%.

Improvement of structural, physicochemical, and rheological properties of porcine myofibrillar proteins by high-intensity ultrasound treatment for application as Pickering stabilizers.

This study aimed to evaluate the potential of time-dependent (0, 15, 30, 60, 120 min) treatment of porcine-derived myofibrillar proteins (MPs) with high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) for utilizing them as a Pickering stabilizer and decipher the underlying mechanism by which HIU treatment increases the emulsification and dispersion stability of MPs. To accomplish this, we analyzed the structural, physicochemical, and rheological properties of the HIU-treated MPs. Myosin heavy chain and actin were observed to be denatured, and the particle size of MPs decreased from 3,342.

Novel QuEChERS-ultra-performance liquid chromatography-atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous determination of vitamin D and vitamin K in vitamin-fortified nanoemulsions.

Nanoemulsion is a new vehicle for food fortification. In this study, a simple and reliable method for the simultaneous analysis of vitamins D, D, K, and K in vitamin-fortified nanoemulsions was developed using QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) extraction and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometry techniques. Response surface methodology was employed to optimize the extraction parameters.

Cholecalciferol- and α-tocopherol-loaded walnut oil emulsions stabilized by whey protein isolate and soy lecithin for food applications.

Background: To overcome the limitations in the use of protein as an emulsifier, soy lecithin, a natural surfactant, was used along with whey protein isolate (WPI) to produce o/w emulsions containing cholecalciferol and α-tocopherol. The physical stability of the emulsions prepared with WPI and varying concentrations of lecithin (0, 1, 2, and 3% w/w) was measured in different heat, pH, and ionic-strength food environmental conditions.

Results: All emulsions were shown to be less than 250 nm in size and less than 0.

We investigated the physicochemical and rheological properties of black pudding prepared with duck blood using various combinations of cereal fiber sources: oat, buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth, and sorghum. The processing yield of black pudding made with duck blood and the cereals was higher than that of the control (without cereals) in all cases (P < 0.05).

Physiochemical properties of reduced-fat duck meat emulsion systems: effects of preemulsification with vegetable oils and duck skin.

The effects of commercial vegetable oils and duck skin on quality characteristics of a reduced-fat duck meat emulsion were examined. The cooking loss, emulsion stability, and hardness were lower for emulsions preemulsified with vegetable oils and duck skin (P < 0.05) than for the control.

Physical and turbidimetric properties of cholecalciferol- and menaquinone-loaded lipid nanocarriers emulsified with polysorbate 80 and soy lecithin.

The present study aimed to investigate the physical and turbidimetric properties of cholecalciferol- and menaquinone-loaded lipid nanocarriers emulsified with different ratios of polysorbate 80 and soy lecithin.

Effect of Hydrocolloids on Rheological Properties and Printability of Vegetable Inks for 3D Food Printing.

In food ink systems in which the particles are dispersed in a hydrocolloid matrix, the source of the particles and the particle content are the main factors affecting the printability and rheological properties of the system. In this study, different contents (10% and 30% w/w) of vegetable (broccoli, spinach, or carrot) powders were added to hydrocolloid matrices with different hydration properties, and their influence on the printability and rheological properties was investigated. At low powder contents (10%), slight differences in the printability and rheological values were observed between the different vegetable sources in all hydrocolloids.

Influence of Food with High Moisture Content on Oxygen Barrier Property of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)/Vermiculite Nanocomposite Coated Multilayer Packaging Film.

Unlabelled: This study investigates the potential complications in applying nanoclay-based waterborne coating to packaging films for food with high moisture content. Multilayer packaging films were prepared by dry laminating commercially available polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/vermiculite nanocomposite coating films and linear low-density polyethylene film, and the changes in oxygen barrier properties were investigated according to different relative humidity using 3 types of food simulants. When the relative humidity was above 60%, the oxygen permeability increased sharply, but this was reversible.
