Abstract

Ursolic acid (UA)-loaded chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by freeze drying (FD), microwave freeze drying (MFD), and spray drying (SD), and the storage stability and antioxidant activity of UA in UA-loaded chitosan nanoparticles in light, temperature, and in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion process were investigated. Results showed that the release rate of UA-loaded chitosan nanoparticles was less in the gastric digestion stage. During the intestinal digestion stage, the release rates of UA-loaded chitosan nanoparticles prepared by FD, MFD, and SD were 59%, 55%, and 50%, respectively. It showed that UA-loaded chitosan nanoparticles had sustained release properties. The results of the DPPH free radical scavenging activity in simulating the gastrointestinal digestion stage showed that the antioxidant activities of UA-loaded chitosan nanoparticles were higher than those of UA. UA and UA-loaded chitosan nanoparticles had high stability at 4 ℃, and the retention rate of UA was greater than 80%. Under light protection conditions, the retention rates of UA-loaded chitosan nanoparticles prepared by FD, MFD, and SD were 66%, 64%, and 60%, respectively. Among them, the UA-loaded chitosan nanoparticles prepared by FD had the highest activity of DPPH free radical scavenging at 4 ℃ and avoidance of light, at 2.32 and 2.09 mg/g, respectively. The stability and antioxidant activities of UA-loaded chitosan nanoparticles prepared by FD and MFD under the light, temperature, and simulated gastrointestinal digestion were higher than those of UA-loaded chitosan nanoparticles, and the stability of UA was significantly improved.
