AI Technical Summary
Astaxanthin is easily degraded during processing and storage, has poor water solubility, and low oral bioavailability, which limits its application in functional foods and beverages.
An ovomucoid-pectin-ε-polylysine hydrochloride composite nanogel system was adopted. The nanogel was formed by electrostatic interaction to encapsulate astaxanthin and form a stable core-shell structure to improve its water solubility and stability.
It significantly improves the water solubility and dispersion stability of astaxanthin, enhances its antioxidant activity, enables controlled release, maintains stability under extreme environments, reduces the risk of organic residues, and facilitates large-scale production.
