Peony seeds, an important oil resource, have been attracting much attention because of α-linolenic acid. Oil bodies (OBs), naturally pre-emulsified oils, great potential applications in the food industry. This study investigated effects extraction pH and Quillaja saponin (QS) on physicochemical properties peony body (POB) emulsions. POBs were extracted from raw milk at 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 (named...

Abstract Functional foods, drug delivery systems, and cosmetics are the main areas of application for multiphase where use naturally derived compounds is preferred. Hence, this study aimed to assess possibility using natural surfactants saponin-rich extracts produce emulsions containing antibacterial antioxidant cinnamon clove essential oils (EOs). The analyses nanoparticles dynamic light scatt...

Vaccines based on molecular subunit antigens are increasingly being investigated due to their improved safety and more precise targeting compared to classical whole-pathogen vaccines. However, subunit vaccines are inherently less immunogenic; thus, coadministration of an adjuvant to increase the immunogenicity of the antigen is often necessary to elicit a potent immune response. QS-21, an immun...
