Abstract

High-frequency sound waves enable precise nanostructure synthesis via acoustic cavitation, improving material properties and allowing eco-friendly fabrication. A 24 kHz ultrasonic source was developed using global components and applied to coat vitamin B12 with zein, forming a core-shell nanostructure. Analysis with FTIR, XRD, SAXS, and SEM revealed optimal encapsulation at 1.3 A, showing smoother surfaces and stable capsule-like morphology with minimal crystallinity. Higher currents, like 1.7 A, caused structural degradation and aggregation. SEM and XRD confirmed that 1.3 A yields the most uniform and stable nanocapsules. The results demonstrate that the ultrasonic system developed for this study is not only effective, but also reproducible and scalable for advanced nanomaterial synthesis. This success offers a promising pathway for future applications in drug delivery and bioengineering.
