Abstract

Kaempferol (Kae), a flavonoid is endowed with various functions. However, due to its poor water solubility and stability, its application in the food and pharmaceutical fields remains elusive. Emerging reports have emphasized the importance of bovine serum albumin (BSA), and glycosylated BSA (GBSA) prepared in the nature deep eutectic solvent system as drug delivery system carriers. In our study, ultraviolet and fluorescence spectra revealed the higher interactions of BSA and GBSA with Kae. Through analysis of Z-average diameter, zeta-potential, polydispersity index (PDI), encapsulation efficiency (EE), loading capacity (LC) of BSA-Kae nanocomplexes (NPs) and GBSA-Kae NPs, GBSA-Kae NPs showed a higher absolute value of zeta-potential and lower PDI, while its EE and LC were also higher. Structural characterization and stability analysis revealed that GBSA-Kae NPs had more stable properties. This study laid the theoretical foundation for improving the solubility and stability of Kae during its delivery and transport.
