Red palm oil (RPO), which is rich in carotenoids and tocotrienols, offers significant health-promoting properties. However, its utilization in functional foods is hindered by poor water solubility and instability under certain processing conditions. This study aimed to overcome these limitations by enhancing the bioactivity and stability of RPO through the ultrasound-assisted fabrication of nanoliposomes, formulated with varying ratios of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EYPC) to RPO.

Ultrasonication significantly reduced the reaction time for synthesizing WPI-GTE conjugates compared to the standard R method (p < 0.05).
