    Fabrication and characterization of zein nanofibers integrated with gold nanospheres
    (LWT, 2022-02-01) Cetinkaya, Turgay; Wijaya, Wahyu; Altay, Filiz; Ceylan, Zafer
    The synthesis, characterization, and coating effect of zein nanofibers integrated with gold nanospheres were studied. Zein solution including ethanol/liquid gold nanospheres (80/20 v/v) was prepared to produce complex nanofibers. Dielectric constant (ε′), dielectric loss factor (ε′′), and loss tangent (ε′′/ε′) values of feed solutions were evaluated at 300 and 3000 MHz, and electrical conductivity was measured (808.67 ± 2.082 μs/cm). SEM image showed a bead free structure of the gold-zein complex. Zeta potential and DLS measurements (translational diffusion coefficient, hydrodynamic radii, polydispersity index, major axis) were done by dispersing nanofibers in ethanol or water. The stability of nanofiber dispersed in ethanol was higher (+41.73 mV) compared to that of dispersed in water (+5.1 mV). Molecular characterization by FTIR confirmed the formation of the zein-gold complex through a nitrogen-gold coordination bond and electrostatic interactions. The gold-zein nanofibers coating in sea bream fillets reduced 17.8% of total mesophilic bacteria (TMAB) compared to the uncoated group (p < 0.05) after 8 days of observation. The highest changes in ε′ for uncoated (57.65%) and coated samples (14.84%) during storage showed the positive impact of nanofiber treatment. These results showed that zein nanofibers with gold nanospheres could be potentially used as antimicrobial layer for food products.

    Nanoencapsulation of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) extract in zein nanofibers and their application for the preservation of sea bass fillets
    (LWT, 2022-06-15) Najafi, Zahra; Cetinkaya, Turgay; Bildik, Fatih; Altay, Filiz; Şahin Yeşilçubuk, Neşe
    In this study, saffron extract (SE) was encapsulated in zein nanofibers (ZNs) via electrospinning and then ZNs loaded with SE (ZNLSE) were applied as a nanocoating material. The effects of different zein concentrations (15%, 25%, and 30% w/v), SE concentrations (5% and 10% w/w) and the applied voltages on the morphology of ZNs were studied. The thermal stability of ZNs decreased with the addition of SE as determined by DSC. The molecular interaction between SE and zein was confirmed by ATR-FTIR. The encapsulation efficiency of crocins and picrocrocin, in ZNLSE (10%), were 64% and 47%, respectively assessed by HPLC. The antioxidant activity of ZNLSE (56.3%) was higher than that of the ZNs as assessed by ABTS method. Chemical deterioration in the control and coated fish fillets was monitored in terms of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), peroxide value (PV), free fatty acid (FFA) and pH. The TVBN values of the treated samples were 30% lower than those of the control group on 8th day of cold storage. The results of this study indicated that ZNLSE has a significant potential as a coating material for prolonging the shelf lives of solid foods such as fish fillets.
