Article Abstract

In this study, the stabilization mechanism and digestion behavior of Pickering emulsion prepared by a combination of chitosan (CS) and TEMPO-oxidized hyaluronic acid (HA) were investigated. Conductometric titration was used to determine the degree of oxidation and carboxylate content of TEMPO-oxidized HA. The results showed that the degree of oxidation increased proportionally with increasing oxidation time, and the electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions with CS were significantly enhanced. The results of FTIR and TEM showed the formation of CS/oxidized HA nanoparticles (CS/oxidized-HANPs). In addition, the contact angle of CS/oxidized-HANPs is closed to 77°, thereby providing higher desorption energy at the interface. Rheological results showed that the Pickering emulsion exhibited a gel-like network structure and higher viscosity. In vitro digestion results suggested that the quercetin (Que) bioaccessibility of the CS/oxidation HANps-stabilized Pickering emulsion with an oxidation time of 20 min was better than that of the conventional emulsion prepared with CS alone. The research is expected to develop novel polysaccharide-based Pickering emulsion delivery systems for functional compounds.

Three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology enables the flexible fabrication of integrated monolithic microextraction chips for high-throughput sample pretreatment. Meanwhile, the extraction performance of 3DP-based channels is largely limited by printer resolution and the commercially available printing materials. In this work, a 3DP array monolithic microextraction chip (AMC) was fabricated by integrating 26-array helical monolithic microextraction channels for sample pretreatment and 52-array gas valves for fluid control.

Enhancing hydrophobic bioactives' bioaccessibility remains challenging in functional foods due to instability and insufficient controlled-release ability in conventional protein-polysaccharide carriers. We pioneer a new interaction model by covalently grafting corn stover cellulose nanofibers (CNF) with Zein using N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethyl carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), creating conjugates with gradient grafting degrees (CNF/Zein 0.5, CNF/Zein 1, and CNF/Zein 2).

In this study, we explored the application of lactoferrin-(-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (LF-EGCG) complex with rapeseed, soybean, walnut, peanut and sesame oil for the preparation of Pickering emulsions and its spray-dried microcapsules. Spectroscopy and molecular docking revealed that LF-EGCG binds via hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces. Structural analysis demonstrated that 0.

Pickering emulsions (PEs), where water-in-oil (w/o) droplets are stabilized by nanoparticles (NPs), offer a promising platform for biocatalysis by providing a large interfacial area crucial for efficient substrate conversion. While several lipase catalyzed reactions in PEs have been demonstrated, the exact interfacial structure is unknown. This study focuses on the interfacial network formed by NPs and lipase (CRL) at the octanol/water-interface by varying pH and NP charge.

Cultivating fat for edible tissue presents significant challenges, due to the high costs associated with growth and differentiation factors, alongside the poor viability of adipocytes resulting from cell clustering. Additionally, there is a gap in research regarding the rapid accumulation of fats within cells. To that end, this study presents the development of a biodegradable soy protein colloidosome system for an efficient application: direct delivery of oils into bovine satellite cells, enabling rapid intracellular fat accumulation without the need for adipogenic differentiation.
