Storage Stability of Wheat Germ Oil Encapsulated within Nanostructured Lipid Carriers
Authors
Abstract:
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of surfactant composition on the physical properties of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) containing wheat germ oil (WGO) and to investigate the influence of both surfactant composition and pH on the oxidative stability of WGO encapsulated within the NLCs. The results showed that the smallest particle size (52.7 nm) was related to the NLC with the poloxamer-to-lipid ratio of 1:1 (Polox-NLC-1). Polox-NLC-1 not only showed good stability during storage, but also indicated a suitable physical structure from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. The oxidative stability results indicated that the NLCs were more successful than O/W emulsion in protecting the WGO from oxidation. Additionally, the oxidative stability of the NLC with the poloxamer-to-lipid ratio of 2:1 (Polox-NLC-2) looked promising. Furthermore, NLCs prepared with the surfactant of poloxamer as a non-ionic surfactant had greater oxidative stability at high pH, and NLC prepared with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as an ionic surfactant had greater oxidative stability at low pH. These findings indicated that NLC could be an effective delivery and protection system for the WGO as a source of bioactive compounds.

The purpose of the present study was follow the influence of periodical storage (at room temperature, 25-30°C), on the stability of oil including primary and secondary oxidation, total oxidation as well as conjugation. Color intensity at 430 nm of the oil samples was also evaluated to show changes of color during periodical storage. It was generally found peroxide value, panisidine, total oxida...
full textInactivation of Lipase and Lipoxygenase of Wheat Germ with Temperature-Controlled Short Wave Infrared Radiation and Its Effect on Storage Stability and Quality of Wheat Germ Oil
Wheat germ (WG) is quite susceptible to deterioration due to the presence of lipase (LA) and lipoxygenase (LOX). Therefore it is indispensable to adopt a stabilization step to decrease the activity of LA and LOX while retaining a maximum level of nutrients. But over-drying can make foodstuffs more susceptible to autoxidation. So a stabilization protocol for inactivating LA and LOX of WG with a ...

Oral delivery is the most accepted and economical route for drug administration and leads to substantial reduction in dosing frequency. However, this route still remains a challenge for the pharmaceutical industry due to poorly soluble and permeable drugs leading to poor oral bioavailability. Incorporating bioactives into nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) has helped in boosting their therape...

Given its advantages in skin application (eg, hydration, antiaging, and protection), argan oil could be used in both dermatological and cosmetic formulations. Therefore, the preparation of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) using argan oil as a liquid lipid is a promising technique, since the former constitute well-established systems for dermal delivery. The aim of this work was to develop a...
