This study investigates the synthesis and characterization of zein nanoparticles (ZNp) loaded with grape pomace extract (GPE) from Vitis vinifera L. for applications in controlled release antioxidant delivery. Grape pomace, a byproduct winemaking industry, is rich bioactive compounds, including phenols flavonoids, which possess properties. To overcome limitations these such as photosensitivity thermal degradation, they were incorporated into using antisolvent technique. The physicochemical properties ZNp-GPE system thoroughly characterized, size, morphology, ζ-potential, total phenol content. Results showed high encapsulation efficiency (89–97%) favorable loading capacities. Characterization techniques, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), confirmed that GPE was successfully nanoparticles, thereby enhancing their process did not significantly alter spherical morphology resulted decrease particle size. Total content analysis effectively retained confirming potential efficient delivery systems antioxidants. approach only provides method protecting bioavailability natural antioxidants but also contributes to valorization agricultural waste, promoting sustainability bio-based industries.
