Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Dispersibility and Bioactivity of Curcumin by Encapsulation in Casein Nanocapsules
TL;DR: The curcumin encapsulated in casein nanoparticles had higher biological activity, as assessed by antioxidant and cell proliferation assays, than pristineCurcumin, likely due to the improved dispersibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
pH-driven encapsulation of curcumin in self-assembled casein nanoparticles for enhanced dispersibility and bioactivity.
TL;DR: The curcumin encapsulated in casein nanoparticles showed significantly improved anti-proliferation activity against human colorectal and pancreatic cancer cells and is promising to utilize lipophilic compounds in food or pharmaceutical industries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zein nanoparticles produced by liquid-liquid dispersion.
Qixin Zhong,Minfeng Jin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a liquid-liquid dispersion process was used for the production of zein nanoparticles, and the results showed that it is a simple and scalable process to manufacture nanoscalar delivery systems of many bioactive compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term stabilization of foams and emulsions with in-situ formed microparticles from hydrophobic cellulose.
TL;DR: A new class of nontoxic inexpensive cellulose-based particle stabilizers has the potential to substitute conventional synthetic surfactants, especially in edible, pharmaceutical and biodegradable products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thymol Nanoencapsulated by Sodium Caseinate: Physical and Antilisterial Properties
TL;DR: Thymol encapsulated in sodium caseinate using high shear homogenization showed the significantly improved antilisterial activity in milk with different fat levels when compared to thymol crystals, resulting from the quicker mixing and increased solubility in the milk serum.
