Nowadays, nanotechnology is used as a way to increase bioavailability and decrease the side effects of drugs nutrients. Micronutrients nutraceuticals such vitamins, carotenoids, polyunsaturated fatty acids polyphenols are classes food ingredients that essential for human health well-being. These compounds rarely added purely targeted application but rather in encapsulated, solid, dry product fo...

We investigate the stability of growing vesicles using the formalism of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The vesicles are growing due to the accretion of lipids to the bilayer which forms the vesicle membrane. The thermodynamic description is based on the hydrodynamics of a water and lipid mixture together with a model of the vesicle as a discontinuous system in the sense of linear nonequilibrium...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the physicochemical and sensory quality of beef patties containing different levels pennyroyal powder (PP) during storage at 4 °C for up 9 days. PP added 0.75, 1.5, 2.25, 3.0% compared negative (without PP) positive controls (0.01% propyl gallate). addition decreased protein content increased ash (P <0.05). inclusion improved cooking loss, but ...

Vesicles incorporating a fluorescent metal-chelating lipid can be linked together by addition of copper(II) and poly-L-histidine, but the stability of adhering vesicles towards fusion depends upon membrane composition.

We report herein new synthetic glycolipid dimers and polymers that provide unprecedented stability to both supported (SLBs) and vesicular lipid bilayers against dehydration and serum exposure. These novel physical properties will enable pharmaceutical delivery and development of SLB bioanalytical devices.
