Abstract:
... Nonionic oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsion provides potential to stabilize hydrophobic bio-functional components in aqueous medium. Understanding safety of nanoemulsion droplets via investigating in vitro cell uptake and cellular substructural changes is important to achieve their practical applications. Herein, we developed a nonionic O/W nanoemulsion to stabilize representative bio-functional hydr ...

In this study, tomato seed oil conventional emulsion (7 μm) and nanoemulsion (0.146 µm) with desirable stability were prepared, then the effect of tomato seed oil addition (bulk and emulsified forms) and thermal treatment on properties of tomato juice was evaluated. Tomato juice without oil and heat treatment exhibited the lowest bioaccessibility of lycopene (17.8 %). Incorporation of oil and appl ...

Abstract:
... Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a joint-related autoimmune disease that is difficult to cure. Most therapeutics act to alleviate the symptoms but not correct the causes of RA. Novel strategies that specifically target the causes are highly needed for RA management. Currently, early interruption of RA is increasingly suggested but the corresponding therapeutics are not available. Vaccines that have sh ...

Abstract:
... The therapeutic effects of antioxidant-loaded nanoemulsion can be often optimized by controlling the release rate in human body. Release kinetic models can be used to predict the release profile of antioxidant compounds and allow identification of key parameters that affect the release rate. It is known that one of the critical aspects in establishing a reliable release kinetic model is to underst ...

Abstract:
... Several studies have demonstrated the advantage of using of edible pectin films in preserving fruits and vegetables. Findings suggest that these films/coats act as a barrier on the surface of fruits and vegetables, which allows better moisture and water retention. It creates a good barrier by maximizing the gases accumulation and delaying ripening process. Initiatives were taken to refine food fil ...

Abstract:
... The presence of nanoparticles at oil-water interface influences the interaction forces between Pickering emulsions. When charged nanoparticles are at the oil-water interface of an electrostatically stabilized emulsion, in addition to the screened Coulombic interaction, electric dipolar force also influences the total inter-droplet force profiles. An in-depth understanding of the effects of such el ...

Abstract:
... The dynamic stability of phase change material (PCM) emulsions is a crucial factor for their practical applications. So far most previous studies on PCM emulsions have been focused on the static stability in the laboratory and cooling performance in small scale systems, but few or none on the dynamic stability and cooling performance in pilot- or larger-scale systems. This study was to evaluate th ...

Abstract:
... High amylose starch nanoparticles (HS-SNPs) were rapidly synthesised by high-speed circumferential force of homogenisation (3000 and 15,000 rpm) during nanoprecipitation. Morphology and dynamic light scattering analyses showed that HS-SNPs fabricated by stronger circumferential shearing were excellent stabilisers in smaller sizes (20–50 nm). Their aggregates were liable to separate in the aqueous ...

Abstract:
... Lignin has been analyzed as reinforcement in polymers due to its properties as a nontoxic, biorenewable, and inexpensive natural raw material. Nevertheless, the use of lignin in polymers has proved to be very restricted since technical lignin is highly hydrophilic and polymers are usually hydrophobic. Usually, the lignin surface is modified to enable its dispersion; however, this procedure is cost ...
