Abstract:
Curcumin loaded octenylsuccinate fish scale gelatin (OFSG) was prepared in this study, to explore the potential of FSG for delivering hydrophobic nutrients. The effects of molecule weight (Mw, 22,677-369 g/mol) and degree of substitution (DS, 0-0.116) on the curcumin loading efficiency (CLE, μg/mL) of OFSG (6.98-26.85 mg/mL) were evaluated. The expose of interior hydrophobic groups in FSG and increased intermolecular hydrophobic area contributed to the loading of curcumin in two phases, respectively. The interaction between OFSG and curcumin showed a decreased absorption in FTIR and an increased crystallinity in XRD. The loading of curcumin into OFSG caused a significant decrease of the particle size (from 350-12,070 to 139-214 nm), PDI (from 0.584-0.659 to 0.248-0.347) and ζ-potential (-12.2 or -11.4 to -21.0 or -20.3). OFSG showed a significantly higher stability and lower release of curcumin than FSG at the end of the simulated gastrointestinal digestion. Thus, OFSG showed great potential in the construction of a carrier for hydrophobic nutrients.
