Article Synopsis
- - Quinoa oil, rich in unsaturated fats and vitamin E, faces stability issues that limit its use in food and cosmetics, but nanoencapsulation offers a solution by improving its dispersibility and enhancing its bioactive properties.
- - The study utilized O/W emulsification with porcine gelatin and whey protein to encapsulate quinoa oil, resulting in particles with smooth surfaces, appropriate sizes, and high encapsulation efficiency.
- - Testing showed that both free and nanoencapsulated quinoa oil were non-toxic to various cell types, and the nanoencapsulation significantly boosted antioxidant activity and enzyme inhibition, suggesting its potential for innovative applications.
