Influence of high intensity ultrasound (HIUS) on the structure and properties of ovalbumin (OVA) were investigated. It was found that the subunits and secondary structure of OVA did not change significantly with HIUS treatment from the electrophoretic patterns and circular dichroism (CD) spectrum. The amount of free sulfhydryl groups increased and intrinsic fluorescence spectra analysis indicated changes in the tertiary structure and partial unfold of OVA after sonication increased. Compared with the untreated OVA, HIUS treatment increased the emulsifying activity and foaming ability, and decreased interface tension (oil-water and air-water interface), which due to the increased surface hydrophobicity and decreased the surface net charge in OVA, while the emulsifying and foaming stability had no remarkable differences. The increased particle size may be attributed to formation of protein aggregates. Moreover, the gelation temperatures of HIUS-treated samples were higher than the untreated OVA according to the temperature sweep model rheology, and this effect was consistent with the increased in surface hydrophobicity for ultrasound treated OVA. These changes in functional properties of OVA would promote its application in food industry.

Severe bone damage from diseases, including extensive trauma, fractures, and bone tumors, cannot self-heal, while traditional surgical treatment may bring side effects such as infection, inflammation, and pain. As a new biomaterial with controllable mechanical properties and biocompatibility, hydrogel is widely used in bone tissue engineering (BTE) as a scaffold for growth factor transport and cell adhesion. In order to make hydrogel more suitable for the local treatment of bone diseases, hydrogel preparation methods should be combined with synthetic materials with excellent properties and advanced technologies in different fields to better control drug release in time and orientation. It is necessary to establish a complete method to evaluate the hydrogel’s properties and biocompatibility with the human body. Moreover, establishment of standard animal models of bone defects helps in studying the therapeutic effect of hydrogels on bone repair, as well as to evaluate the safety and suitability of hydrogels. Thus, this review aims to systematically summarize current studies of hydrogels in BTE, including the mechanisms for promoting bone synthesis, design, and preparation; characterization and evaluation methods; as well as to explore future applications of hydrogels in BTE.

In this article, we report the successful assembly of nanoparticles (NPs) from a water-soluble chitosan (CS) derivative (N-(2-hydroxyl)propyl-3-trimethyl ammonium chitosan chloride, HTCC) and zein via a low-energy phase separation method. The fabricated NPs were investigated for the first time to encapsulate and protect curcumin (Cur). The particle size and zeta potential of the zein–HTCC NPs varied from 66 to 170 nm and +36.3 to +62.5 mV, respectively. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) was greatly improved to 94.9% after HTCC coating, compared with 85.2% that using zein as a single encapsulant. The microstructure of the NPs was revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The physicochemical and structural analysis showed that the electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds were the major forces responsible for the formation of NPs. The encapsulation forms were evaluated for their efficiency in overcoming Cur's heat and UV sensitivity, which improve the stability about 2.7 fold, 3.5 fold and 2.5 fold when disposed with 60 °C treatment for 30 min, 80 °C treatment for 1 min and ultraviolet radiation for 2 h, respectively at zein–HTCC1 = 1 : 1. The results of the stability and DPPH assays indicated that the bioactivity was being protected upon encapsulation. Zein–HTCC NPs are believed to be promising delivery systems for the supplementation or treatment of hydrophobic nutrients or drugs.
