Encapsulation of α-tocopherol in protein-based delivery particles

Incorporation of Vitamin E Onto Cross-Linked Galactomannan Phosphate Matrix and in Vitro Study

“…The reliability study of Vitamin E in CGPVE was conducted using a solution of pepsin and sodium chloride and also in the solution of pancreatin and buffer phosphate following the procedure from previous researchers [16,17]. 150 mg of CGPVE was added by 30 mL of SGF solution and 5 mL of tween 80 and stirred at 100 rpm for 30 min at 37°C.…”

Fabrication of vitamin E-enriched nanoemulsions: Factors affecting particle size using spontaneous emulsification

“…However, the utilization of a-tocopherol as a functional ingredient in food and beverages is currently limited owing to its heat and oxygen sensitivity, poor water-solubility, and low and variable bioavailability [9][10][11][12]. A number of different a-tocopherol delivery systems have been investigated as potential means to overcome these problems, including oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsions and emulsions [13][14][15][16][17][18], nanodispersions [19], nanostructured lipid particles [20], liposomes [21], and biopolymer-based nanoparticles [22][23][24]. Emulsion-based delivery systems have been found to be particularly suitable for improving the oral administration of oil-soluble vitamins [25].…”

Design of whey protein nanostructures for incorporation and release of nutraceutical compounds in food

“…Those authors observed that such nanosystems encapsulated efficiently DHA molecules producing a stable system able to protect DHA against oxidation, thus imparting health-improving properties to beverages and food products during storage. Somchue et al used -Lg and hen egg white protein as base matrix system for encapsulation of -tocopherol (Somchue et al, 2009). In order to protect and avoid the release of -tocopherol under harsh gastric conditions, alginate was used as coating for these encapsulated nanohydrogels.…”
