The main objectives of this study were to develop and characterize hydrophilic polymeric membranes impregnated with poly-lactic acid (PLA) nanoparticles (NPs) combined with red propolis (RP). Ultrasonic-assisted extraction was used to obtain 30% (/) red propolis hydroalcoholic extract (RPE). The NPs (75,000 g mol) alone and incorporated with RP (NPRP) were obtained using the solvent emulsification and diffusion technique.

They were evaluated, using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the release of β-hexosaminidase, respectively. A plethora of biologically active polyphenols and the absence of allergic responses were evinced.
