“…The research into and the application of reverse micelles in food science have been accelerated in the last decade [285][286][287], for use in food protein extraction, simultaneous extraction of oils and proteins, utilization and development of effective antioxidants, and enrichment of food-derived components for analysis and quantification [11]. Sun and Bandara in their review presented the important research progress regarding the use of RMs in food science, additionally evaluating the opportunity of RMs as nanocarriers for delivering functional ingredients or nutraceuticals [11].…”

This paper presents an overview of the principal structural and dynamics characteristics of reverse micelles (RMs) in order to highlight their structural flexibility and versatility, along with the possibility to modulate their parameters in a controlled manner. The multifunctionality in a large range of different scientific fields is exemplified in two distinct directions: a theoretical model for mimicry of the biological microenvironment and practical application in the field of nanotechnology and nano-based sensors. RMs represent a convenient experimental approach that limits the drawbacks of the conventionally biological studies in vitro, while the particular structure confers them the status of simplified mimics of cells by reproducing a complex supramolecular organization in an artificial system. The biological relevance of RMs is discussed in some particular cases referring to confinement and a crowded environment, as well as the molecular dynamics of water and a cell membrane structure. The use of RMs in a range of applications seems to be more promising due to their structural and compositional flexibility, high efficiency, and selectivity. Advances in nanotechnology are based on developing new methods of nanomaterial synthesis and deposition. This review highlights the advantages of using RMs in the synthesis of nanoparticles with specific properties and in nano (bio)sensor design.

“…For this reason, different strategies have been proposed, based on the use of delivery devices such as microspheres, microemulsions, nanoparticles, microcapsules, implantable pumps, and vesicular systems among others. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] There are several advantages of using active compound delivery systems, for example, to protect drugs from a hostile environment (enzymes, pH, heat, air, light, moisture) or to improve poor aqueous solubility of the active agents that limits bioavailability and efficiency in the action site. 8,9 Among the promising drug targeting vehicles are vesicles.…”

“…Reverse micelles prepared with vegetable oils were used to encapsulate the antimicrobial peptide nisin; antimicrobial activity was thereafter evaluated in lettuce leaves and minced meat. The nanostructured nisin presented an inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes cells in foods, and a synergistic antimicrobial effect between nisin and some of the nanocarrier ingredients was observed (Chatzidaki et al, 2018).…”

Antimicrobials in Food

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

There is increasing interest in the production of delivery systems to encapsulate natural antimicrobial compounds to increase their antimicrobial efficiency, and also to reduce their interactions with food components and inactivation in the food matrix. Such interest in use of natural antimicrobials in foods is a result of consumer preference for clean-label products, which places demands upon the food industry to replace traditional synthetic preservatives with natural alternatives. In this chapter, different antimicrobial delivery systems, which include nanoemulsions, nanoliposomes, solid-liquid polymeric and inorganic nanoparticles, and nanofibers, as well as their preparation methods, are reviewed. The relevant properties and advantages and disadvantages of different antimicrobial delivery systems are highlighted, and potential and current applications for these delivery systems are also discussed.
