Preparation of a nanostructured multi-phase lipid carrier for iron encapsulation: A lipase-triggered release of ferric ions

A multi-phase lipid particle, a novel iron carrier, was prepared using mixture of wax (derived from rice bran) and coconut oil. high shear homogenization method employed for particle processing. The main body the consisted waxy matrix containing nanostructured oil phases. When these particles were dispersed in an aqueous solution with lipase, phases digested free fatty acids released. Water droplets dissolved ferric ammonium sulfate emulsified oil, this W/O emulsion used preparation. This designed triggered release ions due to action digestive enzyme. We successfully demonstrated preparation ranging size 10–160 μm lipase-induced ions.
