Water in water emulsion stabilized by liposomes developed from whey protein isolate and xanthan gum: Environmental stability and photoprotection effect for riboflavin
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Feb 13;262(Pt 2):130036. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130036. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this work is to explore the feasibility of water in water (W/W) emulsion stabilized with liposomes as a water-soluble nutraceutical carrier. A W/W emulsion system composed of xanthan gum (XG) and whey protein isolate (WPI) with different amount (0.2 %, 0.4 %, and 0.6 %) of liposomes as stabilizer was constructed. Fast green staining observation showed that XG was the internal phase and WPI was the continuous phase respectively. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed that with the increas...

Development of radiotracers for riboflavin transporter 3 imaging in diseases —A brief overview
RFVT3 is a potential biomarker for use in the diagnosis and therapy of RFVT3-overexpressed diseases, such as oncologic and neurodegenerative diseases. Riboflavin (RF, vitamin B2) plays a key role in metabolic oxidation –reduction reactions, especially in the mitochondrial reprogramming of energy metabolism. Riboflavin transporter 3 (RFVT3) is a vital section of the mitochondrial network and involved in riboflavin homeostasis and production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The abnormal expression of RFVT3 is clos ely associated with the occurrence and progression of multiple diseases. Therefore, it is vital to understand ...

Electrochemical determination of riboflavin in pharmaceuticals using unmodified screen printed carbon electrodes
In this study, we have devised an efficient and rapid approach to detect riboflavin (also known as Vitamin B2 or VB2) utilizing an unaltered screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). The unmodified screen-printed electrodes are created within the laboratory, where carbon ink is applied to a ceramic substrate. All experiments pertaining to the investigation of electrochemical behavior and the fine-tuning of crucial experimental parameters were conducted through cyclic voltammetry (CV). For quantitative assessments, square wave voltammetry (SWV) was employed. The findings indicate that unaltered SPCEs exhibit robust current si...
