utilization of non-food-grade organic solvents and high shear forces in conventional liposome formation techniques has limited their applications as carriers of nutrecuticals in food industry. the objective of this research is the production of gamma-oryzanol bearing nanoliposome by using modified thermal method. nanoliposomes were produced by a suitable concentration of lecithin and gamma-oryz...

In object-oriented programming, reentrant method invocations and shared references make it difficult to achieve adequate encapsulation for sound modular reasoning. This tutorial paper surveys recent progress using auxiliary state (ghost fields) to describe and achieve encapsulation. Encapsulation is assessed in terms of modular reasoning about invariants and simulations.

Lactoferrin was purported in consumer literature to enhance and support the immune system response through their antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticarcinogenic properties. To improve the effectiveness of lactoferrin, liposomes were used as a carrier in this study. The main purpose of this study was to compare three different methods to prepare the lactoferrin nanoliposomes based on the encaps...

This paper describes the construction of three dimensional (3D) encapsulation devices in large numbers, using a novel self-assembling strategy characterized by high mechanical stability, controlled porosity, extreme miniaturization, high reproducibility and the possibility of integrating sensing and actuating electromechanical modules. We demonstrated encapsulation of microbeads and cells withi...

Tolerable encapsulation time in a Chemical Warfare Agent Protective Patient Wrap (dry insulative value = 1.44 clo; permeability index = 0.25) was determined in four hot environments including a simulated solar heat load (1152 W.m-2) for eight males. Mean body temperature (Tb), evaporative heat loss (EHL), dry heat gain (R + C), metabolic rate (M), and net heat flow (Msk) were measured or calcul...

In this work, two different technologies (electrospraying and nanospray drying) were evaluated for the encapsulation of folic acid using both a whey protein concentrate (WPC) matrix and a commercial resistant starch. The morphology of the capsules, molecular organization of the matrices upon encapsulation, encapsulation efficiency, and stability of the folic acid within the capsules under diffe...

Encapsulation of actives comprises an area of exploration undergoing rapid growth in both academic and industrial research settings. Encapsulation processes are employed as a part of product synthesis processes for improved efficiency, enhanced stability, active ingredient compatibility, increased safety, targeted delivery, and novel performance of the end product. Such technical benefits enabl...

‘Hermetic sealing’ is defined by the Shorter OED as “air-tight closure of a vessel by fusion, soldering or welding”. The term ‘hermetic package’ used in the electronics industry is however at best slightly misleading, in that the term is used to describe components where the die and associated bonds are sealed within a cavity in a hollow package (as distinct from being embedded in a resin), and...
