Polyphenol stabilized lipid nanoemulsions: NaturaRecent Research Landscape

Bioactive compounds degrade rapidly when exposed to environmental factors, leading to poor shelf stability and low bioavailability. These innovations utilize specific seed oil lipid matrices to encapsulate polyphenols and submicroemulsions for targeted delivery and protection.

What technical problems is Natura addressing in Polyphenol stabilized lipid nanoemulsions?

Poor bioactive aqueous solubility

(14)evidences

Low solubility and rapid degradation of hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds limit therapeutic efficacy. Overcoming these barriers ensures effective systemic delivery via inhalation or ingestion.

Active ingredient oxidative degradation

(11)evidences

Unsaturated fatty acids in seed and essential oils are highly susceptible to chemical instability and rancidity. Preventing this breakdown preserves the functional integrity and shelf life of the bioactive delivery system.

Pigment oxidative degradation

(9)evidences

Bioactive compounds like astaxanthin and fatty acid esters are highly susceptible to chemical breakdown when exposed to environmental factors. Preventing this instability ensures the potency and shelf-life of the functional ingredients.

Low bioactive bioavailability

(5)evidences

Natural extracts from millet and okra often suffer from poor systemic absorption and rapid degradation. Improving bioavailability ensures therapeutic efficacy at lower dosages.

Oxidative phytochemical degradation

(2)evidences

Sensitive antioxidants like astaxanthin and oligosaccharides undergo rapid degradation and poor skin penetration. Preventing premature oxidation and payload loss ensures therapeutic efficacy in topical applications.
