Lactoferrin particles assembled via transglutaminase-induced crosslinking: Utilization in oleogel-based Pickering emulsions with improved curcumin bioaccessibility

Fibrous and Spherical Aggregates of Ovotransferrin as Stabilizers for Oleogel-Based Pickering Emulsions: Preparation, Characteristics and Curcumin Delivery

“…OPEs were prepared with BW-MCT oleogel as the oil phase and OVT fibrils/spheres as stabilizers ( Figure 3 ). Because all of the investigated OPEs dispersed instantly in water and remained insoluble in MCT, FIB-OPEs and SPH-OPEs were determined as oil-in-water emulsions [ 19 ]. A confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was performed to visualize the microstructure of FIB-OPEs and SPH-OPEs.…”

“…In a previous study, OPEs were constructed and showed good storage stability [ 18 ]. The in vitro digestion study by Xia et al revealed that OPEs were able to significantly increase the rate of lipolysis and the bioaccessibility of the delivered nutrient [ 19 ].…”

A comprehensive review on lactoferrin: a natural multifunctional glycoprotein

“…128 Simultaneously, the electrostatic complexation formed of Lf and pectin and an oleogel-based Pickering emulsion stabilized by the transglutaminase-Lf particle used to encapsulate curcumin improved its release profile, chemical stability, and antioxidant activity. 129 The surface modification of Lf nanoparticles with sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate (MES) enhances its efficacy by specifically targeting the cells infected with HIV-1 through the controlled delivery and effective concentration of the drug at the infected area. 130 A study reported that Lf nanoparticles (LfNPs) had been used as a delivery system for DNA.…”

Ultrasonic Treatment of Food Colloidal Systems Containing Oleogels: A Review

“…Among the studies on the preparation of emulsions containing oleogels ( Table 2 ), the following substances were used as surfactants, emulsifiers, and stabilizers: monoglycerides [ 77 , 103 , 106 , 113 , 116 ], tween 80 [ 106 , 113 ], lecithin [ 103 , 108 ], k-carrageenan [ 99 , 112 ], nanocrystalline cellulose [ 109 , 110 , 114 ], whey protein concentrate [ 99 ], cream [ 90 ], soy protein isolate [ 97 ], sodium caseinate [ 108 ], insoluble tea protein [ 112 ], fish collagen [ 104 ], Pluronic F-68 [ 106 ], chitosan [ 107 ], tween 20 [ 113 ], sorbitan monooleate [ 108 ], lupeol [ 113 ], lactoferrin [ 105 ], phytosterols, tea saponin, Quillaja saponin, and octenyl succinate starch [ 108 ]. The following oils were used in the oil phase for obtaining the emulsion: sunflower [ 115 ], including high-oleic [ 29 , 77 , 111 ], corn [ 104 , 105 , 107 ], olive [ 111 ], including extra virgin [ 106 , 110 ], rapeseed [ 90 , 99 ], soybean [ 109 , 114 ], cotton [ 29 ] canola oil [ 113 ], coconut oil [ 113 ], fish oil [ 112 ], walnut oil [ …”
