    Abstract Ongoing efforts to improve the nutritional content of carotenoids in food sources to solve global health problems must also consider bioaccessibility and bioavailability of carotenoids. Carotenoid bioaccessibility encompasses carotenoid release from the food matrix, solubilization in lipid emulsion droplets, and transfer to mixed micelles for further absorption into the intestine. Bioavailability refers to the fraction of carotenoids which enters into circulation. To understand the mechanisms controlling bioaccessibility, in vitro digestion methods have been developed and are a useful approach to overcome some of the disadvantages associated with in vivo protocols. The INFOGEST protocol comprises three phases (oral, gastric and intestinal) to simulate adult human digestion of foods, as an international consensus for the conditions of static in vitro digestion. The last steps in any digestion protocol involve isolation of the target food compounds and subsequent analysis, steps not included in the INFOGEST protocol because they may differ depending on specific physical-chemical characteristics and quantification analysis of the target analyte. In this chapter, we describe the INFOGEST protocol which has been adapted for the analysis of carotenoid bioaccessibility, including determination and calculation of enzyme activities according to INFOGEST guidelines, removal of undigested material, collection of mixed micelles containing carotenoids, extraction, storage and subsequent identification and quantification by liquid chromatography analysis of both free and acylated carotenoids.

    Abstract The heteroprotein complex coavervation (HPCC) is triggered by the interaction between oppositely charged proteins resulting in two liquid phases in equilibrium: the coacervate phase, which is rich in protein and the equilibrium solution which has low protein concentration. Several intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect the HPCC, including the nature and the conformational state of the involved proteins. In this work, the mechanism of complex coacervation between type A gelatin (GA) and native and thermal treated (70 °C/5 min) β-lactoglobulin (β-lg and β-lg (TT)) was investigated. In addition, the ability of the obtained complex coacervates to entrap lutein was evaluated. The applied thermal treatment led to an increase of about 20% in the concentration of surface free sulfhydryl groups and increased around 66% the surface hydrophobicity of β-lg (TT), compared with the untreated one. Nevertheless, minor impact was noticed in the aggregation state of the proteins, as well as in their ability to bind lutein (Ksv in the magnitude order of 10⁴ M⁻¹). The optimal condition for the complex coacervation between GA-β-lg and GA-β-lg (TT) was pH 6.5, minimal ionic strength and mass ratio of 2.5:1. Even if the applied thermal treatment did not promote important changes in the thermodynamic parameters of the molecular interaction between GA-β-lg (TT) compared with those for the molecular interaction between GA-β-lg, it negatively affected the coacervation yield (from 64% to 57% in the optical condition). Both obtained complex coacervates exhibited high lutein entrapment efficiency, demonstrating their potential for protecting and delivering this bioactive compound.

    Abstract Consumer demand for UHT high-protein dairy beverages is growing all around the world. To overcome the potential low stability of these products during processing and storage remains a great challenge for dairy industries. In this context, the potential of preheating treatment coupled with homogenisation or the addition of sucrose or corn soluble fibre on reducing the sedimentation level of UHT dairy beverages containing 10% w/w of protein and equivalent proportion of caseins to whey proteins were evaluated. The samples supplemented with sucrose or corn soluble fibre displayed a reduced overall particle size distribution, but equivalent amount of sediment compared with that in the control sample. The applied pretreatment promoted intense whey protein denaturation and reduced the overall particle size distribution and the amount of material sedimented compared with the control sample. The applied pretreatment has potential to improve the stability of UHT high-protein dairy beverages.

  4. Article ; Online: Lutein bioaccessibility in casein-stabilized emulsions is influenced by the free to acylated carotenoid ratio, but not by the casein aggregation state

    Abstract Considering that carotenoids are found acylated to fatty acids in most edible fruits, the influence of the ratio of free to acylated lutein on the hydrolysis extent and bioaccessibility was evaluated by in vitro digestion. For this purpose, for the first time, esterified, free, or a mixture of both carotenoid forms was used in the lipid phase of emulsions stabilized by sodium caseinate (NaCas) and native phosphocaseinate (PPCN). Marigold petals was used as a source of lutein-rich extracts. The emulsions were characterized and the extent of ester hydrolysis, carotenoid recovery, and bioaccessibility were evaluated by LC-DAD-MS/MS. Besides low polydispersity, NaCas and PPCN stabilized emulsions exhibited a constant mean droplet diameter of about 260 and 330 nm, respectively, after 7 days. Caseins were completely digested after the gastric digestion step. Moreover, casein supramolecular structure did not significantly affect carotenoid bioaccessibility. Lutein was majorly found in its free form in all bioaccessible fractions. The carotenoid bioaccessibility increased from 3% to 40% by increasing the percentage of free carotenoids from 0.5 to 100% in the emulsions; but the carotenoid recovery and hydrolysis extent of lutein esters were not affected. In conclusion, emulsion-based systems for carotenoid delivery stabilized either by NaCas or PPCN provided similar carotenoid bioaccessibility. Furthermore, bioaccessibility was inversely dependent on the overall hydrophobicity of the carotenoid extract. Our results suggest that the low bioaccessibility of esterified carotenoids was a consequence of their limited hydrolysis extent. This study provides information that may help design emulsion-based systems stabilized by food protein as a vehicle for carotenoids.

    Abstract Orange juice is considered an excellent dietary source of several bioactive compounds with beneficial properties for human health. Citrus sinensis Osbeck cv. 'Cara Cara' is a bud mutation originated from 'Washington' navel orange, also known as 'Bahia' navel orange. The ascorbic acid, flavonoid, and carotenoid contents in pasteurized and nonpasteurized Bahia and Cara Cara juices using two LC-MS/MS platforms were investigated. Higher ascorbic acid content was observed in Bahia compared to Cara Cara in both pasteurized and nonpasteurized juices. Total flavanones content as well as hesperidin levels were higher in Cara Cara with respect to Bahia pasteurized juice. Cara Cara was also characterized by a significantly higher and diversified carotenoid content compared to Bahia juice with a mixture of (Z)-isomers of lycopene, all-E-β-carotene, phytoene, and phytofluene isomers accounting for the highest carotenoid proportion. The exceptionally high carotenoid content of Cara Cara may be particularly interesting for nutritional or functional studies of uncommon carotenes in a citrus food matrix.
