Nutraceuticals soluble

Bioactive peptides can be extracted and purified with these technologies, which vary from simple to complex. Following this, the isolation of bioactive peptides, oligosaccharides, fatty acids, enzymes, water-soluble minerals, and biopolymers for biotechnological and pharmaceutical applications is possible. Further, some of these bioactive peptides have been identified to possess nutraceutical potentials that are beneficial for human health. 

The electrostatic interaction between oppositely charged protein and polysaccharide can be utilized for encapsulation and delivery of hydro-phobic nutraceuticals. As a result of this interaction, we may have either complex coacervation (and precipitation) or soluble complex formation, depending on various factors, such as the type of polysaccharide used (anionic/cationic), the solution pH, the ionic strength, and the ratio of polysaccharide to protein (see sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.5 in chapter seven for more details) (Schmitt et al, 1998 de Kruif et al., 2004 Livney, 2008 McClements et al, 2008, 2009). The phenomenon of complex... 

SHW has also been apphed to the separation of nutraceuticals, natural products, and biochemicals, including the water-soluble vitamins, thiamine, riboflavin, and pyidoxine (Table 18-3) without significant thermal degradation. 

This book reflects the authors painstaking efforts to compile solubility data for an extensive variety of compounds including liquids, solids, polymers, foods, drugs, nutraceuticals, pesticides, dyes, and metal complexes. Each of the more than 1200 tables is arranged in alphabetical order by compound, includes a graphical plot of its data, and features the following information ... 

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is a separation technique that uses sc-fluids as separating solvents. Supercritical fluids can replace other solvents in many purification procedures, even in countercurrent extraction. In synthetic chemistry, SFE can be an alternative to conventional methods for purification/isolation of complex products, for example pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and vitamins [12, 18j. Since SFE is still quite a young discipline, physical properties and basic parameters for many interesting compounds and mixtures are not yet known (in contrast to classical methods like distillations). Therefore, it must be pointed out that for all applications of sc-fluids the phase equilibria have to be determined properly. Unfortunately, for many technical or industrial applications of procedures based on supercritical fluids, the basic parameters are often not yet known. For industrial implementation, scale-up, miniplant, or pilot plant activities, it is absolutely necessary to have information about phase behaviour, solubility, energy balances and... 

Awareness of healthful constituents in foods that can exert a positive influence on health, by reducing risk from cancer, heart disease, arthritis, Alzheimer s disease, and others has also increased [6]. These include antioxidants, soluble fibers, trace elements, and anti-microbials. Much of the available information is anecdotal or from the non-peer reviewed literature, and awaits scientific research to catch up with observations from advocates of various types and sources of foods. Also, dietary supplements are expanding in the market place as the source of nutraceuticals in place of natural sources in foods, stimulating questions regarding their bioavailability and relative benefits. 

Seaweeds are a good source of some water- (Bj, B2, B,2, C) and fat-soluble (P-carotene with vitamin A activity, vitamin E) vitamins. To ensure that the adequate intake of all vitamins is received in the diet, people (especially peopleon specialdiet, strict vegetarians, and vegans) can consume foods enriched with vitamins, for example, in the form of functional foods with vitamins as nutraceuticals, extracted from natural sources such as seaweeds. Seaweed vitamins are important not only due to their biochemical functions and antioxidant activity but also due to other health benefits such as decreasing of blood pressure (vitamin C), prevention of cardiovascular diseases (P-carotene), or reducing the risk of cancer (vitamins E and C, carotenoids). 

Enhanced water solubility of dried products, which could foster the powder formulation process, as well as enhance oral assimilation of nutraceutical and pharmaceutical powdery products... 

The potential health benefits of tea consumption are attributed to the sensitive water-soluble nutraceutical compound EGCG. But, EGCG faces the issue of instability in neutral and alkaline pH and fast degradation with oxygen, temperature, and pH changes [148]. This necessitates a suitable vehicle for the controlled release of EGCG, thereby enabling it to carry out its therapeutic activities.
