Nanoencapsulation of Centella asaitica (CA) crude chloroform extract seems to be an attractive approach that may improve drug bioavailability and drug delivery system. In the study, CA extract-loaded gelatin nanoparticles (CGNP) were developed by gelatin one-step and two-step desolvation methods, using three different ratios between CA crude chloroform extract and gelatin (1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 w/w). The antibacterial and antioxidants activities of CGNP and CA were compared. The antioxidant activity of CGNP and CA was evaluated by using DPPH radical scavenging assay and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. Results showed an enhancement of CGNP antibacterial activity against food borne pathogen. The highest inhibition diameters and FRAP determined from CGNP prepared by one-step at 1:4 ratios (1.03±0.39 cm and 1.23±019 mmol Fe2+/mg dried weight, respectively). However, CGNP was no significant difference in DPPH radical scavenging activity compared to CA. These results provide useful information for developing effective nanoencapsulation of CA as effective natural ingredient.
