Nanoparticles/nanoencapsulation systems from environmentally friendly materials like polysaccharides have gained considerable attention in recent years due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and renewability. We have developed technology to convert water-insoluble alpha-glucans, synthesized from recombinant Leuconostoc mesenteroides glucansucrase and sucrose, into nanoparticles using high-pressure homogenization. These nanoparticles can be created under different pH-conditions and have long-term storage stability up to 60 °C. In this study, we show that these nanoparticles can encapsulate water-soluble or water-insoluble materials for controlled release.
