Chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) are under increasing investigation for the delivery of therapeutic proteins, such as vaccines, interferons, and biologics. A large number of studies have been taken on the characteristics of CS-NPs, and very few of these studies have focused on the microstructure of protein-loaded NPs. In this study, we prepared the CS-NPs by an ionic gelation method, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a model protein. Dynamic high pressure microfluidization (DHPM) was utilized to post-treat the nanoparticles so as to improve the uniformity, repeatability and controllability. The BSA-loaded NPs were then characterized for particle size,Zetapotential, morphology, encapsulation efficiency (EE), loading capacity (LC), and subsequent release kinetics. To improve the long-term stability of NPs, trehalose, glucose, sucrose, and mannitol were selected respectively to investigate the performance as a cryoprotectant. Furthermore, trehalose was used to obtain re-dispersible lyophilized NPs that can significantly reduce the dosage of cryoprotectants. Multiple spectroscopic techniques were used to characterize BSA-loaded NPs, in order to explain the release process of the NPs in vitro. The experimental results indicated that CS and Tripolyphosphate pentasodium (TPP) spontaneously formed the basic skeleton of the NPs through electrostatic interactions. BSA was incorporated in the basic skeleton, adsorbed on the surface of the NPs (some of which were inlaid on the NPs), without any change in structure and function. The release profiles of the NPs showed high consistency with the multispectral results.Keywords:characteristics;cryoprotection evaluation;dynamic high pressure microfluidization;chitosan nanoparticles

In this study, tomato juice was processed using both dynamic high-pressure microfluidization (DHPM) and thermal processing (TP) to investigate their effects on the quality and volatile components of not-from-concentrate (NFC) tomato juice. Both DHPM (400 MPa, 25 ℃) and TP (95 ℃, 3 min) achieved sterilization and improved the brightness of the juice. TP resulted in severe loss of ascorbic acid with only 49 % retention. Significant color change after TP (ΔE = 1.62), and severe browning. DHPM treatment and TP reduced the acidity of tomato juice by 26.67 % and 22.67 %, respectively. DHPM improved tomato juice stability, and the D [3,4] and turbidity of the tomato juice decreased from 98.1 to 21.2 μm and from 55.64 to 24.58 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU), respectively. The identification of volatile components in tomato juice by gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) showed that the content of 37 volatile components in tomato juice increased after DHPM treatment. The contents of 2-furanmethanol and 2-ethylpyrazine, the off-flavor compounds of the cooking flavor, increased more after TP. The characteristic aroma of tomato, 2-phenylacetaldehyde, increased after processing. The study results provide basic theoretical data for tomato juice processing.

This study aimed to compare the extraction efficiency of dynamic high pressure microfluidization-assisted extraction (DHPMAE) and other commonly used extraction methods on the antioxidant activities (AAs) of sweet potato leaves ( Ipomoea batatas L., SPL), and to identify the antioxidant compounds by HPLC-QTOF-MS 2 . Two highly consumed commercial varieties, orange-fleshed and cream-fleshed sweet potato leaves (OFL and CFL), were taken as materials. OFL was evidenced to be a better antioxidants resource than CFL due to higher polyphenols and AAs. DHPMAE had the best extraction efficiency on total phenolics and total flavonoids , with the values in OFL extract at 16.35 mg GAE/g DM and 16.51 mg RE/g DM, respectively. DHPMAE extract also exhibited the strongest DPPH· and ABTS· + scavenging ability, chelating ability and reducing power. Multiple regression analysis revealed that polyphenols played an important contribution to the AAs of SPL extracts. After successive fractionation of DHPMAE extract by chloroform, ethyl acetate, and n -butanol, the ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest total phenolic (569.38 mg GAE/g Extract) and total flavonoid (43.15 mg RE/g Extract) content, as well as the highest AAs. HPLC-QTOF-MS 2 analysis of the ethyl acetate fraction resulted in identifying 37 compounds including 20 phenolic acids , 12 flavonoids, 3 organic acids, 1 nucleoside and 1 ester, and 20 of them were firstly detected in SPL. Caffeoylquinic acid derivatives and flavonoids were the most abundant antioxidant compounds. The presented results suggested that DHPM might be a promising assisted technology in extracting polyphenols from plants, and SPL could be utilized for the development of functional food.

The application of dynamic high-pressure microfluidization (DHPM) provides interesting modifications in food structures. However, the effects of DHPM on the structural and rheological properties of rapeseed protein isolate (RPI) were scarcely investigated. In this study, the average hydrodynamic size of RPI treated by DHPM significantly declined from 239.2 nm to 170 nm with the pressure and time rising to 60 MPa and 2 min. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis found that DHPM did not affect the molecular mass of the RPI. The changes in the intrinsic fluorescence and circular dichroism spectra showed that tertiary and secondary structures of RPI were altered, as proved by the higher fluorescence intensity and greater conversion of random coils and β-sheets into α-helices compared with the control (unprocessed RPI). The spatial unfolding of the RPI structure and the dissociation of chemical bonds influenced its rheological behavior. All RPI suspensions (15%, w / v ) processed by DHPM had lower apparent viscosity, moduli, higher gelling temperature (up to 69.7 °C) than control, and the differences in rheological performance were closely dependent on the treatment pressure and time. In conclusion, through this study of the effects of DHPM on RPI, DHPM was shown to be a potential method for modifying proteins and reducing the consistency of high-protein fluid foods .

In the domain of infant nutrition, optimizing the absorption of crucial nutrients such as vitamin D 3 (VD 3 ) is paramount. This study harnessed dynamic-high-pressure microfluidization (DHPM) on soybean protein isolate (SPI) to engineer SPI-VD 3 nanoparticles for fortifying yogurt. Characterized by notable binding affinity ( K a = 0.166 × 10 5 L·mol −1 ) at 80 MPa and significant surface hydrophobicity ( H 0 = 3494), these nanoparticles demonstrated promising attributes through molecular simulations. During simulated infant digestion, the 80 MPa DHPM-treated nanoparticles showcased an impressive 74.4% VD 3 bioaccessibility, delineating the pivotal roles of hydrophobicity, bioaccessibility, and micellization dynamics. Noteworthy was their traversal through the gastrointestinal tract, illuminating bile salts' crucial function in facilitating VD 3 re-encapsulation, thereby mitigating crystallization and augmenting absorption. Moreover, DHPM treatment imparted enhancements in nanoparticle integrity and hydrophobic properties, consequently amplifying VD 3 bioavailability. This investigation underscores the potential of SPI-VD 3 nanoparticles in bolstering VD 3 absorption, thereby furnishing invaluable insights for tailored infant nutrition formulations.

Effects of dynamic high pressure microfluidization (DHPM), microwave, ultrasound, maceration and high temperature, on the phenolic acids and antioxidant activity of Artemisia selengensis Turcz (AST) were investigated. Microwave exhibited the best extraction efficacy on phenolic compounds and flavonoids with the content of 40.30 μg GAE/mg Extract, and 37.75 μg RTE/mg Extract, respectively. Microwave extract (MWE) also showed the strongest DPPH· and HO· scavenging ability (IC 50 value of 0.23 and 0.50 mg/mL, respectively), and reducing power (Ab 0.3 value of 0.23 mg/mL). Quinic acid, 3 caffeoylquinic acids (CQAs), 2 coumaroylquinic acids, 4 dicaffeoylquinic acids (diCQAs) were identified as the major phenolic acids in AST using HPLC-QTOF-MS/MS, and 3-CQA (63.71 μg/mL) showed the highest content followed by 1,5-diCQA (17.91 μg/mL) and 3,5-diCQA (13.50 μg/mL). MWE had the highest 3-CQA and diCQAs. While, high temperature could promote the degradation of diCQAs, 3- and 4-caffeoyl are more liable to decompose as compared with 1- and 5-caffeoyl. Practical Application Over production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in body will induce various chronic diseases. AST is an underutilized vegetable with many health benefits. This research indicates that AST possessed appreciating antioxidant activities and abundant phenolic acids, it is could be a potentail antioxidants resource and for prevention of chronic diseases associated with ROS. It also suggested that microwave could be a promising method for extracting the antioxidants in AST. Therefore, this research could lay a foundation for the high-value application of AST in food, health care and natural therapy industry, and provide some methodological references for the development of antioxidants in AST.
