However, the beneficial effect of these bioactive compounds is directly dependent on their bioaccessibility and bioavailability, requiring processing techniques that can improve and preserve their biological activities. This work aimed to obtain nanocapsulated extracts from the infusion (ESIN) and decoction (ESDC) of <em>B. forficata</em> Link leaves, by spray drying. The encapsulating agents used were maltodextrin and colloidal silicon dioxide. The nanocapsules were characterized by HPLC-PDA-ESI-IT-MS<em><sup>n</sup></em>, evaluated the bioaccessibility of polyphenols after simulated digestion and their antioxidant activity. Additionally, an extensive physicochemical characterization of the nanocapsulated extracts was carried out and their stability and technological parameters were evaluated. The ESIN and ESDC extracts had yields of 57.3 % and 62.7 %, with average nanocapsules sizes of 0.202 μm and 0.179 μm, low humidity and water activity (<0.5), powder density and proper flow properties (Hausner ratio ≤ 1.25; Carr index 18–19 %). Scanning electron microscopy showed a spherical and amorphous morphology and low viscosity, which may have favored the solubility profile. The phenolic compounds of the nanocapsules degraded after 400 °C, showing high thermal stability. The infrared spectra identified the presence of maltodextrin and phenolic compounds and that there were no reactions between them. Chromatography confirmed the presence of phenolic compounds, mainly flavonols and their O-glycosylated derivatives, as well as carbohydrates, probably maltodextrin. Simulated <em>in vitro</em> digestion showed that polyphenols and flavonoids from ESIN and ESDC nanocapsules were bioaccessible after the gastric phase (49.38 % and 64.17 % of polyphenols and 64.08 % and 36.61 % of flavonoids) and duodenal (52.68 % and 79.06 % of polyphenols and 13.24 % and 139.03 % of flavoids), with a variation from 52.27 % to 70.55 % of the antioxidant activity maintained, by the ORAC method, after gastric digestion and still 25 %, after duodenal. Therefore, the nanoencapsulation of extracts of <em>B. forficata</em> is a viable option for the preservation of their bioactive compounds, making them bioaccessible and with antioxidant activity, which make them suitable for incorporation into various nutraceutical formulations, such as capsules, tablets and sachets.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34477,"journal":{"name":"Food Chemistry Molecular Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666566222000727/pdfft?md5=ea7e040625b3cef91f0d5ae7eafc7dd9&pid=1-s2.0-S2666566222000727-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91590622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on these premises, we aimed to establish the effects of different fats [butter, enriched in saturated fatty acids (SFAs), olive oil, enriched in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), and olive oil supplemented with eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids] on neutrophil navigation from bone marrow to blood in mice.

The results revealed a powerful effect of dietary SFAs in promotion the neutrophil traffic from bone marrow to blood via the CXCL2-CXCR2 axis. Dietary SFAs, but not MUFAs or EPA and DHA, were also associated with increased neutrophil apoptosis and bone marrow inflammation. Similar dietary fatty-acid-induced postprandial neutrophilia was observed in otherwise healthy humans. Therefore, dietary MUFAs might preserve bone marrow health and proper migration of bone marrow neutrophils early in the course of high-fat diets even after the intake of high-fat meals.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34477,"journal":{"name":"Food Chemistry Molecular Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/73/61/main.PMC9467871.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40361471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
