One-step self-assembly of curcumin-loaded zein/sophorolipid nanoparticles: physicochemical stability, redispersibility, solubility and bioaccessibility

Alcohol-free curcumin-loaded zein/sophorolipid nanoparticles were fabricated by one-step self-assembly to overcome extreme hydrophobicity, inferior stability, and poor bioaccessibility of curcumin.
