Preparation, Characterization, Solubility, and Antioxidant Capacity of Ellagic Acid-Urea Complex.

ABSTRACT: Ellagic acid (EA), a natural polyphenol found in berries, has high antioxidant capacity. This study aimed to improve EA solubility by complex formation with urea (UR) using solvent evaporation method and evaluate its solubility, antioxidant capacity, and physical properties. The solubility test (25 °C, 72 h) showed that the solubility of EVP (EA/UR = 1/1) was approximately two-fold higher than that of EA (7.13 µg/mL versus 3.99 µg/mL). Moreover, the IC₅₀ values of EA and EVP (EA/UR = 1/1) (1.50 µg/mL and 1.30 µg/mL, respectively) showed higher antioxidant capacity of EVP than that of EA. DSC analysis revealed that the UR peak at 134 °C disappeared, and a new endothermic peak was observed at approximately 250 °C for EVP (EA/UR = 1/1). PXRD measurements showed that the characteristic peaks of EA at 2θ = 12.0° and 28.0° and of UR at 2θ = 22.0°, 24.3°, and 29.1° disappeared and that new peaks were identified at 2θ = 10.6°, 18.7°, and 26.8° for EVP (EA/UR = 1/1). According to 2D NOESY NMR spectroscopy, cross-peaks were observed between the -NH and -OH groups, suggesting intermolecular interactions between EA and UR. Therefore, complexation was confirmed in EA/UR = 1/1 prepared by solvent evaporation, suggesting that it contributed to the improvement in solubility and antioxidant capacity of EA.

Project description:To develop a novel emulsifier with an antioxidant capacity, a phosvitin-gallic acid (Pv-GA) complex was prepared via a free-radical method. This emulsifier characterizes some key technologies. Changes in the molecular weight of the Pv-GA complex were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of light mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated that C=O, C-N and N-H groups were also likely to be involved in the formation of the complex. A redshift was obtained in the fluorescence spectrogram, thereby proving that the covalent combination of Pv and GA was a free radical-forming complex. The results indicated that Pv and GA were successfully conjugated. Meanwhile, the secondary structure of Pv showed significant changes after conjugation with GA. The antioxidant activity and emulsifying properties of the Pv-GA complex were studied. The antioxidant activity of the Pv-GA complex proved to be much higher than that of the Pv, via assays of the scavenging activities of 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radicals and because of their ability to reduce power. The emulsification activity of the Pv-GA complex was also slightly higher than that of Pv. To function with the most demanding antioxidant and emulsification activities, the optimum conjugation condition was Pv (5 mg/mL) conjugated 1.5 mg/mL GA. Furthermore, the mechanism of Pv-GA conjugation was studied. This study indicated that GA could quench the inner fluorescence of Pv, and this quenching was static. There was a strong interaction between GA and Pv, which was not obviously affected by the temperature. Furthermore, several binding sites were close to 1, indicating that there was an independent class of binding sites on Pv for GA at different temperatures. The conjugation reaction was a spontaneous reaction, and the interaction forces of GA and Pv were hydrogen bonds and van der Waals force.
