Outline Introduction Purpose Methods Results Stability Analysis Cell Culture Analysis Summary
Nanoencapsulation Protection of antioxidants from harsh environments Increased surface area enhance solubility Delay or inhibit the formation of undesirable odors/flavors Fathi, M.; Mozafari, M. R.; Mohebbi, M. Trends in food science & technology 2012.
Liposomes Colloidal structures formed via high energy input Closed, continuous vesicle structures phospholipid bilayer in an aqueous environment Entrapment, delivery, and release of water/lipid soluble Mozafari, M. R.; Johnson, C.; Hatziantoniou, S.; Demetzos, C. J Liposome Res 2008, 18, 309–327.
