Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cosmetic raw material technology, specifically to a method for preparing lactoferrin complex globular membranes and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Lactoferrin (LF) is an iron-binding glycoprotein belonging to the transferrin family. It is found in humans and animals, particularly in high concentrations in human and bovine milk. Human and bovine lactoferrin share a high degree of similarity in their primary structures, with a homology of up to 69%. The primary structure of human lactoferrin consists of 703 amino acid residues, while its secondary structure comprises alternating α-helices and β-sheets. Lactoferrin's ability to bind to numerous substances forms the basis of its diverse biological functions. It can bind not only iron ions but also copper, calcium, and aluminum ions, and can also bind to other proteins and DNA to exert corresponding functions. Studies have shown that lactoferrin possesses broad-spectrum antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, melanin-inhibiting, and collagen-promoting effects, making it a potential functional ingredient in anti-aging, whitening, and repairing skincare products.

[0003] Patent document CN103735424A discloses a cosmetic containing bovine lactoferrin. This cosmetic mainly consists of stearic acid, octadecanol, glyceryl monostearate, butyl stearate, propylene glycol, potassium chloride, fragrance, preservatives, bovine lactoferrin, astaxanthin, and distilled water. The resulting cosmetic has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects, effectively removing acne and pimples, softening the stratum corneum, fading age spots, reducing wrinkles and firming the skin, inhibiting fungal infections like athlete's foot, softening calluses on the feet, promoting skin cell metabolism, and keeping the skin bright and smooth.

[0004] Patent document CN119280093A discloses the use of lactoferrin as a moisturizer in cosmetics or personal care products. Studies have found that lactoferrin has excellent moisturizing effects; specifically, it was found that lactoferrin can increase the content of the key moisturizing protein AQP3 in an in vitro skin model, thus proving that lactoferrin has moisturizing efficacy.

[0005] Patent document CN116804052A discloses an antioxidant peptide derived from lactoferrin. This antioxidant peptide has antioxidant activity, and its DPPH free radical scavenging ability and ABTS free radical scavenging ability are close to or better than those of glutathione and carnosine, respectively. It can be used in the preparation of antioxidant products, such as as an active ingredient in food, cosmetics, or health products.

[0006] However, although lactoferrin is widely used in the cosmetics field, it also has many shortcomings in practical applications, such as: (1) the large molecular weight of lactoferrin makes it difficult to penetrate the stratum corneum, resulting in a transdermal permeability of less than 5%; (2) the strong hydrophilicity of lactoferrin makes it easily soluble in water, leading to low bioavailability; and (3) in cosmetic systems, lactoferrin is easily affected by pH changes (aggregation occurs when pH>6), high temperature (>70 ℃), and light, leading to activity decay or even inactivation. Therefore, researching and developing a production process that can improve the stability and bioavailability of lactoferrin remains a pressing challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for preparing lactoferrin composite globular membranes. The method involves using milk fat globule membrane protein (FFM) as a carrier to encapsulate lactoferrin, creating nanoscale composite globular membranes. Specifically, chelating resin deironization technology is first employed to reduce the iron saturation of lactoferrin. Then, using FFM as a carrier, a W / O colostrum is constructed by building a WFM / lactoferrin core-shell structure. This W / O colostrum is then injected into an aqueous phase containing 0.1 wt% lactobionic acid to form the composite globular membrane. This method significantly improves the stability and transdermal permeability of lactoferrin, as well as its antibacterial activity and oxidative properties. It effectively addresses the shortcomings of lactoferrin in cosmetic applications, such as low transdermal permeability, low bioavailability, and poor stability, making it a more ideal functional cosmetic ingredient.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: This invention provides a method for preparing lactoferrin complex globular membranes, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Weigh lactoferrin and dissolve it in 0.1 mol / L, pH 4.5 sodium citrate buffer. Add chelating resin and shake to adsorb for 2-3 h at 25 ℃. Centrifuge for 8-12 min at 7000-9000 rpm. Take the supernatant, ultrafilter, take the supernatant, and freeze-dry to obtain pretreated lactoferrin. Step S2: Weigh milk fat globule membrane protein and add it to deionized water. Refrigerate overnight at 0-4 ℃ to obtain the lipid phase. Step S3: Dissolve the pretreated lactoferrin obtained in step S1 in 0.1 mol / L, pH 5.5 citrate buffer solution. The ratio of the pretreated lactoferrin to sodium citrate buffer solution is 1 g: 100 mL. Sterilize with a 0.22 μm filter membrane to obtain the aqueous phase. Step S4: The aqueous phase obtained in step S3 is injected into the lipid phase obtained in step S2 at a rate of 0.3~0.8 mL / min, sheared, homogenized, and W / O promulgated. The W / O promulgated is injected into an aqueous phase containing 0.1 wt% lactobionic acid and stirred for 12~14 h at a temperature of 4 ℃ and a rotation speed of 500~600 rpm to obtain an O / W globular membrane solution. The aqueous phase containing 0.1 wt% lactobionic acid is an aqueous solution containing 0.1 wt% lactobionic acid, and the solvent is pure water.

[0009] Step S5: The O / W spherical membrane solution obtained in step S4 is concentrated by ultrafiltration to obtain a concentrate. Trehalose is added to the concentrate, pre-frozen, and freeze-dried to obtain the final product.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S1, the ratio of lactoferrin to sodium citrate buffer is 1 g: 100 mL.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S1, the mass ratio of chelating resin to lactoferrin is 50:1, and the chelating resin is of the Chelex-100 type.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S2, the ratio of milk fat globule membrane protein to deionized water is 1 g: 25 mL.

[0013] Furthermore, the mass ratio of lactoferrin in step S1 to milk fat globule membrane protein in step S2 is 2:1.

[0014] Further, the shearing conditions in step S4 are: shearing for 5 to 6 minutes at a rotation speed of 11,000 to 12,000 rpm, and the homogenization conditions are: homogenization for 2 to 4 times at a pressure of 15 to 25 MPa, with a cycle interval of 2 to 3 minutes, followed by ice bath cooling.

[0015] Furthermore, in step S4, the amount of aqueous phase containing 0.1 wt% lactobionic acid added is 10 times the volume of sodium citrate buffer in step S1.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S5, the amount of trehalose added is 4-6 wt% of the weight of the concentrate. The pre-freezing conditions are: pre-freezing at a temperature of -70 ℃ to -80 ℃ for 4-5 h, and the freeze-drying conditions are: freezing at a temperature of -50 ℃ to -55 ℃ and a pressure of 100 Pa for 20-24 h.

[0017] Furthermore, the present invention also claims protection for lactoferrin complex globular membranes prepared by the method for preparing the lactoferrin complex globular membranes.

[0018] In addition, the present invention also provides the application of the lactoferrin complex globular membrane in the preparation of cosmetics with antioxidant or anti-inflammatory effects.

[0019] Milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) is a unique three-layered structure surrounding milk fat globules, containing 30-75% polar lipids and 25-75% proteins. The main components of the polar lipids are glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids, while the main components of the proteins are lactolipoprotein (BTN), mucin 1 (MUC1), xanthine oxidoreductase (XDH / XO), and fatty acid-binding proteins. To address the shortcomings in the application of lactoferrin in the cosmetic field, the inventors first proposed a technical solution using milk fat globule membrane protein as a carrier to encapsulate lactoferrin and create nanoscale composite globule membranes. The inventors unexpectedly discovered that using milk fat globule membrane protein as a carrier to encapsulate lactoferrin not only improves the skin permeability and stability of lactoferrin but also significantly enhances its antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.

[0020] This invention creatively employs chelating resin deironization technology to reduce the iron saturation of lactoferrin (LF), achieving an iron saturation of <7%. This not only ensures the stability of lactoferrin but also significantly enhances its antibacterial activity. Subsequently, using milk fat globule membrane protein (MFGM) as a carrier, an MFGM / LF core-shell structure is formed through low-temperature self-assembly at 4 °C in a pH 5.5 citrate buffer system. The particle size of this core-shell structure is 80–150 nm, matching the optimal size for penetration into the stratum corneum and overcoming the transdermal barrier of large molecules. Simultaneously, this invention optimizes key parameters such as the MFGM:LF mass ratio to 2:1 and the homogenization pressure to 15–25 MPa, synergistically optimizing encapsulation efficiency and dispersibility. This effectively improves the stability of the lactoferrin product, maintains its native conformation, and prevents denaturation and inactivation, providing a reliable solution for the efficient transdermal delivery of functional proteins.

[0021] In summary, compared with the prior art, the method for preparing lactoferrin complex globular membranes provided by the present invention has the following advantages: (1) The lactoferrin composite globular membrane prepared by the present invention has the advantages of high encapsulation rate, good transdermal properties and high stability, which breaks through the bottleneck of low encapsulation rate, poor transdermal properties and easy loss of activity of traditional technology, and provides a reliable solution for efficient transdermal delivery of functional proteins.

[0022] (2) The lactoferrin complex globular membrane obtained by the present invention has the advantages of strong antibacterial effect, good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, and is a relatively ideal functional raw material for anti-aging, whitening and repair skin care products.

Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or improvements based on the basic idea of ​​the invention, but as long as they do not depart from the basic idea of ​​the invention, they are all within the scope of the invention. The raw materials and components involved in the present invention can all be obtained through commercially available or conventional techniques in the art. For example, the lactoferrin was purchased from Glanbia, and the milk fat globule membrane protein was purchased from Wuhan Huamei Bioengineering Co., Ltd.

[0027] Step S4: The aqueous phase obtained in step S3 is injected into the lipid phase obtained in step S2 at a rate of 0.5 mL / min. The mixture is sheared at 12000 rpm for 5 min, homogenized three times at a pressure of 20 MPa with a 2 min interval between cycles, and cooled in an ice bath to obtain a W / O promulgated emulsion.

[0028] Step S5: The O / W spherical membrane solution obtained in step S4 is concentrated by ultrafiltration through a 100 kDa membrane at a tangential flow rate of 2 L / min to remove free lactoferrin and lactobionic acid, resulting in a concentrate. Trehalose is added to the concentrate at an amount of 5 wt% of the concentrate weight. The concentrate is then pre-frozen at -80 ℃ for 4 h, followed by freezing at -50 ℃ and 100 Pa for 24 h to obtain a white porous powder.

Centrifuge for 12 min at 7000 rpm, collect the supernatant, desalt by ultrafiltration through a 10 kDa membrane, and freeze-dry to obtain pretreated lactoferrin. The pretreated lactoferrin is low-iron lactoferrin, with an iron saturation of 6.8% as determined by ICP-MS.

[0032] Step S4: The aqueous phase obtained in step S3 is injected into the lipid phase obtained in step S2 at a rate of 0.6 mL / min. The mixture is sheared at 11000 rpm for 6 min, homogenized twice at a pressure of 22 MPa with a 2 min interval between cycles, and cooled in an ice bath to obtain a W / O colostrum. The W / O colostrum is then injected into an aqueous phase containing 0.1 wt% lactobionic acid, wherein the aqueous phase containing 0.1 wt% lactobionic acid is an aqueous solution containing 0.1 wt% lactobionic acid in pure water. The mixture is stirred at 4 ℃ and 500 rpm for 14 h to obtain an O / W spherical membrane solution. The particle size of the W / O colostrum was measured to be 84±13 nm using a Malvern particle size analyzer, and the PDI was <0.2.

[0033] Step S5: The O / W spherical membrane solution obtained in step S4 is concentrated by ultrafiltration through a 100 kDa membrane at a tangential flow rate of 2 L / min to remove free lactoferrin and lactobionic acid, resulting in a concentrate. Trehalose is added to the concentrate at an amount of 6 wt% of the concentrate weight. The concentrate is then pre-frozen at -70 ℃ for 5 h, followed by freezing at -55 ℃ and 100 Pa for 22 h to obtain a white porous powder.
