Biography
Dr. Shuhong Li is a lecture of the college of Food Engineering and Biotechnology, Tianjin University of Science and Technology. She graduated from Agricultural University of Hebei with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in food science in 2008 and 2011 respectively. She obtained her doctoral degree in food science from University of Tsukuba in 2014 and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at University of Tsukuba in Japan. She has served as a lecturer since January 2015 in Tianjin University of Science & Technology.
Research Interests
It is an important means to improve the solubility, stability and bioavailability of nutrients by the design and construction of nanoparticles using protein and polysaccharides. So far, the problem of low loading rate, burst release and unclear release mechanism is not conducive to the effective delivery and utilization of nutrients. Base on the particular structure and self-assembly characteristics of zein, the construction of hollow zein/chitosan nanoparticle was put forward, in which the hollow structure could improve the loading rate and slow release of the guest molecules. First of all, hollow zein/chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by sacrifice template method and nonsolvent induce phase separation method. Secondly, solid zein/chitosan nanoparticles as control, the characterization and properties of hollow zein/chitosan nanoparticles were analyzed. The properties of the delivery system were studied and the assembly mechanism was elucidated. Finally, curcumin was used as a model to study the loading rate and elucidate the mechanism of the release of nutrients from the hollow zein/chitosan nanoparticle. This project provides a theoretical basis for enriching nano nutrient delivery system, and has important guiding significance for the application of nanotechnology in food science.
