Exploring the effect of bile salts on the properties of emulsion carriers containing hydrophobic bioactive compounds is particularly critical to understanding the stability and bioavailability of these hydrophobic bioactive compounds in the digestive process. In this study, the effects of bile salts on the stability and digestive characteristics of the ursolic acid (UA) self-stabilized water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion were investigated via static and dynamic (with or without enzyme) in vitro simulated digestive systems. The results showed that under the static system, the basic conditions had less interference, while the bile salts had a significant effect on the appearance and microstructure of the emulsion. The primary mechanism of emulsion instability is hydrophobic binding and depletion flocculation. Under the dynamic condition, it was found that the low concentrations of bile salts can promote the release amount and the rate of free fatty acids via displacement, while high concentrations of bile salts inhibit the decomposition of lipid, which may be related to the secondary coverage formed at the interface by the bile salts. These findings provide a theoretical basis for understanding the digestive behavior of the UA emulsion and its interaction with bile salts, which are conducive to developing and designing new emulsions to improve the bioaccessibility of UA.

Background: Bile acids (BA) are steroids regulating nutrient absorption, energy metabolism, and mitochondrial function, and serve as important signaling molecules with a role in the gut-brain axis. The composition of BAs in humans changes with diet type and health status, which is well documented with a few known bile acids. In this study, we leveraged a new BA-specific spectral library curated in the Dorrestein lab at UCSD to expand the pool of detected BAs in Alzheimer-related LC-MS/MS datasets and provide links to dietary profiles and AD markers.

Bile salts (BS) are naturally occurring steroidal biosurfactants. The ease of functionalization of BSs has boosted their use as inexpensive building blocks for the fabrication of a broad set of value-added soft functional materials. In the present work, three fluorescent bile acid (FBA) derivatives have been synthesized by conjugating anthracene at the side chain of lithocholic acid, deoxycholic acid, and cholic acid to understand the effect of the nature of the steroid nucleus on their physicochemical properties.

Foodborne bacterial enteritis is a common clinical disease, and its incidence has risen globally. To screen for functional Bacillus strains with anti-inflammatory properties, tolerance to acid and bile salts, and antagonism against Salmonella, 22 strains of Bacillus were employed as candidate strains in this study. An inflammatory cell model was established using J774-Dual NF-κB/IRF reporter macrophages to identify anti-inflammatory Bacillus.
