Encapsulation of curcumin in ZEIN-HTCC complexes: Physicochemical characterization, in vitro sustained release behavior and encapsulation mechanism
2021
Abstract In order to improve the water solubility and stability of curcumin (CUR) and achieve its sustained release, the ZEIN–N-(2-hydroxy) propyl-3-trimethylammonium chitosan chloride (HTCC) complexes were designed to encapsulate CUR using an antisolvent precipitation (ASP) method. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) and loading capacity (LC) of curcumin in ZEIN-HTCC complexes were 92.2% and 0.6%, respectively. After encapsulation, the resistance of curcumin to thermal, natural light and UV irradiation, as well as the antioxidative activity were improved significantly (P
