Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the interdisciplinary field of food science and biomedical applications, and specifically to a polyphenol-mediated high internal phase Pickering emulsion, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] With social development and the continuous improvement of living standards, basic sustenance foods can no longer meet people's basic needs. A nutritious diet is gradually becoming the dietary concept of modern people, in which food functional factors play a significant role. Food functional factors include amino acids, polypeptides, proteins, functional lipids, polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, terpenes, polyphenols, carotenoids, flavonoids, probiotics, minerals, and vitamins. These are substances that regulate human functions by activating enzyme activity or through other pathways, and are the truly physiologically active components in functional foods. However, due to their diverse types, varying chemical compositions and functions, they not only provide basic nutrition but also offer additional health benefits. Furthermore, they play a crucial role in improving food quality, regulating physiological functions, preventing diseases, and controlling human health. Therefore, the research and application of food functional factors are receiving increasing attention.

[0003] However, food functional ingredients also face many challenges in application, such as poor solubility, poor stability, low bioavailability, and susceptibility to factors like oxygen, pH, enzymes, and metal ions. Therefore, despite their enormous potential in promoting health, food functional ingredients still face numerous challenges in practical application.

[0004] Emulsion delivery systems can be used to encapsulate, transport, and release bioactive substances, and are widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Studies have found that high-internal-phase Pickering emulsions offer higher loading capacity and bioavailability for delivering functional food ingredients compared to traditional emulsions, and show great promise in the development of nutrient-containing drugs and fortified foods. As a novel type of emulsion, it possesses advantages such as high stability, good safety, excellent biocompatibility, and resistance to Oswald ripening.

[0005] However, the stability of high internal phase Pickering emulsions depends on the type and properties of the particle stabilizer. Currently available solid particles are divided into inorganic and organic solid particles. Inorganic particles mainly include modified silica, hydroxyapatite, titanium dioxide particles, graphene, and zinc oxide. Although the stability of high internal phase Pickering emulsions stabilized by inorganic particles is improved, their poor biocompatibility limits their application in biomedicine, food, and other fields. Biologically derived solid particles have advantages such as environmental friendliness, renewability, and biodegradability, and are mainly divided into polysaccharide particles, protein particles, and composite particles. Composite particles have better emulsifying properties and stronger steric stability than single particles. For example, Chinese patent CN114672318A discloses a tea polyphenol nanoparticle-stabilized Pickering emulsion and its preparation method, using polyphenols as a stabilizer to prepare the Pickering emulsion. However, polyphenols are damaged by high temperature, oxygen, and radiation during processing or storage, resulting in poor stability and limiting their application in food, biomedicine, and other fields. Polyphenol stability is generally improved by covalently or non-covalently binding polyphenols with polysaccharides or proteins to form stable particles. However, non-covalent binding may affect the bioactivity of polyphenols, proteins, and polysaccharides, causing them to lose their original functions. Most covalent binding methods require high reaction conditions, such as high temperature, high pressure, strong acid, and strong alkali, which may damage the structure and function of proteins or polysaccharides. Improper covalent binding may even produce toxic substances, posing potential risks to human health. Summary of the Invention

[0006] [Technical Issues]

[0007] Nanoparticle solids used to stabilize high internal phase Pickering emulsions have limitations such as safety concerns and poor biocompatibility. Polyphenols, as stabilizers of high internal phase Pickering emulsions, suffer from poor chemical stability and low solubility in gastrointestinal fluids, resulting in extremely low oral bioavailability of only about 1%-5%, due to their susceptibility to decomposition under heat, oxygen, and light. Therefore, a method is needed to enhance the functional properties of polyphenols and prepare safe and effective high internal phase Pickering emulsion stabilizers by complexing them with other biopolymers, thereby effectively improving the stability and bioavailability of high internal phase Pickering emulsions.

[0056] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. However, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific conditions and details in the following embodiments.

[0057] Example 1

[0058] A method for preparing a polyphenol-mediated high internal phase Pickering emulsion, the method comprising the following steps:

[0059] (1) Proanthocyanidin powder, vanillin, and arginine were dissolved in deionized water until completely dissolved. The three solutions were then mixed and magnetically stirred for 24 hours at room temperature in the dark to obtain a mixed system. The concentrations of the mixed proanthocyanidin solution were 2.5 mg / mL, the vanillin solution was 5 mg / mL, and the arginine solution was 2.5 mg / mL. The mixed system was imaged using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results are shown in the figure below. Figure 1 ;

[0060] (2) Centrifuge the mixture system in step (1), wash the precipitate obtained by centrifugation, and then freeze-dry the precipitate for 24 hours to obtain proanthocyanidin nanoparticle solids; wherein, the centrifugation force is 10000 rpm, centrifuge twice, each time for 5 min; the washing conditions are washing with deionized water 3 times; the freeze-drying conditions are vacuum pressure of 15 Pa and temperature of -50℃.

[0061] (3) The proanthocyanidin nanoparticle solid obtained in step (2) was added to deionized water to obtain a proanthocyanidin nanoparticle suspension, and mixed with soybean oil. The sample was dispersed at 10,000 rpm for 2 min in a high-speed disperser to obtain a high internal phase Pickering emulsion. The concentration of the proanthocyanidin nanoparticle suspension was 4.5% (w / v, mg / ml), and the oil phase volume ratio of soybean oil was 75%.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] The only difference from Example 1 is that the concentration of the proanthocyanidin nanoparticle suspension in step (3) was adjusted to 0.5% (w / v, mg / ml), 1.0% (w / v, mg / ml), 2.0% (w / v, mg / ml), 3.0% (w / v, mg / ml), and 4.0% (w / v, mg / ml) to prepare a proanthocyanidin-mediated high internal phase Pickering emulsion.

[0064] Example 3

[0065] The only difference from Example 1 is that the volume percentage of the soybean oil phase in step (3) is adjusted to 76%, 77%, 78%, 79% and 80% respectively, to obtain high internal phase Pickering emulsions with different oil phase volume percentages mediated by proanthocyanidins.

[0066] Comparative Example 1

[0067] The only difference from Example 1 is that step (1) omits the use of vanillin; all other parameters and conditions are the same as in Example 1. Results are shown in... Figure 1 ;

[0068] Depend on Figure 1The results show that the high internal phase Pickering emulsion stabilized by proanthocyanidin nanoparticles without vanillin has poor stability and oil-water separation. Obviously, nanoparticles without vanillin are insufficient to stabilize high internal phase Pickering emulsions.

[0069] Results Analysis

[0070] 1. The mixed system prepared in Example 1 was imaged using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Figure 2 The SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) results show that the proanthocyanidin nanoparticles are tightly bound and spherical with mostly smooth surfaces, indicating that the proanthocyanidin nanoparticles were successfully prepared.

[0071] 2. Macroscopic analysis of Pickering emulsions with different concentrations of proanthocyanidin nanoparticles before and after inversion is shown in the figure. Figure 3 ;

[0072] The results in the figure show that the concentration of proanthocyanidin nanoparticles determines the semi-solid gel stability of the high internal phase Pickering emulsion. Obviously, too low a concentration of nanoparticles is insufficient to stabilize the high internal phase Pickering emulsion. When the concentration of proanthocyanidin nanoparticles is 4-4.5% (w / v, mg / ml), it can maintain good stability; especially when the concentration of proanthocyanidin nanoparticles is 4.5% (w / v, mg / ml), the stability is even better.

[0073] 3. Macroscopic analysis diagrams and SEM images of high internal phase Pickering emulsions with different oil phase volume ratios mediated by proanthocyanidins before and after inversion were obtained. The results are as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 ;

[0074] Depend on Figure 4 The results show that the volume percentage of the oil phase affects the semi-solid gel stability of Pickering emulsions with high internal phase content. Figure 4 As can be seen, when the oil phase volume percentage is 80%, significant macroscopic phase separation occurs in the emulsion system, making it impossible to successfully construct a stable high-internal-phase Pickering emulsion. Figure 5 It can be seen that in the 75%-77% oil phase volume ratio, the solid particles do not completely encapsulate the emulsion droplets, and a small number of particles are free in the dispersed phase; in the 78%-80% oil phase volume ratio, the emulsion droplets have a rougher shape, indicating that they are completely encapsulated by solid particles, but the particle size of the emulsion droplets in the 79% and 80% is larger than that in the 78% ratio.

[0075] Example 4

[0076] A method for preparing a high-internal-phase Pickering emulsion loaded with food functional factors, the method comprising the following steps:

[0077] (1) Dissolve proanthocyanidin powder, vanillin and arginine in deionized water until completely dissolved, then mix the three solutions and stir magnetically for 24 hours at room temperature in the dark to obtain a mixed system; wherein, the concentration of proanthocyanidin solution after mixing is 2.5 mg / mL, the concentration of vanillin solution is 5 mg / mL and the concentration of arginine solution is 2.5 mg / mL.

[0078] (2) Centrifuge the mixture system in step (1), wash the precipitate obtained by centrifugation, and then freeze-dry the precipitate for 24 hours to obtain proanthocyanidin nanoparticle solids; wherein, the centrifugation force is 10000 rpm, centrifuge twice, each time for 5 min; the washing conditions are washing with deionized water 3 times; the freeze-drying conditions are vacuum pressure of 15 Pa and temperature of -50℃.

[0079] (3) Dissolve astaxanthin in soybean oil and stir magnetically overnight at room temperature in the dark to obtain soybean oil containing astaxanthin. Centrifuge to remove insoluble impurities. The astaxanthin concentration is 1 mg / mL. The magnetic stirring speed is 500 rpm, and the centrifugation conditions are 10,000 rpm for 10 min.

[0080] (4) Add the proanthocyanidin nanoparticle solid obtained in step (2) to deionized water to obtain a proanthocyanidin nanoparticle suspension, and mix it with the soybean oil containing astaxanthin obtained in step (3). Disperse the sample at 10,000 rpm for 2 min in a high-speed disperser to obtain a high internal phase Pickering emulsion loaded with astaxanthin. The concentration of the proanthocyanidin nanoparticle suspension is 45 mg / mL, and the volume ratio of the soybean oil phase containing astaxanthin is 75% to 80%.

[0081] Results Analysis

[0082] 1. The performance of the astaxanthin-loaded high internal phase Pickering emulsion prepared in Example 4 was analyzed, and the results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown. By Figure 6 The results showed that the loading rate and encapsulation efficiency of astaxanthin were best when the soybean oil oil phase volume ratio was 78%, with a loading rate of 0.804 mg / mL and an encapsulation efficiency of 83.33%. However, the loading rate decreased when the oil phase volume ratio exceeded 78%. The high loading rate and encapsulation efficiency of the high internal phase Pickering emulsion are attributed to the high viscosity of the 78% oil phase volume ratio Pickering emulsion, which allows for the loading and encapsulation of a large amount of astaxanthin with a small amount of emulsion.

[0083] 2. The stability of the astaxanthin-loaded high internal phase Pickering emulsion prepared in Example 4 was analyzed, and the results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown;

[0084] Astaxanthin loaded into soybean oil was used as a blank control group. Figure 7 Soybean oil containing dissolved astaxanthin was reddish-brown, while the astaxanthin-loaded, high-internal-phase Pickering emulsion mediated by proanthocyanidin nanoparticles was light brown. This is because the aqueous phase in the emulsion diluted the astaxanthin, causing it to lighten in color. After 28 days of storage, the astaxanthin in pure soybean oil lightened in color, indicating that it had degraded. However, the color of the astaxanthin-loaded high-internal-phase Pickering emulsion remained largely unchanged in the 75%-78% oil phase. Beyond 78% of the oil phase, the emulsion color changed significantly, indicating that the high-internal-phase Pickering emulsion mediated by proanthocyanidins in the oil phase of 78% (inclusive) or less provides good protection for astaxanthin. Figure 7 Tables B and 1 show that the retention rate of the 78% astaxanthin-loaded high-internal-phase Pickering emulsion was approximately 1.5 times that of the blank control group after 28 days of storage. These results indicate that the 78% proanthocyanidin-mediated high-internal-phase Pickering emulsion can significantly enhance the photostability and storage stability of astaxanthin.

[0085] Table 1. Astaxanthin Retention Rate

[0086]

[0087] 3. In vitro digestion analysis was performed on the Pickering emulsion loaded with astaxanthin, which had an oil phase volume ratio of 78% prepared in Example 4.

[0088] The emulsion, artificial saliva, simulated gastric juice, and simulated intestinal juice were preheated to 37°C before the experiment. The emulsion was then exposed to artificial saliva for 10 min, followed by the addition of simulated gastric juice. The pH was adjusted to 2.0 with HCl and incubated for 2 hours. After 2 hours, the pH was rapidly adjusted to 7.0 with NaOH and the emulsion was placed in simulated intestinal juice for 2 hours. Following this simulated in vitro digestion phase, images were obtained from optical microscopes. Figure 8 Significant changes were observed in emulsion droplets with a 78% oil phase fraction. In simulated saliva and gastric juice, the emulsion droplets maintained high stability despite a slight increase in size. Digestion and absorption of the emulsion primarily occurred in simulated intestinal juice. Under simulated intestinal juice conditions, a large number of emulsion droplets aggregated after 1 hour, and the number of droplets decreased significantly after 2 hours, but did not completely disappear at the end of digestion. These results indicate that high internal phase Pickering emulsions mediated by proanthocyanidin nanoparticles are a better carrier for delivering astaxanthin.

Any obvious modifications made to the invention by those skilled in the art based on existing common knowledge also fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
