Food Hydrocoll.∣Professor Wang Shaoyun from Fuzhou University: It has a pH-adjustable assembly microstructure, gel mechanics and curcumin encapsulation

Recently, Chen Huimin (first author), School of Materials Science and Engineering , Fuzhou University, Wang Shaoyun (corresponding author), School of Biological Science and Engineering, etc.
, published an online publication titled "Novel self-assembling peptide" in the international journal Food Hydrocolloids (District 1, IF: 9.
147).
"hydrogel with pH-tunable assembly microstructure, gel mechanics and the entrapment of curcumin" article
.

As a nutrient, protein has the physical and chemical effects of promoting health
.

Most of the physiological activities of proteins are carried out by peptides

Self-assembled peptide hydrogels have become a promising food active ingredient delivery platform system due to their excellent biocompatibility, reversibility and degradability, which can achieve local drug delivery and protect the activity of active ingredients
.

The self-assembled peptide hydrogels that have been reported include amino acid paired peptides, β-hairpin peptides, fluorene methoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) peptides and amphiphilic peptides

Therefore, Professor Wang Shaoyun’s team designed a new type of amphiphilic pentapeptide and regulates its self-assembly behavior, realizing the transformation from micro- and nano-particles to nano-fibers and then to hydrogels
.

And systematically explored its self-assembly mechanism and glue-forming rules
