Abstract

In this study, the sulforaphane-encapsulated zein aqueous nano-dispersions were prepared by anti-solvent method by using low concentrate gum arabic as a stabilizer. The physicochemical properties and releasing characteristics of sulforaphane were investigated. The results showed that the average size, polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential of zein/gum arabic nanoparticles without encapsulating sulforaphane were 184.1 nm, 0.135 and -33.5 mV, respectively. The size, PDI, and zeta potential of sulforaphane-encapsulated zein/gum arabic nanoparticles varied from 159.8 nm to 180.2 nm, 0.152 to 0.198, and -32.1 mV to -37.5 mV, respectively. The TEM results showed that the nanoparticles were nearly spherical. When the weight ratio of sulforaphane to zein was 1∶25, the encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity were 92.3% and 43.4 mg/g, respectively. As the weight ratio increased, the encapsulation efficiency decreased significantly while loading capacity slightly increased in the range of 60.6-78.7 mg/g. When the pH was increasing, the particle sizes of the nanoparticles at pH=2-4 decreased significantly, while changes at pH 4-8 were insignificant. The particle size changed insignificantly at 25-55 ℃, while it increased from 200 nm to about 350 nm with an increase in ambient temperature (55-85 ℃). The results of released sulforaphane showed that the cumulative releasing rate within 60 min was nearly 50% and almost completely released within 240 min. This study provides an experimental reference for encapsulating of sulforaphane.
