In this work, the biological properties of fractionated Riceberry bran protein hydrolysate obtained by ultrafiltration (URBPH) were evaluated and the possibility of using cluster dextrin to produce hydrolysate powder by spray-drying was investigated. Fractionation into peptides < 3 kDa was observed to improve antioxidant activity. URBPH < 3 kDa was then freeze-dried (FD-URBPH) and spray-dried (SD-URBPH) at different inlet air temperatures of 100-160 °C. The water solubility and antioxidant activity of FD-URBPH were higher than those of SD-URBPH. Nevertheless, encapsulation of hydrolysate with 10% cluster dextrin and an inlet temperature of 120 °C was also successful in maintaining protein qualities, which showed high 2,2'-azino-bis 3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic (ABTS) scavenging activity (89.14%) and water solubility index (92.49%) and low water activity (a = 0.53). Moreover, encapsulation preserved the antioxidant activity of peptides during gastrointestinal digestion better than the free form. URBPH and its spray-dried microcapsules could be used as bioactive ingredients in functional drinks or foods.

We investigated the transglycosylation reaction of two types of oligosaccharide acceptors, i.e., β-cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives 1 and 2 conjugated with multiple glucose (Glc) units, catalyzed by endo-β-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase from Mucor hiemalis (Endo-M) using the oligosaccharide donor sialoglycopeptide (SGP).

Thiophenol (PhSH) is an important industrial intermediate but displays significant toxicity towards environmental and biological systems. Here, we introduce a supramolecular system based on β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) as a ratiometric fluorescence probe to discriminate PhSH in environmental water samples, cells, and in vivo. In aqueous solutions, BODIPY shows extremely weak fluorescence intensity due to its aggregation into nanometer-sized clusters, which prevents its interaction with thiols.

Most nonconventional luminogens enjoy good water solubility and biocompatibility, showing unique application prospects in fields like biological imaging. Although clustering-triggered emission (CTE) mechanisms have been proposed to explain such emissions, the have not been thoroughly elucidated, which limits their development and application. Here, the photoluminescence properties of carboxymethyl β-cyclodextrin (CM-β-CD) aqueous solution are utilized to further investigate the effects of changes in concentration, in order to elucidate the emission mechanism through cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), molecular interaction analysis, and theoretical calculation.

Red fluorescent hydrogels possessing injectable and self-healing properties have widespread potential in biomedical field. It is still a challenge to achieve a biomacromolecules based dynamic hydrogels simultaneously combining with excellent red fluorescence, good mechanical properties, and biocompatibility. Here we first explore hydrophilic inclusion complex of (R-CDs@α-CD) derived from hydrophobic red fluorescent carbon dots (R-CDs) and α-cyclodextrin (α-CD), and then achieved a red fluorescent and dynamic polysaccharide R-CDs@α-CD/CEC-l-OSA hydrogel.
