Melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer and can metastasize during primary tumor formation. This research aimed to determine the relationship between the prevention of melanoma development in a mouse model treated with liposomes loaded with soybean lunasin and amaranth unsaponifiable matter (UM + LunLip) and cell cycle arrest. Tumors excised from C57BL/6 mice treated topically or subcutaneously with UM + LunLip were subjected to immunohistochemistry.

Camellia seed oil (CSO), as a nutrient-rich edible oil, is widely used in foods, cosmetics, and other fields. In this work, the extraction, deacidification, decolorization, and deodorization processes of CSO were respectively optimized for meeting injectable oil standards. The results showed that the CSO extraction rate reached the highest level of 94% at optimized conditions (ultrasonic time, 31.

Vegetable oils have been utilized for centuries in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, and they contribute beneficially to overall human health, to active skincare, and to effective treatments. Monitoring of the vegetable oils is carried out by the methods described in the European Pharmacopeia, which is time-consuming, has poor repeatability, and involves the use of toxic organic chemicals and expensive laboratory equipment. Many successful studies using IR spectroscopy have been carried out for the detection of geographical origin and adulteration as well as quantification of oxidation parameters.
