Curcumin encapsulated in the complex of lysozyme/carboxymethylcellulose and implications for the antioxidant activity of curcumin

Formation of electrostatic complexes using sodium caseinate with high‐methoxyl pectin and carboxymethyl cellulose and their application in stabilisation of curcumin

“…The EE of curcumin for NaCas, NaCas‐HMP and NaCas‐CMC were 88.1 ± 1.1%, 92.9 ± 1.5% and 94.4 ± 1.7%, respectively. The electrostatic complexes showed higher EE, which was also observed in another study (Li et al ., ).…”

“…Absorption and fluorescence spectra are important tools to study interactions between the compounds and have been used to study the interaction of curcumin with other molecules (Barik et al ., ; Yang et al ., ; Li et al ., ). When curcumin was incubated with NaCas, HMP, CMC and electrostatic complexes, peak absorbance increased (Fig.…”

“…As absorption intensity of the electrostatic complexes was the highest followed by that of NaCas and polysaccharides, the electrostatic complexes may have the highest interaction with curcumin. A similar increase in intensity of curcumin, especially when interacted with electrostatic complex, was observed in other studies (Baglole et al ., ; Yang et al ., ; Li et al ., ). There were red and blue shifts in absorption and fluorescence spectra for curcumin with NaCas and the electrostatic complexes, respectively.…”

“…There were red and blue shifts in absorption and fluorescence spectra for curcumin with NaCas and the electrostatic complexes, respectively. These shifts indicate that curcumin moves from aqueous environment to more hydrophobic sites of NaCas (Baglole et al ., ; Yang et al ., ; Li et al ., ).…”

A highly selective nanocomposite based on MIP for curcumin trace levels quantification in food samples and human plasma following optimization by central composite design

“…Its daily application as condiment and spice has chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic which candidate it for treatment of ailments such as lung cancer, skin and liver diseases [13][14][15]. Various role including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-arthriticagent and anticancer activities [16][17][18][19] are logical reasons for its extensive application and encourage researchers to design an accurate approach for preconcentration and quantification of curcumin in low level in complicated matrices. Several methods such as high-performance liquid chromatography [20][21][22], thin layer chromatography [23], UV-Vis spectrophotometry [24], HPTLC [25], 2-D flash liquid chromatography [26] and spectrofluorimetry [27,28] are applied for this regard.…”
