The purpose of this study was to introduce caffeic acid (CA) into electrospun nanofibers made of carob flour, whey protein concentrate (WPC), and polyethylene oxide (PEO). The effects of WPC concentration (1% and 3%) and CA additions (1% and 10%) on the characteristics of solutions and nanofibers were investigated. The viscosity and electrical conductivity of the solutions were examined to determine characteristics of solutions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), water vapor permeability (WVP), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis were used to characterize the nanofibers. According to the SEM results, the inclusion of CA into nanofibers resulted in thinner nanofibers. All nanofibers exhibited uniform morphology. CA was efficiently loaded into nanofibers. When CA concentrations were 1% and 10%, loading efficiencies were 76.4% and 94%, respectively. Nanofibers containing 10% CA demonstrated 92.95% antioxidant activity. The results indicate that encapsulating CA into carob flour-WPC-based nanofibers via electrospinning is a suitable method for active packaging applications.
本研究的目的是将咖啡酸(CA)引入由角豆粉、乳清蛋白浓缩物(WPC)和聚环氧乙烷(PEO)制成的电纺纳米纤维中。研究了WPC浓度(1%和3%)和CA添加量(1%和10%)对溶液和纳米纤维特性的影响。检测了溶液的粘度和电导率以确定溶液的特性。使用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、热重分析仪(TGA)、差示扫描量热法(DSC)、水蒸气透过率(WVP)和傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)分析对纳米纤维进行表征。根据SEM结果,将CA纳入纳米纤维会使纳米纤维更细。所有纳米纤维均呈现出均匀的形态。CA被有效地负载到纳米纤维中。当CA浓度为1%和10%时,负载效率分别为76.4%和94%。含有10%CA的纳米纤维表现出92.95%的抗氧化活性。结果表明,通过静电纺丝将CA封装到基于角豆粉-WPC的纳米纤维中是一种适用于活性包装应用的方法。
