Abstract Quercetin is a hydrophobic flavonoid with high antioxidant activity. However, for biological applications, the bioavailability of quercetin low due to physiological barriers. For this reason, an alternative protection in matrices biopolymers as zein. The objective work was prepare and characterize quercetin‐loaded zein nanoparticles by electrospraying its study vitro bioavailability. physicochemical parameters such viscosity, density, electrical conductivity solutions showed...
Arabinoxylan (AX) samples of decreasing ferulic acid (FA) contents were chemically prepared from water-extractable wheat arabinoxylans without affecting their other structural properties. Gels obtained these partially feruloylated WEAX (PF−WEAX) by enzymatic covalent cross-linking FA leading to the formation diferulic (di-FA) and tri-ferulic (tri-FA). gelling ability was found related content whereas gel structure properties depended on density newly formed cross-links. ranging 1.4 2.3 μg/mg...
A novel pectin was acid extracted from chickpea husk (CHP). CHP presented a 67% (w/w) of galacturonic acid, an intrinsic viscosity 374 mL/g and viscosimetric molecular weight 110 kDa. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectrum indicated degree esterification about 10%. The CHP-calcium system formed ionic gels with storage (G’) modulus 40 Pa gel set time (G’ > G’’) 3 min at 1% (w/v), G’ 131 1 2% (w/v). not greatly affected by temperature. results attained suggest that can be...
Lignin contributes to the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass and affects enzymatic activity during biorefinery operations. Therefore, it must be removed before further processing. Organic solvents (organosolv) ionic liquids are two important pretreatments for delignifying biomass. They have proven beneficial fractionating recovering cellulose hemicellulose, as well lignin with useful physicochemical properties. Volatility harsh conditions acidic systems that result in toxicity,...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy propolis extract (PE) reduce lipid oxidation and microbial growth on beef patties during refrigerated storage. Beef were manufactured by incorporating PE in 4 different treatments: (1) Control (no addition); (2) commercial 1 (2% w/w; CP1); (3) 2 CP2); (4) noncommercial NCP). Raw wrapped with polyvinyl chloride stored at °C for 8 d. Total phenolic content (TPC), free-radical scavenging activity (FRS), polyphenolic evaluated using...
Polysaccharide biomaterials have gained significant importance in the manufacture of nanoparticles used colon-targeted drug delivery systems. These systems are a form non-invasive oral therapy treatment various diseases. To achieve successful colonic delivery, chemical, enzymatic and mucoadhesive barriers within gastrointestinal (GI) tract must be analyzed. This will allow for nanomaterials to cross these reach colon. review provides information on development made from polysaccharides,...
Biological properties of Sonoran propolis (SP) are influenced by harvest time. Caborca showed cellular protective capacity against reactive oxygen species, which might be implicated in anti-inflammatory effects. However, the activity SP has not been investigated so far. This study previously characterized seasonal extracts (SPE) and some their main constituents (SPC). The SPE SPC was evaluated measuring nitric oxide (NO) production, protein denaturation inhibition, heat-induced hemolysis...
In the present study water extractable arabinoxylans (WEAX) from a Mexican spring wheat flour (cv. Tacupeto F2001) were isolated, characterized and gelled gel rheological properties microstructure investigated. These WEAX presented an arabinose to xylose ratio of 0.66, ferulic acid diferulic content 0.526 0.036 µg/mg WEAX, respectively Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR) spectrum typical arabinoxylans. The intrinsic viscosity viscosimetric molecular weight values for 3.5 dL/g 504 kDa,...
ABSTRACT This work presents the fabrication and characterization of electro‐sprayed core‐shell particles that were composed maize bran arabinoxylans (MBAX) with insulin in core, wastewater (MWAX) Bifidobacterium shell. Two concentrations MBAX (3% 6% w/v) MWAX (6% 10% evaluated. The fabricated at (w/v) core shell more stable, presented spherical shape no aggregation being therefore selected to be loaded probiotics. These a size 2.9 mm. Scanning electron microscopy analysis particle cross...
