c) Lipid nanoparticles and nanoemulsions for drug encapsulation
•
Solid lipid nanoparticles and antioxidant topical nanoemulsion based on
natural products were developed through phase inverse temperature without
the need of sophisticated equipment. lipid core is made of natural wax
•
For the emulsion, an ethoxylated emulsifier, one vegetable oil and one
natural extract were used.
•
Results indicate low polydispersity (~0,1), long term estability (over a year)
and very good reproducibility. (patent submitted)
