This study prepares food-grade nanodiscs using Tween 80 and lecithin. Initially, the formation process of the nanodiscs was observed, starting with the transformation of the hollow vesicle structure of lecithin into a notched vesicle structure, followed by the development of solid core nanodiscs, and ultimately into a cylindrical structure. The results from ITC indicated that hydrophobic interaction was the primary driving force behind the self-assembly of the nanodiscs with the binding ratio of lecithin to Tween 80 being 10:1. Owing to curvature effects, lecithin self-assembled into planar regions, while Tween 80 self-assembled into the edge regions. In comparison to hydrated liposomes, nanodiscs exhibited a smaller size, along with significant changes in molecular ordering, surface hydrophobicity, and microenvironment polarity of the phospholipid bilayers. Additionally, nanodiscs demonstrated superior encapsulation properties. This study elucidated the self-assembly process and structure of nanodiscs using food-grade ingredients, emphasizing their potential as delivery systems for food applications.

Some glycoside drugs can be transported through intestinal glucose transporters (IGTs). The surfactants used in oral drug preparations can affect the function of transporter proteins. This study aimed to investigate the effect of commonly used surfactants, Poloxamer 188 and Tween 80, on the drug transport capacity of IGTs. Previous studies have shown that gastrodin is the optimal drug substrate for IGTs. Gastrodin was used as a probe drug to evaluate the effect of these two surfactants on intestinal absorption in SD rats through pharmacokinetic and in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion. Then, the effects of the two surfactants on the expression of glucose transporters and tight-junction proteins were examined using RT-PCR and western blotting. Additionally, the effect of surfactants on intestinal permeability was evaluated through hematoxylin-eosin staining. The results found that all experimental for Poloxamer 188 (0.5%, 2.0% and 8.0%) and Tween 80 (0.1% and 2.0%) were not significantly different from those of the blank group. However, the AUC (0-∞) of gastrodin increased by approximately 32% when 0.5% Tween 80 was used. The changes in IGT expression correlated with the intestinal absorption of gastrodin. A significant increase in the expression of IGTs was observed at 0.5% Tween 80. In conclusion, Poloxamer 188 had minimal effect on the drug transport capacity of IGTs within the recommended limits of use. However, the expression of IGTs increased in response to 0.5% Tween 80, which significantly enhanced the drug transport capacity of IGTs. However, 0.1% and 2.0% Tween 80 had no significant effect.

Chemotherapy is a conventional treatment for glioma, but its efficacy is greatly limited due to low blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability and lack of specificity. Herein, intelligent and tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive folic acid (FA) derivatives and mitochondria-targeting berberine (BBR) derivatives co-modified liposome coated with Tween 80 loading paclitaxel (PTX-Tween 80-BBR + FA-Lip) was constructed. Specifically speaking, liposomes modified by FA can be effectively target ed to glioma cells. BBR, due to its delocalized positive electricity and lipophilicity, can be attracted by mitochondrial membrane potential and concentrate on mitochondria to achieve mitochondrial targeting and induce cell apoptosis. By simultaneously modifying the liposome with FA and BBR to deliver drugs, leads to a good therapeutic effect of glioma through FA-based glioma targeting and BBR-based mitochondrial targeting. In addition, the surface of the liposome was coated with Tween 80 to further improve BBB penetration. All results exhibited that PTX-Tween 80-BBR + FA-Lip can observably improve the chemotherapy therapeutic efficacy through the highly specific tumor targeting and mitochondrial targeting, which can provide new ideas and methods for the targeted therapy of glioma.

The methods for the delivery of theranostic agents across the blood–brain barrier (BBB) are highly required. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) coated with PEG (poly(ethylene glycol)), PEI (poly(ethylene imine)), and Tween 80 (polysorbate 80) (Tween-SPIONs) were prepared. We demonstrate the effective passage of tail-vein-injected Tween-SPIONs across normal BBB in rats under an external magnetic field (EMF). The quantitative analyses show significant accumulation of SPIONs in the cortex near the magnet, with progressively lower accumulation in brain tissues far from the magnet. A transmission electron microscopy picture of an ultrathin section of the rat brain displays Tween-SPIONs crossing the BBB. The comparative study confirms that both the Tween-80 modification and EMF play crucial roles in the effective passage of SPIONs across the intact BBB. However, the magnetic force alone cannot drag the SPIONs coated with PEI/PEG polymers through the BBB. The results indicate the Tween-SPIONs cross the BBB via an active penetration facilitated by EMF. This work is encouraging for further study on the delivery of drug or diagnostic agents into the parenchyma of the brain for dealing with neurological disorders by using Tween-SPIONs carriers under EMF.

PEG and PEG/PEI modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were synthesized by the thermal decomposition of iron (III) acetylacetonate (Fe(acac) 3 ) in poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) containing poly (ethylene imine) (PEI) (0 or 0.3 g). PEG/PEI-SPIONs were coated with Tween 80 (PEG/PEI/Tween 80-SPIONs). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses indicated that PEG , PEG/PEI and PEG/PEI/Tween 80 were attached to the surfaces of the SPIONs. The PEG-SPIONs, PEG/PEI-SPIONs and PEG/PEI/Tween 80-SPIONs performed excellent colloidal stability in the phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and in deionized water with the mean hydrodynamic sizes of 19.5, 21.0, 24.0 nm and the zeta potentials of -5.0, 35.0, 19.0 mV, respectively. All the SPIONs showed low cytotoxicity assessed by the MTT assay. In vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the Kunming (KM) mouse brains were performed, the PEG-SPIONs, PEG/PEI-SPIONs and PEG/PEI/Tween 80-SPIONs exhibited vascular imaging effects in bulbus olfactorius, frontal cortex, temporal, thalamus and brain stem of the mouse brains after 24 h intravenous injection of the nanoparticles . The SPIONs have potentials as MRI contrast agents in the mouse brains.

The induced-formation of natural nanoparticles by photosensitive chemicals in aquatic environment may be a ubiquitous process, however, we still know very little on this issue. Here, we reported a potential original pathway for naturally-occurring gold nanoparticles (N-AuNPs) via the reduction of Au ions by photosensitive surfactant Tween 80/85 under light irradiation in the aquatic environment. The heterolytic reaction of hydroxyl groups in Tween 80/85 with the aid of UV light yielded radical anions (Tween 80/85-O •− ) and subsequently transferred electrons to oxygen to generate superoxide radicals (O 2 •− ), which reduced Au(III) to Au(0). The negatively charged Tween 80/85-O •− could bind to the surface of Au with coordinate bonds to form the surface coating of N-AuNPs. Due to the enhanced negative charge density, the Tween 80/85-induced N-AuNPs showed a higher colloidal stability than other N-AuNPs (induced by humic acid) or engineered AuNPs (E-AuNPs). The surface coating of Tween 80/85 might hinder the attachment and internalization of N-AuNPs into bacterial cells, and bacteria could also extend the utilization range of carbon sources substrates to mitigate the adverse effects of N-AuNPs. Therefore, Tween 80/85-induced N-AuNPs exhibited relative lower ecotoxicity but could stay in water for long periods of time. This study makes us more aware of the role of anthropogenic organic pollutants in the geochemical process of metal elements.

Poor water solubility is one of the main adverse factors for vitamin D 3 to be used as a fortifier in water-soluble food system. In this study, a phase transformation based nanoemulsion fabrication process was developed to encapsulate vitamin D 3 with Tween 80 and Span 80 as a composite surface-active surfactant (named as Vit D 3 NEs). The encapsulation efficiency of vitamin D 3 in resultant oil in water nanoemulsions reached 99.9%. The prepared Vit D 3 NEs was spherical with average particle size of 391.47 ± 12.89 nm, polydispersity index of 0.23–0.31, and endothermic temperature of 127.1 ℃. Results of FTIR indicated that hydrophobic, electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions were involved in Vit D 3 NEs fabrication. Compared to un-encapsulated Vit D 3 (bare Vit D 3 ), Vit D 3 NEs displayed higher stability under gastric digestion, and sustained release under intestinal digestion. The cumulative release of Vit D 3 reached 69% after 5 h of intestinal digestion. Further, Vit D 3 NEs demonstrated stronger thermal stability than the bare Vit D 3 at 40–60 °C, and the first-order kinetics was well fit to describe its thermal degradation . Our work suggests a new insight into the application of Vit D 3 NEs stabilized by Tween 80 and Span 80 in food industry.

Essential oils (EOs) are gaining great interest as alternatives to synthetic food preservatives due to their antimicrobial activity . However, EOs are hydrophobic and easy to evaporate. In this research, EOs were encapsulated in nanoemulsions with the aid of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD) to protect the ingredients and sustain the release, so as to exert long-term antibacterial effects. The influence of HPCD and its concentration on cinnamon essential oil (CEO) nanoemulsion formation, antibacterial activity , release property and stability was investigated. The results showed that HPCD reduced the particle size of nanoemulsion as the concentration of Tween 80 ranged from 2 to 4 g/L. However, HPCD addition showed adverse effect as the content of Tween 80 was 5 g/L. Antibacterial tests against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated that the addition of HPCD contributed to the increase of antimicrobial activity of CEO nanoemulsions and showed the best effect when the concentration of HPCD was 30 g/L. The release experiment proved the slow-release ability of HPCD, and showed that the cavity of HPCD helped to reduce the loss of CEO, thus delayed the release time and enhanced the antibacterial effect. Meanwhile, the use of HPCD contributed to the storage stability of the emulsion at 4, 25, and 40 °C, and the nanoemulsion remained stable during a storage period of 60 days.

The droplet and creaming stability of food emulsions stabilized by mixed emulsifiers is a research hotspot in the field of emulsions. In this work, we mainly explore the effect of pH change on the droplet and creaming stability of fish oil-loaded emulsions synergetically (Span 80 and SL) or competitively (Tween 80 and SDS) stabilized by gelatin/surfactant. The results demonstrate that initial droplet stability and droplet storage stability, and creaming stability of the pH-adjusted emulsions are dependent on both the adsorption ways of emulsifiers and the adjusted pH: (1) Competitively stabilized emulsions have more stable droplets than synergetically stabilized emulsions; (2) SDS-dominant competitively stabilized emulsions have more stable droplets than gelatin-dominant emulsions; (3) Basic pH-adjusted emulsions have more stable droplets than acidic pH-adjusted emulsions; (4) The synergetically stabilized emulsions at acidic pH have significantly higher creaming indexes than that at basic pH; and (5) The competitively stabilized emulsions have high or similar creaming indexes to that at acidic pH. Further, the mechanisms are proposed according to Stokes’ Law. This work will provide useful information to understand the interfacial properties of mixed emulsifiers in the food emulsions and promising application perspective for the development of food beverages including acidic and alkali beverages.

The effects of a Tween 80 and CaCl 2 mixture on the hypocholesterolemic activity of bile salt hydrolase (BSH)-active Lactobacillus casei F0422 were investigated in rats fed a cholesterol-rich diet for 3 weeks. This mixture significantly enhanced the hypocholesterolemic activity of strain F0422 in rats. The group administered drinking water supplemented with both strain F0422 and the Tween 80 and CaCl 2 mixture had significantly lower levels of total serum cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and total liver cholesterol than did the group administered drinking water supplemented only with strain F0422 or the Tween 80 and CaCl 2 mixture. The hypocholesterolemic activity of the combined strain F0422 and Tween 80 and CaCl 2 mixture was attributed to the increase in fecal bile acid excretion through enhancement of bile salt tolerance and BSH catalytic activity of strain F0422 by Tween 80 and up-regulation of the adhesion of strain F0422 to intestinal epithelial cells by CaCl 2 .

Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) are considered a new type of green separation system, but their low selectivity to target molecules limits their practical application. In this study, we used surfactant@MWCNT as an adjuvant to improve the selectivity of PEG/(NH4)2SO4 ATPS. The surfactants used include Triton X-100 (TX-100), Tween 80, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS), and bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate sodium salt (AOT). Nine aromatic compounds, including syringic acid, vanillin, tryptophan, phenylalanine, tyrosine, mandelic acid, theophylline, theobromine, and cephalexin, were selected as model extracts. The results showed that the use of the surfactant@MWCNT composite as an adjuvant significantly improved the selectivity of the ATPS toward syringic acid among the nine extracts. Moreover, the selectivity of the ATPS for syringic acid with the TX-100/MWCNT composite as the adjuvant is better than that with the Tween 80/MWCNT composite as the adjuvant, followed by that with the anionic surfactant/MWCNT composite as the adjuvant. The enhanced selectivity of ATPS by the surfactant/MWCNT composite is ascribed to the spatial effect and the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between the extract and the surfactant adsorbed on the MWCNT.
