Abstract Curcumin and resveratrol are polyphenols widely used as nutraceuticals because of their strong antioxidant activities and potential health benefits. In this study, the possibility of improving their water-dispersibility, chemical stability, and bioaccessibility using core-shell nanoparticles was examined. The hydrophobic core was fabricated from zein-epigallocatechin gallate conjugates using an antisolvent precipitation method, while the shell was fabricated by coating the core with a biosurfactant (rhamnolipid). The yield, size, morphology, charge (ΞΆ-potential), and loading efficiency of these core-shell nanoparticles were characterized. The nanoparticles formed were anionic spheres with mean diameters
