Then, the particles were formed by heating at 80 ° C. for 30 minutes with gentle stirring (where the pH was adjusted to 2.4). The nanoparticles in the obtained solution were measured in particle size using a zeta potential / nanoparticle size measurement system (“Delsa Max PRO” manufactured by Beckman Coulter, Inc.).

Next, after adding 5 ml of a 1 mg / mL reduced CoQ10 ethanol solution, add a further 5 mM (0.162%) tripotassium citrate solution while adjusting the pH to 6 to 7 using a pH adjusting solution to adjust the final volume.

Therefore, instead of the gallate-type epigalocatechin, which has been conventionally used for the production of nanoparticles, an electrolyte commonly used in the production of foods such as tripotassium citrate was used to stably support the physiologically active substance. It turned out that nanoparticles can be produced.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne des nanoparticules caractérisées en ce qu'elles contiennent, sur la base des solides, 1 % en poids ou plus d'au moins une protéine animale sélectionnée dans le groupe constitué par une protéine du lactosérum, la gélatine, le collagène, et des produits décomposés de ces derniers, et de 0,001 % en poids ou plus d'un électrolyte, et en ce que le rapport pondéral, sur la base des solides, entre la protéine animale et l'électrolyte (électrolyte / protéine animale) est compris entre 0,001 et 1,0, et la taille moyenne des particules est compris entre 10 et 300 nm. Les nanoparticules selon la présente invention sont des nanoparticules contenant une moindre quantité de catéchine par rapport aux particules classiques et utilisant un électrolyte moins onéreux, et peuvent retenir de manière stable une substance biologiquement active.
