Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of proanthocyanidins content on physicochemical properties of amylose-proanthocyanidins complex nanoparticles. The results indicated that the molecular dynamics simulation confirmed the proanthocyanidin could bind in the helical structure of amylose, and Van der Waals force was the main driving forces for the formation of the amylose-proanthocyanidins complexes. All the amylose-proanthocyanidins complex nanoparticles presented V-type crystalline structure, and the mean size values increased with the increasing of proanthocyanidins content. Cell viability analysis showed that the amylose-proanthocyanidins complex nanoparticles displayed a trend of cell viability remained more than 85 %, indicated the prepared complexes were non-toxic. When the amylose-proanthocyanidins complex nanoparticles were used in Pickering emulsion, the sizes of the emulsion droplets were all belonged to nanoscale, while the fresh Pickering emulsion stabilized by amylose nanoparticles without proanthocyanidin resulted a severe oiling off at the top phase of emulsions. The cryogenic scanning electron microscopy also showed that this kind of nanoparticles formed firm mechanical barrier between the oil droplets to prevent coalescence during emulsion formation. This study proposed the properties of amylose-proanthocyanidins complex nanoparticles and provided guidance for its future development.
