This study demonstrated the potential of using porous vegetable microparticles as natural matrices to load lipophilic bioactive compounds in functional foods. The FDPMs showed high absorption capacity and retention rate for RSV, as well as a protective effect under UV irradiation and high bioaccessibility during digestion. Additionally, the increased reducing power of RSV in FDPMs was supported by their amorphous state.
Resveratrol (RSV) is a lipophilic polyphenol susceptible to photo- and thermal degradation, and strategies are to be studied to enable its distribution in food matrices, prevent its degradation during storage, and increase its bioaccessibility during digestion. In this study, the porous matrix of natural starch, in the form of milled freezedried potato microparticles (FDPMs), was studied as an absorbent to load RSV. The binary solvent of ethanol and polyethylene glycol 400 (40:60 v/v) was used to dissolve 30% w/v RSV for diffusion into FDPMs. After ethanol was evaporated, the loading capacity was 112 mg RSV/g FDPMs and was maintained at 104 mg RSV/g FDPMs (92.9% retention) after 110-day ambient storage. The RSV stability under UV irradiation at 253 nm was improved by 32% due to shielding effect of FDPMs, and the ferric reducing power was 25% higher than the pristine RSV. The release of RSV in FDPMs was significantly higher than pristine RSV during simulated gastric and intestinal digestions (82.3% vs 51.4% bioaccessibility). The increased reducing power and bioaccessibility were supported by the amorphous state of RSV in FDPMs. The present study illustrates the potential of porous vegetable microparticles as natural matrices to load lipophilic bioactive compounds in functional foods.
