Article Abstract
Understanding the food protein binding to bioactive compounds is of utmost importance for the development of efficient protein-based delivery systems. The binding of lutein to sodium caseinate (NaCas) or native casein micelle (PPCN) was investigated at pH 7 to evaluate the effect of casein supramolecular structures on the interaction. Fluorescence quenching, UV-vis spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering were carried out. Under the medium conditions of interaction analysis (DMSO-water and ethanol-water), lutein exists as H-type aggregates. The investigation of lutein/casein interaction showed a predominantly static mechanism of fluorescence quenching and the presence of two fluorophore populations on NaCas and PPCN, but only one accessible to lutein. Moreover, the Scatchard plot indicated that lutein interacted with both caseins in one binding site. The interaction of lutein with caseins occurred with binding constant K of 10 M, regardless of casein supramolecular structure.

Bacterial infections lead to delayed wound healing and pose a significant threat to health. The current antimicrobial treatments face significant challenges, including bacterial resistance, poor biofilm penetration, and suboptimal therapeutic efficacy. To address these limitations, a Supramolecular hydrogel Microneedle (MN) is designed to achieve a three-in-one (photothermal effect/ HS gas/phage) effect for infected wound treatment.

We describe here two trilobal dyes called aniline blue (AB) and light green SF yellowish (LGSF) for their supramolecular recognition with casein, the principal protein in milk. The trilobal dyes bind con-covalently with casein as demonstrated by various approaches including docking and isothermal titration calorimetry. The supramolecular interaction triggers fluorescence enhancement.

Dietary protein reduces energy intake in following meals by signaling directly or indirectly to the brain. We recently observed differences in plasma amino acid kinetics and intra-gastric behavior between micellar casein (MC) and sodium caseinate (SC) in pigs, two factors that impact food intake. Our objective was to clarify whether the supramolecular structure of casein, given as a preload to pigs, impacts on subsequent food intake.

Skin wound treatments require efficient and targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to promote fast tissue regeneration and prevent infections. Hydrogels are one of the most popular products in the wound care market, although their use as medicated wound dressings remains a massive challenge when hydrophobic drugs are needed due to the hydrophilic nature of these soft materials. In this study, we developed innovative, dynamic hydrogels based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), pyrogallol as a hydrogen bond crosslinker, and casein micelles as hydrophobic reservoirs of silver sulfadiazine (SSD) for enzyme-activated smart delivery at wound sites.

Lactoferrin, lysozyme, and gelatin are three common basic proteins known for their ability to interact with acidic proteins (lactoglobulin, ovalbumin, casein, etc.) and form various supramolecular structures. Their basic nature makes them highly promising for interaction with other acidic proteins to form heteroprotein complex coacervation (HPCC) with a wide range of applications.
