structural characteristics and encapsulating properties of the zein-chitosan nanocomplexes …

The aim of this study was to design a colloidal delivery system to encapsulate poor water-
soluble bioactive β-carotene so that it could be utilized in various food products as a …

The present study aimed at the design and fabrication of a novel co-delivery system to
encapsulate and protect curcumin and resveratrol. Curcumin and resveratrol had synergistic …

The complex coacervation between zein and chitosan (CS) as well as the relationship with
the controlled release properties of their complex nanoparticles were studied. The factors …

In this study, zein nanoparticles coated with carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) were prepared
to encapsulate vitamin D3 (VD3). VD3 was first encapsulated into zein nanoparticles using a …

The study aimed to obtain chitosan composite films with gratifying physical and functional
properties. First, we developed a Pickering emulsion containing clove essential oil (CEO) …

In order to improve the water solubility and stability of curcumin (CUR) and achieve its
sustained release, the ZEIN–N-(2-hydroxy) propyl-3-trimethylammonium chitosan chloride …

Two quercetin loading zein nanoparticles with shell of caseinate (SC-ZNP) and caseinate-
chitosan double layer (CHC-ZNP) were fabricated by anti-solvent method. The formulas of …

In this study, zein was stabilized using alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) for the delivery of
curcumin (Cur) through antisolvent precipitation. Zein-AOS 2: 1 nanoparticles were uniform …
