Fabrication and characterization of curcumin-loaded composite nanoparticles based on high-hydrostatic-pressure-treated zein and pectin: Interaction mechanism, stability, and bioaccessibility.

Food Chemistry, 2023
We successfully designed curcumin (Cur)-loaded composite nanoparticles consisting of high-hydrostatic-pressure-treated (HHP-treated) zein and pectin with a pressure of 150 MPa (zein-150 MPa-P-Cur), showing nano-spherical structure with high zeta ...

Thiol-modified hyaluronic acid improves the physical stability of curcumin-zein nanoparticles by forming disulfide bonds with zein.

Food Chemistry, 2023
Zein-based nanoparticles have been developed in the food industry. However, their poor pH stability and unfavorable ionic strength stability remain a challenge even with the use of polysaccharides (such as hyaluronic acid) as stabilizers. To address this

Zein structure and its hidden zearalenone: Effect of zein extraction methods

Food Chemistry, 2022
Zein, the plant protein, has received great attention in the last years. However, hidden zearalenone (ZEN), the zein-bound ZEN present in zein would have a great hazard to humans and animals. To date, the fates of hidden ZEN under different extraction methods of zein have not been clarified.

Improving the performance of Ca-alginate films through incorporating zein-caseinate nanoparticles-loaded cinnamaldehyde.

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2023
This study aimed to fabricate and characterize the Ca-alginate films functionalized by incorporating zein nanoparticles containing cinnamaldehyde (CA). The zein nanoparticles were coated with Na-caseinate (CN) to inhibit the precipitation of zein in the ...

Interfacial and emulsion-stabilizing properties of zein nanoparticles: differences among zein fractions (α-, β-, and γ-zein)

Food & Function, 2021
Zein can be classified into α-, β-, γ-, and δ-zein, and the difference in amino acid compositions of these fractions could affect their physicochemical properties and functionalities.

BiP and zein binding domains within the delta zein protein

Planta, 2005
Zeins are alcohol soluble seed storage proteins synthesized within the endosperm of maize and subsequently deposited into endoplasmic reticulum (ER) derived protein bodies. The genes encoding the beta and delta zeins were previously introduced into tobacco with the expectation of improving the nutritional quality of plants (Bagga et al.

Co-encapsulation of curcumin and resveratrol in zein-bovine serum albumin nanoparticles using a pH-driven method.

Food & Function, 2023
In the present study, zein-bovine serum albumin (BSA) composite nanoparticles (NPs) are produced with the use of a pH-driven method. The mass ratio of BSA to zein has a significant impact on the particle size, but exhibits a limited effect on the surface

Preparation and characterization of zein/carboxymethyl dextrin nanoparticles to encapsulate curcumin: Physicochemical stability, antioxidant activity and controlled release properties.

Food Chemistry, 2020
In this work, zein/carboxymethyl dextrin nanoparticles were successfully fabricated at different zein to carboxymethyl dextrin (CMD) mass ratios. Zein/CMD nanoparticles with the negative charge and the smallest size (212 nm) were formed when the mass ...
