Preparing Kaempferol Nanosuspension (KNS) using High Pressure Homogenization (HPH) technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background During the last decades, researchers have provided a plethora of therapeutic uses of kaempferol, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, anti-oxidative and anti-oestrogenic activities, making kaempferol a valuable compound [1]. However, being a poor water-soluble compound, kaempferol often has insufficient solubility and bioavailability [2].To find a solution for this limitation, this research project mainly focuses on formulating a kaempferol nanosuspension (KNS) using High Pressure Homogenisation (HPH), followed by performing physiological characterization. Kaempferol nanosuspensions are supposed to have a better bioavailability in animal models or even human subjects in future experiments, thereby reducing oral drug dosage required by consumers.

Traditionally, the shelf-life and safety of foods have been achieved by thermal processing. Low temperature long time and high temperature short time treatments are the most commonly used hurdles for the pasteurization of fluid foods and raw materials. However, the thermal treatments can reduce the product quality and freshness. Consequently, some non-thermal pasteurization process have been pr...

Conventional high-pressure homogenization (HPH) is widely used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries among others. In general, its aim is to produce micron or sub-micron scale emulsions with excellent product characteristics. However, its energy consumption is still very high. Additionally, several limitations and boundaries impede the usage of high-pressure homogenization for sp...
