A silk fibroin-based drug delivery system was fabricated in supercritical CO2 (20 MPa pressure, 1:2 curcumin:silk fibroin ratio, 1% final concentration) to improve the solubility of curcumin. The effects of various parameters, including pressure, curcumin:silk fibroin ratio, and final concentration, on particle size, size distribution, drug loading, and encapsulation efficiency, were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy results showed that the particles had spherical shapes with controllable particle size <100 nm and a narrow size distribution. The highest drug loading and encapsulation efficiencies obtained were 12% +/- 0.62 and 36% +/- 1.9, respectively. An in vitro cumulative release study showed that the solubility of curcumin was greatly enhanced; curcumin was released over 196 h. Furthermore, the release rate could be controlled by changes in the beta-sheet content of the silk fibroin. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results indicated that new non-covalent chemical bonds were formed between the curcumin and silk fibroin. X-ray diffraction results revealed the amorphous state of curcumin, which was also confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. In conclusion, the study indicated that the use of supercritical CO2 could be an efficient method for enhancing the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Experimental investigation on hydrodynamic characteristics of 1,1,1,2-tet- rafluoroethane (R134a) in a horizontal tube at supercritical pressures

Xutao Zhu, Jianguo Yan, Shouchun Liu, Fengling Zhu

Summary: This study experimentally assessed the hydrodynamic characteristics of supercritical-pressure R134a in a horizontal circular tube. It was found that the hydrodynamic characteristic curve of R134a under supercritical pressure does not have a negative-slope region but a transition region. The transition region becomes more evident with increasing heat flux, while it weakens with increasing pressure and inlet temperature. Moreover, the onset of the transition region shifts in the direction of high mass flow rate with increasing heat flux.

Summary: This research aimed to valorize brewery spent grain (BSG) using subcritical water hydrolysis (SWH) modified by six different natural deep eutectic solvents (DES) and determining their bipotentialities. The findings showed that BSG hydrolysates obtained through DES-induced SWH contained high levels of sugars, proteins, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and essential amino acids. The hydrolysates also demonstrated antimicrobial activities, and the presence of bioactive compounds was confirmed through FT-IR analysis. This comprehensive profiling of bioactive compounds from BSG using DES-mediated SWH can contribute to the efficient valorization of BSG for industrial purposes.
