In this paper, we present the possibility of using pea protein isolates as a stabilizer for hempseed oil (HSO)-based water/oil emulsions in conjunction with lecithin as a co-surfactant. A Box-Behnken design was employed to build polynomial models for optimization of the ultrasonication process to prepare the emulsions. The stability of the system was verified by droplet size measurements using dynamic light scattering (DLS) as well as centrifugation and thermal challenge tests. The z-ave droplet diameters of optimized emulsion were 209 and 207 nm after preparation and 1 week storage, respectively. The concentration of free Linoleic acid (C18:2; n-6) was used for calculation of entrapment efficiency in prepared nanoemulsions. At optimum conditions of the process, up to 98.63% ± 1.95 of entrapment was achieved. FTIR analysis and rheological tests were also performed to evaluate the quality of oil and emulsion, and to verify the close-to-water like behavior of the prepared samples compared to the viscous nature of the original oil. Obtained results confirmed the high impact of lecithin and pea protein concentrations on the emulsion droplet size and homogeneity confirmed by microscopic imaging. The presented results are the first steps towards using hempseed oil-based emulsions as a potential food additive carrier, such as flavor. Furthermore, the good stability of the prepared nanoemulsion gives opportunities for potential use in biomedical and cosmetic applications.

The goal of this research was to determine the physicochemical and emulsifying properties of pea protein, gum arabic, and maltodextrin and to investigate their potential for stabilizing black pepper seed oil emulsions and acting as carrier materials for spray dried microcapsules. The moisture content and water activity of pea protein and maltodextrin (∼5.5 g/100 g and ∼0.22) were found to be significantly lower than that of gum arabic (11.5 g/100 g and 0.46) whereas the glass transition temperatures of pea protein and maltodextrin (∼99.4 ℃) was significantly higher than that of gum arabic (72 ℃). Pea protein showed the highest viscosity (53.8 mPa s), the lowest surface tension (42.5 mN/m), and interfacial tension (10.5 mN/m) among the biopolymer materials studied. A mixture design was employed to investigate the effect of biopolymer formulation on droplet size and creaming stability of black pepper seed oil emulsions. Stable emulsions with relatively smaller droplet size were spray dried to produce microcapsules. Spray dried black pepper seed oil microcapsules produced with 1% pea protein and 39% maltodextrin had low surface oil (∼0.8%) and high encapsulation efficiency (95%). The results of this study suggest that pea protein in combination with maltodextrin can be used as carrier materials in encapsulation of black pepper seed oil.

The Stability

This study develops the in-house specifications of self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) containing rosuvastatin based on the following criteria: description, identification, droplet size (≤200 nm) and polydiversity index (not more than 0.3), drug proportion in the oil phase (≥ 90.0%), assay (≥ 95.0% and ≤105.0% of the labeled amount of rosuvastatin (C22H28FN3O6S). The criteria were validated and the results were suitable for identification and determination of rosuvastatin in SNEDDS. Additionally, the results of the stability study show that the rosuvastatin SNEDDS met the criteria of description, droplet size, PDI, assay and drug rate in the oil phase for 12-month storage under the long-term condition (12 months) and 6 months on accelerated condition.

The aim of this research was to prepare an antifungal soybean protein concentrate (SPC) adhesive containing carvacrol (CRV) as a bioactive agent able to delay the attack of molds and yeast during storage of SPC adhesive at 4 °C as water-based systems. CRV was incorporated in SPC slurry at 0.5% v/v (~10 times its minimum inhibitory concentration against Aspergillus terreus, used as model fungus), to ensure its long-term action. CRV scarcely altered the thermal properties, structure and apparent viscosity of SPC adhesive. Active SPC aqueous dispersion was microbiologically stable for at least 30 days at 4 °C where the colonization begins, while control SPC was visually colonized from the second day. Rice husk (RH) particleboards of density ~900 kg/m3 were manufactured using the active SPC stored for 0, 10, 20, and 30 days as a binder. Modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture and internal bond of RH–control SPC (without CRV) panels were 12.3 MPa, 2.65 GPa and 0.27 MPa, respectively, and were statistically unaltered compared with those obtained with fresh SPC, regardless of the presence of CRV or the storage time. This last implies that active SPC should not necessarily have to be prepared daily and/or be used immediately after its preparation. Since it is microbiologically stabilized, it can be store at least for 30 days, ensuring the stability of the protein. The quality of the adhesive was evidenced by the consistent properties of the adhesive, expanding its potential use and commercialization.

The current study was intended to fabricate and evaluate ultrasonically assisted quercetin nanoemulsion (Que-NE) for improved bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness against diabetes mellitus in rats. Ethyl oleate, Tween 20, and Labrasol were chosen as oil, surfactant, and cosurfactant, respectively. Box–Behnken design (BBD) was employed to study the influence of process variables such as % surfactant and cosurfactant mixture (Smix) (5 to 7%), % amplitude (20–30%) and sonication time (2.5–7.5 min) on droplet size, polydispersibility index (PDI), and % entrapment efficiency (%EE) were studied. The optimization predicted that 9% Smix at 25% amplitude for 2.5 min would produce Que-NE with a droplet size of 125.51 nm, 0.215 PDI, and 87.04% EE. Moreover, the optimized Que-NE exhibited appreciable droplet size and PDI when stored at 5, 30, and 40 °C for 45 days. Also, the morphological characterization by transmission electron microscope (TEM) indicated the spherical shape of the optimized nanoemulsion. Furthermore, the Que-NE compared to pure quercetin exhibited superior release and enhanced oral bioavailability. The streptozocin-induced antidiabetic study in rats revealed that the Que-NE had remarkable protective and therapeutic properties in managing body weight, blood glucose level, lipid profile, and tissue injury markers, alongside the structure of pancreatic β-cells and hepatocytes being protected. Thus, the developed Que-NE could be of potential use as a substitute strategy for diabetes.

In this study, a proniosome-based transdermal drug delivery system of lovastatin was developed by coacervation phase separation method. On the basis of the pilot trials, a 3-factor, 3-level Box–Behnken design was employed to characterize the effect of Cholesterol, soya lecithin and Tween 80 on dependent variables (particle size, entrapment efficiency, and drug release). TEM analysis of optimized formulation has demonstrated the presence of individual Proniosomes in spherical shape. Lovastatin optimized proniosomal formulation F1 shown better particle size and percentage entrapment efficiency and drug release of 99.49% within 24h in slow and controlled manner when compared with control. Kinetic analysis of drug release profiles showed that the systems predominantly released Lovastatin in a zero-order manner with a strong correlation coefficient (R2= 0.9990). The particle size and Zeta potential of the optimized lovastatin proniosomal gel was found to be 138.82 nm and -11.4 mV respectively. Optimized batch of Proniosomes was used for the preparation of Lovastatin - based proniosomal hydrogel by incorporating hydrated Proniosomes to Carbopol matrix to enhance the stability and viscosity of the system. The enhanced skin permeation for prolonged time may lead to improved efficacy and better patient compliance.

The criteria of the coordinate measurements quality at pilot-experimental production based on contemporary methods of quality management system and traditional methods of the measurements quality in Metrology are considered. As an additional criterion for quality of measurements, their duration is proposed. Analyzing the problem of assessing the quality of measurements, the authors pay particular attention to the role of technological heredity in the analysis of the sources of uncertainty of coordinate measurements, including not only the process of manufacturing the part, but all stages of the development of design and technological documentation. Along with such criteria as the degree of confidence in the results of measurements; the accuracy, convergence, reproducibility and speed of the results must take into account the correctness of technical specification, and such characteristics of the shape of the geometric elements to be controlled, such as flatness, roundness, cylindrical. It is noted that one of the main methods to reduce the uncertainty of coordinate measurements is to reduce the uncertainty in the initial data and measurement conditions, as well as to increase the stability of the tasks due to the reasonable choice of the basic geometric elements (measuring bases) of the part. A prerequisite for obtaining reliable quality indicators is a quantitative assessment of the conditions and organization of the measurement process. To plan and normalize the time of measurements, the authors propose to use analytical formulas, on the basis of which it is possible to perform quantitative analysis and optimization of quality indicators, including the speed of measurements.

The article presents scientific research in the field of statistical controllability of the food production process using the example of bakery products for a certain time interval using statistical methods of quality management. During quality control of finished products, defects in bakery products were identified, while the initial data were recorded in the developed form of a checklist for registering defects. It has been established that the most common defect is packaging leakage. For the subsequent statistical assessment of the stability of the production process and further analysis of the causes of the identified defect, a Shewhart control chart (p-card by an alternative feature) was used, which allows you to control the quality of manufactured products by the number of defects detected. Analyzing the control chart, it was concluded that studied process is conditionally stable, and the emerging defects are random. At the last stage of the research, the Ishikawa causal diagram was used, developed using the 6M mnemonic technique, in order to identify the most significant causes that affect the occurrence of the considered defect in bakery products. A more detailed study will allow the enterprise to produce food products that meet the established requirements.

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) has been utilized as a pH-responsive component in various products. In this present work, palm tocotrienols-rich fraction (TRF) was successfully entrapped in a self-assembled oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion system by using CaCO3 as the stabilizer. The emulsion droplet size, viscosity and tocotrienols entrapment efficiency (EE) were strongly affected by varying the processing (homogenization speed and time) and formulation (CaCO3 and TRF concentrations) parameters. Our findings indicated that the combination of 5000 rpm homogenization speed, 15 min homogenization time, 0.75% CaCO3 concentration and 2% TRF concentration resulted in a high EE of tocotrienols (92.59–99.16%) and small droplet size (18.83 ± 1.36 µm). The resulting emulsion system readily released the entrapped tocotrienols across the pH range tested (pH 1–9); with relatively the highest release observed at pH 3. The current study presents a potential pH-sensitive emulsion system for the entrapment and delivery of palm tocotrienols.
