Addition of Trans-Resveratrol-Loaded Highly Concentrated Double Emulsion to Yoghurts: Effect on Physicochemical Properties.

ABSTRACT: Trans-resveratrol (RSV) needs to be encapsulated to maintain its beneficial properties on the human body. This is due to its extreme photosensitivity, short biological half-life, and easy oxidation. In this study, the use of double emulsions for RSV encapsulation and their further application on functional yoghurts was studied. Different types of yoghurts were prepared: with and without RSV and with two types of volumetric emulsion formulations (20/80 and 30/70). In order to study the influence of the addition of double emulsions to the physical properties of the prepared yoghurts, they were characterised fresh and after a month under storage at 4 °C, in terms of droplet size, morphology, stability, rheology, texturometry, colorimetry, and antioxidant capacity. Results obtained showed that the presence of emulsion in the yoghurts produced a generalised decrease in the predominant droplet size (from 48 µm to 15-25 µm) and an increase in the stability. Additionally, a predominantly elastic character was observed. The firmness values obtained were very similar for all the yoghurts analysed and did not suffer important modifications with time. A slight colour variation was observed with storage time in the control sample, whereas a more notable variation in the case of emulsion yoghurts was observed. An appreciable increase of the antioxidant capacity of the final functional yoghurt (100 g) was observed when it contained 5-8 mg of RSV. Encapsulated RSV added to yoghurts presented a larger protection against RSV oxidation compared with free RSV, presenting a larger antioxidant inhibition after one month of storage. Moreover, the antioxidant capacity of yoghurts with encapsulated RSV was not affected under storage, since slight reductions (3%) were registered after one month of storage at 4 °C.

Project description:IntroductionAmyloid-beta (Aβ) protein is a major component of the extracellular plaque found in the brains of individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we investigated the effect of trans-resveratrol as an antagonist treatment for moderate to mild AD, as well as its safety and tolerability.MethodsThis was a case-control study that enrolled 30 selected patients who had been clinically diagnosed with moderate to mild AD. These patients were randomly divided into two groups, namely, a placebo group (n = 15) and a trans-resveratrol group (n = 15) who received 500 mg trans-resveratrol orally once daily for 52 weeks. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations were performed on and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were obtained from all participants before (baseline) and after the study (52 weeks). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to determine the levels of plasma Aβ40 and Aβ42 and CSF Aβ40 and Aβ42.ResultsThe results showed that the changes over the study period in the levels of Aβ40 in the blood and CSF of the patients treated with trans-resveratrol were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). In contrast, patients who received placebo showed a significant decrease in Aβ40 levels compared with that at the beginning of the study (CSF Aβ40: P = 0.024, plasma Aβ40: P = 0.036). Analysis of the images on the brain MRI scans revealed that the brain volume of the patients treated with trans-resveratrol was significantly reduced at 52 weeks (P = 0.011) compared with that of patients in the placebo treatment group, Further analysis indicated that the level of matrix metallopeptidase 9 in the CSF of the patients treated with trans-resveratrol at 52 weeks decreased by 46% compared with that of patients in the placebo group (P = 0.033).ConclusionThese results indicate that trans-resveratrol has potential neuroprotective roles in the treatment of moderate to mild AD and that its mechanism may involve a reduction in the accumulation and toxicity of Aβ in the brain of patients, thereby reducing neuroinflammation.Trial registrationChinese clinical trial registry: CTR20151780X.
