Abstract Subcritical water was used to provide propolis oil in water (O/W) nanoemulsions. To monitor and detect the main bioactive compounds of the prepared propolis extract, gas chromatography demonstrated that there were 47 bioactive materials in the propolis extract, among which pinostrobin chalcone and pinocembrin were the two key components. Effectiveness of two processing parameters such as the amount of saponin (0.5–2.0 g) and propolis extract (0.1–0.6 g), on particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, and antioxidant activity of the provided nanoemulsions, was evaluated. Results demonstrated that more desirable propolis O/W nanoemulsion, with minimum particle size (144.06 nm) and PDI (0.286), and maximum zeta potential (−21.71 mV) and antioxidant activity (90.86%) were made using 0.50 g of saponin and 0.53 g of propolis extract. Further analysis revealed that the prepared nanoemulsion based on optimum processing conditions had spherical shaped propolis nanodroplets in the colloidal solution with turbidity and maximum broad absorption peak of 0.08 a.u. and 292 nm, respectively. The prepared nanoemulsion had high antibacterial activity against both selected bacteria strains namely, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

AbstractGarlic oil in water nanoemulsion was resulted through subcritical water method (temperature of 120 °C and pressure of 1.5 bar, for 2 h), using aponin, as emulsifier. Based on the prepared garlic oil nanoemulsion, astaxanthin–garlic oil nanoemulsions were prepared using spontaneous microemulsification technique. Response surface methodology was employed to evaluate the effects of independent variables namely, amount of garlic oil nanoemulsion (1–9 mL) and amount of provided astaxanthin powder (1–9 g) on particle size and polydispersity index (PDI) of the resulted nanoemulsions. Results of optimization indicated that well dispersed and spherical nanodroplets were formed in the nanoemulsions with minimum particle size (76 nm) and polydispersity index (PDI, 0.358) and maximum zeta potential value (−8.01 mV), using garlic oil nanoemulsion amount of 8.27 mL and 4.15 g of astaxanthin powder. Strong antioxidant activity (>100%) of the prepared astaxanthin–garlic oil nanoemulsion, using obtained optimum amounts of the components, could be related to the highest antioxidant activity of the colloidal astaxanthin (>100%) as compared to that of the garlic oil nanoemulsion (16.4%). However, higher bactericidal activity of the resulted nanoemulsion against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, were related to the main sulfur bioactive components of the garlic oil in which their main functional groups were detected by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy.

Applying bioactive ingredients in the formulation of foods instead of artificial preservatives is problematic because bioactive ingredients are unstable and sensitive to environmental conditions. The present study aimed to control the antioxidant activity of green tea extract (GT) through encapsulating in chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NP). The synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The encapsulation efficiency (EE), particle size, zeta potential, and polydispersity index (PDI) of GT-loaded CS-nanoparticles (CS-NP-GT) were assessed. Based on the results, the particle size and zeta potential related to the ratio of CS to GT of 1 : 0.5 were obtained as 135.43 ± 2.52 nm and 40.40 ± 0.2 mV, respectively. Furthermore, the results of FT-IR and XRD confirmed the validity of encapsulating GT in CS-NP. In addition, the antioxidant activity of GT increased after nanoencapsulation since the IC50 value of CS-NP-GT decreased to 6.13 ± 0.12 μg/ml. Finally, applying these particles for delivering GT polyphenols in foods is regarded as promising.

Cantigi is an endemic plant of sub-alpine area of Mount Tangkuban Parahu in Bandung, Indonesia. Previous study showed ethanol extract of young red leaves had antioxidant activity, however no information on this activity if changed into nanoparticles. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of gelatin and glutaraldehyde concentrations on the characteristics of Cantigi extract loaded gelatin nanoparticles and to evaluate the antioxidant activity of nanoparticles. Cantigi leaves were extracted by maceration using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol 96%. The ethanol extract was dried, made into nanoparticles by varying gelatin (0.1; 0.2; and 0.3 g) and glutaraldehyde (0.1; 0.2; and 0.3 mL) amounts, and conducted at 500 rpm and 40 °C for 3 hours. Nanoparticles were evaluated for particle size, zeta potential, morphology, and antioxidant activity. Nanoparticles with glutaraldehyde amount variation had particle sizes (PS) of 105.9±26.2; 37.1±8.7; and 32.5±7.4 nm; polydispersity indeces (PI) of 0.508; 0.717; and 0.563; zeta potential values (ZPV) of 0.55; 0.89; and 0.78 mV; and antioxidant activities (IC50) of 56.15±0.16; 53.67±0.10; and 51.57±0.39 ppm, respectively. Then, nanoparticles with gelatin amounts variation had PS of 22.5±5.1; 37.1±8.7; and 83.3±21 nm; PI of 0.604; 0.717; 0.326; ZPV of 1.27; 0.89; 0.18 mV; and antioxidant activities of 51.58±0.19; 53.67±0.12; and 55.46±0.04 ppm, respectively. Nanoparticle morphology was spherical. Cantigi leaf extract can be made into gelatin nanoparticles; the smaller the concentration of the polymer used and higher the concentration of the glutaraldehyde, the smaller the resulted particle size and increased antioxidant activity. Antioxidant activities of nanoparticles was lower than those of the extract (IC50 16.84±0.30 ppm).

Replacing synthetic surfactants by natural alternatives when formulating nanoemulsions has gained attention as a sustainable approach. In this context, nanoemulsions based on sweet almond oil and stabilized by saponin from Quillaja bark with glycerol as cosurfactant were prepared by the high-pressure homogenization method. The effects of oil/water (O/W) ratio, total surfactant amount, and saponin/glycerol ratio on their stability were analyzed. The formation and stabilization of the oil-in-water nanoemulsions were analyzed through the evaluation of stability over time, pH, zeta potential, and particle size distribution analysis. Moreover, a design of experiments was performed to assess the most suitable composition based on particle size and stability parameters. The prepared nanoemulsions are, in general, highly stable over time, showing zeta potential values lower than −40 mV, a slight acid behavior due to the character of the components, and particle size (in volume) in the range of 1.1 to 4.3 µm. Response surface methodology revealed that formulations using an O/W ratio of 10/90 and 1.5 wt% surfactant resulted in lower particle sizes and zeta potential, presenting higher stability. The use of glycerol did not positively affect the formulations, which reinforces the suitability of preparing highly stable nanoemulsions based on natural surfactants such as saponins.

Aloe vera L. contains antiseptic saponins and anthraquinone complexes as antibacterial. This research was conducted to formulate aloe vera powder into nanoemulgel, characterize and test its physical properties, and to know the effect of gelling agent concentration (carbopol and chitosan) on nanoemulgel. Emulsion type used is oil in water (O / W) with surfactant tween 80 and co-surfactant propylene glycol. Nanoemulsion is characterized by percent of transmittance with UV-Vis spectrophotometer, also potential droplet and zeta size distribution with Particle Size Analyzer. Hydrogels consist of 4 combination formulas of carbopol 0.5%; 1%; 1.5%; 2% and 0.3% chitosan. The formula is tested for physical properties including organoleptic, pH, spreadability, adhesion, viscosity and stability with freeze thaw method. The results showed that the nanoemulsion droplet size was 65.05nm ± 13.49 with zeta potential of -0.1mV and the percent of transmittance above 98%. The result of physical properties of the four formulas shows that the different gelling agent concentration gives different physical properties of viscosity and spreadability. Overall, formula 3 has the best physical properties and physical stability compared to formula 1, 2 and 4.

Poor water solubility and slow dissolution rate are issues for the majority of upcoming and existing biologically active compounds. Simvastatin is poorly water-soluble drug and its bioavailability is very low from its crystalline form. The purpose of this study wasto increase the solubility and dissolution rate of simvastatin by the  preparation of nanosuspension by emulsification solvent diffusion method at laboratory scale. Prepared nanosus-pension was evaluated for its particle size and in vitro dissolution study and characterized by zeta potential,differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-Ray diffractometry (XRD), motic digital microscopy, entrapment efficiency, total drug content, saturated solubility study and in vivo study. A 23 factorial design was employed to study the effect of independent variables, amount of SLS (X1), amount of PVPK-30 (X2) and poloxamer-188 (X3) and dependent variables are total drug content and polydispersity Index. The obtained results showed that particle size (nm) and rate of dissolution has been improved when nanosuspension prepared with the higherconcentration of PVPK-30 with the higher concentration of PVP K-30 and Poloxamer-188 and lower concentration of SLS. The particle size and zeta potential of optimized formulation was found to be 258.3 nm and 23.43. The rate of dissolution of the optimized nanosuspension was enhanced (90% in 60min), relative to plain simvastatin  (21% in 60 min), mainly due to the formation of nanosized particles. These results indicate the suitability of 23 factorial  design for preparation of simvastatin loaded nano-suspension significantly improved in vitro dissolution rate and thus possibly enhance fast onset of therapeutic drug effect. In vivo study shows increase in bioavailability in nanosuspension formulation than the plain simvastatin drug.
