Linking the yield stress functionality of polyglycerol polyricinoleate in a highly filled suspension to its molecular properties (2022)
Journal Article
Price, R., Gray, D., Watson, N., Vieira, J., & Wolf, B. (2022). Linking the yield stress functionality of polyglycerol polyricinoleate in a highly filled suspension to its molecular properties. LWT - Food Science and Technology, 165, Article 113704. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lwt.2022.113704

Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) is a food emulsifier with a unique yield stress reducing efficacy in fat-based suspensions. There are many commercially available PGPRs, and the different products vary in their impact on the yield stress. Choosing...

Vegetable oils composition affects the intestinal lymphatic transport and systemic bioavailability of co-administered lipophilic drug cannabidiol (2022)
Journal Article
Feng, W., Qin, C., Abdelrazig, S., Bai, Z., Raji, M., Darwish, R., …Gershkovich, P. (2022). Vegetable oils composition affects the intestinal lymphatic transport and systemic bioavailability of co-administered lipophilic drug cannabidiol. International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 624, Article 121947. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.121947

Although natural sesame oil has been shown to facilitate the lymphatic delivery and oral bioavailability of the highly lipophilic drug cannabidiol (CBD), considerable variability remains an unresolved challenge. Vegetable oils differ substantially in...

Bioaccessibility of essential lipophilic nutrients in a chloroplast-rich fraction (CRF) from agricultural green waste during simulated human gastrointestinal tract digestion (2022)
Journal Article
Wattanakul, J., Syamila, M., Darwish, R., Gedi, M. A., Sutcharit, P., Chi, C., …Gray, D. A. (2022). Bioaccessibility of essential lipophilic nutrients in a chloroplast-rich fraction (CRF) from agricultural green waste during simulated human gastrointestinal tract digestion. Food and Function, 13(9), 5365-5380. https://doi.org/10.1039/d2fo00604a

An in vitro gastrointestinal human digestion model, with and without additional rapeseed oil, was used to measure the bioaccessibility of the major lipophilic nutrients enriched in chloroplasts: β-carotene; lutein; α-tocopherol; and α-linolenic acid....

Bioaccessibility of carotenoids (β-carotene and lutein) from intact and disrupted microalgae (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii) (2022)
Journal Article
Akepach, P., Ribeiro-Filho, N., Wattanakul, J., Darwish, R., Gedi, M. A., & Gray, D. A. (2022). Bioaccessibility of carotenoids (β-carotene and lutein) from intact and disrupted microalgae (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii). LWT - Food Science and Technology, 160, Article 113292. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lwt.2022.113292

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (C. reinhardtii) has a potential as a novel source for food/feed because it contains several constituents including bioactive compounds. However, its multilayer cell wall (hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein [HRPGs]) may restri...

Is oral lipid-based delivery for drug targeting to the brain feasible? (2022)
Journal Article
Brookes, A., Ji, L., Bradshaw, T. D., Stocks, M., Gray, D., Butler, J., & Gershkovich, P. (2022). Is oral lipid-based delivery for drug targeting to the brain feasible?. European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 172, 112-122. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejpb.2022.02.004

This review outlines the feasibility of oral lipid-based targeted delivery of drugs to the brain, including permeation of the central nervous system's (CNS) protective blood–brain barrier (BBB). The structure of the BBB and disruption caused by varyi... Read More about Is oral lipid-based delivery for drug targeting to the brain feasible?.
