AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on creating α-tocopherol loaded nanoliposomes to carry DHA and EPA, and examined their physicochemical properties like particle size and oxidation levels.
- The liposomes had sizes ranging from 82.4 to 107.2 nm and showed less lipid oxidation at higher temperatures compared to control samples.
- Findings indicated that α-tocopherol effectively enhances the antioxidant properties of DHA and EPA within the liposomes during storage.
Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to prepare α-tocopherol loaded nanoliposomes as carriers of DHA and EPA and to investigate their physicochemical properties, such as peroxide value (PV), volatile compounds (VOCs), particle size, size distribution, zeta potential and morphology of the liposomes. The particle size of liposomes was in the range of 82.4-107.2nm. The highest extent of lipid oxidation was observed at 40°C for 90days, with the lowest PV and propanal levels for a nanoliposome formulation in comparison with the control sample. The zeta potential of the nanoliposomes was decreased during storage. No significant change in the PV and zeta potential of the liposome formulations with α-tocopherol was observed at 4°C after 90days (0.14meq/kg and -43.5mV, respectively). This study demonstrated that incorporation of α-tocopherol into liposomes contributes a significant antioxidant effect on DHA and EPA.
