Zein–Pectin Nanoparticles as Delivery Carriers
Source: Journal of Food Bioactives · 2026
Deamidated zein coated with pectin formed nanoparticles that encapsulated quercetin with high loading efficiency and improved in-vitro bioaccessibility (study conditions).
Key findings
- Deamidated-zein/pectin particles reached a mean size of ~158 nm with quercetin loading of ~89.5% (paper conditions).
- In-vitro bioaccessibility of the encapsulated quercetin was improved relative to the unencapsulated control.
- These are materials-science results in model systems; the study makes no human-health efficacy claim — and neither do we.
What this means for your formulation
Delivery-system research matters if you formulate with sensitive actives. Pectin's role as a protective wall material is a growing application field we follow closely.
