Abstract
Background
Bioactive components (BCs) have been used in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields. Due to chemical instability, low solubility and low bioavailability, it is necessary to design the edible carriers for their encapsulation, protection and delivery. Proteins assemble to form various supramolecular structures as potential carriers of BCs. With the development of food science, it puts forward higher requirements for structural design and functional customization of edible carriers. In order to provide multiple health benefits, synergistic bioactivity and improved stability, these provide motivation to simultaneously encapsulate multiple BCs in a carrier.
Scope and approach
This review introduces the necessary for simultaneous encapsulation of multiple BCs in a carrier and the co-encapsulation of BCs with similar solubility and highlights the separated co-encapsulation of multiple BCs with different solubility using protein assemblies, including their partition, protection and delivery.
Key findings and conclusions
Protein-based assemblies can be used for the co-encapsulation of multiple BCs. The encapsulation of multiple BCs with similar solubility resembles that of a single one at high content to some extent. The co-encapsulation of BCs with different solubility could be achieved using the assemblies with different domains, such as emulsion gels, oil-in-water emulsions, water-in-oil-water emulsions. Furthermore, BCs could also be separately co-encapsulated using molecular complexes and nano/micro-particles with homogeneous, core-shell and hollow structures. It would be advantageous to co-encapsulate, protect and delivery BCs by designing protein-based carriers with novel structure, clarifying mass transfer of BCs in a carrier, and considering the interaction of proteins with BCs or their decomposition products.
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.
