This invention discloses
fucoidan-
phycocyanin nanoparticles loaded with
astaxanthin. The nanoparticles are formed by the self-
assembly of
fucoidan and
phycocyanin through electrostatic interactions and
hydrogen bonds to form a carrier, encapsulating
astaxanthin within. The nanoparticles have a particle size of 250 nm–350 nm, an absolute
zeta potential ≥20 mV, a polydispersity index ≤0.30, and an
astaxanthin encapsulation efficiency ≥78%. The composite preservation film uses
carboxymethyl cellulose as the film-forming matrix, with the nanoparticles uniformly dispersed therein. The
water contact angle is ≥90°, and the
water vapor transmission rate is ≤14%. g·mm / (m²·h·kPa),
ABTS free radical
scavenging rate ≥80%; This invention significantly improves the water
solubility and stability of astaxanthin through the ternary
synergy of
polysaccharide-
protein-active factors, realizing the integration of multiple functions of anti-oxidation, antibacterial and
physical barrier. When applied to grapes for
room temperature preservation for 10 days, the
weight loss rate is only 20.23%, and the
hardness is maintained at 7.87N. The preservation effect is significantly better than commercially available PE film and pure
carboxymethyl cellulose film. Moreover, the
composite film has good biodegradability and has broad application prospects in the field of
food preservation.
