As a functional polysaccharide, inulin was carboxymethylated and it formed nanocomplexes with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The success of obtaining carboxymethyl inulin (CMI) was confirmed by a combination of Fourier transform Infrared (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and titration. The effects of pH and ionic strength on the formation of CMI/BSA nanocomplexes were investigated. Our results showed that the formation of complex coacervate (pHφ1) and dissolution of CMI/BSA insoluble complexes (pHφ2) appeared in pH near 4.85 and 2.00 respectively. FT-IR and Raman data confirmed the existence of electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding between CMI and BSA. The isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) results suggested that the process of complex formation was spontaneous and exothermic. The complexation was dominated by enthalpy changes (∆Η < 0, ∆S < 0) at pH 4.00, while it was contributed by enthalpic and entropic changes (∆Η < 0, ∆S > 0) at pH 2.60. Irregularly shaped insoluble complexes and globular soluble nanocomplexes (about 150 nm) were observed in CMI/BSA complexes at pH 4.00 and 2.60 while using optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy, respectively. The sodium chloride suppression effect on CMI/BSA complexes was confirmed by the decrease of incipient pH for soluble complex formation (or pHc) and pHφ1 under different sodium chloride concentrations. This research presents a new functional system with the potential for delivering bioactive food ingredients.

Gd1a, Gd1b and Gt1b gangliosides were dispersed in the following membrane-mimicking systems: (a) homogeneous micelles; (b) mixed micelles with Gm1 ganglioside (which is resistant to the enzyme action), Triton X-100 or bovine serum albumin; (c) small unilamellar vesicles of egg phosphatidylcholine. The effect of dispersion on sialic acid release by Vibrio cholerae sialidase was studied. As reference substrates freely interacting with the enzyme the lipid-free carbohydrates of Gd1a and 3′-sialosyl-lactose were employed. The apparent Vmax. of the enzyme was, with all the gangliosides, dependent on the type of ganglioside dispersion. It was lowest for homogeneous micelles and mixed micelles with ganglioside Gm1, and increased about 6-fold for ganglioside/bovine serum albumin lipoprotein micelles, 15-fold for mixed-ganglioside/Triton X-100 micelles (optimal molar ratio 1:7.5) and 30-fold for phosphatidylcholine vesicles containing 2.5 mol% ganglioside (this proportion was optimal for enzyme activity on the vesicles). For ganglioside Gd1a, the activity on Triton X-100 mixed micelles and on mixed vesicles was even greater (3- and 6-fold respectively) than that displayed on Gd1a lipid-free carbohydrate. With each of the used gangliosides the apparent Km values were very similar values for homogeneous micelles and vesicular dispersions, but showed marked increases for Triton X-100 mixed micelles, approaching the values exhibited by reference oligosaccharides. Triton X-100 micelles and phosphatidylcholine vesicles did not appreciably alter the kinetics of sialidase action on 3′-sialosyl-lactose and on Gd1a lipid-free carbohydrate, indicating that the above effects are dependent on the intrinsic characteristics of the membrane-like systems containing gangliosides.
