Fabrication of Electrospun Eugenol/Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complex Nanofibrous Webs for Enhanced Antioxidant Property, Water Solubility, and High Temperature Stability

Fabrication of Electrospun Eugenol/Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complex Nanofibrous Webs for Enhanced Antioxidant Property, Water Solubility, and High Temperature Stability.

In this study, inclusion complexes (IC) of three cyclodextrin derivatives (HP-β-CD, HP-γ-CD, and M-β-CD) with eugenol (essential oil compound) were formed in highly concentrated aqueous solutions and then transformed into self-standing functional nanofibrous webs by electrospinning. The improved aqueous solubility of eugenol was confirmed by phase solubility diagrams, in addition, the phase sol...

Thymol/cyclodextrin inclusion complex nanofibrous webs: Enhanced water solubility, high thermal stability and antioxidant property of thymol.

The development of novel nanomaterials that provide an efficient encapsulation and protection for the active food additives is one of the main focuses of current research efforts at food application areas. From this point of view, in this study, nanofibrous webs from inclusion complexes (IC) of modified cyclodextrins (hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HPγCD) an...

Menthol/cyclodextrin inclusion complex nanofibers: Enhanced water-solubility and high-temperature stability of menthol

Cyclodextrins are capable of forming non-covalent host-guest inclusion complexation with variety of molecules in order to enhance water-solubility and thermal stability of such hydrophobic and volatile molecules. Menthol, an efficient antibacterial and flavour/fragrance agent, is used in various applications like food, pharmacy, cosmetics, however, its low water-solubility and high volatility s...

Antioxidant electrospun zein nanofibrous web encapsulating quercetin/cyclodextrin inclusion complex

Polymer-free nanofibers from vanillin/cyclodextrin inclusion complexes: high thermal stability, enhanced solubility and antioxidant property.

Vanillin/cyclodextrin inclusion complex nanofibers (vanillin/CD-IC NFs) were successfully obtained from three modified CD types (HPβCD, HPγCD and MβCD) in three different solvent systems (water, DMF and DMAc) via an electrospinning technique without using a carrier polymeric matrix. Vanillin/CD-IC NFs with uniform and bead-free fiber morphology were successfully produced and their free-standing...
