The objective of the study was to perform the nanoencapsulation of phenolic compounds from wine residues and to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant activity and simulated gastrointestinal digestion of the particles, as well as the in vivo influence on oxidative stress and longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans. Nanoparticles were formulated and produced using spray drying, freeze drying, and low-energy emulsion. The content of anthocyanins, phenolic compounds, and total flavonoids; as well as in vitro antioxidant activity, particle size and morphology of the nanoparticles were assessed.The highest bioactivity was observed for nanoparticles formulated using Shiraz and Merlot extracts, being confirmed in the simulated gastrointestinal digestion. The in vivo assays revealed that Shiraz nanoparticles acted as pro-oxidants with no resistance to oxidative stress and caused decreased longevity. Conversely, Merlot nanoparticles showed high resistance to oxidative stress and increased the longevity of C. elegans, to a maximum survival of 37 days.
Practical applicationsThe nanoparticles of phenolic winemaking residues were evaluated. They presented antioxidant activity and showed a good gastrointestinal performance. In addition, the nanoparticles of wine residues would influence positively lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans. In this way, this study can contribute for the utilization of this type of residue in food applications.
Se determinó el contenido de vitamina C y la actividad antioxidante en pulpa de camu camu maduro y pintón, antes y después de la liofilización. Las operaciones previas sobre los frutos de camu camu, fueron: selección y clasificación, control de pesos, despulpado, separación de la cáscara, semilla y pulpa y licuado. La precongelación se realizó en un ultracongelador a temperatura de -40 °C. En estas condiciones se realizó la sublimación. La pulpa de camu camu tuvo un rendimiento de 68.38%. El proceso de liofilización presentó una disminución en el peso hasta un 9.8 %. La pulpa liofilizada de camu camu en polvo presentó para el estado verde y maduro un valor de 11 557.62 y 14 557.62 mg ácido ascórbico/100 g de pulpa respectivamente. En ambos casos, se incrementó su valor por la evaporación del agua que fue alrededor del 94 %. La pulpa liofilizada de camu camu en polvo presentó un incremento en la concentración de polifenoles totales y capacidad antioxidante tanto para el estado el estado verde y maduro, en ambos casos se debió por la evaporación del agua durante la liofilización.
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.
