Abstract

Utilization of β-carotene in functional food products is limited due to chemical instability, lower water-solubility, and higher melting point. The present research was designed to formulate a nanoemulsion system for the effective delivery of β-carotene. β-Carotene was successfully incorporated into nanoemulsions using the ultrasonication method. During 60 days of storage, the droplet size of β-carotene-containing nanoemulsions varied from 112.36 to 133.9 nm at 4 °C and from 112.36 to 147.1 nm at 25 °C. The oxidation stability of olive oil was remarkably increased when incorporated into nanoemulsions. β-Carotene nanoemulsions remained stable under varying ionic strengths (50-400 mM), pH values (2-8), and freeze-thaw cycles (four). The values of turbidity and total color difference increased over time and at a higher temperature. Degradation of β-carotene was substantially slower in nanoemulsions, and the addition of antioxidants significantly increased the retention of β-carotene in nanoemulsions. These findings suggest that the ultrasonic homogenization method has potential for the preparation of β-carotene nanoemulsions with desirable properties. These nanoemulsions can be effectively used for the incorporation of β-carotene in the food and beverage industry.

摘要

由于化学不稳定性、较低的水溶性和较高的熔点,β-胡萝卜素在功能性食品中的应用受到限制。本研究旨在制备一种用于有效递送β-胡萝卜素的纳米乳液体系。采用超声法成功将β-胡萝卜素掺入纳米乳液中。在60天的储存期内,含β-胡萝卜素的纳米乳液的液滴尺寸在4℃时从112.36纳米变化到133.9纳米,在25℃时从112.36纳米变化到147.1纳米。橄榄油掺入纳米乳液后,其氧化稳定性显著提高。β-胡萝卜素纳米乳液在不同离子强度(50 - 400 mM)、pH值(2 - 8)和冻融循环(四次)下保持稳定。随着时间推移和温度升高,浊度值和总色差增加。β-胡萝卜素在纳米乳液中的降解明显较慢,添加抗氧化剂显著提高了β-胡萝卜素在纳米乳液中的保留率。这些结果表明,超声均质法在制备具有理想性能的β-胡萝卜素纳米乳液方面具有潜力。这些纳米乳液可有效地用于在食品和饮料工业中掺入β-胡萝卜素。
