Emulsion gels with dual antioxidant and antibacterial functions for optimized β-carotene Delivery: Utilizing phenolic acid-modified agarose
Agarose, when categorized solely by gel strength, proves insufficient in catering to the diverse needs of various applications. Structural modifications offer a promising avenue to bolster its functional properties, thereby fostering economic growth within the agar industry chain. This study focuses on making agarose as an active delivery material with specific functions. Agarose (Na-Ag) was modified with phenolic acid (p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid) to produce agarose derivatives. Structural characterization confirmed the successful grafting of phenolic acids onto agarose through esterification reactions at the C-6 hydroxyl position, enhancing its amphiphilic properties. Emulsifying activity increased from 6.73 for Na-Ag to 23.19 for p-coumaric acid-modified agarose (Pa-Ag), with similar improvements noted for caffeic acid (Ca-Ag) and ferulic acid (Fa-Ag) variants. Emulsion stability was visually and microscopically confirmed, showing uniform droplet distribution in modified agaroses. Erythrocyte hemolysis assay has good biocompatibility and safety. The study concludes that phenolic acid modifications significantly enhance the emulsifying properties and β-carotene encapsulation of agarose, suggesting a promising approach for improving the delivery and stability of lipophilic compounds in various industries.
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.
