Abstract

This study evaluated cryogels from albumin (ALB) and albumin–pectin (ALB:PEC) as carriers for pink pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi) essential oil. Cryogels were evaluated through infrared spectrophotometry, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. The bioactivity of the cryogels was analyzed by measuring their encapsulation efficiency (EE%), the antimicrobial activity of the encapsulated oil against S. aureus, E. coli, and B. cereus using the agar diffusion method; total phenolic content and antioxidant activity were analyzed by UV-vis spectrophotometry. The EE% varied between 59.61% and 77.41%. The cryogel with only ALB had the highest total phenolic content with 2.802 mg GAE/g, while the cryogel with the 30:70 ratio (ALB:PEC) presented a value of 0.822 mg GAE/g. A higher proportion of PEC resulted in a more significant inhibitory activity against S. aureus, reaching an inhibition zone of 18.67 mm. The cryogels with ALB and 70:30 ratio (ALB:PEC) presented fusion endotherms at 137.16 °C and 134.15 °C, respectively, and semicrystalline structures. The interaction between ALB and PEC increased with their concentration, as evidenced by the decreased intensity of the O-H stretching peak, leading to lower encapsulation efficiency. The cryogels obtained can be considered a suitable matrix for encapsulating pink pepper oil.

白蛋白和低甲氧基酰胺化果胶冷冻凝胶中的粉红胡椒精油（Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi）封装技术

本研究对白蛋白（ALB）和白蛋白-pectin（ALB:PEC）冷凝胶作为粉红胡椒（Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi）精油的载体进行了评估。通过红外分光光度法、X 射线衍射、扫描电子显微镜、热重分析和差示扫描量热法对冷冻凝胶进行了评估。通过测量封装效率（EE%）、琼脂扩散法测定封装油对金黄色葡萄球菌、大肠杆菌和蜡样芽孢杆菌的抗菌活性，分析了冷冻凝胶的生物活性；通过紫外可见分光光度法分析了总酚含量和抗氧化活性。EE% 在 59.61% 和 77.41% 之间。只有 ALB 的低温凝胶总酚含量最高，为 2.802 毫克 GAE/克，而 30:70 比例（ALB:PEC）的低温凝胶的总酚含量为 0.822 毫克 GAE/克。PEC 的比例越高，对金黄色葡萄球菌的抑制活性越强，抑制区达到 18.67 毫米。ALB和70:30比例（ALB:PEC）的冷凝胶分别在137.16 ℃和134.15 ℃出现熔融内温，并呈现半晶体结构。ALB 和 PEC 之间的相互作用随其浓度的增加而增加，这从 O-H 伸展峰强度的降低可以看出，从而导致封装效率降低。所获得的冷凝胶可被视为封装粉红胡椒油的合适基质。
