Background As an excellent delivery material for bioactive compounds, zein nanoparticles
are limited by colloidal instability. Recently, the development of their surface coating has …

Curcumin, commonly used as a coloring agent as well as food additive, has exhibited great
therapeutic efficacy for development of functional foods. In order to expand its applications in …

A pH-sensitive food freshness indicator film (PS-CS-BA) was fabricated with potato starch
(PS) as film-forming substrate, blueberry anthocyanins (BA) as an indicator, and chondroitin …

Although magnolol (Mag), an anti-inflammatory natural compound, has been demonstrated
to play protective effects on ulcerative colitis (UC), its application as an alternative …

Resveratrol is a well-studied dietary polyphenol with diverse health-promoting bioactivities.
However, the aqueous insolubility and chemical instability of resveratrol hamper its practical …

Pterostilbene is a hydrophobic phytochemical with extensive potential physiological
functions. However, the incorporation of pure pterostilbene into functional foods or …

The purpose of this paper was to overcome the challenges of curcumin by zein/tea saponin
composite nanoparticles (Z/TSNPs) without any organic reagents and high-energy …

The purpose of the present research was to examine the ability of Tremella polysaccharide
(TP) to stabilize zein nanoparticles (zein NPs) and appraise the performance of …

In this study, we used fucoidan (FD), a sulfated polysaccharide, to stabilize zein and obtain a
composite nanosystem with better performance that can be used to encapsulate and deliver …

Zein nanoparticles (ZNPs) have limited use as a result of its poor colloidal stability. The goal
of this paper is to stabilize ZNPs using a sulfated anionic polysaccharide—dextran sulfate …
