Caffeine is a molecule with bioactive properties related to increased mental performance. Its use in food products is limited by its bitterness and self-association behavior. The complex formed by β-lactoglobulin and caffeine was characterized by fluorescence spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry, and molecular docking. Fluorescence spectroscopy revealed that β-lactoglobulin interacted with caffeine to form a 1:1 stoichiometric complex. Isothermal titration calorimetry characterization of β-lactoglobulin-caffeine binding revealed a different stoichiometry (1:3). Molecular docking analysis confirmed the information obtained by the two thermodynamic evaluation techniques, showing that the best interaction occurred in the hydrophobic cavity of β-lactoglobulin. The effect of protein conformation was also evaluated by fluorescence spectroscopy. The complex stoichiometry and binding constants were from the same order as those obtained for native β-lactoglobulin. However, in contrast to the complex formation with native protein, the flexibility increase observed in the thermal unfolded protein promoted a great temperature effect on the standard enthalpy and entropy changes of interaction, indicating the presence of a balance between hydrophobic and hydrophilic forces. • β-lactoglobulin complex with caffeine in its native or denatured form. • β-lactoglobulin conformation influences in the thermodynamics of interaction with caffeine. • Caffeine binds predominantly on β-lactoglobulin hydrophobic cavity for both conformations.

A bioadsorbent (CEDA) capable of adsorbing As(V) and Cu(II) simultaneously was prepared by tosylation of microcrystalline cellulose (MC) and nucleophilic substitution of the tosyl group by ethylenediamine. MC, tosyl cellulose, and CEDA were characterized by elemental C, H, N, and S analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and 13C solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The adsorption of As(V) and Cu(II) on CEDA was evaluated as a function of solution pH, contact time, and initial solute concentration. The maximum adsorption capacities of CEDA for As(V) and Cu(II) were 1.62 and 1.09 mmol g−1, respectively. The interactions of As(V) and Cu(II) with CEDA were elucidated using thermodynamic parameters, molecular quantum mechanics calculations, and experiments with ion exchange of Cd(II) by Cu(II), and As(V) by SO 4 2−. Adsorption enthalpies were determined as a function of surface coverage of the CEDA, using isothermal titration calorimetry, with Δ ads H ° values of −32.24 ± 0.07 and −93 ± 2 kJ mol−1 obtained for As(V) and Cu(II), respectively. The potential to reuse CEDA was evaluated and the interference of other ions in the adsorption of As(V) and Cu(II) was investigated. Multi-component experiments showed that Cd(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Pb(II) did not interfere in the adsorption of Cu(II), while SO 4 2− inhibited As(V) adsorption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Graphical abstract Abstract Sugarcane bagasse cellulose mixed ester succinate phthalate (SBSPh) was synthesized by a novel one-pot reaction method. The effects of temperature, time and mole fraction of succinic anhydride (χ SA) on the responses weight gain (wg), number of carboxylic acid groups (n T,COOH), and adsorption capacity (q) of Co2+ and Ni2+ were evaluated by a 23 experimental design. The chemical structure of the material was elucidated by Fourier transform infrared, 13C Multiple Cross-Polarization solid-state NMR spectroscopy and 1H NMR relaxometry. The best SBSPh synthesis condition (100 °C, 11 h, χ SA of 0.2) yielded a wg of 59.1%, n T,COOH of 3.41 mmol g−1, and values of q Co 2+ and q Ni 2+ of 0.348 and 0.346 mmol g−1, respectively. The Sips model fitted better the equilibrium data, and the maximum adsorption capacities (pH 5.75 and 25 °C) estimated by this model were 0.62 and 0.53 mmol g−1 for Co2+ and Ni2+, respectively. The Δ ads H ° values estimated by isothermal titration calorimetry were 8.43 and 7.79 kJ mol−1 for Co2+ and Ni2+, respectively. Desorption and re-adsorption efficiencies were evaluated by a 22 experimental design, which showed that SBSPh adsorbent can be recovered and reused without significant loss of adsorption capacity.

Here, investigation was made of the interaction between lactoferrin (Lf) and the anionic surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), and sodium decyl sulfate (DSS), using isothermal titration calorimetry, Nano differential scanning calorimetry (NanoDSC), and fluorescence spectroscopy. The Lf-surfactant interaction was enthalpically favorable (the integral enthalpy change ranged from −5.99 kJ mol −1 , for SDS at pH 3.0, to −0.61 kJ mol −1 , for DSS at pH 12.0) and promoted denaturation of the protein. The Lf denaturation efficiency followed the order DSS < SDS < SDBS. The adsorption capacity of the protein with respect to surfactant strongly depended on pH and the surfactant structure, reaching a maximum value of 505 SDBS molecules per gram of Lf at pH 3.0. The different efficiencies of the surfactants in denaturing Lf were attributed to the balance of hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, which also depended on pH and the surfactant structure, highlighting the SDBS-tryptophan residue specific interaction, where SDBS acted as a quencher of fluorescence. Interestingly, the NanoDSC and fluorescence measurements showed that the ferric ion bound to Lf increased its stability against denaturation induced by the surfactants. The results have important implications for understanding the influence of surfactants on structural changes in metalloproteins. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the second part of this series of studies, the monocomponent adsorption of Cu 2+ , Co 2+ and Ni 2+ onto STA adsorbent in a fixed-bed column was investigated and optimized using a 2 2 central composite design. The process variables studied were: initial metal ion concentration and spatial time, and the optimized responses were: adsorption capacity of the bed ( Q max ), efficiency of the adsorption process ( EAP ), and effective use of the bed ( H ). The higher Q max for Cu 2+ , Co 2+ and Ni 2+ were 1.060, 0.800 and 1.029 mmol/g, respectively. The breakthrough curves were modeled by the original Thomas and Bohart-Adams models. The changes in enthalpy (Δ ads H °) of adsorption of the metal ions onto STA were determined by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The values of Δ ads H ° were in the range of 3.0–6.8 kJ/mol, suggesting that the adsorption process involved physisorption. Desorption ( E des ) and re-adsorption ( E re-ads ) of metal ions from the STA adsorbent were also investigated in batch mode, and the optimum conditions were applied for three cycles of adsorption/desorption in a fixed bed column. For these cycles, the lowest values of E des and E re-ads were 95 and 92.3%, respectively, showing that STA is a promising candidate for real applications on a large scale. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Trimellitated-sugarcane bagasse (STA) was used as an environmentally friendly adsorbent for removal of the basic dyes auramine-O (AO) and safranin-T (ST) from aqueous solutions at pH 4.5 and 7.0. Dye adsorption was evaluated as a function of STA dosage, agitation speed, solution pH, contact time, and initial dye concentration. Pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order, Elovich, intraparticle diffusion, and Boyd models were used to model adsorption kinetics. Langmuir, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Redlich-Peterson, Sips, Hill-de Boer, and Fowler-Guggenheim models were used to model adsorption isotherms, while a Scatchard plot was used to evaluate the existence of different adsorption sites. Maximum adsorption capacities for removal of AO and ST were 1.005 and 0.638 mmol g −1 at pH 4.5, and 1.734 and 1.230 mmol g −1 at pH 7.0, respectively. Adsorption enthalpy changes obtained by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) ranged from −21.07 ± 0.25 to −7.19 ± 0.05 kJ mol −1 , indicating that both dyes interacted with STA by physisorption. Dye desorption efficiencies ranged from 41 to 51%, and re-adsorption efficiencies ranged from 66 to 87%, showing that STA can be reused in new adsorption cycles. ITC data combined with isotherm studies allowed clarification of adsorption interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the third part of this series of studies, the adsorption of the basic textile dyes auramine-O (AO) and safranin-T (ST) on a carboxylated cellulose derivative (CTA) were evaluated in mono- and bi-component spiked aqueous solutions. Adsorption studies were developed as a function of solution pH, contact time, and initial dye concentration. Adsorption kinetic data were modeled by monocomponent kinetic models of pseudo-first- (PFO), pseudo-second-order (PSO), intraparticle diffusion, and Boyd, while the competitive kinetic model of Corsel was used to model bicomponent kinetic data. Monocomponent adsorption equilibrium data were modeled by the Langmuir, Sips, Fowler-Guggenhein, Hill de-Boer, and Konda models, while the IAST and RAST models were used to model bicomponent equilibrium data. Monocomponent maximum adsorption capacities for AO and ST at pH 4.5 were 2.841 and 3.691 mmol g −1 , and at pH 7.0 were 5.443 and 4.074 mmol g −1 , respectively. Bicomponent maximum adsorption capacities for AO and ST at pH 7.0 were 1.230 and 3.728 mmol g −1 . Adsorption enthalpy changes (Δ ads H ) were obtained using isothermal titration calorimetry. The values of Δ ads H ranged from −18.83 to −5.60 kJ mol −1 , suggesting that physisorption controlled the adsorption process. Desorption and re-adsorption of CTA was also evaluated.

A new carboxylated cellulose derivative (CTA) was prepared from the esterification of cellulose with 1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic anhydride. CTA was characterized by percent weight gain ( pwg ), amount of carboxylic acid groups ( n COOH ), elemental analysis, FTIR, TGA, solid-state 13 C NMR, X-ray diffraction (DRX), specific surface area, pore size distribution, SEM and EDX. The best CTA synthesis condition yielded a pwg and n COOH of 94.5% and 6.81 mmol g −1 , respectively. CTA was used as an adsorbent material to remove Co 2+ , Cu 2+ and Ni 2+ from monocomponent spiked aqueous solution. Adsorption studies were developed as a function of the solution pH, contact time and initial adsorbate concentration. Langmuir model better fitted the experimental adsorption data and the maximum adsorption capacities estimated by this model were 0.749, 1.487 and 1.001 mmol g −1 for Co 2+ , Cu 2+ and Ni 2+ , respectively. The adsorption mechanism was investigated by using isothermal titration calorimetry. The values of Δ ads H ° were in the range from 5.36 to 8.09 kJ mol −1 , suggesting that the mechanism controlling the phenomenon is physisorption. Desorption and re-adsorption studies were also performed. Desorption and re-adsorption efficiencies were closer to 100%, allowing the recovery of both metal ions and CTA adsorbent.

Abstract: In the present study, a thermodynamic analysis was performed using an isothermal titration microcalorimeter to measure changes in the enthalpy of mixing (ΔmixH) of water in microemulsion systems formed by soybean lecithin, isooctane and butanol. These energies were important to determine the driving forces associated with the formation of reverse micelles. It was observed that the titration curves of water in pure isooctane and in isooctane with soybean lecithin present values of ΔmixH equal to −9.46×10−3 kJ/mol and −5.68×10−3 kJ/mol, respectively. This shows that water does not form intermolecular interactions with these components. Exothermic behavior, with values of ΔmixH ranging from +2.17kJ/mol to −1.63×10−2 kJ/mol, was observed from the titration curve of water in systems formed by soybean lecithin, isooctane and butanol. These values were associated with the water dissolution process, where the formation of reverse micelles had been observed in the evaluated systems. Differences in behavior of ΔmixH for the water curves were observed in systems formed by butanol and soybean lecithin, only pure butanol and butanol with isooctane. The curve of the system containing soybean lecithin, butanol and isooctane clearly shows that the formation of aggregates occurred in this system (reverse micelles). Finally, it was also noted that soybean lecithin did not suffer any degradation process, since the energy involved in the process of water titration in the systems containing the same substance was considered low. Thus, soybean lecithin may be used without problems in this type of system. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

• Aggregation of SDBS is studied in imidazolium IL aqueous solution. • SDBS aggregation process involves two stages. • The SDBS aggregate stability is determined by the IL structure. • The IL changes the size of the SDBS aggregates. Ionic liquids (ILs) can modify cooperative process in aqueous solutions to a large extent, including anionic surfactant aggregation. Here, the micellization of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) was evaluated in low concentrations of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (C n mimCl, n = 0, 2, and 4) aqueous solutions through fluorescence spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry, dynamic light scattering, and conductometry. The thermodynamic stability of SDBS aggregates strongly depended on the IL structure and concentration, following the order C 4 mim+ > C 0 mim+ ≈ C 2 mim+. At 1.0 mmol L−1 of the ILs, the increase of the hydrophobicity of the imidazolium cation decreased the enthalpic favorableness, changing Δ H m i c o from −3.75 ± 0.07 kJ mol−1, for C 0 mim+, to −2.69 ± 0.01 kJ mol−1, for C 4 mim+. On the other hand, the entropic feasibility showed an opposite trend, i.e., the higher hydrophobicity of C 4 mim+ overcame the kosmotropic effect of IL cations in the bulks. We suggested that the imidazolium cations interact with the SDBS monomers on the micellar surface, mainly through hydrophobic, π-π, and electrostatic interactions for C 4 mim+ and C 2 mim+, and through electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds for C 0 mim+.

Preferential solvation participate in various supramolecular self-assembly processes, whose thermodynamic properties can be modulated by the addition of ionic liquids (ILs). However, the effects of these liquids on the thermodynamics of the host-guest complexation process remain unexplored. In this study, the thermodynamic properties of the complexation between 1-dodecylpyridinium cations (C 12 Py+) and β-cyclodextrin (βCD) species in aqueous solutions with different concentrations of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium halides (C n mimX) were investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry. In water, C 12 Py+ and βCD form a 1:1 inclusion complex, which is enthalpically (Δ H i c o = −9.2 ± 0.1 kJ mol−1) and entropically (T Δ S i c o = 16.1 ± 0.2 kJ mol−1) favorable. However, in IL aqueous solutions, all the βCD―C 12 Py+ thermodynamic parameters of the complexation change and this IL effect is dependent on the carbon chain length of C n mim+ cations. ILs with shorter alkyl chains (C n mim+, n ≤ 4) decreases the system entropy, while ILs with longer alkyl chains (C n mim+, n ≥ 6) reduce the enthalpy values. These effects are attributed to i) preferential solvation of surfactant tails by ILs; ii) ability of the ILs to modify the 3D water structure and iii) inclusion of IL molecules into the inner cavities of βCD.
