케이신 포스포펩티드/키토올리고당 나노 복합체의 유식품 적용 연구

초록

The aim of this research was to investigate the potential application of casein phospho- peptide (CPP)/chitosan oligosaccharide (CSO) nanocomplexes to dairy foods. The physical stability of CPP/CSO nanocomplexes during storage in model dairy foods including milk and yogurt was assessed by measuring the size and polydispersity index of the nanocom- plexes. Encapsulation efficiency and in vitro vitamin D release from CPP/CSO nanocomplexes during gastrointestinal digestion were determined using HPLC. CPP/CSO nanocomplexes with increased CPP concentrations and decreased pH displayed significantly increased average particle size. During storage in model dairy foods, CPP/CSO nanocomplexes pre- pared with lower CPP concentrations and raised pH exhibited excellent physical stability. Vitamin D encapsulation efficiency increased significantly (p<0.05) as CPP concentration and/or pH decreased. Less than 3% vitamin D were released under gastric digestion conditions in vitro, while 91% of encapsulated vitamin D was released by 2 h of incubation under intestinal conditions, indicating that CPP/CSO nanocomplexes could effectively protect vitamin D from gastric conditions for delivery to the intestines. In conclusion, CPP/CSO nanocomplexes can be applied to dairy foods as an effective vitamin D delivery system.
