Abstract
In this study, starch-based nanofiber mats were successfully prepared from aqueous solution by electrospinning and used for probiotic encapsulation for the first time. The physicochemical properties of the octenylsuccinated (OS) starch/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) blend solutions were systematically investigated. Through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction spectra analysis, it was found that miscibility and hydrogen bonding interactions exist between OS starch and PVA molecules. Thermogravimetric analysis and derivative thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the produced nanofibers possess satisfactory thermal stability. Scanning electron microscopy images and diameter distribution histograms showed that continuous and defect-free nanofibers were obtained and along with the increase in the weight ratio of OS starch, the average diameter gradually decreased. In addition, it was confirmed that the probiotics were successfully encapsulated in nanofiber mats. The survival rates of Lactobacillus plantarum AB-1 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG encapsulated in nanofibers were as high as 94.63% and 92.42%, respectively, significantly higher than those of traditional freeze-drying. Moreover, compared to free cells, probiotics encapsulated in nanofiber mats retained better viability after 21 days of storage at 4 and 25°C, and showed remarkably higher survival rates after exposure to simulated gastric and intestinal fluid. This study showed that the developed nanofibers can be a promising encapsulation system for the protection of probiotics.
期刊介绍：
The goal of the Journal of Food Science is to offer scientists, researchers, and other food professionals the opportunity to share knowledge of scientific advancements in the myriad disciplines affecting their work, through a respected peer-reviewed publication. The Journal of Food Science serves as an international forum for vital research and developments in food science.
The range of topics covered in the journal include:
-Concise Reviews and Hypotheses in Food Science
-New Horizons in Food Research
-Integrated Food Science
-Food Chemistry
-Food Engineering, Materials Science, and Nanotechnology
-Food Microbiology and Safety
-Sensory and Consumer Sciences
-Health, Nutrition, and Food
-Toxicology and Chemical Food Safety
The Journal of Food Science publishes peer-reviewed articles that cover all aspects of food science, including safety and nutrition. Reviews should be 15 to 50 typewritten pages (including tables, figures, and references), should provide in-depth coverage of a narrowly defined topic, and should embody careful evaluation (weaknesses, strengths, explanation of discrepancies in results among similar studies) of all pertinent studies, so that insightful interpretations and conclusions can be presented. Hypothesis papers are especially appropriate in pioneering areas of research or important areas that are afflicted by scientific controversy.
