Synthesis of highly stable encapsulated astaxanthin/β-cyclodextrin microparticles using supercritical CO2 as an antisolvent

Recent Advances in the Therapeutic Potential of Carotenoids in Preventing and Managing Metabolic Disorders

“…Other factors that alter their stability include transition metals and radical species [ 130 ]. Various micromaterials have been used to prevent the degradation of carotenoids or their isomers; for example, supramolecular oligosaccharides such as cyclodextrins [ 131 ], soluble fibers such as pectin [ 132 ], and protein residues from cereal grains such as barley [ 133 ].…”

Co-encapsulated astaxanthin and kaempferol nanoparticles: fabrication, characterization, and their potential synergistic effects on treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

“…The components used for nanoparticles fabrication, such as bcyclodextrin, lecithin, and cremophor RH40, are non-toxic compounds and have been designated as safe by the Food and Drug Administration. [25][26][27] The strong compatibility of astaxanthin and kaempferol with surface-active agents such as lecithin and cremophor RH40, in conjunction with the carrier b-cyclodextrin, resulted in the formation of red-colored nanopowder with excellent water dispersibility (Fig. 1a).…”
