Abstract Fully elucidating the protein-ligand interaction mechanisms can help us better construct the nanocarrier to delivery fucoxanthin. Thus, in this study, the complexes comprising fucoxanthin and whey proteins were constructed and characterized, using bovine serum albumin (BSA), β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg), and α-lactoalbumin (α-La). The binding processes were also investigated using multi-spectroscopic methods and molecular docking. The results indicated that the skeletons of BSA/β-Lg/α-La were loosened and unfolded, and the protein aggregates were formed with a nano scale (
