Abstract
Protein-based delivery systems tend to degrade too quickly in the gastrointestinal tract. Applying polysaccharide-based surface coatings on protein carriers is an effective strategy to prevent interference from gastric acid and proteases during the digestive process. This study prepared gastrointestinal pH-responsive bovine serum albumin (BSA)-myristic acid (MA) carriers using sodium alginate (SA)-based surface coating technology to improve the digestive properties and intestinal mucus penetration of limonin (LM). The results showed that ultrasonication caused uniform hydrophilic BSA and MA particle formation in optimal conditions. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations confirmed that SA adhered to the BSA-MA particle surfaces via electrostatic interaction at pH 4, causing the controlled gastrointestinal release of the self-assembled BSA-MA complexes. The subsequent SA-BSA-MA complexes displayed an LM encapsulation yield (EY) of >84%. In vitro, simulated gastrointestinal digestion indicated that compared with free LM, the SA-BSA-MA particles significantly increased the intestinal LM retention rate, bioaccessibility, and micellization rate by 45.49%, 155.48%, and 102.14%, respectively. The results of the artificial intestinal mucus experiments demonstrated that the trans-intestinal mucus barrier capacity of SA-BSA-MA particle-loaded LM was significantly enhanced. Its apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) (6.53 × 10−6 cm/s for free LM) and intestinal mucus permeability (17.56% for free LM) increased substantially to 14.22 × 10−6 cm/s and 38.22%. This study presents a gastrointestinal pH-responsive delivery system that effectively improves the ability of hydrophobic nutrients to cross the intestinal mucus barrier.
期刊介绍:
Food Hydrocolloids publishes original and innovative research focused on the characterization, functional properties, and applications of hydrocolloid materials used in food products. These hydrocolloids, defined as polysaccharides and proteins of commercial importance, are added to control aspects such as texture, stability, rheology, and sensory properties. The research's primary emphasis should be on the hydrocolloids themselves, with thorough descriptions of their source, nature, and physicochemical characteristics. Manuscripts are expected to clearly outline specific aims and objectives, include a fundamental discussion of research findings at the molecular level, and address the significance of the results. Studies on hydrocolloids in complex formulations should concentrate on their overall properties and mechanisms of action, while simple formulation development studies may not be considered for publication.
The main areas of interest are:
-Chemical and physicochemical characterisation
Thermal properties including glass transitions and conformational changes-
Rheological properties including viscosity, viscoelastic properties and gelation behaviour-
The influence on organoleptic properties-
Interfacial properties including stabilisation of dispersions, emulsions and foams-
Film forming properties with application to edible films and active packaging-
Encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds-
The influence on health including their role as dietary fibre-
Manipulation of hydrocolloid structure and functionality through chemical, biochemical and physical processes-
New hydrocolloids and hydrocolloid sources of commercial potential.
The Journal also publishes Review articles that provide an overview of the latest developments in topics of specific interest to researchers in this field of activity.
