Ritonavir, a poorly water-soluble crystalline antiviral medication, was combined with casein in aqueous ethanol solutions ranging from 0 to 60 % v/v ethanol and 60°C. Solubility tests revealed a sharp increase in ritonavir solubility in 50% ethanol, highlighting that reduced solvent polarity facilitates drug dispersion. After solvent removal, thermal analysis confirmed ritonavir-casein interaction leading to the formation of ritonavir amorphous dispersions. Microstructural analysis revealed a significant decrease in crystalline peaks and spectral shifts in the amide regions, particularly in ethanol-treated samples, indicating changes in the local microenvironment and noncovalent molecular associations of ritonavir within the casein matrix. Zeta potential measurements showed a consistent increase in negative surface charge (–45 mV to –60 mV) with increasing ethanol content during complex fabrication, indicating changes in surface charge characteristics and electrostatic dispersion stability.

The incorporation of carob flours with different roasting degrees and milling sizes had a significant impact on fiber, D-pinitol, and phenolic content, as well as on antioxidant activity and α-glucosidase inhibitory capacity.

In vitro digestion assays of the gummies, compared with sugar solutions containing equivalent amounts of carob, revealed that polyphenols were more stable under both gastric and intestinal conditions, whereas D-pinitol exhibited a delayed but more sustained release. These findings would indicate that the protective and modulating effects observed are mainly attributed to the interactions between carob components and the gelatin matrix, which enhance gastrointestinal stability and enable controlled bioactive delivery.

The use of hydrocolloids in yogurt still faces many unanswered questions despite tremendous progress in our understanding of interactions, especially with regard to the mechanisms underlying processing characteristics and nutritional advantages. Cutting-edge technologies like 3D printing have exciting prospects for determining the roles of hydrocolloids, streamlining manufacturing procedures, and improving their sensory and health qualities. Besides, since the qualities of yogurt are related to the gel formation mechanism, it requires additional consideration. Because they are crucial to the development of yogurt structure and texture, interactions between biopolymers/hydrocolloids are critical when designing yogurt formulations. Furthermore, products that comprise non-interacting biopolymers must be carefully regulated since they have the potential to cause segregative phase separation, which might have a significant impact on the final matrix’s stability and quality. The molecular specifics of the interactions between polysaccharides and casein micelles—which are crucial in giving yogurt products their structure—will be the focus of this review. The potential for generating new microstructures through the interaction or incompatibility of milk proteins with various polysaccharides will be evaluated. Furthermore, we provide an overview of the typical set-type yogurt gel forming process in this article. To comprehend their influence on gel formation and behaviour, the primary ingredients—including biopolymers—as well as their interactions (protein-polysaccharide interaction mechanisms) within the gel are explored. This review examines the interaction mechanisms, such as electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and related structural changes, offering new opportunities and theoretical guidance for effectively enhancing the gel properties of yogurt as an important dairy product.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12385,"journal":{"name":"Food Hydrocolloids for Health","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100292"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148177857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
