Enhanced Stability and Bioavailability of Defatted Cricket Protein Hydrolysates Encapsulated in Alginate-Coated Liposomes
) resulted in an increase in particle size and a more pronounced negative surface charge. When maintained at 4 °C over a 24-day duration, the SA-coated liposome (SA-L-2%DCPH) exhibited superior stability compared to its uncoated (L-2%DCPH) counterpart. Also, the digest derived from the SA-L-2%DCPH exhibited significantly enhanced transepithelial permeability across the Caco-2 cell monolayer, indicated by the higher protein content and ABTS radical scavenging activity. Thus, sodium alginate-coated liposomes serve as a promising delivery system for encapsulating DCPH both during storage stability and in the gastrointestinal digestion system.
