There is growing interest in developing biomaterial-coated liposome delivery systems to improve the stability and bioavailability of curcumin, which is a hydrophobic nutraceutical claimed to have several health benefits. The curcumin-loaded rhamnolipid liposomes (Cur-RL-Lips) were fabricated from rhamnolipid and phospholipids, and then chitosan (CS) covered the surface of Cur-RL-Lips by electrostatic interaction to form CS-coated Cur-RL-Lips. The influence of CS concentration on the physical stability and digestion of the liposomes was investigated. The CS-coated Cur-RL-Lips with RL:CS = 1:1 have a relatively small size (412.9 nm) and positive charge (19.7 mV). The CS-coated Cur-RL-Lips remained stable from pH 2 to 5 at room temperature and can effectively slow the degradation of curcumin at 80 °C; however, they were highly unstable to salt addition. In addition, compared with Cur-RL-Lips, the bioavailability of curcumin in CS-coated Cur-RL-Lips was relatively high due to its high transformation in gastrointestinal tract. These results may facilitate the design of a more efficacious liposomal delivery system that enhances the stability and bioavailability of curcumin in nutraceutical-loaded functional foods and beverages.

Objective: To determine the stability of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and erythropoietin (Epo) in human amniotic fluid and recombinant G-CSF (Neupogen) and Epo (Epogen) in simulated amniotic fluid to digestions at pH concentrations of 3.2, 4.5, and 5.8 to assess their bioavailability to the neonate. Design: A simulated amniotic fluid containing Neupogen and Epogen was subjected to in vitro conditions that mimicked preprandial and postprandial neonatal intestinal digestion. Human amniotic fluid was tested using identical digestion conditions as well as human amniotic fluid to which Epogen and Neupogen had been added. Main Outcome Measures: The percentages of G-CSF/Epo and Neupogen/Epogen remaining after 1 and 2 hours of simulated digestions were compared with those at time zero, and concentrations at 2 hours were compared with those at 1 hour and time zero. Results: In simulated amniotic fluid at pH 3.2, significant degradation of G-CSF was observed at 1 hour (p = 0.03). No differences were observed at 1 or 2 hours for either pH 4.5 (p = 0.30 and 0.11, respectively) or pH 5.8 (p = 0.20 and 0.49, respectively). Human amniotic fluid exhibited significant degradation pH 3.2 (p = 0.04) and pH 4.5 (p < 0.05) at 1 hour; no difference was noted at pH 5.8 at 1 hour (p = 0.34). When additional Neupogen was added to human amniotic fluid, significant degradation was observed at pH 3.2 (p < 0.05) and pH 4.5 (p = 0.03) at 1 hour; no difference was noted at 1 hour at pH 5.8 (p = 0.11). In simulated amniotic fluid at pH 3.2, significant degradation of Epo occurred at 1 hour (p < 0.05). There were no differences at 1 hour for pH 4.5 (p = 0.50) or pH 5.8 (p = 0.17). Human amniotic fluid exhibited significant degradation at pH 3.2 (p < 0.05) and pH 4.5 (p < 0.05) at 1 hour; no difference was noted at 1 hour at pH 5.8 (p = 0.34). When additional Epogen was added to human amniotic fluid, significant degradation was observed at pH 3.2 (p = 0.001) and pH 4.5 (p = 0.003); no difference was noted at 1 hour at pH 5.8 (p = 0.31). Conclusions: G-CSF/Epo in human amniotic fluid and Neupogen/Epogen in simulated amniotic fluid are preserved to varying degrees during simulated digestion conditions. The degree of degradation of both cytokines was time- and pH-dependent. Measurable quantities of G-CSF and Epo are biologically available when swallowed by the fetus or a preterm neonate.

Anthocyanins are effective antioxidants but they have also been proposed to have other biological activities independent of their antioxidant capacities that produce health benefits. Examples range from inhibition of cancer cell growth in vitro, induction of insulin production in isolated pancreatic cells, reduction of starch digestion through inhibition of a-glucosidase activity, suppression of inflammatory responses as well as protection against age-related declines in cognitive behavior and neuronal dysfunction in the central nervous system. However, to achieve any biological effect in a specific tissue or organ, anthocyanins must be bioavailable; i.e. effectively absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) into the circulation and delivered to the appropriate location within the body. In this study, we assess the stability of anthocyanins from commercial Black currant (Ribes nigrum L.) juice using an in vitro digestion procedure that mimics the physiochemical and biochemical conditions encountered in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The main objective of this work was the evaluation of stability of anthocyanins during in vitro digestion in gastric and intestinal fluid regarding whether appropriate enzyme (pepsin or pancreatin) was added or not. Anthocyanins present in commercial black currant juice remain stable during in vitro digestion in gastric fluid regardless whether pepsin was added into the medium or not. Also, they remain stable during in vitro digestion in simulated intestinal fluid without pancreatin. The stability studies of anthocyanins in the intestinal fluid containing pancreatin indicated reduced stability, which also mainly contribute to slight reduction of total anthocyanins content (1,83%-) in commercial black currant juice.

Abstract:Herbal infusions are among the most widely consumed beverages throughout the world. Their popularity arises due to not only their pleasant aroma and taste, but also their high phenolic content and antioxidant activity. A vast number of in vitro studies revealed their high phenolic content, together with strong antioxidant activity. However, the majority of them seem to ignore some important physiological parameters, such as bioavailability or bioaccessibility. The present study was planned to evaluate the stability of phenolic content and antioxidant activities of seven most widely preferred herbal infusions. A stimulated version of gastrointestinal infusion was added to the study for comparative purposes. The results indicated the loss of both phenolic content and antioxidant activity of herbal infusions after being submitted to digestion.

In this study, 4-α-glucanotransferase (4αGTase)-treated rice starch (GS) was added after 1-h (1 GS) and 96-h (96 GS) treatments to the aqueous phase of a curcumin-loaded emulsion to produce filled hydrogels (1 GS-FH and 96 GS-FH, respectively). The relative protective effects of the FH system, native rice starch-based filled hydrogel (RS-FH), and emulsion without starch (EM), on curcumin were evaluated based on ultraviolet (UV) stability and simulated gastrointestinal studies. The UV stability and curcumin retention after in vitro digestion of the filled hydrogels (FH) samples were greater than those of the EM samples. RS-FH showed a 2.28-fold improvement in UV stability over EM due to the higher viscosity of RS. 1 GS-FH and 96 GS-FH increased curcumin retention by 2.31- and 2.60-fold, respectively, and the microstructure of 96 GS-FH, determined using confocal laser microscopy, remained stable even after the stomach phase. These effects were attributed to the molecular structure of GS, with decreased amylopectin size and amylose content resulting from the enzyme treatment. The encapsulation of lipids within the GS hydrogel particles served to protect and deliver the curcumin component, suggesting that GS-FH can be applied to gel-type food products and improve the chemical stability of curcumin.
