“…Although CCM has been shown to exhibit many bioactivities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and various malignant diseases, it is extremely limited in its application due to its low bioavailability related to its insolubility in water as well as its poor absorption and rapid metabolism (Aggarwal, Sundaram, Malani, & Ichikawa, 2007;Anand, Kunnumakkara, Newman, & Aggarwal, 2007;Anand, Sundaram, Jhurani, Kunnumakkara, & Aggarwal, 2008). Attempts to improve the bioavailability of CCM have been reported by making complexes with carriers, such as bovine serum albumin (Bourassa, Kanakis, Tarantilis, Pollissiou, & Tajmir-Riahi, 2010), human serum albumin (Mandeville, Froehlich, & Tajmir-Riahi, 2009;Zsila, Bikadi, & Simonyi, 2003), b-lactoglobulin (Mohammadi, Bordbar, Divsalar, Mohammadi, & Saboury, 2009;Sneharani, Karakkat, Singh, & Rao, 2010), immunoglobulin (Liu et al, 2008), chitosan (Shelma & Sharma, 2010), phospholipids (Liu, Lou, Zhao, & Fan, 2006) or by formation of liposomes (Li, Braiteh, & Kurzrock, 2005), micelles (Sahu, Kasoju, & Bora, 2008) and encapsulation or nanoparticles (Bisht et al, 2007;Shaikh, Ankola, Beniwal, Singh, & Kumar, 2009;Wang et al, 2008).…”
