BACKGROUND: Nanoemulsions formulated with citric essential oils are currently of interest because of their physical and chemical properties and multiple applications in areas such as the food industry or agrochemicals. ...

Emulsions can be used as delivery systems for bioactive ingredients for their incorporation in food products. Essential oils are natural compounds found in plants that present antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. ...

Phycocyanin (PC), a protein pigment obtained from algae, is attracting attention due to the search for new plant-based alternatives to stabilise food products. Furthermore, PC presents surface activity and is able to reduce ...

Lemon essential oil (LEO) is associated with a multitude of health benefits due to its anticancer, antioxidant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties. Its drawback is that it is very sensitive to oxidation ...

Microfluidization is a preparation method that can be used to obtain emulsions with sub-micron droplet sizes. The first objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of homogenization pressure and cycles on droplet ...

Different continuous phases formulated with ecofriendly ingredients such as AMIDET®N, an ecological surfactant, as well as welan and rhamsan gums were developed. An experimental design strategy was been in order to study ...

In this work, nanoemulsion-based delivery system was developed by encapsulation of fennel essential oil. A response surface methodology was used to study the influence of the processing conditions in order to obtain monomodal ...

Phycocyanin (PC), a natural protein that is very interesting from the medical point of view due to its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, is obtained from algae. This compound is gaining positions for ...
