To preserve benefic effects of antioxidants, they can be protected using a drug carrier. Conventional processes for the production of antioxidants-loaded carriers suffer of some drawbacks that can be overcome using Supercritical Assisted Liposome Formation (SuperLip). In this work, SuperLip was used to encapsulate an amphiphilic (eugenol, EUG)...

Liposomes are spherical vesicles formed by a inner aqueous core and a double lipidic layer around it. Conventional techniques for the production of liposomes are characterized by several drawbacks, like the production of micrometric vesicles, a difficult control of the Particle Size Distribution (PSD) and low encapsulation efficiencies (EE) of...

In the supercritical antisolvent (SAS) precipitation, the thermodynamic behavior of the system influences particles morphology. However, in the case of complex multicomponent systems, thermodynamic data are limited and there is the common tendency to neglect the solutes and consider the system as pseudo-binary (solvent−CO2)....

Supercritical carbon dioxide was used to obtain porous polycaprolactone (PCL) patches impregnated with nimesulide. PCL is a semicrystalline biodegradable polyester that can be used in drug delivery, and nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which has good solubility in supercritical CO 2 . The foaming of PCL and its impregnation...

: The aim of this work concerned the production of an active food packaging suitable for refrigerated foods. Polylactic-acid-based films were produced by optimizing the solvent casting technique and testing different loadings of extracts obtained from spent coffee grounds. Indeed, an extract obtained by high-pressure and -temperature extraction...

Active packaging manufactured with biopolymers extracted from agri-food waste is one of the most innovative and eco-sustainable strategies for maintaining food quality. However, biopolymers often present poor performances, which hinders their competitiveness compared with plastics. This work focused on developing and optimizing a natural...

This work is a comparative study among three different biocompatible and biodegradable polymers, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), poly(epsilon-caprolactone), and poly(lactic acid), used to produce microparticles for the encapsulation of bevacizumab for drug delivery purposes. All the formulations were produced using the double emulsion...
