The invention provides a
curcumin preparation and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: stirring and mixing
whey protein and water; adding a NaOH solution into the
system, and stirring and mixing; adding zein into the
system, and continuously stirring; adding
curcumin, propylene
sulfide and
soya bean lecithin into the
system, stirring and mixing, and adjusting the pH value to 6.5; adding
mannitol into the system, stirring until the
mannitol is dissolved, and then performing vacuum
freeze drying to obtain a dry sample; and mixing with auxiliary materials to obtain the
curcumin preparation. The powdery curcumin preparation is prepared through a
protein encapsulation method,
soybean lecithin is added in the
protein encapsulation process, the encapsulation efficiency can reach 92.35%, the particle size of effective components is smaller than 100 nm,
particle size distribution is concentrated, the water
solubility of curcumin is improved, and the
bioavailability of curcumin is improved; a small amount of propylene
sulfide is added in the curcumin encapsulation process, and it is found that due to addition of propylene
sulfide, curcumin and propylene sulfide generate a synergistic effect, and the anti-inflammatory effect of the preparation is promoted.
