Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of food material technology and antibacterial and fresh-keeping, and specifically relates to a preparation method of p-coumaric acid nanoliposomes and their antibacterial and fresh-keeping applications. Background Art

[0002] p-Coumaric acid, also known as p-hydroxycinnamic acid, is a natural phenolic acid compound that can be found in various fruits, vegetables, grains and fungi in free or combined forms. The biosynthesis of p-coumaric acid uses phenylalanine and tyrosine as precursors and is synthesized through the shikimic acid pathway through deamination and hydroxylation reactions. p-Coumaric acid is an important precursor of secondary metabolites in plants, such as chlorogenic acid, resveratrol, lignin, anthocyanins, etc. Studies have shown that p-coumaric acid has a variety of biological activities, such as antibacterial, antioxidant, hypolipidemic, neuroprotective, etc., and has broad application prospects in the fields of medicine, cosmetics and food. However, p-coumaric acid has poor water solubility and is sensitive to the environment, which limits its scope of application. In the Chinese patent application with application number 201910516849.7, a 'nano drug delivery system based on p-coumaric acid polymer and its preparation method and application' is disclosed, which involves the anti-tumor activity of p-coumaric acid polymer. The Chinese patent application number 201711237205.1 discloses "an application of p-coumaric acid ester in fruit and vegetable sterilization and preservative agents", but does not mention the antibacterial and preservative effects of p-coumaric acid. How to use existing technologies to improve the biological activity of p-coumaric acid requires further research.

[0003] Liposomes are vesicles with a bilayer structure similar to biological membranes formed by self-assembly of phospholipids and cholesterol. The hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail of phospholipid molecules form a bilayer structure of phospholipids through hydrophobic interactions. Lipid-soluble substances can be encapsulated between the bilayers, and water-soluble substances can be encapsulated in the inner aqueous phase. In addition, compared with other delivery systems, the biomimetic structure of liposomes shows unique advantages, such as biocompatibility, high safety, targeting and sustained release, which can improve the physical and chemical properties of active ingredients and enhance their stability and efficacy.

[0004] As an efficient delivery system, liposomes have attracted extensive attention due to their nano-size and amphiphilic properties. Liposomes have been successfully used in the fields of medicine, cosmetics and food. They can encapsulate antibacterial drugs and improve their stability and solubility in aqueous media, thereby increasing their bioavailability and biological functions. There are no reports on the encapsulation of p-coumaric acid and its application in the antibacterial and fresh-keeping of fruits and vegetables in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0038]

[0039]

[0040] The particle size, PDI and Zeta potential of p-coumaric acid nanoliposomes in the present invention are determined as follows:

[0041] After the p-coumaric acid nanoliposome sample to be tested is diluted to a certain concentration, an appropriate amount of the sample is taken and loaded into a polystyrene cuvette. The refractive coefficients of phospholipids and dispersed phase are set to 1.49 and 1.33, respectively. The sample is kept in equilibrium at 25°C for 10 minutes. The scattering angle is 90°. In order to reduce the measurement error caused by multiple light scattering, each sample is measured three times, and the particle size, PDI and Zeta potential of the sample are recorded.

[0062] Table 1 Encapsulation efficiency, drug loading rate, particle size, PDI and Zeta potential of p-coumaric acid nanoliposomes

[0063]

[0064] Encapsulation efficiency and drug loading rate are important indicators for evaluating the encapsulation effect of liposomes. PDI and Zeta potential can reflect the uniformity and stability of liposome dispersion. As shown in Table 1, the optimal p-coumaric acid nanoliposomes have an encapsulation efficiency of 55.70%, a drug loading rate of 2.44%, a particle size of 83.55 nm, a PDI of 0.25, and a Zeta potential of -8.83 mV, indicating that the liposomes are evenly dispersed and have a negative charge on the surface. Figure 7 It can be seen that the p-coumaric acid nanoliposomes exhibit light blue opalescence.

[0065] Example 8 Microscopic morphology of p-coumaric acid nanoliposomes

[0066] Example 7 was used to prepare p-coumaric acid nanoliposomes, and their microscopic morphology was observed using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and an atomic force microscope (AFM). A certain volume of p-coumaric acid nanoliposome suspension was dropped on a copper mesh with a carbon film and allowed to stand for 10 minutes, excess liquid was removed with filter paper, 3% uranyl acetate solution was added for negative staining, and the copper mesh was observed at 100 kV with a TEM after air-drying at room temperature. For AFM, the pre-diluted p-coumaric acid nanoliposome sample was added dropwise to the surface of a mica sheet and air-dried at room temperature for 30 minutes. After the sample was fully dried, it was placed under an AFM scanning probe and scanned in a tapping mode with a frequency of 300 kHz and an elastic modulus of 0.4 N / m. The silicon nitride microcantilever with a probe moved in a wave direction perpendicular to the sample surface to obtain surface morphology information of the sample.

[0067] Depend on Figure 8 It can be seen that the p-coumaric acid nanoliposomes are spherical or nearly spherical with a smooth surface and a typical vesicle-like structure. AFM shows that the liposomes are uniformly dispersed.

[0069] Example 7 was used to prepare p-coumaric acid nanoliposomes, and its in vivo antibacterial activity was verified using chili pepper fruit as an example. Fresh and disease-free chili pepper fruits were selected and divided into three groups. After surface disinfection with sodium hypochlorite solution, p-coumaric acid, p-coumaric acid nanoliposomes and sterile water (control) were punctured on the surface of chili pepper fruits and p-coumaric acid, p-coumaric acid nanoliposomes and sterile water (control) were injected respectively. After being placed at room temperature for 2 hours, a suspension of Botrytis cinerea spores was injected into the small holes of chili pepper fruits, and stored at 20°C and 85-90% RH after natural drying. The incidence of chili pepper fruits was regularly counted, the diameter of the lesions was measured and the area of ​​the lesions was calculated, and the inhibitory effect of p-coumaric acid nanoliposomes on gray mold after harvest of chili pepper fruits was evaluated.

[0070] Depend on Fig. 9 It can be seen that liposome encapsulation improved the inhibitory effect of p-coumaric acid on Botrytis cinerea and reduced the incidence of gray mold in postharvest pepper fruit. On the 8th day, the lesion area of ​​the p-coumaric acid nanoliposome group was 43.0% lower than that of the control group, and on the 2nd day, the incidence was 6.8% lower than that of the control group.

[0071] Example 10: Preservation effect of coumaric acid nanoliposomes

[0072] Use Example 7 to prepare p-coumaric acid nanoliposomes, and use Chinese prickly ash fruit as an example to verify its effect on fruit and vegetable preservation. Fresh and disease-free Chinese prickly ash fruits were selected and divided into three groups. After surface disinfection with sodium hypochlorite solution, the Chinese prickly ash fruits were immersed in p-coumaric acid, p-coumaric acid nanoliposomes and sterile water (control). After natural drying, they were stored at 20°C and 85-90% RH. The weight loss rate and rot rate of Chinese prickly ash fruits were regularly counted to evaluate the preservation effect of p-coumaric acid nanoliposomes on post-harvest Chinese prickly ash fruits. Fig.10 It can be seen that the encapsulation of nanoliposomes improved the preservation effect of p-coumaric acid on chili pepper fruit, and reduced the weight loss rate and decay rate of chili pepper fruit. After 25 days of storage, the weight loss rate of the p-coumaric acid nanoliposome group was 26.6% lower than that of the control group, and the decay rate was 38.7% lower than that of the control group, effectively extending the shelf life of chili pepper fruit.
