Effect of Surfactant Concentration on the Particle Size, Stability and Potential Zeta of Beta carotene Nano Lipid Carrier

There are different strategies for prevention of degradation of vitamin A and its procure i.e. beta carotene from light, oxygen and environment conditions, so it is of interest highly lipophilic compounds that must be integrated into a suitable colloidal delivery system before it can be distributed into an aqueous-based beverage (Hentschel-Test, 2008). The encapsulation of lipophilic nutraceutical compounds like beta carotene in lipid-based carrier systems has different advantage. For example, controlled release to its target site at the right period of time, prevention of degradation and inactivation during process, storage, higher bioavailability due to higher ratio of surface area to volume and no decrease in transparency because of little size of ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 4 Number 9 (2015) pp. 924-932 http://www.ijcmas.com
