An innovative edible wrapping with potential use for designing functional foods with antimicrobial capacity was developed by complexation of ε-polylysine with peptideloaded liposomes. Unmarketable long-term frozen cooked shrimp (L. vannamei) muscle was used as a source of both bioactive peptides and complex liposomal suspension carrier, producing a sustainable value-added protein wrapping material with desirable sensory properties. A <10 kDa peptide fraction (SH) with antioxidant and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory capacity was encapsulated in partially purified phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes (LSH) with an entrapment efficiency of 85%. The average size and zeta-potential of LSH were 164 ± 2 nm and-37.0 ± 1.7 mV, respectively. The LSH surface changed from electronegative to electropositive upon adsorption of ε-polylysine (PL) with an optimal concentration of 0.5%. The average diameter and zeta-potential of the resulting complex ε-polylysine-adsorbed liposomes containing the peptide hydrolysate (PL-LSH) were 216 ± 5 nm and +51.1 ± 1.1 mV, respectively. The ε-PL proved to be effective as liposome stabilizing and antimicrobial agent. The PL-LSH suspension was incorporated in the formulation of the protein wrapping to provide it with both bioactive and antimicrobial properties. The wrapping showed low water solubility (≈ 30%) and low mechanical resistance (tensile strength = 0.23 ± 0.06 MPa; elongation at break = 0.91 ± 0.19 %) properties that allowed it to be very versatile for varied food design, and was effective against Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Yersinia enterocolitica.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
