Dual Origin of Viscoelasticity in Polymer-Carbon Black Hydrogels: A Rheometry and Electrical Spectroscopy Study by Legrand, Gauthier, Manneville, Sébastien, McKinley, Gareth H., Divoux, Thibaut

“…Here we focus on aqueous dispersions of hydrophobic colloidal soot particles, namely carbon black (CB) dispersed with a sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), a food additive known as cellulose gum that bears hydrophobic groups, which are liable to bind physically to CB particles. …”

Targeted gastrointestinal delivery of nutraceuticals with polysaccharide-based coatings by Sampathkumar, Kaarunya, Loo, Joachim Say Chye

“…Hence, a delivery system for targeted gastro-intestinal delivery of AI using polysaccharide-based polymers, that are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) and approved for use as a direct food additive, is proposed. In this regard, muco-adhesive chitosan nanoparticles that could adhere to the mucosa of the GIT are fabricated, and encapsulated with AI. …”

Development of reconstructed intestinal micronucleus cytome (RICyt) assay in 3D human gut model for genotoxicity assessment of orally ingested substances by Lim, Hui Kheng, Hughes, Christopher Owen, Lim, Michelle Jing Sin, Li, Jia'En Jasmine, Rakshit, Moumita, Yeo, Calvin, Chng, Kern Rei, Li, Angela, Chan, Joanne Sheot Harn, Ng, Kee Woei, Leavesley, David Ian, Smith, Benjamin Paul Chapman

“…The micronucleus (MN) assay is widely used as part of a battery of tests applied to evaluate the genotoxic potential of chemicals, including new food additives and novel food ingredients. Micronucleus assays typically utilise homogenous in vitro cell lines which poorly recapitulate the physiology, biochemistry and genomic events in the gut, the site of first contact for ingested materials. …”
