Soy lipophilic protein nanoparticles (LPP), which present a novel delivery vehicle for conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), were fabricated by ultrasonication of the soy lipophilic protein (LP), which exhibits unique characteristics including a high loading capacity, oxidation protection and a sustained releasing profile in vitro for CLA. The CLA-loaded LPP exhibited a mean diameter of 170 ± 0.63 nm and a loading capacity of 26.3 ± 0.40% (w/w). A coating of sodium caseinate (SC) on the surface improved the colloidal stability of the CLA-loaded LPP. This encapsulation conferred protection against the oxidation of CLA, by which the head space-oxygen consumption and hydrogen peroxide value were obviously decreased in comparison with the SC-encapsulated CLA and CLA alone. The delivery system enables a sustained releasing profile of CLA in a simulated gastrointestinal tract (GIT). These findings illustrate that the LPP could act as an effective delivery device for CLA, which could provide oxidation stability and a sustained release property.

Maternal dietary fat intake during pregnancy and lactation may influence the bioavailability of essential lipophilic nutrients, such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), that are important for both the mother and her child's development. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different maternal fat diets on fat absorption and pup brain development by analyzing gene expression. Rats were fed diets with different lipid matrices during pregnancy and lactation: diet A, mono and diglycerides (MDG) + soy lecithin phospholipids (PL); diet B, MDG + soy lecithin PL + milk-derived PL; and a control diet.

Antibacterial efficacy of berry juices against Bacillus cereus relative to their phytochemical composition and antioxidant properties.

Sci Rep

November 2024

Institute of Food Technology and Analysis, Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Sciences, Lodz University of Technology, 2/22 Bohdana Stefanowskiego, 90-537, Lodz, Poland.

Article Synopsis
  • The research focuses on using natural preservatives from berry juices to keep minimally processed foods safe and stable.
  • The study tested juices from four berry species against the food pathogen Bacillus cereus, finding that chokeberry had the strongest antibacterial effect, while elderberry showed no inhibition.
  • It suggests that the juice's effectiveness is linked to its antioxidant properties rather than just acidity or anthocyanin levels, enhancing our understanding of using berry extracts as biopreservatives.

Article Synopsis
  • Niosomes, a type of vesicular nanocarrier, are being researched for their potential in controlled drug delivery, offering advantages over liposomes like improved stability and ease of production.
  • This study developed a specific niosomal formulation for the drug temozolomide (TMZ), using a method that tested different lipid compositions to optimize drug loading and release.
  • The results showed that the optimized niosomes achieved a 73.23% drug entrapment efficiency and sustained release for 24 hours, while liposomes released their drug much faster, highlighting the superior stability of niosomes.

Coenzyme Q10-loaded microcapsules stabilized by glyceryl monostearate and soy protein isolates-flaxseed gum: Characterization, in vitro release and digestive behavior.

Int J Biol Macromol

This study aimed to stabilize microcapsules with core materials of glyceryl monostearate (GMS) and octyl and decyl glycerate, and wall materials of soy protein isolates (SPI) and flaxseed gum (FG) by complex coacervation method to overcome the drawbacks of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). It was demonstrated by the study that the obtained microcapsules were irregular aggregates. Differential scanning calorimetry and x-ray diffraction patterns indicated that CoQ10 was entrapped inside the disordered semisolid cores of microcapsules.

In disease treatment, maintaining therapeutic drug concentrations often requires multiple doses. Lipid/polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LPHNPs) offer a promising solution by facilitating sustained drug delivery within therapeutic ranges. Here, we synthesized poly(lactic--glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles coated with soy lecithin using nanoprecipitation and self-assembly techniques.
