The objective of this work was to characterize the cinnamon oil nanocapsule that contained alginate-chitosan as coating agents. In this work, cinamonn oil loaded chitosan nanoparticles (CS-alginate NP-cinamonn) are prepared by a two-step process including oil/water emulsion and ionic gelation. In this study, cinamon as a core material was nanoencapsulated with chitosan alginate at a ratio of 1:...

Natural food pigments are commonly utilized for the improvement of the qualitative properties of foods and/or inhibit the development of chronic and degenerative diseases. Several studies have documented the beneficial health effects of natural food pigments, such as anthocyanins, chlorophylls, and carotenoids. These effects mainly depend on the stability, bioactivity, and bioavailability of th...

3',6-dimethoxy-3'',4''-(methylenedioxy)-2,5-epoxylignan-4'-ol (DMEO), an epoxylignan isolated from , has currently captured attention for its Piper nigrum potential antitumor effect. However, low stability is limiting its therapeutic application. The application of nanocapsulation would be the main strategy for overcoming this problem. DMEO-loaded nanocapsules were prepared by an emulsion-diffu...
