Abstract
Safety of food is a noteworthy issue for consumers and the food industry. A number of complex challenges associated with food engineering and food industries, including quality food production and safety of the food through effective and feasible means can be explained by nanotechnology. However, nanoparticles have unique physicochemical properties compared to normal macroparticles of the same composition and thus could interact with living system in surprising ways to induce toxicity. Further, few toxicological/safety assessments have been performed on nanoparticles, thereby necessitating further research on oral exposure risk prior to their application to food. Liposome nanoparticles are viewed as attractive novel materials by the food and medical industries. For example, nanoencapsulation of bioactive food compounds is an emerging application of nanotechnology. In several food industrial practices, liposome nanoparticles have been utilized to improve flavoring and nutritional properties of food, and they have been examined for their capacity to encapsulate natural metabolites that may help to protect the food from spoilage and degradation. This review focuses on ongoing advancements in the application of liposomes for food and pharma sector.

Abstract
Technology for the detection of biological species has generated considerable interest in a variety of fields including healthcare, defense, food and environmental monitoring. In a biosensor, labeled specific binding partners are used to emit a detectable signal. Owing to their unique properties, nanomaterials have been proposed as a novel label category and have led to the development of new assays and new transduction mechanisms. In this article, the role of three major types of nanoscale labels (metallic, semiconductor and liposome nanoparticles) in the development of a new generation of optical, electrochemical or gravimetric biosensors will be presented. The underlying transduction principles will be briefly explained and assay strategies relying on the use of these ‘nanolabels’ will be described. The contribution to increased assay performance and sensitivity will be highlighted. Approaches towards simple, cost efficient and sensitive assays are essential to meet the demands of a growing number of applications.

Abstract
This article describes a new method for direct fluorometric immunoassay with a liposome array using pH-sensitive dye (BCECF [2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-4 or 5-carboxyfluorescein])-encapsulating liposomes immobilized on an avidin slip and gramicidin channels. The liposomes were composed of phosphatidylcholine (PC), cholesterol (Chol), biotinylated phosphatidylethanolamine (B-cap-PE), and recognition sites (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl) [DNP-PE], Fab' fragment of anti-substance P, and Fab' of anti-neurokinin A). The addition of gramicidin induced release of H(+) ions from the inner solution (pH 5.5) to the outer one (pH 7.8), enhancing fluorescence of BCECF (1.0mM) encapsulated in liposome. The binding of an analyte (anti-dinitrophenyl [anti-DNP], avidin, substance P, or neurokinin A) to the membrane-bound recognition sites caused further enhancement of fluorescence of BCECF due to a local distortion of the bilayer structure that affects the channel kinetics of gramicidin. The intensity of fluorescence from the immobilized liposomes 60 min after the addition of gramicidin (10 ng/ml) increased with an increase in the concentration of anti-DNP ranging from 1.2 x 10(-8) to 1.2 x 10(-6)g/ml, avidin ranging from 1.0 x 10(-8) to 1.0 x 10(-6)g/ml, substance P ranging from 1.0 x 10(-8) to 1.0 x 10(-6)g/ml, and neurokinin A ranging from 1.0 x 10(-8) to 1.0 x 10(-6)g/ml. The direct fluorometric immunoassay with a liposome array is simple and easy to carry out. The intensity of fluorescence emitted from the immobilized liposomes is directly measured after incubation with a sample solution and a gramicidin solution in sequence without washing steps. The assay allows simultaneous quantification of multiple components without labeling of antibody or antigen with a fluorescent tag. The liposome-based assay is discussed in terms of principle, sensitivity, and selectivity.

Abstract
Intact liposomes were immobilized onto soft contact lenses. In the first step, polyethylenimine was covalently bounded onto the hydroxyl groups available on the surface of a commercial contact lens (Hioxifilcon B). Then, NHS-PEG-biotin molecules were bounded onto the surface amine groups by carbodiimide chemistry. NeutrAvidin were bounded onto the PEG-biotin layer. Liposomes containing PEG-biotinylated lipids were docked onto the surface-immobilized NeutrAvidin. Consecutive addition of further NeutrAvidin and liposome layers enabled fabrication of multilayers. Multilayers of liposomes were also produced by exposing contact lenses coated with NeutrAvidin to liposome aggregates produced by the addition of free biotin in solution. XPS revealed the immobilization of the different layers. By blocking with excess biotin surface-immobilized NeutrAvidin on contact lenses bearing PEG-biotin layers produced under cloud point conditions, ELISA showed that the docking of NeutrAvidin was dependent on biotin-NeutrAvidin affinity binding, with little evidence for nonspecific physisorption; however, it was not possible to differentiate specific versus nonspecific binding of NeutrAvidin attached onto PEG-biotin layers grafted without cloud point conditions. AFM imaging revealed liposome sizes of 106 and 155 nm for layers of liposomes produced (i) by the consecutive addition of further NeutrAvidin and liposomes and (ii) by the exposure of NeutrAvidin-coated contact lenses to liposome aggregates, respectively. The release kinetics of a fluorescent dye demonstrated that intact liposomes had been immobilized onto contact lens surfaces. The stability of surface-immobilized liposomes onto contact lens surfaces showed temperature dependence. Surface-bound liposomes can be stored up to 1 month at 4 degrees C with little release of their content.

Abstract
A novel protocol for the synthesis of dye-encapsulating liposomes tagged with DNA oligonucleotides at their outer surface was developed. These liposomes were optimized for use as signal enhancement agents in lateral-flow sandwich-hybridization assays for the detection of single-stranded RNA and DNA sequences. Liposomes were synthesized using the reverse-phase evaporation method and tagged with oligonucleotides by adding cholesteryl-modified DNA probes to the initial lipid mixture. This resulted in a greatly simplified protocol that provided excellent control of the probe coverage on the liposomes and cut the preparation time from 16 hours to just 6 hours. Liposomes were prepared using probe concentrations ranging from 0.00077 to 0.152 mol% of the total lipid, several hydrophobic and polyethylene glycol-based spacers between the cholesteryl anchor and the probe, and liposome diameters ranging from 208 nm to 365 nm. The liposomes were characterized by dynamic light scattering, visible spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Their signal enhancement functionality was compared by using them in lateral-flow optical biosensors for the detection of single-stranded DNA sequences. In these assays, an optimal reporter probe concentration of 0.013 mol%, liposome diameter of 315 nm, and liposome optical density of 0.4-0.6 at 532 nm were found. The spacer length between the cholesteryl anchor and the probe showed no significant effect on the signals in the lateral-flow assays. The results presented here provide important data for the general use of liposomes as labels in analytical assays, with specific emphasis on nucleic acid detection via lateral flow assays.

Abstract
Surface-immobilized liposome layers are of interest for various potential applications such as localized drug delivery, but their characterization is challenging. We have employed an AFM method and fluorescent dye release to analyze anchored liposomes. In addition, we studied whether the liposomes are surface-bound solely via specific interaction (NeutrAvidin/biotin) or whether physisorptive binding also plays a role. Liposomes containing PEG-biotin lipids were affinity bound to NeutrAvidin molecules which had been immobilized onto solid supports via three different hydrogel interlayers. After liposome docking, approaching the surface with a colloid probe mounted onto an AFM cantilever showed considerable compression behavior, consistent with expectation based on intact, deformable liposomes but not lipid bilayers, thus showing that disruption of liposomes did not occur upon immobilization onto these support surfaces. Plastic deformation suggestive of liposome disruption on compression was not observed. The kinetics of fluorescent dye release also demonstrated that intact liposomes had been successfully immobilized onto all three supports. Blocking surface-immobilized NeutrAvidin molecules with excess biotin in solution before exposure to liposomes showed that the docking of liposomes was dependent largely but not exclusively on biotin-NeutrAvidin affinity binding, with evidence for some nonspecific physisorption, as the extent of liposome binding onto blocked NeutrAvidin surfaces was appreciably lower than for unblocked surfaces but not zero. Finally, consecutive addition of further NeutrAvidin and liposome layers enabled fabrication of multilayers, and this was clearly seen in AFM compressibility and fluorescent dye release measurements.

Abstract
Liposomes were immobilized onto the surface of perfluorinated polymer tape samples and tissue culture polystyrene well-plates using a multilayer immobilization strategy. In the first step, a thin interfacial bonding layer with surface aldehyde groups was deposited from a glow discharge struck in acetaldehyde vapour. Polyethylenimine was then covalently bound onto the aldehyde groups by reductive amination, followed by covalent binding of NHS-PEG-biotin molecules onto the surface amine groups by carbodiimide chemistry. Next, NeutrAvidin protein molecules were bound onto the PEG-biotin layer. Finally, liposomes containing PEG-biotinylated lipids were docked onto the remaining binding sites of the surface-immobilized NeutrAvidin molecules. AFM was used to image surface-bound liposomes and revealed a density well below close packing. The release characteristics of the surface-bound liposomes were measured by the fluorescence intensity changes of carboxyfluorescein upon release. Liposomes filled with sodium orthovanadate were surface immobilized and used in two in vitro angiogenesis assays. Marked differences compared to various control samples were observed, demonstrating the utility of drug-filled, surface-bound liposomes for evoking localized, controlled biological host responses proximal to an implanted biomedical device.

Abstract
Various aspects of the application of liposomes as a label in immunoassays are reviewed. Methods for the preparation of liposomes, from the basic film method to the more advanced dehydration-rehydration method, are discussed. Furthermore, the markers used in liposome labels, as well as the methods to conjugate liposomes to antigens or antibodies, are summarized. Liposome immunoassays are applied as homogeneous or heterogeneous assays. Homogeneous assays often rely on the lytic activity of complement on antibody-associated liposomes. Another group of homogeneous assays utilizes the inhibitory action of antibodies on the activity of conjugates of mellitin (a bee venom protein) with a hapten. Free mellitin conjugates are able to lyse liposomes effectively. Heterogeneous liposome immunoassays, performed either competitively or non-competitively, resemble more closely standard enzyme linked immunosorbent assays, with the enzyme being replaced by a liposome label. Washing steps are used to separate antigen-specifically bound liposomes from unbound liposomes. All bound liposomes are lysed with a detergent, giving an instantaneous amplification. Flow-injection liposome immunoassays and liposome immunosensors are also described as examples of other possible immunoassay formats.
