This study was proposed to investigate the possibility of O/W nanoemulsion stabilization via natural emulsifiers as a delivery system for fucoxanthin. Nanoemulsions were prepared using ultrasonic treatment (150 W, amplitude 80%, 10 min) with different levels (0.5%, 1%, and 2% wt) of fucoidan, gum Arabic, and sodium caseinate as natural emulsifires and they were compared with tween 80. Then, the creaming index, stability, encapsulation efficacy, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and in vitro release were evaluated. The best stability and lowest creaming index were observed at 2% wt of emulsifiers. Nanoemulsions with droplet sizes (113.27−127.50 nm) and zeta potentials (−32.27 to −58.87 mV) were prepared. The droplet size of nanoemulsions was reduced by increasing the emulsifier concentration, and the best nanoemulsion stability after 15 days of storage was in the following order: tween 80 > sodium caseinate > fucoidan > gum Arabic. The encapsulation efficacy of nanoemulsions stabilized by sodium caseinate, fucoidan, and gum Arabic were 88.51 ± 0.11%, 79.32 ± 0.09%, and 60.34 ± 0.13%, respectively. The in vitro gastrointestinal fucoxanthin release of nanoemulsion stabilized with tween 80, sodium caseinate, fucoidan, and gum Arabic were 85.14 ± 0.16%, 76.91 ± 0.34%, 71.41 ± 0.14%, and 68.98 ± 0.36%, respectively. The release of fucoxanthin from nanoemulsions followed Fickian diffusion. The FTIR also confirmed the encapsulation of fucoxanthin.
本研究旨在探讨通过天然乳化剂将 O/W 纳米乳稳定化作为岩藻黄质传递系统的可能性。使用不同水平(0.5%、1%和 2%wt)的岩藻聚糖、瓜尔胶和酪蛋白酸钠作为天然乳化剂,通过超声处理(150 W,幅度 80%,10 分钟)制备纳米乳,并将其与吐温 80 进行比较。然后,评估了乳状指数、稳定性、包封效率、傅里叶变换红外(FT-IR)光谱和体外释放。在乳化剂 2%wt 时观察到最佳稳定性和最低乳状指数。制备了粒径(113.27-127.50nm)和zeta 电位(-32.27 至-58.87mV)的纳米乳。通过增加乳化剂浓度,纳米乳的粒径减小,在储存 15 天后,最佳纳米乳稳定性的顺序如下:吐温 80>酪蛋白酸钠>岩藻聚糖>瓜尔胶。由酪蛋白酸钠、岩藻聚糖和瓜尔胶稳定的纳米乳的包封效率分别为 88.51±0.11%、79.32±0.09%和 60.34±0.13%。在体外胃肠道岩藻黄质释放中,由吐温 80、酪蛋白酸钠、岩藻聚糖和瓜尔胶稳定的纳米乳分别释放 85.14±0.16%、76.91±0.34%、71.41±0.14%和 68.98±0.36%。岩藻黄质从纳米乳中的释放遵循菲克扩散定律。FTIR 还证实了岩藻黄质的包封。
