Enhancing supersaturation maintenance of hydrophobic ingredients using nanostructured lipid carriers: The role of solid lipid type and level.

This research investigates the potential of nanostructure lipid carriers (NLCs) to enhance the supersaturation maintenance capacity (SMC) of emodin, focusing on the impacts of different solid lipids, specifically glycerol di-stearate (GDS), and beeswax (BW), and varying solid-liquid lipid ratios. The results demonstrated that GDS-based emulsions (GEs) had lower supersaturation (4.68-11.

Advancements in lipid-based delivery systems for functional foods: a comprehensive review of literature and patent trends.

Lipid-based delivery systems (LDS) have emerged as cornerstone techniques for bolstering the bioavailability of lipophilic bioactive compounds, addressing challenges related to solubility, stability, and absorption. This critical review examined a substantial dataset of 6,907 scientific articles and 3,021 patents from 2001-2023, elucidating the multifaceted evolution of LDS, with a particular focus on its industrial and patent-driven perspective. Notably, there were pronounced surges in functional food patent applications in 2004, 2011, and 2019.

Effects of solid lipid ratio in curcumin loaded emulsions on its gastrointestinal fate: Colloidal stability and mucus absorption efficiency.

Emulsions offer a promising approach for enhancing the bioavailability of lipophilic active compounds when administered orally. Nonetheless, the impact of lipid matrix composition on the efficacy of penetration and bioavailability remains uncertain. This research investigated the effects of solid lipid ratio in emulsions on colloidal stability, mucus permeability, and bioavailability in vivo.

Flexible control of bigel microstructure for enhanced stability and flavor release during oral consumption.

Edible delivery systems such as emulsions and gels that possess flexible oral flavor sensation and comprehensive stability under freeze-thaw processing are highly demanded in the frozen food industry. Bigels were fabricated via emulsification of stearic acid based oleogel with konjac glucomannan (KGM)-gelatin (G) based binary hydrogel. By varing the KGM/G mass ratio (γ) and oleogel/hydrogel volume ratio (φ) of bigels, modulation over the micromorphology, tribology, flavor sensation and cheese stick imitating capacity were achieved.

Formation of phenolic compound-loaded zein films at the air-liquid interface and their controlled release profiles: Effects of the polarity of phenolic compounds.

Polyphenols are frequently utilized antioxidants in active packaging and anti-immflamotary bioactives in tissue engineering. Herein, we introduced a novel method for the rapid (<5 s) fabrication of interfacial self-assembled zein films (ZF) at the air-water interface. Polyphenols with different partition coeffient (Log P), namely, curcumin, resveratrol, and quercetin, were simultaneously loaded during the laterally occurred self-assembly process of zein molecules, respectively.

Recent advances in the extraction, chemical composition, therapeutic potential, and delivery of cardamom phytochemicals.

Dietary phytochemicals including plant-derived alkaloids, carotenoids, organosulfur compounds, phenolics, and phytosterols, are health-promoting bioactive compounds that help in the prevention and mitigation of chronic diseases and microbial infections beyond basic nutrition supply. This article covers recent advances in the extraction, chemical composition, therapeutic potential (nutraceutical and antimicrobial), and delivery of black and green cardamom-derived phytochemicals. In recent years, advance extraction techniques (e.

Characterization and comparison of collagen extracted from the skin of the Nile tilapia by fermentation and chemical pretreatment.

Chemical pretreatment of collagen raw materials is time-consuming and environmentally hazardous. Collagen extraction after fermentation pretreatment has not been reported. We extracted and characterized acid-soluble collagen (ASC) and pepsin-soluble collagen (PSC) from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) skin following fermentation and chemical treatments and comparatively evaluated the feasibility of fermentation.
