    Study on properties of peanut protein isolate-polylactic acid blend solution and electrospun nanofiber morphology

    • 摘要: 为制备基于花生分离蛋白的静电纺丝纳米纤维,将花生分离蛋白(PPI)和聚乳酸(PLLA)以质量比1:1混合制备共混溶液,研究共混溶液的质量浓度(0.06~0.14 g/mL)对共混溶液性质及静电纺丝纳米纤维形貌结构的影响。通过测定共混溶液的性质(电导率、表面张力和表观黏度)以及用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)观察静电纺丝纳米纤维的微观结构,并利用Image Plus Pro 6软件计算纤维直径,来确定最佳的共混溶液质量浓度。结果表明:对于不同质量浓度的共混溶液,其表面张力在16.81~18.31 mN/m范围内,随着共混溶液质量浓度增加,其电导率显著降低(P<0.05),表观黏度增加(P<0.05),纤维直径也逐渐增大;当共混溶液质量浓度低于0.10 g/mL,将无法完全牵伸纤维,成纤性较差,同时还有串珠形成,在相邻纤维之间出现粘连现象;共混溶液质量浓度大于0.10 g/mL,制备出的静电纺丝纳米纤维则具有较均匀的直径及良好的形貌。实现了花生分离蛋白纳米纤维制造,为其在食品工业、生物医药等领域的应用奠定了基础。

       

      Abstract: In recent years, the research and application of biodegradable materials have attracted great attentions of researchers. As a renewable and abundant resource, peanut protein isolate has various advantages, such as high biocompatibility, biodegradability, and processability. Therefore, it has been applied widely in food industry, agriculture, biological science, and biotechnology. Electrospinning technology has become one of the simplest and most effective methods to directly and continuously prepare nanofibers, and its operation mode is gentle. Meanwhile, electrospun nanofibers have many advantages such as high porosity, high specific surface area, high gas permeability, and small fiber pore size. In the food industry, on the one hand, nanofibers prepared by electrospinning technology can be used as a delivery system for some biologically active substances (e.g., natural polyphenols, enzymes, etc.) to enhance their performance in food processing and stabilities and bioactivities in the body. On the other hand, the nano-antibacterial film prepared by electrospinning technology can effectively inhibit spoilage bacteria on the food surface, thereby extending the shelf life of the food. To provide technical basis for the preparation of electrospun nanofibers of peanut protein isolate, in this study, peanut protein isolate (PPI) and polylactic acid (PLLA) was mixed at a mass ratio of 1:1 to prepare a blended solution, and the mass concentration of the blended solution (0.06-0.14 g/mL) on the properties of the blended solution and the morphology of electrospun nanofibers were analyzed. The best mass concentration of blending solution was determined by measuring the properties of the blended solution (conductivity, surface tension, and apparent viscosity, etc), characterizing the microstructure of the electrospun nanofibers with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and calculate the fiber diameter using Image Plus Pro 6 software. The results showed that for the blended solutions with different mass concentrations, the surface tension was in the range of 16.81-18.31 mN/m. As the mass concentration of the blended solution increased, the conductivity decreased significantly (P< 0.05), the apparent viscosity increased (P< 0.05), and the fiber diameter gradually increased. When the mass concentration of the blended solution was lower than 0.10 g/mL, the fiber cannot be fully drawn, indicating that the fibrillation was poor. Meanwhile, beads were formed between adjacent fibers and adhesion occurred. When the mass concentration of the blend solution was greater than 0.10 g/mL, the prepared electrospun nanofibers had a relatively uniform diameter and a good morphology. This research achieved the manufacture of peanut protein isolate nanofibers, providing a basis for its application in food, biomedicine, and other fields.
