    • 摘要: 探究植物甾醇共轭亚油酸酯(PCLE)的掺入对叶黄素脂质体结构特性的影响,并评估其在体外模拟消化过程中的抗氧化活性。以PCLE与大豆磷脂为主要膜材料、叶黄素为芯材,制备复合脂质体;考察PCLE与大豆磷脂质量比、叶黄素与大豆磷脂质量比及超声功率对复合脂质体包封率的影响,优化制备工艺。采用透射电子显微镜(TEM)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、X射线衍射(XRD)和差示扫描量热法(DSC)进行结构表征,并构建体外消化模型评估其抗氧化能力。结果表明:当PCLE与大豆磷脂质量比为3:40、叶黄素与大豆磷脂质量比为4:40、超声功率为260 W时,所制复合脂质体的包封率最高,达(95.11±0.29)%;该脂质体呈规则球形,分布均匀,粒径为(95.32±1.30)nm,多分散指数(PDI)为0.29±0.08,Zeta电位为(-22.27±0.69)mV;FTIR、XRD与DSC结果证实叶黄素已被成功包埋;PCLE的掺入显著提升了叶黄素脂质体在体外模拟消化过程中的抗氧化能力。本研究成功制备了包封率高、结构稳定的植物甾醇共轭亚油酸酯–叶黄素复合脂质体,且PCLE的引入有效增强了其在模拟消化环境中的抗氧化活性。

       

      Abstract: This study aims to investigate the effect of incorporating phytosterol conjugated linoleic acid ester (PCLE) on the structural properties of lutein-loaded liposomes and to evaluate their antioxidant activity during in vitro digestion. Liposomes co-encapsulating lutein and phytosterol conjugated linoleic acid ester were prepared using the thin-film ultrasound method, with lutein incorporated in membranes composed of soybean phospholipids and PCLE. The study examined the influence of three key parameters on encapsulation efficiency: the mass ratio of PCLE to soybean phospholipids, the mass ratio of lutein to soybean phospholipids, and ultrasonic power. The liposomes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and their morphology was observed via transmission electron microscopy (TEM). An in vitro digestive model simulating the human gastrointestinal tract was employed to assess the DPPH radical scavenging capacity, lipid peroxidation inhibition capacity, and ferric reducing antioxidant power of the co-encapsulated liposomes throughout digestion. The results indicated that optimal preparation conditions were a PCLE-to-soybean phospholipid mass ratio of 3:40, a lutein-to-soybean phospholipid mass ratio of 4:40, and an ultrasonic power of 260 W, yielding a maximum encapsulation efficiency of (95.11 ± 0.29)%. TEM images revealed that the liposomes exhibited a regular spherical morphology and uniform distribution. Additionally, the particle size was (95.32 ± 1.30) nm, the polydispersity index (PDI) was 0.29 ± 0.08, and the zeta potential (−22.27 ± 0.69) mV. FTIR, XRD, and DSC analyses confirmed the successful encapsulation of lutein within the liposomes. Antioxidant assays during in vitro simulated digestion demonstrated that liposomes co-encapsulating lutein and PCLE exhibited excellent antioxidant capacity. This study presents a novel strategy for encapsulating lipid-soluble bioactive compounds in liposomal systems. In conclusion, lutein and phytosterol conjugated linoleic acid ester were successfully co-encapsulated into liposomes with high encapsulation efficiency and structural stability, and the incorporation of PCLE significantly enhanced their antioxidant activity during in vitro digestion.
