Recovery and encapsulation of Dunaliella salina β-carotene through a novel sustainable approach: Sequential application of an ionic liquid as naturally-derived solvent and emulsifier. Food Chem 2024; 458:140232. [PMID: 38991241 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140232] [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: 04/11/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
Dunaliella salina is a promising source of β-carotene, widely employed in the food industry. This study aimed to evaluate the sequential application of the Ionic Liquid (IL) cholinium oleate as an extraction solvent for D. salina β-carotene recovery and, sequentially, as emulsifier for emulsion-based products obtained therefrom. The IL was evaluated regarding its ability to permeabilize the cells and recover β-carotene at different temperatures (25-65 °C) and IL concentrations (0-46%). The use of the IL as solvent greatly improved β-carotene recovery (>84%). The IL already present in the obtained extracts loaded with recovered β-carotene was sequentially used as emulsifier in the production of nanoemulsions (NE). NE presented a β-carotene entrapment efficiency of 100% and were kinetically stable for 30 days and presented droplet size, size distribution, and ζ-potential of 220 nm, 0.21, and -67 mV, respectively. These results indicate that using IL sequential as solvent and emulsifier has potential applications in the food industry.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2024; 233:113608. [PMID: 37925866 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2023.113608] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2023] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
Antioxidant nutraceuticals can be found in several dietary sources and have been utilized for various medical benefits including health promotion, disease prevention, and support for treatment of acute and/or chronic diseases. Nonetheless, there are some limitations in delivering antioxidants via oral administration such as low solubility and permeability, pH and enzyme degradation, and instability of the compounds along the gastrointestinal tract leading to low bioavailability. In order to tackle these challenges, the utilization of lipid nanoparticles has numerous advantages to the escalating delivery system of antioxidants in nutraceuticals across the gastrointestinal tract barrier. Nowadays, several types of lipid nanoparticles can be used in antioxidant nutraceutical delivery systems through the oral route, namely solid lipid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers. This review article aims to provide notable information on the importance and applications of lipid nanoparticles in antioxidant delivery systems from nutraceuticals by an oral route. The mechanism in enhancing antioxidant compound transport across the gastrointestinal tract can occur by elevating loading capacity, improving chemical and physical stability, and increasing its bioavailability. To date, lipid nanoparticle vehicles have been developed to improve the delivery of antioxidant compounds to enhance bioavailability via oral routes. Lipid nanoparticles have remarkable benefits in delivering antioxidant nutraceuticals via oral administration. Hence, scale-up and commercialization of antioxidant nutraceutical-loaded lipid nanoparticles have been a potential technology in recent years. Subsequently, several vegetable and natural oils with antioxidant activity can also be utilized for nanoparticle formulation lipid components to increase nutraceuticals' antioxidant properties and bioavailability.

Abstract
Mucopermeating nanoformulations can enhance mucosal penetration of poorly soluble drugs at their target site. In this work, thiolated chitosan (TCS)-lithocholic acid (LA) nanomicelles loaded with β-carotene, a safe phytochemical with anticancer properties, were designed to improve the pharmaceutical and pharmacological drug profile. The TCS-LA nanomicelles were characterized by FTIR to confirm the presence of the thiol group that favors skin adhesion, and to corroborate the conjugation of hydrophobic LA with hydrophilic CS to form an amphiphilic polymer derivative. Their crystalline nature and thermal behavior were investigated by XRD and DSC analyses, respectively. According to DLS and TEM, their average size was <300 nm, and their surface charge was +27.0 mV. β-carotene entrapment and loading efficiencies were 64 % and 58 %, respectively. In vitro mucoadhesion and ex vivo mucopenetration analyses further corroborated the potential of the nanoformulation to deliver the drug in a sustained manner under conditions mimicking cancer micro-environment. Anticancer studies in mice demonstrated that the loaded nanomicelles delayed skin cancer growth, as revealed by both morphological and biochemical parameters. Based on the results obtained herein, it can be concluded that drug-loaded TCS-LA is a novel, stable, effective and safe mucoadhesive formulation of β-carotene for the potential treatment of skin cancer.

Abstract
In the last decades, the incorporation of bioactive compounds in food supplements aroused the attention of scientists. However, these ingredients often exhibit both low solubility and stability and their poor bioaccessibility within the gastrointestinal tract limits their effectiveness. To overcome these drawbacks, many carriers have been investigated for encapsulating nutraceuticals and enhancing their bioavailability. It is note that several different vegetable wall materials have been applied to build delivery systems. Considering their encapsulation mechanism, lipid and protein-based carriers display specific interaction patterns with bioactives, whereas polysaccharidic-based carriers can entrap them by creating porous highly stable networks. To maximize the encapsulation efficiency, mixed systems are very promising. Following the current goal of using natural and sustainable ingredients, only a limited number of studies about the isolation of new ingredients from agro-food waste are available. In this review, a comprehensive overview of the state of art in the development of innovative natural lipid-, protein- and polysaccharide-based plant carriers is presented, focusing on their application as food active compounds. Different aspects to be considered in the design of delivery systems are discussed, including the carrier structure and chemical features, the interaction between the encapsulating and the core material, and the parameters affecting bioactives entrapment.

Abstract
Oxidative stress damage caused by sun exposure damages the appearance and function of the skin, which is one of the essential inducements of skin aging and even leads to skin cancer. Oroxylin A (OA) is a flavonoid with excellent antioxidant activity and has protective effects against photoaging induced by UV irradiation. However, the strong barrier function of the skin stratum corneum prevents transdermal absorption of the drug, which limits the application of OA in dermal drug delivery. Studies have shown that nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) can promote not only transdermal absorption of drugs but also increase drug stability and control drug release efficiency, which has broad prospects for clinical applications. In this paper, NLC loaded with OA (OA-NLC) was prepared in order to improve the skin permeability and stability of OA. In vitro studies revealed that OA-NLC had better therapeutic effects than OA solution (OA-Sol) in the cellular model of UVB radiation. OA-Sol and OA-NLC were immobilized in a hydrogel matrix to facilitate application to the dorsal skin of mice. It was found that OA-NLC-gel showed significant antioxidant and anti-apoptotic activity compared to OA-Sol-gel, which was able to protect against skin damage in mice after UV radiation. These results suggest that OA-NLC can improve the deficiencies of OA in skin delivery and show better resistance to UV-induced oxidative damage. The application of OA-NLC to skin delivery systems has good prospects and deserves further development and investigation.

Abstract
Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the impact of their dietary choices on the environment, animal welfare, and health, which is causing many of them to adopt more plant-based diets. For this reason, many sectors of the food industry are reformulating their products to contain more plant-based ingredients. This article describes recent research on the formation and application of nano-enabled colloidal delivery systems formulated from plant-based ingredients, such as polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, and phospholipids. These delivery systems include nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanoliposomes, nanophytosomes, and biopolymer nanoparticles. The composition, size, structure, and charge of the particles in these delivery systems can be manipulated to create novel or improved functionalities, such as improved robustness, higher optical clarity, controlled release, and increased bioavailability. There have been major advances in the design, assembly, and application of plant-based edible nanoparticles within the food industry over the past decade or so. As a result, there are now a wide range of different options available for creating delivery systems for specific applications. In the future, it will be important to establish whether these formulations can be produced using economically viable methods and provide the desired functionality in real-life applications.

Abstract
Crop protection still mostly relies on synthetic pesticides for crop pest control. However, the rationale for their continued use is shaded by the revealed adverse effects, such as relatively long environmental persistence that leads to water and soil contamination and retention of residues in food that brings high risks to human and animal health. As part of integrated pest management, biopesticides may provide crop protection, being eco-friendly and safe for humans and non-target organisms. Essential oils, complex mixtures of low-molecular-weight, highly volatile compounds, have been highlighted as major candidates for plant-derived bioinsecticides that are up to the sustainable biological standard. In this review, we screened the insecticidal activity of essential oils or their purified compounds, with focus given to their modes of action, along with the analyzed advantages and problems associated with their wider usage as plant-derived insecticides in agriculture.

Abstract
Sodium aescinate-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles were fabricated using a melt-emulsification and ultrasonication method. Based on mean particle size, polydispersity index, and encapsulation efficiency, orthogonal and Box-Behnken designs were applied to optimize solid lipid nanoparticles with single emulsification and double emulsification methods. The characterization of solid lipid nanoparticles was investigated by X-ray diffractometry, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy. After optimization of sodium aescinate-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles with single emulsification, the particle size was 90.7 nm and encapsulation efficiency was 76.5%. The sodium aescinate-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles with double emulsification were negatively charged spherical particles with the size of 109.4 nm and encapsulation efficiency up to 86.6%. Both solid lipid nanoparticles with single emulsification and double emulsification exhibited sustained release for 12 h without an initial burst release. The results indicated that sodium aescinate-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles by double emulsification showed more drug loading and stability after reconstitution. The sodium aescinate-solid lipid nanoparticles with double emulsification demonstrated stronger anti-inflammatory activity, including paw edema and ear swelling in mice than that of free sodium aescinate. Therefore, solid lipid nanoparticles have great potential as an effective sodium aescinate delivery system for application in medicine.

Abstract
β-carotene (βC) is an essential nutrient for health. It is a potent antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory substance. However, βC has high hydrophobicity property, indicating a low absorption level in the digestive tract. The bioavailability of βC is reasonably low. Lipid-based delivery systems such as nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) potentially can help to overcome this problem. This research evaluated the bioaccessibility of the nanostructured mixture of palm stearin (PS) and palm olein (PO) and the antioxidant activity of βC in the structure. β-carotene bioaccessibility was studied by measuring the micellization during in vitro digestion. Antioxidants activity was measured by 2.2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline- 6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) and 2, 2 – diphenyl -1- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) reduction methods. In vitro gastrointestinal digestion model indicated that nanostructured lipid carrier enhanced bioaccessibility and antioxidants activity of βC. This suggests that the formulated NLC system can be used effectively to deliver lipophilic bioactive such as βC in beverage products.

Abstract
Conventional agriculture solely depends upon highly chemical compounds that have negatively ill-affected the health of every living being and the entire ecosystem. Thus, the smart delivery of desired components in a sustainable manner to crop plants is the primary need to maintain soil health in the upcoming years. The premature loss of growth-promoting ingredients and their extended degradation in the soil increases the demand for reliable novel techniques. In this regard, nanotechnology has offered to revolutionize the agrotechnological area that has the imminent potential over conventional agriculture and helps to reform resilient cropping systems withholding prominent food security for the ever-growing world population. Further, in-depth investigation on plant-nanoparticles interactions creates new avenues toward crop improvement via enhanced crop yield, disease resistance, and efficient nutrient utilization. The incorporation of nanomaterial with smart agrochemical activities and establishing a new framework relevant to enhance efficacy ultimately help to address the social acceptance, potential hazards, and management issues in the future. Here, we highlight the role of nanomaterial or nanocomposite as a sustainable as well stable alternative in crop protection and production. Additionally, the information on the controlled released system, role in interaction with soil and microbiome, the promising role of nanocomposite as nanopesticide, nanoherbicide, nanofertilizer, and their limitations in agrochemical activities are discussed in the present review.

Abstract
Aim: To enhance the tretinoin (TRE) safety profile through the encapsulation in nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC). Materials & methods: NLC-TRE was developed using a 23 experimental factorial design, characterized (HPLC, dynamic light scattering, differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray diffraction analysis, transmission electron microscopy, cryo-transmission electron microscopy) and evaluated by in vitro studies and in healthy volunteers. Results: The NLC-TRE presented spherical structures, average particle size of 130 nm, zeta potential of 24 mV and encapsulation efficiency of 98%. The NLC-TRE protected TRE against oxidation (p < 0.0001) and promoted epidermal targeting (p < 0.0001) compared with the marketed product, both 0.05% TRE. The in vitro assay on reconstructed human epidermis and the measurement of transepidermal water loss in healthy volunteers demonstrated an enhanced safety profile in comparison to the marketed product (p < 0.0002). Conclusion: The NLC-TRE enhances the epidermal targeting and safety profile of TRE, representing a potential safer alternative for the topical treatment of skin disorders using TRE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) are useful drug delivery systems for dermal application. Thanks to their biocompatible and biodegradable profile, these carriers offer many advantages such as enhanced bioavailability, low toxicity, viable drug targeting and controlled release. SLN and NLC are composed of well-tolerated lipids, including natural fats and oils that are successfully used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic dermal formulation. OBJECTIVE This article presents an overview of the benefits of selecting natural fats and oils as structural components of SLN and NLC for topical application. METHODS This review is based on data published over the past 20 years about the development of stable and nontoxic lipid nanoparticles with natural lipids. We shed light on the role of natural fats in skin restoration, as well as on the contributed penetration and occlusive properties of SLN and NLC. RESULTS The deliberate selection of excipients (type and lipid ratio) influences the quality of the final dermal formulation. Natural lipids show good compatibility with different active molecules and are able to create stable lipid matrices that facilitate the biopharmaceutical properties of lipid nanoparticles. Patents involving natural fats and oils in SLN and NLC composition are listed, yet it is important to note that the approved marketed formulations are mainly cosmetic, not pharmaceutical, products. CONCLUSION Natural lipids can enhance topical drug delivery by adding their ability of improving skin penetration and hydration to the permeation and occlusion properties of SLN and NLC.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is a topic of relevance worldwide because of the social and biological factors that triggered the disease and the economic burden on the health-care systems that imply its therapeutic treatment. Challenges to handle these issues include, among others, research on technological breakthroughs modifying the drug regimens to facilitate therapy adherence, avoid mycobacterium drug resistance, and minimize toxic side-effects. Lipid nanoparticles arise as a promising strategy in this respect as deduced from the reported scientific data. They are prepared from biodegradable and biocompatible starting materials and compared to the use of the free drugs, the entrapment of active molecules into the carriers might lead to both dose reduction and controlled delivery. Moreover, the target to the lung, the organ mainly affected by the disease, could be possible if the particle surface is modified. Although conclusive statements cannot be made considering the limited number of available research works, looking into what has been achieved up to now definitively encourages to continue investigations in this regard.

Abstract
Carotenoids are lipophilic compounds that provide important health-related benefits for human body functions. However, they have low water solubility and chemical stability, hence their incorporation in aqueous-based foods requires the use of emulsion-based lipid carriers. This work aimed at elucidating whether their inclusion in emulsion-based Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) can provide a protective effect against β-carotene degradation under different environmental conditions in comparison to liquid lipid nanoemulsions. Glyceryl Stearate (GS) was mixed with Medium Chain Trygliceride (MCT) oil to formulate SLNs. SLNs presented a significantly enhanced β-carotene retention and a slower β-carotene degradation kinetics at increasing storage temperature, acidic conditions and light exposure. In fact, SLNs formulated with 5% GS in the lipid phase and stored at 4 °C and pH 7 retained almost 70% of the initially encapsulated β-carotene after 55 days of storage, while it was completely degraded when it was encapsulated in liquid nanoemulsions. Moreover, it was observed that the solid lipid type affects the protective effect that SLNs may confer to the encapsulated lipophilic bioactives. Saturated long chain triglycerides, such as hydrogenated palm oil (HPO) presented slower and lower β-carotene degradation kinetics in comparison to solid lipids composed of MCT, such as Coconut Oil (CNUT) or MCT + 5% of GS in the lipid phase. This work evidences that the incorporation of lipophilic bioactive compounds, such as β-carotene, into SLNs slows down their degradation kinetics which might be attributed to a reduced diffusion of the oxidative species due to the lipid crystalline structure.

Abstract
Cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of death worldwide and is a major obstacle to increased life expectancy. However, survival has not improved significantly with average cancer standard treatment strategies over the past few decades; survival rates have remained low, with tumor metastasis, adverse drug reactions, and drug resistance. Therefore, substitute therapies are essential to treat this dreadful disease. Recently, research has shown that natural compounds in plants, such as phytochemicals, are extensively exploited for their anticarcinogenic potential. Phytochemicals may show their anticancer activity different cancer cell markers may alter molecular pathways, which promote in cellular events such as cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, regulate antioxidant status, cell proliferation, migration, invasion and toxicity. Although their outstanding anticancer activity, however, their pharmacological budding is hindered by their low aqueous solubility, poor bioavailability, and poor penetration into cells, hepatic disposition, narrow therapeutic index, and rapid uptake by normal tissues. In this situation, nanotechnology has developed novel inventions to increase the potential use of phytochemicals in anticancer therapy. Nanoparticles can improve the solubility and stability of phytochemicals, specific tumor cell/tissue targeting, enhanced cellular uptake, reduction of phytochemicals. Therapeutic doses of phytochemicals for a long time. Additional benefits include better blood stability, multifunctional design of nanocarriers and improvement in countermeasures. This review summarizes the advances in the use of nanoparticles for the treatment of cancer, as well as various nano-drug deliveries of phytochemicals against cancer. In particular, we are introducing several applications of nanoparticles in combination with phyto-drug for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) containing up to 37.5 wt % all-trans β-carotene in the lipid phase are potential water-dispersible food colorants. SLNs have been made by hot-melt high-pressure homogenization with fully hydrogenated sunflower oil and with polysorbate 80 and sunflower lecithin as stabilizers. Atomic force microscopy revealed the SLNs had thin platelet structures most likely derived from the triglyceride crystal β-form, as detected by X-ray diffraction. No indications of crystalline β-carotene were detected. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis showed the extensive isomerization of β-carotene into more than 10 cis isomers, suggesting that it is present as an amorphous mixture. The high β-carotene loadings did not affect the triglyceride crystal structure and the morphology of the SLNs. It is suggested the SLNs consist of a platelet core of crystalline triglyceride surrounded by an amorphous β-carotene-containing layer. The layered structure is suggested to affect the coloring power of the SLNs at β-carotene loadings above 15 wt % of the lipid phase.

Abstract
Hydrophobic bioactives can be more easily incorporated into food and have their bioavailability enhanced if nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) are used as carriers. In the present study, beta-carotene-loaded NLC were produced by low emulsification using murumuru butter and a mixture of Span 80 and Cremophor RH40 as surfactants. Their average diameter was 35 nm and alpha-tocopherol was required to protect the encapsulated β-carotene. Besides the evaluation of their physicochemical stability, NLC were submitted to dynamic in vitro digestion and cell viability assays with Caco-2 and HEPG cells. The bioaccessibility of beta-carotene in the dynamic system was about 42%. Regarding cell viability, results indicated NLC were toxic to the cell cultures tested. Such high toxicity is probably related to the type of surfactant used and to the extremely reduced particle size, which may have led to an intense and fast permeation of the NLC through the cells.

Abstract
The incorporation of nanotechnology as a means for nanopesticides is in the early stage of development. The main idea behind this incorporation is to lower the indiscriminate use of conventional pesticides to be in line with safe environmental applications. Nanoencapsulated pesticides can provide controlled release kinetics, while efficiently enhancing permeability, stability, and solubility. Nanoencapsulation can enhance the pest-control efficiency over extended durations by preventing the premature degradation of active ingredients (AIs) under harsh environmental conditions. This review is thus organized to critically assess the significant role of nanotechnology for encapsulation of AIs for pesticides. The smart delivery of pesticides is essential to reduce the dosage of AIs with enhanced efficacy and to overcome pesticide loss (e.g., due to leaching and evaporation). The future trends of pesticide nanoformulations including nanomaterials as AIs and nanoemulsions of biopesticides are also explored. This review should thus offer a valuable guide for establishing regulatory frameworks related to field applications of these nano-based pesticides in the near future.

This study evaluated the effects of the intracellular constituents of yeast microcarriers on the thermal and oxidative stability of encapsulated curcumin. Intact yeast cells and plasmolyzed yeast, i.e. yeast cell wall particles (YCWPs), of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were compared to Pickering emulsions in this study. Peroxyl radicals were generated with 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH) and thermal pasteurization was carried out at 70 °C and 90 °C. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and kinetic modeling were also employed. YWCPs provided significantly higher thermal stability to curcumin (91.8 ± 1.0% and 99.7 ± 3.1% at 70 °C and 90 °C respectively) compared to intact cells and Pickering emulsions; these results in YCWPs were attributed to the lack of native subcellular structures which are prone to denaturation and subsequently release curcumin. Native yeast, however, provided significantly higher oxidative stability to encapsulated curcumin. This oxidative stability in intact cells was ascribed to endogenous, cytoplasmic antioxidants and confirmed with ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays.

Abstract
Beta-carotene is an extremely interesting bioactive compound in the food industry due to its antioxidant capacity and pro-vitamin A activity. However, its incorporation into food products can be challenging, as it is highly hydrophobic and chemically unstable. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of incorporating beta-carotene-loaded solid lipid microparticles (SLMs) stabilized with a hydrolyzed soy protein isolate in yogurt. The SLMs were produced using palm stearin as the lipid phase. Microparticle dispersions containing only beta-carotene and both beta-carotene and alpha-tocopherol were incorporated into yogurts, comprising 5% of its total mass. This addition itself was efficient to provide color, and the presence of the lipid microparticles did not change the physicochemical or the rheological characteristics of the product. Based on the sensory evaluation, the panelists approved the yogurt, as average grades of global acceptance were around 8.0 ("liked it very much") on the hedonic scale.

Abstract
Abstract Microencapsulation is currently used by the food industry for different purposes, including the protection of ingredients against factors such as oxidation and volatilization, as well as to increase the bioavailability and bioaccessibility of nutrients. The current study aimed to encapsulate beta-carotene in solid lipid microparticles stabilized with whey protein isolate (WPI), and also investigate their integrity during storage and under stress conditions such as different ionic strengths, sucrose concentrations and thermal treatments. Solid lipid microparticles were produced using palm stearin, a food grade vegetable fat, using a single-step high shear process. Of the different formulations used for lipid microparticle production, characterization studies showed that the greatest stability was obtained with systems produced using 1.25% (w/v) whey protein isolate, 5% (w/v) palm stearin and 0.2% (w/v) xanthan gum. This formulation was applied for the production of beta-carotene-loaded solid lipid microparticles, with different concentrations of alpha-tocopherol, in order to verify its possible antioxidant activity. The results showed that the addition of alpha-tocopherol to the dispersions provided an increase in encapsulation efficiency after 40 days of storage that ranged from 29.4% to 30.8% when compared to the system without it. Furthermore, the solid lipid microparticles remained stable even when submitted to high ionic strength and to heating in the proposed temperature range (40 °C to 80 °C), highlighting their feasible application under typical food processing conditions.

Abstract
The stability of active compounds encapsulated in nanoparticles depends on the resistance of the particles to diffusion of environmental degradation agents. In this paper, off-lattice Monte Carlo simulations are used to investigate a suspension of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) composed of interspaced liquid and solid lipid domains, immersed in a solution containing molecules representing oxidative or other degradation agents. The simulations examine the diffusion of the degradation agents into the nanoparticles as a function of nanoparticle size, solid domain fraction, and domain size. Two types of suspensions are studied: one (representing an infinitely dilute nanoparticle suspension) where the concentration of oxidative agents is constant in the solution around the particle and the other, finite system where diffusion into the nanoparticle causes depletion in the concentration of degradation agents in the surrounding solution. The total number of degradation agent molecules in the NLCs is found to decrease with the solid domain fraction, as may be expected. However, their concentration in the liquid domains is found to increase with the solid domain fraction. Since the degradation reaction depends on the concentration of the degradation agents, this suggests that compounds encapsulated in nanoparticles with high liquid content (such as emulsions) will degrade less and be more stable than those encapsulated in NLCs with high solid domain fraction, in agreement with previous experimental results.
