Abstract
Water-insoluble zein (corn prolamins) has great potential for use as delivery systems. In this study, stable zein nanoparticle dispersions were produced using a pH-cycle method to form complexes with sodium caseinate (NaCas) without using an organic solvent. NaCas was mixed with zein at pH 11.5 and the subsequent neutralization to pH 7.0 enabled the co-assembly of zein and NaCas. The mean hydrodynamic diameter of spherical nanoparticles was...
