Encapsulation in the food industry is a process in which one or more ingredients or additives (core) are coated with an edible capsule. The use of liposomes is among the many forms of encapsulation of food ingredients. It consists of a sort of microscopic lipid vesicles, where due to the lipophilic and hydrophilic portion of its constituents, substances of various natures can be encapsulated, a...

In order to obtain antineoplastic compounds and innovative formulations, new technologies testing methods are continuously being developed. Unfortunately, besides cancer cells, chemotherapy also affects normal cells. An option avoid toxicity is represented by the targeted treatment using novel pharmaceutical dosage forms.
 Liposomes represent a relatively form, used for their many advantag...

Encapsulation of soluble protein antigens in liposomes was previously shown to result in processing of antigen via the major histocompatibility complex class I pathway, as evidenced by costaining of the trans-Golgi region of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMs) by fluorophore-labeled liposomal antigen and by a trans-Golgi-specific fluorescent lipid. Evidence is presented here that free ...

Curcumin (CUR) is a phenolic compound present in some herbs, including Curcuma longa Linn. (turmeric rhizome), with high bioactive capacity and characteristic yellow color. It mainly used as spice, although it has been found that CUR interesting pharmaceutical properties, acting natural antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antitumoral agent. Nonetheless, hydrophobic low water solubili...

We show that human plasma can induce the encapsulation of small spherical liposomes into larger flaccid liposomes. To explain the observed phenomena, it is proposed that the orientational ordering of charged plasma proteins induces attractive interaction between two like-charged liposome surfaces in close contact. It is observed that the encapsulation of the spherical liposome is possible only ...

The potency of plant bioactives may decline drastically upon exposure to harsh external environments including gastrointestinal conditions. protective role played by liposomes contributes desirable properties increased stability, slow/controlled release, improved bioactivity, and enhanced bioavailability the encapsulated bioactives. Also, incorporation in food matrices has resulted augmented se...

Liposomes are one of the most studied and promising nanocarriers to date, representing a biocompatible, safe, efficient delivery system for both hydrophilic lipophilic compounds. This work aimed evaluate efficacy in encapsulating an aqueous extract Lisosan G (LG), Triticum aestivum whole grains fermented powder with strong antioxidant activity, into Eudragit-liposomes designed oral delivery. Th...

background: the application of natural compounds including green tea extract (gte) in food and pharmaceutical industries is limited. encapsulation in nanoliposomes could be used as a delivery system to protect these compounds during processing and storage. objective: in this study encapsulation of green tea extract in nanoliposomes and evaluation of its antibacterial, antioxidant and prebiotic ...

Abstract The Indian system of medicine, Ayurveda employs Bacopa monnieri extract (BME) for memory enhancement. This study attempts to prepare and test a more potent formulation by incorporating BME in nanovesicles. BME-loaded liposomes bilosomes (bile salt-stabilized liposomes) were formulated using soy phosphatidylcholine. Liposomes had homogeneous size distribution an average 285.7 nm 84 nm, ...

Background: The application of natural compounds including green tea extract (GTE) in food and pharmaceutical industries is limited. Encapsulation in nanoliposomes could be used as a delivery system to protect these compounds during processing and storage. Objective: In this study encapsulation of green tea extract in nanoliposomes and evaluation of its antibacterial, antioxidant and prebiot...
