Cationic β-lactoglobulin nanoparticles as a bioavailability enhancer: Comparison between ethylenediamine and polyethyleneimine as cationizers

Effects of Desolvating Agent Types, Ratios, and Temperature on Size and Nanostructure of Nanoparticles from α‐Lactalbumin and Ovalbumin

“…α‐Lactalbumin (α‐LA) nanoparticles in our study were in the range of 100 to 200 nm, similar to other bionanoparticulation techniques in the literature. However, these studies used homogenization techniques such as centrifugation to keep uniformity of the particles (Arroyo‐Maya and others ; Teng and others ). In our study of α‐LA nanoparticles, these techniques were not used.…”

Protein-Based Nanostructures for Food Applications

“…PPO is an enzyme that can be used to cross-link casein in the presence of a low molecular weight phenolic compound such as caffeic acid. Overall, food functional effects of enzymatic protein cross-linking also include improvements of gelation properties and emulsion stability as well as enhanced heat-stability [62,63,64].…”

“…During the spray drying of nanoparticles, a biopolymer solution feedstock is atomized into a spray of fine droplets and then brought into contact with the hot drying air at a sufficient temperature for moisture evaporation to take place. As the moisture evaporates from the droplets, a solid product (powder) is formed and recovered from the drying air [63]. This has the advantage of forming a convenient dry powder product with extended shelf life and low storage or transport costs [64].…”

“…In this equipment, the electrostatic particle collector allows the efficient separation of the dried particles. Some work has been done to prepare protein particles to encapsulate active compounds (vitamins, antioxidants, metals [63]). Figure 1 shows the morphology of lactoferrin-based particles produced by a nanospraydrier.…”

Enhanced delivery of daidzein into fibroblasts and neuronal cells with cationic derivatives of gamma-cyclodextrin for the control of cellular glycosaminoglycans

“…It was also shown that the complexes of these GCD derivatives with DAI and Nile 36 Red penetrate human fibroblasts and murine hippocampal neuronal cells indicating that cationic GCD 37 derivatives can be considered as potential delivery systems for isoflavones and other poorly water soluble 38 compounds. Moreover, it was found that DAI delivered in cationic GCD complexes decreased the level of 39 the cellular glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in normal fibroblasts suggesting their possible application in the 40 control of GAGs in mucopolysaccharidoses, lysosomal storage diseases caused by pathological accumula- 41 tion of GAGs in the cells. 47 Cyclodextrins are a family of oligosaccharides, whose molecules 48 are made up of glucose units bound together to form a circle with a 49 hydrophobic cavity in the center [22].…”
