AB  - Some of the main rheological properties that Ca-alginate hydrogel matrix should satisfy for biomedical and biotechnological applications are the matrix viscoelasticity and the ability of stress relaxation. Although alginate satisfies both of them, experimental data note that cell growth is significantly reduced by microenvironmental effects. Microenvironmental restriction effects are connected to matrix resistance stress accumulation. Matrix stress is generated within the boundary layers around the cell aggregates under compression caused by cell rearrangement and growth. Simultaneously induced relaxation phenomena of both subsystems: (1) immobilized cells and (2) hydrogel matrix occur at three time scales through successive relaxation cycles. Complex dynamics of matrix compression intensifies mechanical and electrostatic cell-matrix interactions. Minimizing of the resistance stress is the strategy for improving the matrix performances. Cell action could be simulated in the experiments without cells during repeated stress relaxation cycles. We consider the physical and chemical modifications of Ca-alginate hydrogel.

AB  - In the present study the commercial multifunctional fatty acid polyamidoamine (PAA) was for the first time simultaneously applied as a curing agent and clay modifier for epoxy/clay nanocomposites (NC) based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A. The montmorillonite (Cloisite (R) Na+) was modified with different quantities of partially and fully protonated polyamidoamine. The NCs with 0.5 wt% novel organoclay were prepared by solution intercalation method. The major aims of this paper are investigations of the effects of the composition of PAA modified clays on structure, mechanical, barrier properties and corrosion stability on steel substrates of NCs were studied. The thermogravimetric, flame photometry and X-ray diffraction analyses confirmed the efficient modification of clay surface with polyamidoamine, predominantly located within layers. The NCs exhibited an intercalated/exfoliated morphology and the presence of free amino groups and increased content of modifier facilitated dispersion of clay particles within the polymer matrix, as shown by electron microscopy techniques (SEM, TEM). Under an optimized loading of PAA (molar quantity of total amino groups per clay cation exchange capacity of 1.75), the layers in stacks were separated by 5.0 nm and high number of individual layers was present in NC. Clay modified by PAA with free amino groups showed increased storage modulus in the rubbery state, glass transition temperature of NCs, while dumping factor was decreased. The tensile test confirmed that introduction of flexible modifier on the epoxy/clay interface lead to increase in the ultimate tensile strenght and elongation at break by 31% and toughness up to 83%. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and permeability tests proved the pronounced barrier effect of clay particles against corrosive species and water vapor when high dispersion degree of clay in NC was achieved.

AB  - Mechanical, morphological and thermal properties of optical fiber adhesives, based on poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) with 18 and 40% of vinyl acetate, polymer blend of EVA/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and graft polymer, raw EVA-g-PMMA, prepared via in situ free radical polymerization, were studied. Extraction of PMMA homopolymer from raw EVA-g-PMMA produced purified EVA-g-PMMA, which enable quantitative determination of graft initiating centers by NMR spectroscopy. FTIR and image analysis allowed determination of the graft content/level in purified EVA-g-PMMA. Grafting effect to compatibilization efficiency in EVA-g-PMMA was monitored by image analysis of gelation processes and determination of wetting angle. Single lap joint of adhesives/optical fibers were subjected to adhesive testing before and after aging on 60 degrees C for 60 h and 120 h. Thermogravimetry coupled with mass spectrometry showed different thermal stability and degradation pathways of adhesives, and reduced the degree of deacetylation of thermally treated EVA-g-PMMA adhesive. DSC analysis showed higher thermal stability of EVA-g-PMMA adhesive. Better mechanical properties of EVA-g-PMMA, i.e. 62.4% higher Charpy impact strength value in relation to EVA, was obtained.

AB  - Microenvironmentally restricted yeast cell growth within Ca-alginate beads with and without entrapped gas bubbles was considered based on experimental data. Cell growth dynamics was described by (1) the dimensionless cell number density as a function of the cell growth time and (2) the cell distribution per bead cross sections. One of the key control parameters for bioprocess optimization is the matrix resistance stress generated during immobilized cell expansion. The dynamics of the increase in matrix stress was described theoretically based on a multi-scale mathematical model. In order to estimate and reduce the accumulation of matrix stress we considered repeated stress relaxation cycles in separate rheological experiments without immobilized cells. The results revealed that the increase in resistance stress within the Ca-alginate matrix was significant (similar to 7 kPa) after 10 repeated cycles, even under a low compression strain of 2% per cycle. The stress could be reduced by using the Ca-alginate matrix with entrapped gas bubbles. The final cell concentration within the beads with entrapped bubbles was 3.3 times higher in comparison with the beads without bubbles. The bubbles could locally amortize the compression effects within the surrounding cell clusters.

AB  - The aim of this study was to analyse the antioxidant activity of different polymeric matrices based on chitosan and starch, incorporating a thyme extract (TE) rich in polyphenols. TE provided the films with remarkable antioxidant activity. When mixed with chitosan, the polyphenols interacted with the polymer chains, acting as crosslinkers and enhancing the tensile behaviour of films. The opposite effect was observed when incorporated into the starch matrix. All the films became darker, more reddish and less transparent when TE was incorporated. These colour changes were more marked in starch matrices, which suggests that TE compounds were poorly encapsulated. The use of chitosan-based matrices carrying TE polyphenols is recommended as a means of obtaining antioxidant films, on the basis of their tensile response and greater antioxidant activity, which could be associated with the development of polyphenol-chitosan interactions, contributing to a better protection of the functionality of polyphenols during film formation and conditioning.

AB  - The paper reports about the preparation and characterization of hydrogel particles containing liposomes loaded with resveratrol as an active compound. The materials used for preparation of the particles were chosen to be suitable for food industry. Different polymer concentrations affect particles shape, size, size distribution, as well as the release kinetics of resveratrol. The diameter of particles varied from 360 to 754 μm, while the narrow size distribution was observed for all types of particles. Release studies were performed in Franz diffusion cell and the results showed the prolonged release of resveratrol from all samples, but the sample with the highest content of polymer (2.5% w/w) in particular stood out. The research provides useful information about liposomes containing active compound encapsulated in hydrogel matrices and offers the basis for its application in the food industry.

Ovi rezultati daju korisne podatke o kompleksnim sistemima gde je aktivna komponenta inkapsulirana u lipozome dalje obložena polimerom čime doprinose potencijalnoj aplikaciji ovih i sličnih sistema u prehrambene proizvode.",

AB  - We reported the design of liposome-loaded Ca-alginate microspheres as a drug delivery system for controlled release of resveratrol. The effect of admixed sucrose and chitosan coating was assessed in terms of physicochemical, thermal and release properties of liposome-in alginate systems with encapsulated resveratrol. The diameter of liposomes produced by proliposome method increased from 412 to 471 nm with addition of sucrose as a cryoprotectant. DSC analysis revealed that phospolipids interact with each other while forming the lipid bilayer and that resveratrol was incorporated within the lipid bilayer, causing destabilizing effect in the two temperature regions (137-202 degrees C and 240-270 degrees C). Liposomes were entrapped within polymer network and remained intact as determined by SEM cross-sectional observation of the microbeads. Liposomes interfered with the thermal behavior of alginate in the temperature region above 220 degrees C. The presence of liposomes decreased the strength of the beads in comparison to placebo beads, according to mechanical tests on compression. Release studies performed in Franz diffusion cell showed the overall resistance to mass transfer one order of magnitude higher (10(6) s/m) than the resistance ascribed solely to the liposomal membrane. The chitosan coating, visible as a dense surface layer (similar to 7 mu m thick) in dry state, caused decrease in encapsulation efficiency of resveratrol (85% vs. 91%) and in size of the particles (d(50) of 387 vs. 440 mu m); the chitosan also caused weakening of the polymer matrix, but increased resistance to drug diffusion (11.4 x 10(5) s/m) in comparison to the uncoated alginate-liposome formulation (9.1 x 10(5) s/m).

AB  - Influences of the vinyl modified nanosilica Aerosil (R) 380, i.e., vinyl and methacryloyl silane coupling agent and linseed oil fatty acids (BD) reactive residues, on the mechanical properties of the unsaturated polyester resins (UPes) based nanocomposites, was studied. The polycondensation of maleic anhydride and products of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) depolymerization with propylene glycol, with and without separation of ethylene glycol, yields UPe1 and UPe2 resin, respectively. The hydroxyl terminated PET depolymerization products (glycolyzates) and UPes were characterized by acid and hydroxyl values, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magneti resonance (NMR) spectroscopies. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed that silica nanoparticles formed domains of aggregates in the polymer matrix. An increase from 195 to 247% of stress at break (sigma(b)), and from 109 to 131% of impact strength (sigma(i)) of UPes based nanocomposites was obtained for 1 wt% addition of vinyl modified silica. Flexural strength (sigma(f)) increase from 106 to 156% for both UPes based nanocomposites with 1 wt% addition of BD modified silica. Cross-linking density (nu), storage modulus (G'), tan delta and T-g of the nanocomposite were determined from the dynamic mechanical testing and discussed in relation to the structure of silica modification.

AB  - The food industry expects increasingly complex properties (such as delayed release, stability, thermal protection, and suitable sensorial profile) from food ingredients, which often would not be able to be achieved without microencapsulation. This paper presents the state of the art in encapsulation technology for delivery of bioactive compounds to food. It reviews common encapsulation technologies (emphasizing their advantages and limitations) versus novel, interesting approaches in emerging technologies. This review includes a presentation of benefits resulting from the use of microencapsulated ingredients in the food industry; these benefits are going to be illustrated via few case studies bringing innovative processing. Spray drying has been used for more than 60 years to protect flavor oils against degradation/oxidation/evaporation, but melt dispersion technique has been used lately to effectively stabilize an aroma compound. Microgels produced by extrusion and emulsification techniques are considered for delivering synergistic antioxidant effects of plant extract polyphenols, their off-taste masking, and improved handling. Apart from microgels, microemulsions (produced by microfluidization or micelle formation techniques) are taken into account for entrapment of extracts containing polyphenols and essential oils. Innovative and interesting coacervation processes are depicted here as they facilitate the commercialization of coacervated food ingredients. Liposomes are gaining increasing attention in the food sector as they can provide good stability even in a water surrounding and also targeted delivery. The new scalable manufacturing protocols for the production of liposomes evolved in recent years (e.g., proliposome method) are presented here. Fluidized bed technology has been offering a versatile possibility to produce encapsulates which should release ingredients at the right place and the right time. Complex systems such as lipids in hydrogels are newly developed structures for controlled release of bioactive compounds. Finally, the effect encapsulates have when incorporated into real food products will be discussed, in particular with regard to the production of innovative functional food products. As an example, textural, sensorial, and physical quality assessment of chocolates enriched with encapsulated polyphenolic antioxidants from yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) will be reviewed.

AB  - Chitosan-glutaraldehyde microparticles were produced by emulsion crosslinking method to be used as drug delivery system for polyphenols from Thymus serpyllum L. aqueous extract. The effect of preparation conditions, chitosan concentration (1.5-3% w/v), and glutaraldehyde/chitosan (GA/Ch) mass ratio (0.15-1.20) on water and polyphenols transport properties was investigated. Swelling ratio of dry particles (68-230 mm) in water ranged from 280% to 530%, depending on the formulation. The decrease in swelling was observed with increased GA/Ch mass ratio (i.e. crosslinking degree) at the same chitosan concentration, or with increased chitosan concentration at the same GA/Ch mass ratio. The increase in GA/Ch mass ratio was also manifested by increased particle compactness i.e. decreased size and reduced surface roughness. The sorption capacity for polyphenols seems to be a complex interplay of swelling behaviour and interactions chitosan-glutaraldehyde-polyphenols identified by Fourier transmission infrared analysis. An increase in crystallinity of chitosan was observed upon crosslinking with glutaraldehyde and encapsulation of polyphenols, as observed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The results obtained from release kinetics of selected polyphenolic compounds (caffeic acid, rosmarinic acid, total flavonoids, and total phenol content) showed that polyphenols were released at a lower amount (2-4 times) in water, but more rapidly (45-120 min) in comparison with the release in gastric followed by intestinal simulated fluid (SGF-SIF) (120-240 min). The experimental results of the time-dependent swelling in water and polyphenols release in both, water and SGF-SIF, were analyzed with several mathematical models. The results depicted Fickian diffusion as the water transport mechanism. In the case of polyphenols, only empirical Weibull model could be suggested for describing release kinetics.

AB  - In this work chitosan microbeads were prepared by emulsion technique and loaded with thyme polyphenols by diffusion from an external aqueous solution of Thymus serpyllum L. The effects of concentrations of chitosan (1.5-3% (w/v)) and GA (glutaraldehyde) (0.1-0.4% (v/v)), as a crosslinking agent on the main properties of microbeads were assessed. The obtained microgel beads from similar to 220 to similar to 790 mu m in diameter were exposed to controlled drying process at air (at 37 degrees C) after which they contracted to irregular shapes (similar to 70-230 mu m). The loading of dried microbeads with polyphenols was achieved by swelling in the acidic medium. The swelling rate of microbeads decreased with the increase in GA concentration. Upon this rehydration, thyme polypheriols were effectively encapsulated (active load of 66-114mg GAEg(beads)(-1)) and the microbeads recovered a spherical shape. Both, the increase in the amount of the crosslinking agent and the presence of polyphenols, contributed to a more pronounced surface roughness of microbeads. The release of encapsulated polyphenols in simulated gastrointestinal fluids was prolonged to 3 h.
