Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microcapsules, and in particular to a maltodextrin-based temperature-responsive microcapsule and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Natural essential oils have multiple functions such as soothing, whitening, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and deodorizing, so they are widely used in skin care, aromatherapy, household cleaning, food preservation and other fields. With the development of social production and consumption levels and green chemistry, consumers' demand for natural essential oils will further increase. However, natural essential oils contain a large amount of terpene compounds, which are less stable and easily oxidized and deteriorated, which affects the practical application of essential oils.

[0003] Using microcapsule wall materials to encapsulate essential oils can reduce the contact between essential oils and the outside world and greatly improve the stability of essential oils. Maltodextrin is obtained by hydrolysis of starch. It is safe, has good water solubility and film-forming properties, stable physical and chemical properties, and low cost. It is very suitable for use as microcapsule wall materials. Thermosensitive materials such as gelatin undergo phase changes due to temperature changes. When the temperature is lower than the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) of the material, the material changes from liquid to solid. When the temperature is higher than the UCST of the material, the material changes from solid to liquid.

[0004] Chinese patent CN103949196A discloses a osmanthus essence microcapsule powder and its preparation method and application. The osmanthus essence microcapsule is a heat-resistant sustained-release type, and its components are calculated by weight percentage: 5-25% oil-soluble osmanthus essence; 30-47% modified gum arabic A-2010; 43-51% maltodextrin. The method is simple and controllable, with good repeatability. The aroma retention rate at high temperature reaches 85%, and the aroma retention rate in three months reaches 90%. It has high heat resistance and good sustained-release properties, but the osmanthus essence microcapsule cannot cope with changes in ambient temperature and can only passively release essential oils. Secondly, Chinese patent CN101104596A discloses a trimethylol long-chain alkane-diisocyanate adduct and its preparation method, and provides a temperature-responsive self-enclosed aromatic sustained-release microcapsule using the adduct as a raw material and its preparation method.

[0032] The present invention provides a maltodextrin-based temperature-responsive microcapsule, wherein the preparation of the maltodextrin-based temperature-sensitive material as a raw material and the mechanism of its controlled release of essential oil are as follows:

[0033] Maltodextrin is a soluble polysaccharide obtained by partial hydrolysis of starch. Its main component is an oligosaccharide composed of glucose units connected by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds, which contains a large number of hydroxyl groups. The binary (or higher) anhydride molecules contain multiple anhydride groups, which can make the hydroxyl groups in the maltodextrin molecules more reactive. Under weak alkaline conditions, the hydroxyl groups of maltodextrin are deprotonated and react with the anhydride groups to form ester bonds. Subsequently, the other (remaining) anhydride groups in the binary (or higher) anhydride molecules can react with the hydroxyl, carboxyl or amino groups of the temperature-sensitive material to form esters or amides, thereby ultimately achieving simultaneous grafting of maltodextrin with the temperature-sensitive material, and improving the mechanical strength, hygroscopicity and dispersibility of the composite wall material of maltodextrin and the temperature-sensitive material. The prepared maltodextrin-based temperature-responsive microcapsules are used to encapsulate core materials such as natural essential oils. In a low temperature environment, when the temperature is lower than the UCST of the thermosensitive wall material of the microcapsule, the activity of water molecules is weak, which enhances the hydrogen bonding between the thermosensitive wall material molecules and promotes the arrangement and cross-linking of the molecular chains, thereby forming a gel solid structure, making it difficult to release the essential oil. As the temperature rises, on the one hand, the mobility of water molecules increases, the interaction between the hydrophilic groups of the thermosensitive wall material and water increases, and the distance between the molecular chains of the thermosensitive wall material increases, which increases the mobility of the molecular chains, thereby promoting the dissolution of the wall material and releasing the essential oil. This method can be applied to skin care, food preservation, household cleaning and other fields because it can improve the stability of the core material and realize intelligent controlled release of the core material.

[0034] Compared with traditional microcapsules, the microcapsules prepared by the present invention can realize the controlled release of essential oils in response to changes in ambient temperature. At 4°C, the temperature-sensitive material condenses to form a gel solid structure, which prevents the release of essential oils. As the temperature rises to 32°C, the temperature-sensitive material interacts more with water molecules and dissolves, prompting the release of essential oils. In addition, the materials involved in the present invention have low or no toxicity, are environmentally friendly, and are in line with the trend of green development.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0036] (1) The maltodextrin-based temperature-responsive microcapsules provided by the present invention combine maltodextrin with a temperature-sensitive material by using a dibasic (or higher) acid anhydride to form a composite wall material, which can isolate the core material from the outside world, improve the stability of the core material, and realize intelligent controlled release of the core material through temperature changes.

[0037] (2) The temperature response characteristics of the maltodextrin-based temperature-responsive microcapsules provided by the present invention can be adjusted by adjusting the ratio of maltodextrin to the temperature-sensitive material.

[0038] (3) The maltodextrin-based temperature-responsive microcapsules provided by the present invention have uniformly dispersed sizes and exhibit excellent stability in a low-temperature environment.

[0039] (4) The maltodextrin-based temperature-responsive microcapsules provided by the present invention have a simple preparation process and can be widely used in many fields.

[0040] (5) The materials involved in the present invention are low in toxicity or non-toxic and biodegradable, which is in line with the trend of green development. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

It can be seen from the figure that the particle size of the microcapsules is uniform, and the average particle size is 2.656 μm.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] Dissolve 2g and 8g of maltodextrin and gelatin in 10g of water at 60℃ and 40℃, respectively, and stir at 600rpm for 2h.

It can be seen from the figure that at low temperature and 4°C, the prepared microcapsules have excellent stability and the essential oil is encapsulated in the microcapsules; at high temperature, i.e., 32°C, the essential oil is released.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] Weigh 5 groups of samples, the total mass of maltodextrin and gelatin in each group of samples is 9 grams, and the mass ratio of maltodextrin to gelatin is 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4 respectively. Dissolve the maltodextrin and gelatin in 10g water at 60℃ and 40℃ respectively and stir at 600rpm for 2h. Turn off the water bath heating to lower the solution temperature to room temperature, adjust the pH of the maltodextrin solution to 9, slowly add 2g of trimellitic anhydride and react for 5h. Add the previously dissolved gelatin solution to the solution and continue to react for 5h. During the entire reaction process, sodium hydroxide is continuously added to maintain the pH at 9. After the reaction is completed, the pH is adjusted to 7, the product is poured into anhydrous ethanol, precipitated, filtered, washed with anhydrous ethanol, and dried for use. 1 g of maltodextrin-based thermosensitive material was dissolved in 25 g of deionized water and stirred at 400 rpm for 120 min. 1.25 g of lavender essential oil was added to the solution and stirred for 30 min. 0.25 g of Tween 20 was added and stirred at 400 rpm for 30 min. The mixed solution was homogenized for 3 min to obtain an essential oil microcapsule solution.

[0054] The temperature response characteristics of the five groups of microcapsules prepared above were investigated. Cyclohexane was used as the solvent to prepare a series of gradient concentrations of 0.05 mg / ml, 0.1 mg / ml, 0.2 mg / ml, 0.25 mg / ml and 0.3 mg / ml of lavender oil, and a full spectrum scan of 1 mg / ml lavender essential oil was performed using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer to obtain a maximum absorption wavelength of 220 nm for lavender essential oil. The absorbance of the gradient concentration of lavender oil was measured at a fixed wavelength to draw a UV standard curve for lavender essential oil. Weigh 5 groups of essential oil microcapsule emulsions, 5 g each, and place them at 4 ° C, 12 ° C, 24 ° C, 32 ° C, and 40 ° C for 25 min. Take 0.25 g of the solution and mix it with 10 ml of cyclohexane, ultrasonicate for 3 min, centrifuge at 10000 rpm for 20 min, absorb the upper liquid, dilute it 20 times, and use an ultraviolet spectrophotometer to test its absorbance to obtain the release rate of the essential oil. Figure 3 The results show that the temperature response characteristics of the prepared essential oil microcapsules are optimal when the ratio of maltodextrin to gelatin is 1:3.

[0055] Example 4

[0056] Dissolve 2g and 6g of maltodextrin and gelatin in 10g of water at 60℃ and 40℃, respectively, and stir at 600rpm for 2h. Turn off the water bath heating, let the solution temperature drop to room temperature, adjust the pH of the maltodextrin solution to 7, slowly add 2g of adipic anhydride, and react for 3h. Add the previously dissolved gelatin solution to the solution and continue to react for 3h. During the entire reaction process, sodium hydroxide is continuously added to maintain the pH at 7.

Take 0.5g of maltodextrin-based thermosensitive material and dissolve it in 25g of deionized water, stir at 600rpm for 90min to dissolve, add 0.3g of lavender essential oil to the solution, stir for 30min, add 0.25g of Tween 80, stir at 600rpm for 30min, homogenize the mixed solution for 8min, and obtain an essential oil microcapsule emulsion.

[0057] The microcapsule emulsion was divided into 5 groups and applied to the mask cloth respectively, and then placed at 4°C and 32°C for 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, and 25 min respectively. Then, it was extracted with cyclohexane and the cumulative release of essential oil was obtained using a UV spectrophotometer. Figure 4 It indicates the cumulative release of essential oil in microcapsules on the mask cloth over time at different temperatures. The results show that the essential oil in the capsule is almost not released at 4°C, and the release rate at 32°C remains high, and the essential oil release rate can reach 78.41% after 25 minutes.
