Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a cassava cell wall delivery carrier and its preparation method, belonging to the field of special dietary ingredient development. Background Technology
[0002] Cassava tubers are composed of neatly stacked, intact cells. Starch is tightly wrapped in the cell walls, which are made up of cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. These cells provide rigidity and strength to the cell structure. Furthermore, the small pores in the natural cell walls act as a physical barrier, inhibiting the digestive enzymes from hydrolyzing intracellular starch.
[0003] Currently, existing technologies utilize carriers such as gels, emulsions, and microcapsules to bind with active guest molecules (phenolic substances, antioxidants, drugs, dietary supplements, etc.) using physical or chemical methods to achieve the delivery and sustained release of guest molecules, thereby enhancing their bioavailability in vivo. However, this system has low drug loading capacity and requires a large amount of wall material to encapsulate the guest substance. At the same time, the digestion and decomposition of the wall material during the sustained release process in vivo increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
[0004] Therefore, designing an embedding wall material for natural small molecule guest substances can enable the guest molecules to be released slowly in the gastrointestinal tract while reducing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, which is of great significance for improving the bioavailability of guest molecules. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, the inventors previously discovered that the cell wall surface possesses small pores, allowing small molecules to pass through and be retained within the cell wall cavity, thus possessing the potential to serve as a delivery carrier. This invention provides a method for preparing a natural cassava cell wall delivery carrier. Intact cassava whole cells are separated using pectinase, and cell wall permeability is controlled through hydrothermal treatment to ensure amylase can pass through the cell wall while minimizing cell wall damage. Subsequently, intracellular starch is enzymatically hydrolyzed using digestive enzymes, resulting in a hollow cell wall with an intact cell wall structure. The resulting product can be loaded with bioactive guest molecules, enhancing the stability of the guest substances and their sustained-release effect in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby improving their bioavailability.

[0035] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0036] This invention provides a method for preparing a natural cassava cell wall delivery carrier. The method involves separating intact cassava cells using pectinase and regulating cell wall permeability through hydrothermal treatment to ensure amylase can pass through the cell wall while minimizing cell wall damage. Then, digestive enzymes are used to enzymatically hydrolyze intracellular starch, resulting in a hollow cell wall with an intact cell wall structure. The resulting product can be loaded with bioactive guest molecules, enhancing the stability of the guest substances and their sustained-release effect in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby improving their bioavailability.
[0037] (1) This invention uses enzymatic separation of cassava whole cells, regulates cell wall permeability through heat treatment, and uses digestive enzymes to hydrolyze intracellular starch to obtain cassava cell walls with relatively complete cell wall structures. This product is a natural, safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable wall material.
[0038] (2) The cassava cell wall material prepared by the present invention has rigidity and strength and strong acid and alkali resistance due to the presence of polysaccharides such as cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin in the cell wall, which can enhance the stability of guest molecules.
[0039] (3) The cassava cell wall material prepared by the present invention can encapsulate guest molecules in the hollow structure of the cell wall and enhance the encapsulation rate by using high pressure reaction, thereby increasing its drug loading capacity and reducing the burden of the wall material on gastrointestinal digestion.
[0040] (4) In this invention, due to the physical barrier effect of the cell wall, the guest molecules can have a slow release effect during the gastrointestinal digestion process, which improves their bioavailability. Moreover, the cell wall components are degraded by microorganisms in the colon as dietary fiber, which regulates the intestinal microorganisms and promotes intestinal health.

It should be understood that the embodiments are for better explanation of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. In the following embodiments and comparative examples, curcumin is selected as the representative guest molecule to illustrate the advantages of the present invention.

The volume was brought to 1 L with water, and the pH was adjusted to 6.5 with 0.1 mol / L NaOH to obtain simulated intestinal juice. 5.00 mg of sample was dispersed in 5 mL of gastric and intestinal juices, placed in a dialysis bag, and immersed in 200 mL of dialysis fluid. The curcumin release was measured every 0.5 h. The curcumin release was determined by measuring the absorbance of 2 mL of the supernatant at 425 nm using a UV spectrophotometer.
[0053] Raw materials used in the examples:
[0054] Cassava was purchased from Guangxi Kangyi Ecological Agriculture Development Co., Ltd.
[0055] Example 1: Preparation of cassava cell wall delivery carrier
[0056] The steps for preparing the cassava cell wall delivery vector are as follows:
[0057] (1) Whole-cell isolation of cassava: Peel and wash the cassava, cut it into pieces (3mm×3mm), and soak it in water; dissolve pectinase in citrate buffer (0.1M pH=3.5) to prepare 1U / mL enzymatic hydrolysate, and add 5% w / v ascorbic acid, activate at 50℃ for 0.5h to prepare preheated activated enzymatic hydrolysate; add cassava pieces to the preheated activated enzymatic hydrolysate, with a material-to-liquid ratio of 1kg:8L, and stir continuously at 50℃ (100rpm) for 2h to prepare enzymatically isolated cassava samples;
[0058] (2) Cassava whole cell sieving: The cassava sample prepared in step (1) after enzymatic hydrolysis and separation was rinsed with running water and the cells were sieved through a double-layer sieve. The first layer of the sieve had a pore size of 250 μm and the second layer of the sieve had a pore size of 75 μm. The sample was rinsed with running water 5 times and the cassava whole cells separated on the second layer of the sieve were collected. The cassava whole cell sample had a water content of 75%.
[0059] (3) Cell wall permeability regulation: The water-containing cassava whole cell sample obtained in step (2) was incubated at 70℃ for 3 min to regulate cell permeability and ensure that the amylase could enzymatically hydrolyze intracellular starch through the cell wall to prepare a cassava whole cell sample after cell wall regulation (because the water content of the cells was high before incubation, the cassava whole cell sample after incubation was in solution form).
[0060] (4) Preparation of hollow cell walls: The cassava whole cell samples with cell walls regulated in step (3) were dispersed in sodium acetate (0.1M pH=5.2) buffer at a volume ratio of 1:5, and amyloglucosidase (final enzyme concentration of 5U / mL) was added. The mixture was incubated at 37℃ for 30 min to enzymatically hydrolyze intracellular starch, and 90% ethanol was added to terminate the reaction.
[0061] (5) Centrifugation and dehydration: Centrifuge the product obtained in step (4) at 5000 rpm for 15 min, discard the supernatant, and wash it three times with distilled water to prepare the cell wall;
[0062] (6) Curcumin loading: The cell wall prepared in step (5) was dispersed in water to prepare a 10% w / v cell wall suspension; curcumin was dissolved in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a 10% w / v curcumin-ethanol solution, which was added to the uniformly dispersed cell wall suspension, wherein the ratio of curcumin to cell wall was 1:1 (dry matter weight ratio), and placed in a high-pressure reactor to accelerate the encapsulation efficiency of the cell wall on the guest substance. The reaction pressure was 1 MPa, the temperature was 20℃, the reaction speed was 80 rpm, and the reaction time was 0.5 h; after the reaction was completed, the supernatant was removed by centrifugation (to remove liquid and free curcumin), and the precipitate was freeze-dried to prepare a cassava cell wall loaded with curcumin (curcumin cassava cell wall delivery carrier).
[0063] Microscopic examination of the cell walls of whole cassava cells and those after enzymatic starch hydrolysis yielded the following results: Figure 1 As shown.
[0064] The results showed that hollow cell walls with intact cell wall structures could be obtained by sieving cassava tubers with pectinase, regulating cell wall permeability through hydrothermal treatment, and hydrolyzing intracellular starch with digestive enzymes.
[0065] Example 2: Preparation of cassava cell wall delivery carrier
[0066] Based on Example 1, step (1) was modified as follows: pectinase was dissolved in citrate buffer (0.1M pH=3.5) to prepare a 5U / mL enzymatic hydrolysate, and 3% w / v ascorbic acid was added. The hydrolysate was activated at 45℃ for 1h to obtain a preheated and activated enzymatic hydrolysate. Cassava chunks were added to the preheated and activated enzymatic hydrolysate at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1kg:10L. The hydrolysate was stirred continuously at 50℃ (100rpm) for 2h to obtain an enzymatically separated cassava sample. The remaining steps were the same as in Example 1 to obtain a cassava cell wall loaded with curcumin.
[0067] Example 3: Preparation of cassava cell wall delivery carrier
[0068] Based on Example 1, step (3) is changed to: the whole cassava cell sample obtained in step (2) is incubated at 75°C for 2 min, and the remaining steps are the same as in Example 1, so as to prepare cassava cell wall loaded with curcumin.
[0069] Example 4: Preparation of cassava cell wall delivery carrier
[0070] Based on Example 1, step (4) is changed as follows: the whole cassava cell sample with cell wall regulation prepared in step (3) is dispersed in sodium acetate (0.1M pH=5.2) buffer at a volume ratio of 1:8, amyloglucosidase (final concentration of enzyme is 8U / mL) is added, and the mixture is incubated at 37℃ for 15 min to enzymatically hydrolyze intracellular starch. 90% ethanol is added to terminate the reaction.
[0071] Example 5: Preparation of cassava cell wall delivery carrier
[0072] Based on Example 1, step (6) was modified as follows: the cell wall prepared in step (5) was dispersed in water to prepare a 15% w / v cell wall suspension; curcumin was dissolved in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a 15% w / v curcumin-ethanol solution, which was added to the uniformly dispersed cell wall suspension, wherein the ratio of curcumin to cell wall was 1:1 (dry weight ratio). The mixture was placed in a high-pressure reactor to accelerate the encapsulation efficiency of the cell wall on the guest substance. The reaction pressure was 3 MPa, the temperature was 25°C, the reaction speed was 100 rpm, and the reaction time was 1 h. After the reaction, the supernatant was removed by centrifugation (to remove liquid and free curcumin), and the precipitate was freeze-dried to prepare cassava cell walls loaded with curcumin (curcumin cassava cell wall delivery carrier). Comparative Example 1: Preparation of curcumin microcapsules by conventional method
[0073] Curcumin microcapsules were prepared using a common spray drying method, with starch as a carrier for encapsulating curcumin. The steps are as follows:
[0074] Prepare a 10% w / v starch solution, boil it in a water bath for 10 min and cool it for later use. Prepare a 30% w / v curcumin-ethanol solution. Mix the curcumin-ethanol solution with the starch solution, wherein the mass ratio of curcumin to starch is 1:1 (dry matter weight ratio). Stir continuously at room temperature for 2 h. The uniformly mixed solution is spray-dried to obtain curcumin microcapsules.
[0075] When analyzing drug loading and encapsulation efficiency, the samples were washed with anhydrous ethanol to remove free curcumin from the surface.
[0076] Comparative Example 2: Crushed whole-cell cassava
[0077] Based on Example 1, the whole cassava cell sample collected in step (2) was broken in a cell wall breaker for 20 seconds to obtain broken whole cassava cells. The remaining steps were the same as in Example 1 to prepare broken cassava cell walls loaded with curcumin.
[0078] Comparative Example 3: Adjusting cell wall permeability to regulate treatment temperature
[0079] Based on Example 1, the treatment conditions for step (3) were: incubation at 90°C for 20 min, and the remaining steps were the same as in Example 1, to prepare cassava cell walls loaded with curcumin.
[0080] Tests showed that the starch granules in the whole cassava cells prepared in this comparative example completely absorbed water and swelled. The cell wall pores enlarged under the expansion pressure, which increased the cell wall permeability. The loading efficiency and sustained-release effect of curcumin were analyzed.
[0081] Comparative Example 4: Omission of Cell Wall Permeability Regulation
[0082] Based on Example 1, step (3) is omitted, and the remaining steps are the same as in Example 1, to prepare complete cassava whole cells loaded with curcumin.
[0083] Comparative Example 5: Changing the conditions of starch enzymatic hydrolysis
[0084] Based on Example 1, step (4) was modified as follows: the whole cassava cell sample with cell wall regulation prepared in step (3) was dispersed in sodium acetate (0.1M pH=5.2) buffer at a volume ratio of 1:10, amyloglucosidase (final enzyme concentration of 0.5U / mL) was added, and the mixture was incubated at 37℃ for 5 min to enzymatically hydrolyze intracellular starch. 90% ethanol was added to terminate the reaction. The remaining steps were the same as in Example 1, and starch-containing cassava cell walls loaded with curcumin were prepared.
[0085] Comparative Example 6: No high-voltage auxiliary power used
[0086] Based on Example 1, step (6) is modified as follows: the cell wall prepared in step (5) is dispersed in water to prepare a 10% w / v cell wall suspension; curcumin is dissolved in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a 10% w / v curcumin-ethanol solution, which is added to the uniformly dispersed cell wall suspension, wherein the ratio of curcumin to cell wall is 1:1 (dry matter weight ratio), magnetically stirred for 1 h, centrifuged to remove the supernatant (to remove liquid and free curcumin), and the precipitate is freeze-dried to prepare a cassava cell wall loaded with curcumin (curcumin cassava cell wall delivery carrier).
[0087] Example 6: Detection of the release curve of curcumin cassava cell wall delivery carrier
[0088] Using commercially available curcumin raw material (Comparative Example 7) as a control, the drug loading and encapsulation efficiency of cassava cell walls loaded with curcumin prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-7, as well as the release curves in simulated intestinal and gastric fluids, were determined.
[0089] Table 1 Results of drug loading and encapsulation efficiency determination
[0090]
[0091]
[0092] The results of drug loading and encapsulation efficiency measurements are shown in Table 1. Comparative Example 6 and Example 1 show that high pressure can increase the drug loading of the cell wall. Comparative Example 4 and Example 1 show that cell wall permeability regulation is crucial for subsequent enzyme entry and starch hydrolysis within the cells. Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 show that broken cassava cells have poor drug encapsulation effects. Comparative Examples 5, 3, and the Example show that parameters used in cell wall preparation also affect the final drug encapsulation. Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 show that compared to conventional starch-based carriers, the drug loading of the cell wall increased from 16.57% to 30%–40%, significantly improving the drug loading. The commercially available raw material is pure curcumin (Comparative Example 7), which releases too quickly in the gastrointestinal tract and fails to achieve a sustained-release effect.
[0093] The results of the simulated gastric and small intestinal fluid release curves are as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown in Tables 2 and 3, the results indicate that, as demonstrated by Comparative Example 6 and Example 1, high pressure assistance can achieve the loading of phenolic substances, delay their release in the gastrointestinal tract, and improve their bioavailability in vivo. The drug loading in Examples 1 to 5 is significantly increased, and excessively low cell permeability (Comparative Example 4), excessively high cell permeability (Comparative Example 3), and cell wall disruption (Comparative Example 2) all lead to a decrease in drug loading and loading rate.
[0094] Compared with the original curcumin, the curcumin loaded on the cassava cell wall has a significant sustained-release effect in simulated gastric and intestinal juices, and can continue to release curcumin even after 6 hours of reaction. In addition, the product of this invention avoids the use of chemical reagents and has the advantages of natural environmental protection. This product can be used as an ingredient in special dietary foods and can be widely used in special dietary foods with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism.
