Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have been well-characterized; however, whether processing affects their physicochemical and functional properties remains unknown. Here, chitosan (low and high molecular weight; CS(L) and CS(H), respectively) was used to stabilize SeNPs, and the effects of heating (37 ℃, 70 ℃, and 95 ℃), freeze-drying-rehydration, and freeze-thawing on CS-SeNPs physicochemical stability, Se release, antioxidant capacity, and antibacterial activity were evaluated. The results demonstrated that all treatments could cause CS-SeNPs aggregation and Se release to varying degrees. Aggregation of CS-SeNPs decreased their antibacterial activity, while Se release increased their antioxidant capacity with negligible effects on antibacterial activities. None of the CS-SeNPs could tolerate freeze-thawing. CS(H)-SeNPs exhibited better rehydration and heating stability than CS(L)-SeNPs, although "rod-like" triclinic crystalline Se in CS(H)-SeNPs, produced by 95℃ heating, decreased both antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Thus, these results provide a theoretical basis for the development and suitable application of CS-SeNPs.
硒纳米颗粒(SeNPs)已经得到了很好的表征;然而,处理是否会影响它们的物理化学和功能特性尚不清楚。在这里,壳聚糖(低分子量和高分子量;CS(L)和 CS(H))被用来稳定 SeNPs,并评估了加热(37°C、70°C 和 95°C)、冻干-复水、冻融对 CS-SeNPs 物理化学稳定性、硒释放、抗氧化能力和抗菌活性的影响。结果表明,所有处理都可能导致 CS-SeNPs 不同程度的聚集和硒释放。CS-SeNPs 的聚集降低了其抗菌活性,而硒释放增加了其抗氧化能力,对抗菌活性几乎没有影响。没有一种 CS-SeNPs 能够耐受冻融。CS(H)-SeNPs 比 CS(L)-SeNPs 具有更好的复水和加热稳定性,尽管在 95°C 加热下产生的 CS(H)-SeNPs 中的“棒状”三斜晶硒降低了抗氧化和抗菌活性。因此,这些结果为 CS-SeNPs 的开发和合适应用提供了理论基础。
