“… Therapeutic benefits: [57] Herbal extracts often contain bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids, which possess various therapeutic properties. Encapsulating these herbal extracts allows for the controlled release and targeted delivery of these bioactive compounds, enhancing their therapeutic efficacy. Natural and sustainable impacts: [58] Herbal extracts are derived from natural sources such as plants, herbs, and botanicals and are perceived as natural and sustainable alternatives to synthetic compounds, making them attractive for encapsulation in products such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmeceuticals. Promising antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties: [59] Many herbal extracts exhibit antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties due to the presence of bioactive compounds. Encapsulation helps to protect these compounds from degradation and oxidation, preserving their beneficial effects and improving their stability. Enhanced bioavailability: [60] Encapsulation techniques can improve the bioavailability of herbal extracts by protecting them from degradation in the gastrointestinal tract and facilitating their absorption into the bloodstream.…”

In this research, the extract of Ephedra intermedia Schrenk &C.A.Mey was encapsulated using the mini‐emulsion polymerization method based on methyl methacrylate polymers with a nanometer size. The encapsulated extract was characterized using different analytical techniques. Furthermore, the loading efficiency and release of the plant extract were examined. FT‐IT spectroscopy confirmed the formation of an expectational product. The TEM and SEM imaging showed a spherical morphology for the prepared encapsulated extract. The average size of poly‐methyl‐methacrylate nanoparticles containing Ephedra extract was found to be approximately 47 nm. The extract loading efficiency and encapsulation efficiency test demonstrated a dose‐depending behavior on E. intermedia extract for both analyses, which is highly advantageous for traversing biological barriers. The release assay shows a controlled release for the extract at phosphate buffer solution (PBS). A 38% release was calculated after 36 hours. The results obtained from the present study reveal that encapsulating the plant extract is a suitable alternative to control and increase their medicinal properties.

Abstract:: Vitamin nano-engineering has been accomplished by synthesizing various nanostructures to improve their stability, bioavailability, shelf life, and functioning. This review provides a detailed description of recent advances in the art of encapsulation with high efficiency through the use of practical and logistic nano-engineering techniques such as nanofibres, nanogels, nanobeads, nanotubes, nanoparticles, nanoliposomes, and many other nanostructures. To demonstrate the interaction of molecules with nano-forms, the bioavailability of several vitamins such as B, C, E, A, D, and others in the form of nanostructures is explored. This review will provide a thorough understanding of how to improve bioavailability and nanostructure selection to extend the utility, shelf life, and structural stability of vitamins. While nanoencapsulation can improve vitamin stability and distribution, the materials employed in nanotechnologies may offer concerns if they are not sufficiently tested for safety. If nanoparticles are not adequately designed and evaluated, they may cause inflammation, oxidative stress, or other unwanted effects. Researchers and makers of nanomaterials and medication delivery systems should adhere to established rules and regulations. Furthermore, long-term studies are required to monitor any negative consequences that may result from the use of nanostructure.
