Abstract: | The aim of the present study was to investigate the preparation of sodium caseinate-stabilized astaxanthin nanodispersions as potential active ingredients for food formulations in order to optimize processing conditions. Nanodispersions containing astaxanthin were prepared by an emulsification-evaporation processing technique. The influence of the processing conditions, namely, the pressure of the high-pressure homogenizer (20-90 MPa), the number of passes through the homogenizer (0-4) and the evaporation temperature (16-66 °C) on the physicochemical properties of the prepared astaxanthin nanodispersions were evaluated using a three-factor central composite design. Average particle size, polydispersity index (PDI) and astaxanthin loss in the prepared nanodispersions were considered as response variables. The multiple-response optimization predicted that using three passes through the high-pressure homogenizer at 30 MPa for the preparation of the astaxanthin nanoemulsion and then removing the organic phase (solvent) from the system by evaporation at 25 °C provided astaxanthin nanodispersions with optimum physicochemical properties. |
