Abstract
This study aimed to develop a novel and stable delivery system based on zein and Auricularia cornea Ehrenb polysaccharides (ACEP) for quercetin (Que). The pH-driven self-assembly combined with electrostatic deposition methods were employed to construct zein-ACEP nanoparticles (ZA NPs). The optimized nanocomposite was prepared at zein: ACEP mass ratios of 3:2, and it had superior ionic strength stability (0–75 mM NaCl), thermal stability (80°C for 30 min), average diameter of 185.6 nm, zeta-potential of −42.8 mV, and Que encapsulation efficiency of 75.8 %. The assembly of composites was facilitated primarily by hydrophobic, hydrogen-bonding, and electrostatic interactions. Que encapsulated with ZA NPs exhibited superior light stability, stronger antioxidant activity, and bioaccessibility than Que. Additionally, ZA NPs showed sustainable release capacity, and Que release from nanoparticles is consistent with an anomalous (non-Fickian) transport dominated by skeleton erosion. These findings demonstrate that ZA NPs have potential applications as an effective and viable delivery system for Que in functional food fields.
