Desai HH, T M Serajuddin A. Development of lipid-based SEDDS using digestion products of long-chain triglyceride for high drug solubility: Formulation and dispersion testing. Int J Pharm 2024; 654:123953. [PMID: 38417725 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.123953] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
A self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) containing long chain lipid digestion products (LDP) and surfactants was developed to increase solubility of two model weakly basic drugs, cinnarizine and ritonavir, in the formulation. A 1:1.2 w/w mixture of glyceryl monooleate (Capmul GMO-50; Abitec) and oleic acid was used as the digestion product, and a 1:1 w/w mixture of Tween 80 and Cremophor EL was the surfactant used. The ratio between LDP and surfactant was 1:1 w/w. Since the commercially available Capmul GMO-50 is not pure monoglyceride and contained di-and-triglycerides, the digestion product used would provide 1:2 stoichiometric molar ratio of monoglyceride and fatty acid after complete digestion in gastrointestinal fluid. Both cinnarizine and ritonavir had much higher solubility in oleic acid (536 and 72 mg/g, respectively) than that in glyceryl monooleate and glyceryl trioleate. Therefore, by incorporating oleic acid in place of glyceryl trioleate in the formulation, the solubility of cinnarizine and ritonavir could be increased by 5-fold and 3.5-fold, respectively, as compared to a formulation without the fatty acid. The formulation dispersed readily in aqueous media, and adding 3 mM sodium taurocholate, which is generally present in GI fluid, remarkably improved the dispersibility of SEDDS and reduced particle size of dispersions. Thus, the use of digestion products of long-chain triglycerides as components of SEDDS can enhance the drug loading of weakly basic compounds and increase dispersibility in GI fluids.

The influence of lipid digestion on the fate of orally administered drug delivery vehicles. Biochem Soc Trans 2021; 49:1749-1761.

Abstract
This review will focus on orally administered lipid-based drug delivery vehicles and specifically the influence of lipid digestion on the structure of the carrier lipids and their entrained drug cargoes. Digestion of the formulation lipids, which are typically apolar triglycerides, generates amphiphilic monoglycerides and fatty acids that can self-assemble into a diverse array of liquid crystalline structures. Tracking the dynamic changes in self-assembly of the lipid digestion products during digestion has recently been made possible using synchrotron-based small angle X-ray scattering. The influence of lipid chain length and degree of unsaturation on the resulting lipid structuring will be described in the context of the critical packing parameter theory. The chemical and structural transformation of the formulation lipids can also have a dramatic impact on the physical state of drugs co-administered with the formulation. It is often assumed that the best strategy for drug development is to maximise drug solubility in the undigested formulation lipids and to incorporate additives to maintain drug solubility during digestion. However, it is possible to improve drug absorption using lipid digestion in cases where the solubility of the dosed drug or one of its polymorphic forms is greater in the digested lipids. Three different fates for drugs administered with digestible lipid-based formulations will be discussed: (1) where the drug is more soluble in the undigested formulation lipids; (2) where the drug undergoes a polymorphic transformation during lipid digestion; and (3) where the drug is more soluble in the digested formulation lipids.

Abstract
Lipids play an important role in regulating bodily functions and providing a source of energy. Lipids enter the body primarily in the form of triglycerides in our diet. The gastrointestinal digestion of certain types of lipids has been shown to promote the self-assembly of lipid digestion products into highly ordered colloidal structures. The formation of these ordered colloidal structures, which often possess well-recognized liquid crystalline morphologies (or “mesophases”), is currently understood to impact the way nutrients are transported in the gut and absorbed. The formation of these liquid crystalline structures has also been of interest within the field of drug delivery, as it enables the encapsulation or solubilization of poorly water-soluble drugs in the aqueous environment of the gut enabling a means of absorption. This review summarizes the evidence for structure formation during the digestion of different lipid systems associated with foods, the techniques used to characterize them and provides areas of focus for advancing our understanding of this emerging field.

Abstract
Colloidal lipidic particles with different space groups and geometries (mesosomes) are employed in the development of new nanosystems for the oral delivery of drugs and nutrients. Understanding of the enzymatic digestion rate of these particles is key to the development of novel formulations. In this work, the molecular structure of the lipids has been systematically tuned to examine the effect on their self-assembly and digestion rate. The kinetic and phase changes during the lipase-catalysed hydrolysis of mesosomes formed by four synthetic cyclopropanated lipids and their cis-unsaturated analogues were monitored by dynamic small angle X-ray scattering and acid/base titration. It was established that both the phase behaviour and kinetics of the hydrolysis are greatly affected by small changes in the molecular structure of the lipid as well as by the internal nanostructure of the colloidal particles.

Abstract
Liquid crystalline phases (LCPs) are generated upon lipolysis of ingested lipids in the gastrointestinal tract. The breaking off and subsequent evolution of LCPs produce more advanced vesicular and micellar structures which facilitate oral absorption of lipids, as well as co-loaded drug entities. Owing to sustained or controlled drug release, bioadhesiveness, and capability of loading drugs of different properties, LCPs are promising vehicles to implement for enhancement of oral bioavailability. This review aims to provide an overview on the classification, preparation and characterization, in vivo generation and transformation, absorption mechanisms, and encouraging applications of LCPs in enhancement of oral bioavailability. In addition, we comment on the merits of LCPs as oral drug delivery carriers, as well as solutions to industrialization utilizing liquid crystalline precursor and preconcentrate formulations.

Abstract
The oral route is the most common route for drug administration. It is the most preferred route, due to its advantages, such as non-invasiveness, patient compliance and convenience of drug administration. Various factors govern oral drug absorption including drug solubility, mucosal permeability, and stability in the gastrointestinal tract environment. Attempts to overcome these factors have focused on understanding the physicochemical, biochemical, metabolic and biological barriers which limit the overall drug bioavailability. Different pharmaceutical technologies and drug delivery systems including nanocarriers, micelles, cyclodextrins and lipid-based carriers have been explored to enhance oral drug absorption. To this end, this review will discuss the physiological, and pharmaceutical barriers influencing drug bioavailability for the oral route of administration, as well as the conventional and novel drug delivery strategies. The challenges and development aspects of pediatric formulations will also be addressed.

Abstract
Approximately one third of newly discovered drug molecules show insufficient water solubility and therefore low oral bio-availability. Self-nano-emulsifying drug-delivery systems (SNEDDSs) are one of the emerging strategies developed to tackle the issues associated with their oral delivery. SNEDDSs are composed of an oil phase, surfactant, and cosurfactant or cosolvent. SNEDDSs characteristics, their ability to dissolve a drug, and in vivo considerations are determinant factors in the choice of SNEDDSs excipients. A SNEDDS formulation can be optimized through phase diagram approach or statistical design of experiments. The characterization of SNEDDSs includes multiple orthogonal methods required to fully control SNEDDS manufacture, stability, and biological fate. Encapsulating a drug in SNEDDSs can lead to increased solubilization, stability in the gastro-intestinal tract, and absorption, resulting in enhanced bio-availability. The transformation of liquid SNEDDSs into solid dosage forms has been shown to increase the stability and patient compliance. Supersaturated, mucus-permeating, and targeted SNEDDSs can be developed to increase efficacy and patient compliance. Self-emulsification approach has been successful in oral drug delivery. The present review gives an insight of SNEDDSs for the oral administration of both lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds from the experimental bench to marketed products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Supersaturable SMEDDS, a versatile dosage form, was investigated for improving the biopharmaceutical attributes and eradicating the food effect of poorly water soluble drug efavirenz. OBJECTIVE The present research pursues the development of efavirenz loaded Supersaturable Self- Microemulsifying Drug Delivery System (SS SMEDDS) for improving biopharmaceutical performance. METHODS Preformulation studies were carried out to determine the optimized range of lipid excipients to develop stable supersaturated SMEDDS (ST SMEDDS). The SS SMEDD formulation was prepared by adding hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as a polymeric precipitation inhibitor. The developed SS SMEDDS were evaluated for supersaturation behavior by performing in vitro supersaturation studies and molecular simulations by in silico docking. Dissolution was performed in biorelevant media to simulate fed/fasted conditions in gastrointestinal regions. Absorption behavior was determined through in vivo pharmacokinetics approach. RESULTS The optimized ST SMEDDS formulation containing Maisine® CC, Tween 80 and Transcutol-P exhibited thermodynamic stability with quick rate of emulsification. The optimized SS SMEDDS containing suitable polymeric precipitation inhibitor exhibited enhanced efavirenz concentration in in vitro supersaturation test. The theoretical simulations by molecular docking revealed strong intermolecular interactions with a docking score of -3.004 KJ/mol. The dissolution performance of marketed product in biorelevant dissolution media inferred the existence of food effect in the dissolution of efavirenz. However, in SS SMEDDS, no significant differences in drug release behavior under different fasted/fed conditions signify that the food effect was neutralized. In vivo pharmacokinetics revealed a significant increase in the absorption profile of efavirenz from SS SMEDDS than that of ST SMEDDS and marketed product. CONCLUSION The designed delivery system indicated promising results in developing an effectual EFV formulation for HIV treatment.

Abstract
Because of their unusual chemical structure, bile salts (BS) play a fundamental role in intestinal lipid digestion and transport. BS have a planar arrangement of hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties, which enables the BS molecules to form peculiar self-assembled structures in aqueous solutions. This molecular arrangement also has an influence on specific interactions of BS with lipid molecules and other compounds of ingested food and digestive media. Those comprise the complex scenario in which lipolysis occurs. In this review, we discuss the BS synthesis, composition, bulk interactions and mode of action during lipid digestion and transport. We look specifically into surfactant-related functions of BS that affect lipolysis, such as interactions with dietary fibre and emulsifiers, the interfacial activity in facilitating lipase and colipase anchoring to the lipid substrate interface, and finally the role of BS in the intestinal transport of lipids. Unravelling the roles of BS in the processing of lipids in the gastrointestinal tract requires a detailed analysis of their interactions with different compounds. We provide an update on the most recent findings concerning two areas of BS involvement: lipolysis and intestinal transport. We first explore the interactions of BS with various dietary fibres and food emulsifiers in bulk and at interfaces, as these appear to be key aspects for understanding interactions with digestive media. Next, we explore the interactions of BS with components of the intestinal digestion environment, and the role of BS in displacing material from the oil-water interface and facilitating adsorption of lipase. We look into the process of desorption, solubilisation of lipolysis, products and formation of mixed micelles. Finally, the BS-driven interactions of colloidal particles with the small intestinal mucus layer are considered, providing new findings for the overall assessment of the role of BS in lipid digestion and intestinal transport. This review offers a unique compilation of well-established and most recent studies dealing with the interactions of BS with food emulsifiers, nanoparticles and dietary fibre, as well as with the luminal compounds of the gut, such as lipase-colipase, triglycerides and intestinal mucus. The combined analysis of these complex interactions may provide crucial information on the pattern and extent of lipid digestion. Such knowledge is important for controlling the uptake of dietary lipids or lipophilic pharmaceuticals in the gastrointestinal tract through the engineering of novel food structures or colloidal drug-delivery systems.

Abstract
Purpose The objective of this study was to compare the in vitro Fick’s first law, in vitro lipolysis, and in vivo rat assays for oral absorption of Biopharmaceutical Classification Systems Class II (BCS II) drugs in self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS), and studied drugs and oils properties effects on the absorption. Methods The transport abilities of griseofulvin (GRI), phenytoin (PHE), indomethacin (IND), and ketoprofen (KET) in saturated water solutions and SNEDDS were investigated using the in vitro Madin-Darby canine kidney cell model. GRI and cinnarizine (CIN) in medium-chain triglycerides (MCT)-SNEDDS and long-chain triglycerides (LCT)-SNEDDS were administered in the in vivo SD rat and in vitro lipolysis models to compare the oral absorption and the distribution behaviors in GIT and build an in vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVC). Results In the cell model, the solubility of GRI, PHE, IND, and KET increased 6–8 fold by SNEDDS, but their permeability were only 18%, 4%, 8%, and 33% of those of their saturated water solutions, respectively. However, in vivo absorption of GRI-SNEDDS was twice that of the GRI suspension and those of CIN-SNEDDS were 15–21 fold those of the CIN suspension. In the lipolysis model, the GRI% in aqueous and pellet phases of MCT were similar to that in LCT. In contrast, the CIN% in the aqueous and pellet phases were decreased but that of the lipid phase increased. In addition, an IVIVC was found between the CIN% in the lipid phase and in vivo relative oral bioavailability (Fr). Conclusion The in vitro cell model was still a suitable tool to study drug properties effects on biofilm transport and SNEDDS absorption mechanisms. The in vitro lipolysis model provided superior oral absorption simulation of SNEDDS and helped to build correlation with in vivo rats. The oral drug absorption was affected by drug and oil properties in SNEDDS.

Abstract
Self-dispersing lipid-based formulations, particularly self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) have gained an increased interest in recent times as a means to enhance the oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble lipophilic drugs. Upon dilution, SMEDDS self-emulsify in an aqueous fluid and usually form a kinetically stable oil-in-water emulsion or in some rare cases a true thermodynamically stable microemulsion. The digestion of the formulation leads to the production of amphiphilic digestion products that interact with endogenous amphiphilic components and form self-assembled colloidal phases in the aqueous environment of the intestine. The formed colloidal phases play a pivotal role in maintaining the lipophilic drug in the solubilised state during gastrointestinal transit prior to absorption. Thus, this review describes the structural characterisation techniques employed for SMEDDS and the recent literature studies that elucidated the colloidal aspects during dispersion and digestion of SMEDDS and solid SMEDDS. Possible future studies are proposed to gain better understanding on the colloidal aspects of SMEDDS and solid SMEDDS.

Exploring the utility of the Chasing Principle: influence of drug-free SNEDDS composition on solubilization of carvedilol, cinnarizine and R3040 in aqueous suspension. Acta Pharm Sin B 2019; 9:194-201. [PMID: 30766791 PMCID: PMC6361727 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2018.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2018] [Revised: 03/06/2018] [Accepted: 04/12/2018] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
This study assessed the influence of the composition of drug-free SNEDDS co-dosed with aqueous suspensions of carvedilol (CAR), cinnarizine (CIN) or R3040 on drug solubilization in a two-compartment in vitro lipolysis model. Correlation of drug logP or solubility in SNEDDS with drug solubilization during in vitro lipolysis in the presence of drug-free SNEDDS was assessed. SNEDDS with varying ratios of soybean oil:Maisine 35-1 (1:1, w/w) and Kolliphor RH40, with ethanol at 10% (w/w) were used. SNEDDS were named F65, F55 and F20 (numbers refer to the percentage of lipids) and aqueous suspensions without drug-free SNEDDS (F0) were also analyzed. While the ranking order of drug solubilization was F65=F55=F20>F0 for CAR; F65=F55>F20>F0 for CIN and F65=F55=F20>F0 for R3040 - with higher CAR solubilization than for R3040 and CIN - the ranking of S eq of CAR, CIN and R3040 in SNEDDS was F65F20 and F65>F55>F20, respectively. Therefore, the composition of SNEDDS influenced the solubilization of CIN, but not CAR and R3040. Furthermore, high S eq in SNEDDS did not reflect high drug solubilization. As CAR (logP 3.8) showed higher solubilization than CIN (logP 5.8) and R3040 (logP 10.4), a correlation between drug logP and drug solubilization was observed.

Abstract
Soft, rotationally symmetric particles of dispersed hexagonal liquid crystalline phase are produced using a method previously developed for cubosome microparticle production. The technique forms hexosome particles via removal of ethanol from emulsion droplets containing monoolein, water, and one of the various hydrophobic molecules: vitamin E, hexadecane, oleic acid, cyclohexane, or divinylbenzene. The unique rotational symmetry of the particles is characterized by optical microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering to link particle phase, shape, and structure to composition. Rheology of the soft particles can be varied independently of shape, enabling control of transport, deformation, and biological response by controlling composition and molecular structure of the additives. The direct observations of formation, and the resultant hexosome shapes, link the particle-scale and mesoscale properties of these novel self-assembled particles and broaden their applications. The micron-scale hexosomes provide a route to understanding the effects of particle size, crystallization rate, and rheology on the production of soft particles with liquid crystalline structure and unique shape and symmetry.

Abstract
Lipid based-formulations can enhance the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble lipophilic drugs through enhanced solubilisation of drugs in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract during digestion. This study investigates the solubilisation behaviour of poorly water-soluble drugs upon digestion of solid self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (S-SMEDDS). The S-SMEDDS were prepared using two different core lipids, Gelucire® 44/14 (GEL) or glyceryl monooleate (GMO), and were loaded with two model drugs, fenofibrate (FEN) and cinnarizine (CINN). S-SMEDDS formulations were characterized using wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) and Raman spectroscopy, and their structural behaviour and drug solubilisation behaviour were monitored using drug-related diffraction peaks during digestion under fasted and fed simulated intestinal conditions using time-resolved small and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS). The concentrations of FEN and CINN released into the aqueous phase (AP) during digestion were quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Both model drugs, FEN and CINN, had greater solubility in the GMO-based S-SMEDDS formulations and were partially solubilised into lipid matrix and uniformly distributed in solid formulations. The extent of digestion was greater for the GEL-based systems (92-94%) than GMO-based systems (65-75%) as was the rate of digestion. GEL-based S-SMEDDS formulations formed a lamellar phase during digestion in the fasted state and formed mixed micelles in the fed state. In contrast, the GMO-based system formed the mixed micelles in both intestinal conditions. The time-resolved SAXS profiles revealed solubilisation of crystalline drugs into the lipolysis products. Synchrotron SAXS results were in correlation with the HPLC measurements, confirming the ability of the SAXS technique to monitor drug behaviour and showing that the digestion of S-SMEDDS can enhance drug solubilisation.

A new lipid excipient, phosphorylated tocopherol mixture, TPM enhances the solubilisation and oral bioavailability of poorly water soluble CoQ 10 in a lipid formulation.

Abstract
Phosphorylated tocopherols are a new class of lipid excipients that have demonstrated potential in pharmaceutical applications. Their ability to solubilise poorly water soluble drugs indicates their potential utility in improving bioavailability of drugs where solubility limits their bioavailability. In this study a commercial mixture of phosphorylated tocopherols, TPM was combined with medium chain triglyceride (MCT) as a formulation for CoQ10, and in vitro and in vivo performance compared to the effect of addition of alternative tocopherol-based excipients. In in vitro digestion experiments, CoQ10 was poorly solubilised in the digesting MCT as anticipated. Addition of TPM facilitated the enhanced solubilisation of CoQ10 as did vitamin E TPGS (TPGS). Other tocopherol derivatives (tocopherol acetate, tocopherol) were less effective at solubilising the active during the digestion process. The trends in in vitro solubilisation were conserved in the in vivo bioavailability of CoQ10 after oral administration to rats, with TPM and TPGS formulations providing approximately double the exposure of MCT alone, while the addition of the other tocopherol derivatives reduced the overall exposure. Collectively, the results indicate potential of TPM as a new solubilising excipient for use in oral drug delivery for poorly water soluble drugs.

Abstract
Lipid exchange among citrem nanoparticles and an ethanol micellar solution containing soy phosphatidylcholine was investigated in situ by coupling small angle X-ray scattering with a microfluidic device. The produced soy phosphatidylcholine/citrem nanoparticles have great potential in the development of hemocompatible nanocarriers for drug delivery.

Abstract
Biocompatible lipid hybrid particles composed of montmorillonite and medium chain triglycerides were engineered for the first time by spray drying oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by montmorillonite platelets to form montmorillonite-lipid hybrid (MLH) microparticles containing up to 75% w/w lipid. In vitro lipolysis studies under simulated intestinal conditions indicated that the specific porous nanoarchitecture and surface chemistry of MLH particles significantly increased the rate (>10-fold) and extent of lipase-mediated digestion compared to that of coarse and homogenized submicrometer triglyceride emulsions. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance studies verified the rapid and enhanced production of fatty acids for MLH particles; these are electrostatically repelled by the negatively charged montmorillonite platelet faces and avoid the "interfacial poisoning" caused by incomplete digestion that retards lipid droplet digestion. MLH particles are a novel biomaterial and encapsulation system that optimize lipase enzyme efficiency and have excellent potential as a smart delivery system for lipophilic biomolecules owing to their exceptional physicochemical and biologically active properties. These particles can be readily fabricated with varying lipid loads and thus may be tailored to optimize the solubilization of specific bioactive molecules requiring reformulation.

Abstract
This review describes the development of novel lipid-based biomaterials that modulate fat digestion for the enhanced uptake of encapsulated lipophilic bioactive compounds (e.g. drugs and vitamins). Specific focus is directed towards analysing how key material characteristics affect the biological function of digestive lipases and manipulate lipolytic digestion. The mechanism of lipase action is a complex, interfacial process, whereby hydrolysis can be controlled by the ability for lipase to access and adsorb to the lipid-in-water interface. However, significant conjecture exists within the literature regarding parameters that influence the activities of digestive lipases. Important findings from recent investigations that strategically examined the interplay between the interfacial composition of the lipid microenvironment and lipolysis kinetics in simulated biophysical environments are presented. The correlation between lipolysis and the rate of solubilisation and absorption of lipophilic compounds in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is detailed. Greater insights into the mechanism of lipase action have provided a new approach for designing colloidal carriers that orally deliver poorly soluble compounds, directly impacting the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Abstract
The tendency for poorly water-soluble weakly basic drugs to precipitate in a noncrystalline form during the in vitro digestion of lipid-based formulations (LBFs) was linked to an ionic interaction between drug and fatty acid molecules produced upon lipid digestion. Cinnarizine was chosen as a model weakly basic drug and was dissolved in a medium-chain (MC) LBF, which was subject to in vitro lipolysis experiments at various pH levels above and below the reported pKa value of cinnarizine (7.47). The solid-state form of the precipitated drug was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and crossed polarized light microscopy (CPLM). In addition, the phase distribution of cinnarizine upon lipolysis was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Cinnarizine precipitated in a noncrystalline form during lipolysis experiments at pH 6.5, pH 5.5, and pH 4.0 but precipitated in a crystalline form at pH 8.0 according to XRD measurements on the pellets. Differences were also observed in the FTIR spectra of the pellet phases at pH 8.0 and pH 6.5, with the absorption bands in the C-N stretch region of the IR spectra supporting a shift from the starting free base crystalline material to the hydrochloride salt, thus supporting the case that ionic interactions between weak bases and fatty acid molecules during digestion are responsible for producing amorphous-salts upon precipitation. The conclusion has wide implications for understanding past in vitro and in vivo data for lipid-based formulations of basic drugs, as well as future formulation design and optimization.

Abstract
Although the biochemical processes of lipid digestion are well-known, the biophysical ones, responsible for the assembly of molecules into functional structures, lack studies resolving both time and space scales. About 35 years ago, the seminal microscopy study of Patton and Carey constituted a major advance to reach this goal. Nowadays, new perspectives arise from the availability of large facilities scattering techniques, able to monitor the dynamics of multi-scale assemblies with unprecedented resolutions. The present small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) study focused on the roles of the emulsifier and triglyceride in the formation of lipid assemblies during emulsion digestion in vitro. By developing several interpretations of the data in the whole space range (qualitative, shape-dependent and shape-independent models), the characteristic size of the assemblies and their transition times were obtained, which depended on the triglyceride, but not on the emulsifier. The major assembly formed was found to be a spherical mixed micelle, but vesicle was also found to coexist throughout the digestion, although in a lower proportion. The quantitative determination of the sizes and proportions of these assemblies, as well as the evolution of these characteristics during digestion are precious information for nutritional sciences, as these assemblies are the vehicles of lipophilic nutrients and micronutrients towards their absorption site.
