The skin being the largest organ in the body accounts for the most common cancer in humans. Skin cancer is typically of three types, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and melanoma. Despite accounting for only 4% of all cases, melanoma is the most deadly skin cancer, resulting in over 79% of skin cancer related deaths [1, 2]. In the year 2011 in the United States melanoma...

the nutrients are able to interact with molecular mechanisms and modulate the physiological functions in the body. the nutri­tional genomics focuses on the interaction between bioactive food components and the genome, which includes nutrigenet­ics and nutrigenomics. the influence of nutrients on f genes expression is called nutrigenomics, while the heterogene­ous response of gene variants to nu...

The potential utilization of encapsulation techniques in food, pharmaceutical and agricultural products preparation, presents a new alternative for complementary technologies such as targeting delivery vehicles and carriers for active food ingredients. Encapsulation could be accomplished by different techniques like: simple or complex coacervation, emulsification technique, phase separation, sp...
