This study aimed to produce omega-3-emriched broiler meat by using ultrasonicated flaxseed oil nanoemulsions coated with whey protein-sodium alginate. Three hundred 1-d-old (Ross, 308) male broiler chicks were allocated randomly to 5 experimental treatments with 4 replicate pens. Experimental treatments included basal diet (BD), basal diet plus flaxseed oil (BD+FO, 1 mL/kg/BW), basal diet plus ...

the topical delivery of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) such as ibuprofen has been explored as a potential method of avoiding the first pass effects and the gastric irritation, which may occur when used orally. ibuprofen is formulated into many topical preparations to reduce the adverse effects and simultaneously avoid the hepatic first-pass metabolism as well. however, it is dif...

Emulsions are liquid–liquid dispersions with one liquid phase dispersed in the other as small droplets. Nanoemulsions nano-sized emulsions sizes ranging from tens to hundreds of nanometers, and have great potential applications pharmaceutics, foods cosmetics due their attractive properties, such sizes, high surface area per unit volume, improved dispersion active hydrophobic components enhanced...

Lemon essential oil (LEO) is associated with a multitude of health benefits due to its anticancer, antioxidant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties. Its drawback that it very sensitive oxidation by heat. For this reason, researchers are increasingly investigating the use LEO in nanoemulsions. In work, we used laser diffraction, rheology multiple light scattering techniques ...

H. F. Fritz, A. C. Ortiz, J. O. Morales University of Chile Purpose As inks for inkjet printing are aqueous based, BCS class II and IV drugs are difficult to formulate. Nanoemulsions can incorporate poorly water soluble drugs in an oil phase dispersed in an aqueous media. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the potential of inkjet printing as a means to deposit nanoemul...

We report the formation of mesoporous organohydrogels from oil-in-water nanoemulsions containing an end-functionalized oligomeric gelator in the aqueous phase. The nanoemulsions exhibit an abrupt thermoreversible transition from a low-viscosity liquid to a fractal-like colloidal gel of droplets with mesoscale porosity and solid-like viscoelasticity with moduli approaching 100 kPa, possibly the ...

Oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsion allows the preparation of lipophilic nutrients such as carotenoids in liquid form, which may improve their bioavailability and broaden applications. In the present study, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate (Tween 20, TW-20), decaglycerol monolaurate (DML), octenyl succinate starch (OSS), whey protein isolate (WPI), and finally a blend of TW-20 and WPI (1 % by m...

BACKGROUND Dapsone is described as being active against Mycobacterium leprae, hence its role in the treatment of leprosy and related pathologies. Despite its therapeutic potential, the low solubility of dapsone in water results in low bioavailability and high microbial resistance. Nanoemulsions are pharmaceutical delivery systems derived from micellar solutions with a good capacity for improvin...

After an initial screening of ingredients and production methods, nanoemulsions for ocular administration of timolol containing the drug as maleate (TM) or as ion-pair with AOT (TM/AOT) were prepared. The physico-chemical characterization of nanoemulsions, regarding mean diameter, pH, zeta potential, osmolarity, viscosity and surface tension, underlined their feasibility to be instilled into th...

The oral bioavailability of many hydrophobic bioactive compounds found in natural food products (such as vitamins and nutraceuticals in fruits and vegetables) is relatively low due to their low bioaccessibility, chemical instability, or poor absorption. Most previous research has therefore focused on the design of delivery systems to incorporate isolated bioactive compounds into food products. ...
