The stability, physical properties, and bioactivity of the β-Lg-EGCG complexes were tested. Native β-Lg-EGCG complexes showed comparable stability and binding efficacy (EGCG/β-Lg molar ratio of 1:1) to heated β-Lg nanoparticles (1% and 5% protein w/w). The sizes of heated and desolvated β-Lg nanoparticles were comparable, but the latter showed the highest binding affinity for EGCG. The presence of EGCG complexed with β-Lg did not affect the interfacial tension of the protein when tested at the soy oil-water interface but caused a decrease in dilational elasticity. All β-Lg complexes (native, heated, or desolvated) showed a decrease in cellular proliferation similar to that of free ECGC. In summary, protein-EGCG complexes did not alter the bioefficacy of EGCG and contributed to increased stability with storage, demonstrating the potential benefits of nanoencapsulation.

In spite of their widespread use in cosmetics and pharmaceutics, their application in food systems is still limited. The objective of this study was to determine the ability of liposomal dispersions prepared from milk phospholipids using high-pressure homogenization to encapsulate and deliver a tea polyphenol extract. It was hypothesized that the encapsulation may improve the delivery of the biomolecules to an intestinal cell model. In addition to their physical characterization, the influence of encapsulated tea polyphenols on the viability of adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29 was compared to that of free polyphenols. Encapsulated polyphenols caused a lower extent of growth inhibition compared to free polyphenols, suggesting that liposomes act as loaded reservoirs that slowly release the bioactive compound in the medium. Liposomes were also prepared using soy phospholipids, and their delivery was compared to that of milk phospholipid liposomes. Although both vesicles showed high bioefficacy and delivery of polyphenols, there were differences in their behavior. It was concluded that milk phospholipids could represent an alternative source to soy phospholipids for preparation of liposomes and that the differences in composition and charge may allow us to further fine tune the cellular uptake of the bioactive.

While most methods to characterize colloidal particles either require dilution or some disruption, acoustic spectroscopy can be performed in situ, without dilution. Objective of this work was to determine the effects of concentration, heating and acidification on the acoustic and electroacoustic properties of casein micelles in skim milk. The ultrasonic attenuation of skim milk increased with concentration of milk and frequency, and the average size of the colloidal particles calculated from the frequency dependence of attenuation was about 0.15 μm for both unheated and heated milk. When milk was concentrated by ultrafiltration, at 3× and 4× concentration (based on volume reduction), the calculated size deviated from that derived in undiluted or mildly concentrated milk, most likely because of increased particle-particle interactions. Electroacoustic measurements revealed a constant dynamic mobility of the particles in undiluted and concentrated milk, while lower mobilities were observed for milk diluted in permeate. The ζ-potential measured was significantly higher than the values measured using dynamic light scattering, with a value of -45.8 mV for casein micelles in unheated milk. With acidification, the ζ-potential decreased monotonically. Heating profoundly affected the change in charge with pH of the micelles, and it was concluded that the interaction of casein micelles with the whey proteins increased the surface charge of the casein micelles.

The interfacial tension decreased with increasing PGPR concentration, and was <2 mN m−1 at PGPR concentrations beyond 1%. The presence of proteins in the water phase, β-lg and sodium caseinate, further reduced the interfacial tension. Even at the low concentrations (0.008%) tested, PGPR dominated the interfacial elasticity, which was only slightly affected by the addition of elevated levels of protein. While in the presence of β-lg (0.1%) in isolation, the system showed a high interfacial elasticity, the addition of PGPR lowered the elasticity, suggesting that PGPR interfered with protein–protein interactions at the interface, or caused displacement of β-lg. Interfacial elasticity at the oil–water interface showed little dependence on dilation or frequency of the sinusoidal oscillation, when the interface was dominated by PGPR.

This bioactive molecule has low water solubility and rapidly degrades during digestion. In the present study, the uptake of curcumin from oil in water emulsions, prepared with two different emulsifiers, Tween 20 and Poloxamer 407, was investigated to determine the effect of interfacial composition on absorption. Piperine was added to the curcumin to limit the degradation of curcumin because it is known to inhibit β-glucuronidase activity. The emulsions were administered to Caco-2 cell cultures, which is used as a model for intestinal uptake, and the recovery of curcumin was measured. The curcumin uptake was significantly affected by the type of interface, and the extent of curcumin uptake improved significantly by piperine addition only in the case of oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by Poloxamer 407. This work provides further evidence of the importance of interfacial composition on the delivery of bioactives.

In this study, we have investigated the capabilities of SLN to deliver a hydrophobic polyphenol compound, curcumin, in a coculture system of absorptive Caco-2 and mucus secreting HT29-MTX cells. The cells were grown on transport filters to mimic the human intestinal epithelium. Because of the hydrophobic nature of curcumin, its delivery to the basolateral compartment is expected to take place via a paracellular route. The changes in curcumin concentration in various compartments (i.e., apical, basolateral, mucus, and cell lysates) were evaluated using fluorescence spectroscopy. Two SLN systems were prepared with different emulsifying agents. The encapsulation of curcumin in SLN caused enhanced delivery compared to unencapsulated curcumin. In addition, SLN showed enhanced delivery compared to emulsion droplets containing liquid soy oil. The SLN were retained on the apical mucosal layer to a greater extent than emulsion droplets. The presence of SLN did not affect the integrity of the cellular junctions, as indicated by the TEER values, and the route of transport of the solid particles was simple diffusion, with permeability rates of about 7 × 10(-6) cm s(-1). Approximately 1% of total curcumin was delivered to the basolateral compartment, suggesting that most of the curcumin was absorbed and metabolized by the cell.

Liposomal dispersions (10%) were prepared using high-pressure homogenization, and their physical properties as well as their ability to encapsulate tea polyphenols were investigated. The extent of encapsulation, measured by HPLC, increased with tea polyphenol concentration up to about 4 mg·mL −1 . At polyphenol concentrations ≥ 6 mg·mL −1 , the liposome dispersions were no longer stable. The influence of pH (3−7), storage temperature (room temperature or refrigeration), and addition of sugars (0−15%) were studied for liposomes containing 4 mg·mL −1 polyphenols. The liposomal dispersions were also stable in the presence of peptides. The storage stability of the systems prepared with milk phospholipids was compared to that of liposomes made with soy phospholipids. Soy liposomes were smaller in size than milk phospholipid liposomes, the encapsulation efficiency was higher, and the extent of release of tea polyphenols during storage was lower for milk phospholipid liposomes compared to soy liposomes. The results suggest that milk phospholipids could be employed to prepare tea-polyphenol-bearing liposomes and that the tea catechins may be incorporated in the milk phospholipid bilayer more efficiently than in the case of a soy phospholipid bilayer.
