Sea salts flavored with mediterranean herbs and fruits prevent cholesterol and phospholipid membrane oxidation and cell free radical generation
Abstract We evaluated and compared, with respect to normal salt, the antioxidant activity of commercial sea salts flavored with Mediterranean herbs and fruits in chemical models of lipid peroxidation and in cell cultures. Salts flavored with myrtle, rosemary, and a mixture of herbs/plants preserved liposomes from Cu2+‐induced oxidation. Methanol extracts obtained from all flavored sea salts significantly reduced the reactive oxygen species generation in Caco‐2 cells, while extracts obtained from myrtle, rosemary and mixed herbs/plants salts prevented cholesterol oxidative degradation (140 °C). 1H NMR spectroscopy led ...

Influence of high pressure homogenization on free fatty acid formation in Nannochloropsis sp
In this study, the HPH pressure and number of passes were varied in a full factorial design to study the impact of these factors on FFA formation, lipid extraction efficiency and fatty acid profile.It was found that substantial amounts of FFA were formed during HPH treatments when compared to the non‐disrupted biomass. The FFA formation was mostly influenced by the number of passes applied, which can explained by a combined effect of the longer time residing as a wet paste and the temperature increase during the treatment. The large amount of FFA formed during the least intensive HPH treatment is in contrast with only a ...

Phospholipid complex of ICA and ICAII prepared by wet media milling for improving bioavailability
Abstract In order to enhance the lipophilicity and thus oral bioavailability of Icariin (ICA) and Icariside II (ICA II) of Total Flavonoids of Epimedium (TFE), a Total Flavonoids of Epimedium‐phospholipid complex (TFE–PLC) was prepared by wet media milling. The stabilizers Aerosi and SDS were used to formulate TFE‐PLC nanosuspensions (TFE‐PLC‐Ns) to improve the dispersion of TFE‐PLC. FTIR and DSC data confirmed the formation of TFE–PLC. The oil solubility of ICA and ICAII in the complex in octanol was improved nearly 4 times over that in TFE. The logP of ICA in TFE‐PLC was significantly increased with a val...

Recent advances in metabolic engineering of Yarrowia lipolytica for lipid overproduction
Abstract The non‐conventional yeast Yarrowia lipolytica has been receiving growing attention due to its excellent lipid accumulation capacity. Microbial lipid has attracted widespread interest due to their broad applications as dietary supplements, cosmetic additives, oleochemicals and renewable starting materials for the production of fossil fuel. With the development of whole‐genome sequencing, many effective genetic tools, including transformation systems, promoter systems, genomic integration and genome editing tools, have been applied in Y. lipolytica to enhance the overproduction of lipid. It can be genetically e...

Properties of liposomes containing natural and synthetic lipids formed by microfluidic mixing
Abstract Vesicle formation by a staggered herringbone microfluidic mixer was investigated in comparison to a sonication‐extrusion method. Experiments focused on the incorporation efficiency of lipid components, on dye entrapment efficiency, and on the barrier properties of the vesicle bilayers produced. The microfluidic method produces vesicles largely under the control of thermodynamic factors. As a result, the molecular parameters of the lipids(chain length, chain volume, head group area) directly control vesicle diameter. A hydrophobic branched chain sulfonate lipid was incorporated by microfluidic mixing but not by s...
