To enhance the aqueous dispersibility of ceramide (Cer) NP, composites were prepared with high amylose maize starch nanoparticles (HSNP) using dry heat treatment. Differential scanning calorimetry results indicated that dry heat treatment at 120 °C for 120 min minimized the recrystallization of Cer NP in the presence of HSNP. Cer NP (2, 4, and 10 mg) were mixed with 100 mg of HSNP, and the mixture and subjected to optimized dry heat treatment to form composites. For all Cer NP concentrations, dry heat treatment shifted FT-IR peaks from 1613 to 1649 cm
