Ascorbyl palmitate can interact with amylose to form amylose-lipid complexes. This study determined the effects of ascorbyl palmitate (0, 15 and 50mg/g starch) on the pasting properties of maize starch, amount of ascorbyl palmitate bound in the starch paste, release of ascorbyl palmitate after enzymatic hydrolysis and its antioxidant activity. Pasting of starch with ascorbyl palmitate at 91°C for 120min resulted in the formation of type II amylose-lipid complexes as shown by DSC melting enthalpies. About 93% and 66% of ascorbyl palmitate were encapsulated when 15mg and 50mg was respectively added to maize starch during pasting. Less than 50% of the bound ascorbyl palmitate was released during pancreatic α-amylase hydrolysis suggesting that some of the complexes were not hydrolysed to release the ligand. The antioxidant activities of the ascorbyl palmitate correlated (R=0.937) to the amount released during enzymatic hydrolysis. It can be concluded that pasting of maize starch can be used to encapsulate ascorbyl palmitate by possibly forming amylose-lipid complexes.

Background: The WHO states that antivenom is the only safe and effective treatment to neutralize snake venom. Snakebite antivenom typically involves horse hyperimmunization with crude venom and Freund's adjuvant.
Methods: In the current work, we analyzed the ascorbyl palmitate liquid crystal structure with snake protein or PLA2, the carrier charge capacity, and we evaluated the immune response induced by the enzyme P9a(Cdt-PLA2) formulated in a nanostructure using CpG-ODN, determining the titer of IgG antibodies.

The development of biodegradable active packaging is a relevant topic demanding the development of film properties, biodegradability, and the potential to preserve food quality. This study aimed to develop thermoplastic starch (TPS) blended with polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) films via blown-film extrusion containing ascorbyl palmitate (AP) and sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP) as antioxidants. The morphology, mechanism, and barrier and antioxidant properties of the films were analyzed to determine the presence of AP, SAP, and their interaction effect on the film properties.

The purpose of this work was to re-evaluate the polar paradox theory (PPT) that explains the relationships between the efficacy of antioxidants, their polarity, and their environments. In this study, ascorbic acid (AA), ascorbyl palmitate (AP), gallic acid (GA), gallyl palmitate (GP), Trolox (TR), -tocopherol (TO), resveratrol (R), and resveratryl palmitate (RP) were employed to assess conjugated dienoic acid (CDA), the -anisidine value (-AV), headspace oxygen content, and hexanal formation in a bulk oil system. TR, TO, R, and RP showed better antioxidant activities in CDA and -AV and higher headspace oxygen content than AA, AP, GA, and GP.

Nanofiber-based hydrogel delivery systems have recently shown great potential in biomedical applications, specifically due to their high surface-to-volume ratio of ultra-fine nanofibers and their ability to carry low solubility drugs. Herein, we introduce a visible light-triggered in situ-gelling drug vehicle (GAP Gel) composed of ascorbyl palmitate (AP) nanofibers and gelatin methacryloyl polymer. AP nanofibers form self-assembled structures through intermolecular interactions with a hydrophobic drug-loading core.

Current topical formulations containing vitamin C face limitations in therapeutic effectiveness due to the skin's selective properties that impede drug deposition. Consequently, the widespread use of toxic and irritating chemical permeation enhancers is common. Hereby, we investigated enzymatically derived fatty acid ascorbyl esters (FAAEs) obtained using natural oils for their skin permeation properties using the Strat-M® skin model in a Franz cell diffusion study.
