Food nanotechnology is an emerging and rapidly evolving field that encompasses an
extremely broad range of disciplines and has found various applications in different food …

Controlled delivery of a bioactive to specific organ, cellular and sub-cellular level is a
desired feature of a drug carrier system. In order to achieve this goal, formulation scientists …

Nanoparticles are particles that range in size from about 1–1000 nanometers in diameter,
about one thousand times smaller than the average cell in a human body. Their small size …

The poor water solubility and bioactivity of lipophilic phytochemicals can be potentially
improved by delivery systems. In this study, a low-cost, low-energy, and organic solvent-free …

In this study, pectin was applied as a carbohydrate-based coating to improve
physicochemical stability of sodium caseinate/zein (CZ) complex protein nanoparticles …

The poor stability of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) under acidic condition resulted in large
aggregation in gastric environment, limiting their application as oral delivery systems. In this …

Zein is the major storage protein from corn with strong hydrophobicity and unique solubility
and has been considered as a versatile food biopolymer. Due to the special tertiary …

The formation of protein-polysaccharide complex nanoparticles was investigated using
caseinate (NaCas), zein, and three polysaccharides, ie pectin, carboxymethyl cellulose …

The application of colloidal particles from natural materials for purposes ranging from the
delivery of bioactives to interfacial stabilisation and bulk structuring have recently gained a …

In this study, we used fucoidan (FD), a sulfated polysaccharide, to stabilize zein and obtain a
composite nanosystem with better performance that can be used to encapsulate and deliver …
