ferulic acid lecithin-based nano-emulsions prepared by using spontaneous emulsification process
Authors
abstract
ferulic acid (4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid), an effective component of medical plant, is a phenolic acid with low toxicity that can be absorbed and easily metabolized in the human body. the solubility of ferulic acid (fa) is very low in aqueous solutions which can cause problem in preparation of pharmaceutical products, but it can easily be dissolved in oil/water interface of nano-emulsions. in the present work, a kind of ferulic acid nano-emulsion was prepared using the spontaneous emulsification method which occurs when an organic phase and an aqueous phase are mixed. a chemometrics approach has been used to optimize the size of fa nanoemulsions. the experiments were performed according to a box-behenken experimental design, one of the most suitable experimental design for modeling studies. the effect of three experimental parameters on droplet size was studied using multivariate analysis. the factors studied and the related levels were the concentration of lecithin (0.7-2 % w/w, in aqueous phase), the concentration of tween-80 (2-8 % w/w, in aqueous phase) and sounication time (10-45 minutes). in all the experiments, the water phase was added to the organic phase including lecithin, tween-80 and fa in ethanol solvent. then experimental droplet sizes were fitted to the polynomial model. good descriptive and predictive ability of the model was verified as high values of the statistics r2 (0.996)andf (112.5) were obtained for the linear relationship between predicted and experimental values of the dependent variable.

Formation and stability of Vitamin E nano-emulsion based delivery systems by spontaneous emulsification method: Glycerol as a co-solvent
There is considerable interest in using nano-emulsions (NEs) as delivery systems for lipophilicbioactive ingredients. In this study, the influence of G on the properties of vitamin E (VE) enriched NEsprepared using spontaneous emulsification (SE) method, were investigated. The particle size and optical clarityof the NEs depended strongly on the co-solvent presence, absence, an...
full textDispersion of oil into water using lecithin-Tween 80 blends: The role of spontaneous emulsification.
Lecithin-rich mixtures of the nontoxic surfactants lecithin and Tween 80 are effective marine oil spill dispersants, but produce much higher oil-water interfacial tension than other, comparably effective dispersants. This suggests interfacial phenomena other than interfacial tension influence lecithin-Tween 80 dispersants' effectiveness. The interface between seawater and dispersant-crude oil m...
full textPreparation of uniform particle-stabilized emulsions using SPG membrane emulsification.
Various aspects of particle-stabilized emulsions (or so-called Pickering emulsions) have been extensively investigated during the last two decades, but the preparation of uniform Pickering emulsion droplets via a simple and scalable method has been sparingly realized. We report the preparation of uniform Pickering emulsions by Shirasu porous glass (SPG) membrane emulsification. The size of the ...
full textStudies on the formation of O/W nano-emulsions, by low-energy emulsification method, suitable for cosmeceutical applications.
The formation of oil/water (O/W) nano-emulsions suitable for cosmeceutical application was studied. Nano-emulsions were prepared by using phase inversion composition (PIC) method, one of the low-energy emulsification methods. The process consist of stepwise water addition to oil/surfactant mixture, at T = 25°C. Caprylic/capric triglycerides (GTCC), propylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate (PC) an...
