Progress in the field of biology and biochemistry has led to the discovery of numerous bioactive
peptides and proteins in the last few decades. Delivery of therapeutic proteins/peptides has received a considerable
amount of attention in recent years. Methods: In this study, a two-step desolvation method was used to produce
biodegradable hydrophilic gelatin nanoparticles (GNP) as a delivery system of protein model (BSA). The size and
shape of the nanoparticles were examined by dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy. Results:
Particles with a mean diameter of 200-300 nm were produced and the percentage of entrapment efficiency was
found to be 87.4. The optimum amount of theoretical BSA loading was obtained, the release of BSA was monitored
in vitro, and the mechanism of release was studied. The BSA release profile showed a biphasic modulation
characterized by an initial, relatively rapid release period, followed by a slower release phase. Conclusion: Results
show that the two-step desolvation is an appropriate method for preparing GNP as a delivery vehicle for BSA.
